Looks like Matrix was able to restore from a snapshot and didn't need to use a dump/restore method, so they've escaped certain death this time.
Now let's see if they learn their lesson and do something about their db corruption / storage failures issues they claim keeps happening
RT: friedcheese.us/objects/91f3c6b…
Oh a mysterious "slow burn" of Postgres corruption? Where is the engagement on the Postgres mailing lists? I haven't seen a single thread about this issue on the pgsql-general or pgsql-hackers lists.It's either a hardware storage bug, a raid implementation bug, a kernel bug, or their Postgres/filesystem tuning is trading data reliability for performance. But they're not sharing anything of value.
Postgres doesn't just corrupt itself. We have several DBs > 100TB at $work. Many people have significantly larger databases...
I kinda doubt their recovery times too. They will probably forget that they need to disable indexes to make the restore have a reasonable speed. And pg_restore is single threaded per table. 1.5TB can take 1.5 days.
blog.peerdb.io/how-can-we-make…
I think they're fucked. I wonder if they will be able to recover without it taking months, literally. They haven't indicated they're using anything but vanilla Postgres.
This could be the end of the matrix.org homeserver.
How can we make pg_dump and pg_restore 5 times faster?
pg_dump and pg_restore are reliable tools for backing up and restoring Postgres databases. They're essential for database migrations, disaster recovery and so on.Sai Srirampur (PeerDB Blog)

Wired, Business Insider Editors Duped By Completely Bogus ‘AI’ Using ‘Journalist’ Who Made Up Towns, People That Don’t Exist
techdirt.com/2025/09/02/wired-…
Here's Wired's mea culpa:
wired.com/story/how-wired-got-…
Techdirt's Karl Bode correctly concludes: "This country has taken an absolute hatchet to quality journalism, which in turn has done irreparable harm to any effort to reach reality-based consensus or have an informed electorate. The rushed integration of “AI,” usually by media owners who largely only see it as a way to cut corners and undermine labor, certainly isn’t helping. Add in the twisted financial incentives of an ad-based engagement infotainment economy, and you get exactly the sort of journalistic outcomes academics long predicted."
The rushed integration of half-cooked automation into the already broken U.S. journalism industry simply isn’t going very well. There have been just countless examples where affluent media owners r…Techdirt

motives might be worse beyond what is told on a website. basically political, banning and restricting birth control, abortion and woman rights.
forced pregnancy and birth might be a point.

This is what I’ve been working on for last months at #CVUTFEL – electronic door sign for classrooms. 10.2" e-ink display, ESPink #ESP32 board from #Laskakit, battery (for some), a custom case, firmware and control server. Receives images via MQTT, sends telemetry back. #IoT
The case was designed in FreeCAD and printed it on Prusa MK3S and Prusa Core One. Firmware is built on Arduino SDK with patched GxEPD2_4G lib. Control server is written in TypeScript and runs on NodeJS. It renders screens to 2-bit grayscale PNG and sends via Mosquitto.
The price is ~115 EUR of you order the e-ink display and battery directly from China.
Most of this is my work, from the hardware up to the control server and also monitoring. It’s a very interesting project, a nice change from what I normally do because it’s a physical object. :)
This batch is 32 pieces and they will be installed mainly in Dejvice this month.
