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.
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.
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.

🏃♂️ Po měsíci zase klus – dobrá zpráva, achilovka drží 👍. Dnes po práci břišáky a posilko, zítra už kolo. Jen to světlo je čím dál kratší… když přijedu v půl 7, už se venku moc nestihne
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…
Maybe there could be a better user guiding for new registrations in #Matrix #Apps (#Element, #ElementX) to give a better choise for #Homeservers instead to lead people always to matrix.org.
Status update: we've restored the 55TB snapshot and subsequent incremental backups, and are about to replay the remaining traffic since the backup. There are still several unknowns, but if things go well the matrix.org instance should be back in 3-4 hours.
It's finally here! With the JAWS 2025 update, multi-line support for braille displays has been implemented, among many other exciting features: support.freedomscientific.com/…
FYI the TFWP that the Harper government expanded to bring in more than 500,000 LOW-SKILLED workers btwn 2006 and 2014 to be exploited by employers in the restaurant and retail industries, in addition to the agriculture industry, etc.?
Remember the Harper government that Pierre Poilievre propped up for a decade?
@hub Pierre Poilievre was the Minister of Employment and Social Development in 2014... he literally had a seat at committee to change the TFWP THEN... but didn't. He just kept increasing LOW-SKILLED worker entry for exploitation.

#Tyflopregunta Va a sonar raro, ya lo sé, pero quisiera saber si a vosotros os interesan las reuniones, actividades, información que proviene de las instituciones de y para ciegos. Veo que tienen presencia en redes sociales, incluso en algunas tan visuales como tiktok y me pregunto si realmente personas ciegas les siguen y si consideran útil la información que difunden, incluso seguirles en redes. La pregunta no va con segundas, es genuina curiosidad.
A mi me podría interesar. Como insisten en pasar la agenda cultural y otros calendarios de reuniones en PDF y me niego a leerlos en ese formato, me enteraría de cosas, posiblemente.
@modulux Yo digo lo que David. A lo mejor en redes sociales me enteraba de algo. Y de hecho en Linked In me entero de algunas tonterías, como el resucitado, debate entre personas con discapacidad y diversidad funcional, que por cierto, hicimos muy bien en sacar ese término para que siga habiendo debate.
@evarela @modulux Hola, he visto lo de ese debate. Lo del resucitado, no tengo idea. os habéis referido varios a la de España, aunque yo me pregunto si os interesa, por ejemplo, alguna otra más global (desconozco si hay alguna Europea; que latinoamericana sí que hay).
We're proud to announce a new stable release of Mixxx: version 2.5.3, this version not only contains updates and fixes for some issues reported by users, but it also contains improvements to the Digital Vinyl System (DVS) support.

Hello everyone. We have a special treat for you: a new blogpost that is a audiovisual whirlwind tour through a neglected era of music technology. It's easily the longest, but also the best-researched and most fun thing we've ever written: hikari.noyu.me/blog/2025-08-24…
I keep reading that the “right way” to use AI for coding is to treat it like a team of junior developers.
Wow, every developer’s dream: writing less code, managing more people, and reviewing lots of poorly written code. And with the added bonus that the “junior devs” you are pouring all this time into, will never improve as a result of your efforts.
First, I hope they will improve. Second, don't know about everyone, but yes, for me it saves a lot of time. I prefer reviewing code and correcting it over writing tons of boilerplate and tests manually.
I have a question. Does anyone know where I can get earcups for #logitech headphones that ship to the EU? Thanks. Also, not Amazon please, we don't have it here.

As a nuclear engineer, I have never been asked to show my portfolio of reactor designs I maintain in my free time, I have never been asked to derive the six-factor formula, the quantization of angular momentum, Brehmsstrahlung, or to whiteboard gas centrifuge isotopic separation, water hammer, hydrogen detonation, or cross-section resonance integrals.
There's something deeply wrong with an industry that presumes you're a fraud unless repeatedly and performatively demonstrated otherwise and treats the hiring process as a demented form of 80s-era fraternity hazing.

Millions of women entrusted their menstrual data in the period cycle app, Flo. But the court says Meta was intentionally eavesdropping on users' in-app communications.
Consumer Reports evaluated period tracker apps to find out how well they protect your privacy. The data the apps collect could be used against you in a post-Roe v. Wade world.
@drathir , probably I will never understand the women who need to lead such notes. I mean any notes for their m cycle. Because it is natural, intuitive, even easy. In 95% and even more the lady can feel and trust her body. It’s not like flush.. it takes time with regular and very precise warnings.
Pity that so many people can’t read or sense these body signals. Because they happen a day or even several days before.
Today is exactly twelve years ago since we created the lib/http2.c source file in the #curl source tree, and doing HTTP would never be the same again.
The paradigm shift going from one transfer per connection to possibly multiple transfers per connection was massive and took many years until most of the bugs were ironed out.
@icing well, if the spec is complete and unambiguous, it should be possible to describe the problem with a state machine? Then it should be possible to implement and verify it, or?

Sorry, my mindset was shaped by doing Code for an ASIC (with an own communication protocol) --> and we knew: It has to work 99,99% bugfree with the first tape out. But it needs a lot of Testing and Verification to ensure that.
Guess make it perfect was not an option for you cause of the shipping delay.
