Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers - eviltoast
And perhaps sidestepping its own policy in the process.

    Once again, privacy-disrespecring discord is nuking things to keep its own ass safe. FOSS devs, when will you ever learn?

      Matrix is literally there.
      Just host your own god damn servers alongside your webpage (assuming it’s not running on Guthub pages)

        I looked into matrix servers the other day for an unrelated reason and tbh the amount of resources they ask for is way more than you need for a webpage (dendrite asks for 1gb ram minimum for a number of users, and that’s without accounting for postgres)

          So that’s an absolute lie, I run synapse + WhatsApp bridge with 500MiB. Dendrite is supposed to be more efficient

            That’s what their docs say:

            At an absolute minimum, Dendrite will expect 1GB RAM. For a comfortable day-to-day deployment which can participate in federated rooms for a number of local users, be prepared to assign 2-4 CPU cores and 8GB RAM — more if your user count increases.

            That’s not accounting for Postgres.

              Weird how it requires all of that for http requests.

              Something tells me it could be more efficient.

                It’s much more than just “http requests”, honestly. A Matrix server and e.g. nginx have very little in common.

            I got that. What I mean is that you can easily have a tiny 256mb VPS for a bunch of static websites or even some WordPress and the official matrix servers would require you to easily double or triple the bill.

              Dunno what devs use or spec to host their webpages or if they also use it for some dev work like building packages or something else.

              So if there are spare ressources, might as well use it.
