  • I don’t know about other homeserver implementations but synapse kinda sucks. It used to randomly eat 100% of 1 or 2 CPU cores (including the database) until I tracked it down to 3 rooms having a messed up state which caused costly SQL queries. I removed the rooms from my server (using a third party admin panel because there’s no proper admin GUI built in, the documentation just mentions curl commands to hit the admin API, with placeholders to manually replace). It has been fine since I did it, but I’m the only user on my server. And I expect other issues to come up at any time…

    It also eats a lot of storage, mostly the database. It grew very large quickly, but it’s more stable now















  • There are a few things I don’t like about this scoring system :

    • Why is there a “Top Provider Content Share” metric if its gonna score the same as the “Top Provider User Share” every time ?
    • Why is the Top Provider Content Share not higher than the user share ? For instance, emails usually have at least one sender and one recipient, making it twice as likely that at least one of them is using gmail. If an email has 10 recipients across 10 different providers, each provider has a copy of the data
    • Why is ease of hosting a mail server rated so well ? How is “leveraging email hosting services” decentralized in any way ?
    • Why are we using a random repo created a few hours ago by a random github user as a reference ?
