The Matrix.org network has great potential, but after years of dealing with glitches, slow performance, poor UX, and one too many failures, I’m done with it.
I’ve been running the same matrix instance since ubuntu 18.04lts, just upgraded the virtual machine along the ride, so that has to be +6 years it’s been running 24/7.
I have not once rebooted my server due to performance reasons (like a mem leak). And like last 4 years I’ve ran the instance virtualized on a hp thin client, lately on a hp t640.
While I understand the criticism towards synapse being a complex and slow, and element being slow-ish, I don’t feel justified saying synapse would need any restarts in general. At least I have never restarted it in 6+ years and my instance has been working without those required restarts.
Yeah, I miss the irc, too. I still use it via my matrix instance.
I’ve never had to reboot the server; I had to restart Synapse because if Memory leaks.
Are you using any bridges?
Anyway, it got too expensive to run my own, so I went back to Matrix.org. Now I’m mostly back on IRC except for a couple of rooms. IRC stinks, but Matrix has been nothing but a decade of pain.
