I'm really glad tilde.team has raid 1 redundancy. Hourly backups are great, but if the disk fails (which it will, in 3-5 years), then there will be unscheduled
this box has ssds, not spinning disks. they have a far longer expected lifespan. that's not something that i'm overly concerned about.
I'm not overly concered with downtime of ~team (Or any ~tilde) to be honest.
It should be considered best practice to have accounts on at least two tilde systems, with content mostly mirrored, or to have your configs and data in some sort of source control anyways.
Basically, ensure you can live online like a migrant worker.
down time and the need to get hetzner to install a new disk and copy from the latest fully-intact hourly backup.
I never had an expectation of data being backed up, although, that is an appreciated service.
My suggestion would be to have a tilde.team referendum (a program registered on "tilde" for voting should suffice), and set a minimum participation level and percentage of votes required for the issue to pass. This will also set the precedent for how governance issues should be handled in the future.
sounds good to me. could even just be something distributed here on the mailing list.
I believe many FOSS projects use a disparate mailing list for votes. Any non-vote email is just rejected from the list during voting periods. Just an idea.
However, for voting, if that is such a thing, should be done via a cli too. This ensures easy automatic tallying, anonymous voting, and a good way to ensure one-vote, one person. It's hard to forge an account here.
thanks for the input! _______________________________________________
