Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers.

@JadedBlueEyes

Holy crap. I would not expect this from an industry giant (Though I guess I should.)

That certainly shatters my trust in cloudflare a bit. #devops #programming #networking

[lexinova@cyberplace.social]

@JadedBlueEyes And even if they did, centralize a decentralised system on cloudflare what a good idea

[sodiboo@gaysex.cloud]

@lexinova@cyberplace.social @JadedBlueEyes@tech.lgbt I think it is fundamentally interesting to try and port software to run on cloudflare workers. Like, it's a stack with very different assumptions and tradeoffs. Having alternatives is always nice. I don't think it's bad for this to exist. I don't see how that leads to centralization.

But the execution is bad. Lmao.

[lexinova@cyberplace.social]

@sodiboo @JadedBlueEyes because Cloudflare own half of internet ?

if it's not centralizing even more ... what is this ?

[themagicnacho@hachyderm.io]

@JadedBlueEyes The first paragraph smelled like total BS.

[sodiboo@gaysex.cloud]

@JadedBlueEyes@tech.lgbt Oh yeah. Wait what the fuck. Even i know this and I've never touched the codebase. It's rocksdb and there was at one point SQLite, right?

@JadedBlueEyes@tech.lgbt

I’m not gonna be trusting anything Cloudflare after this.

as if you should've been doing this in the first place

[_r@donotsta.re]

@JadedBlueEyes@tech.lgbt reminder that half of the internet relies on these people. I’m scared for the future

[darkcat09@gts.dc09.xyz]

@JadedBlueEyes
It has always been RocksDB, right?
Oh, Conduit also supports SQLite iirc

[aspensmonster@tenforward.social]

@silo_bear @JadedBlueEyes Seriously.

Before this: "Well, CloudFlare at least has smart people working there I guess."

After this: "CloudFlare are sloperators."

[jadedblueeyes@tech.lgbt]

@darkcat09 Conduit started with Sled, and then moved to a KV abstraction that let them add RocksDB and SQLite support. Conduwuit then removed everything but RocksDB, which is what Tuwunel and Conduwuit are forked from

@JadedBlueEyes The comments under this commit make it at least a bit funnier

[darkcat09@gts.dc09.xyz]

@JadedBlueEyes
I don't think anyone should've ever trusted cloudflare before

[henryk@chaos.social]

@JadedBlueEyes So, what you're saying, is, this is "post-quantum" in the sense that its security properties will not be significantly degraded by the existence of working quantum computers.

@JadedBlueEyes I remember how they did same thing for activitypub, and it looked (and worked lol) like a very, very cheap & bad mastodon clone

To scale: it showed DMs in public timelines

[outsidecontext@fosstodon.org]

@JadedBlueEyes Oh yes, great fix. I also always resolve TODO comments by just deleting them. It'll be fine.

[joepie91@fedi.slightly.tech]

@JadedBlueEyes This is almost a minor criticism in comparison to all the other crap, but I am so sick of companies calling things 'serverless' when what they really mean is "servers, but only ours and they're really opaquely billed and impossible to replace with someone else's servers so you're stuck with us, and also they're managed in a totally custom way so none of your normal sysadmin skills are portable to it but you still have to learn how to manage it"

[jadedblueeyes@tech.lgbt]

@outsidecontext Same. It’s the fastest way to resolve it, and that means it’s the best, right?

[theodora@rivals.space]

@JadedBlueEyes this is the best PR https://github.com/nkuntz1934/matrix-workers/pull/1/changes

[petunia@fedi.transgender.ing]

@JadedBlueEyes@tech.lgbt worst game of spot the difference i have ever played
