Synapse Collapse

How we nearly crashed our Matrix server; what we did wrong and how we're fixing it. Plus an update on elementary OS, GNOME's next chapter, and we kick off the NixOS Challenge. NixOS Challenge Goals: Study the Nix Expression Language (https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix_Expression_Language) Setup at least one Nix/NixOS system (https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/). Install htop (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/system/htop/default.nix). Join the Nix Nerds Matrix channel (https://linuxunplugged.com/matrixinfo). Post a screenshot in the NixOS Challenge GitHub (https://github.com/JupiterBroadcasting/nixos-challenge/). Complete all the above before the end of April. Special Guest: Danielle Foré.
