oh that’s a good point, this repo *does* have a github remote.

lemme get back to you in a few weeks, i got something

wait, how so? genuinely curious!

we also won't require forks; you'll just submit a set of commits for contribution atop of `main`/`trunk`.

sorry for the delay. for full disclosure: we're building a proprietary SaaS product, raised venture capital, and find "open core" software to be distasteful. we have not considered what federation entails, but strongly believe that this is *your* data.

oh, i was making a dumb joke about how half the polycules i know have an SSO setup.

as for federation: whatcha mean? activitypub-style federation, something more like tangled, or…?

the latter is going to need to pay the sso tax on ersc.io, unfortunately

i think this analogy is more revealing than intended, given the infamous personalities of many surgeons

they’re very proud of the fact that they don’t have any SREs there

1. go-to-def being slow is interesting/weird, ty. i should profile it sooner than later. do you have cache priming enabled?
2. give it a try. doesn’t require nightly, just a clone and a cargo xtask. it’s been a big improvement for things like autocomplete, IME

(for one, if you have many, try disabling rust-analyzer’s native diagnostics. we lock on a per-open file basics, which causes some severe degradation in performance)

ah. the single core performance there is pretty darn good, and ra’s performance is bottlenecked on single-core. two follow-up questions:
1. how many tabs of buck2 code do you have open at any given time
2. have you tired using HEAD (building from source) of ra with the new trait solver

what’s your hardware, outta curiosity?
October 23, 2025 at 12:33 AM
you should put in _just_ your email; none of the `ersc subscribe --newsletter`. sorry about that UI not being clear!

TL;DR: I'm going to be leaving @oxide.computer next month, which I'm very sad about. But it's to join @ersc.io , which I'm very excited about!
