| 20:33:23 |  neighborlyjim | Is there any benefit to hosting a node? Can I create private rooms that only I can see like let's chat, but still contribute to the overall infrastructure? |
| 20:34:54 |  tulir | rooms exist equally on all servers that have members in them (and only on those servers) |
| 20:41:10 | neighborlyjim | This is interesting. So, if I'm running a server in a vm on my network, how does the web browser I'm using know to utilize that server? |
| 20:44:15 | |  twpeagle changed their display name from tgray96 to twpeagle. |
| 20:45:24 | tulir | current web browsers generally aren't matrix clients, but you of course need to tell your matrix client which server to log in to |
| 20:46:10 | neighborlyjim | Gotcha. So, it's likely that the users that are currently serving this room are not using riot? |
| 20:46:26 | neighborlyjim | I'm gonna go do some research and see what this is capable of |
| 20:46:46 |  jcgruenhage | You can tell riot to use a different server too |
| 20:46:47 | jcgruenhage | I'm using Riot together with my own server |
| 20:50:00 | neighborlyjim | I just joined the Homelab Discord channel, and I'm like "Look at me, I'm hip and cool on discord!!" Then, here comes a reddit post that brings me here and WTF? |
| 21:09:44 | jcgruenhage | That was probably my post that brought about a quarter of the people in here |

| 14:25:48 | jcgruenhage | Fun little joke prototype, this pifs |
| 14:28:34 | jcgruenhage | Nice to see that still more people are joining this room! Welcome everyone who came in since friday :) |
| 14:40:51 | Kenneth | Yeah it's a pretty funny read |
| 20:31:34 |  shaggadelic | Kenneth |
| 20:31:45 | shaggadelic | Is that 100% compression actually legit? |
| 20:34:39 | jcgruenhage | shaggadelic: pi has the interesting property that every combination of ones and zeros is somewhere in it, so theoretically you can store data in pi by finding it and storing it's index. You aren't storing the data then, so it's compressed 100%. The problem with this is, that storing the location inside pi in most cases takes considerably more space than the data itself, so it's not useful at all |
| 20:35:48 | shaggadelic | Thanks for the explanation. Still a rather cool concept, even though it's not practical at the moment. |
| 20:36:08 | jcgruenhage | It's a nice toy project, but it will never become practical |
| 20:46:43 | tulir | In reply to @shaggadelic:matrix.org
Is that 100% compression actually legit? 100% compression is of course actually impossible |
| 20 Feb 2019 |
| 02:03:47 | Kenneth | Yeah I don't think it's meant to be practical. It's more like brainfuck but for file systems |
