I hope there are more regular meet-ups in Berlin? Unfortunately I couldn’t come last week.

Not sure about regular meetups, but there are enough crabs in Berlin by now that we can always organize a one-off hangout. Given your "history in more artsy domains", you'd probably get along well with @andreas and @cafca.

I’d also think it would be amazing to install a pub at places like the campus of TU Berlin. How realistic is that?

As somebody typing this response from a room and network at the TU, I'd very much like the idea of a pub running here. And it'd be great to get more TU people involved here - both because of activist streaks, and with ssb slowly entering academic territory. This wouldn't even be the first academic pub, there's one at the uni basel already.

@cryptix Would it be a good idea to try setting up a go pub? I'm kinda scared of setting up a containerized, memory-leaking, regularly crashing js pub...

@Aljoscha I'm a bit hesitant to put a version on go-ssb butt I regularly cross compile go-sbot to two deployments, you might have used them already.. :)

They don't crash or leak all over the place but since it's all concurrent and not at all optimized for memory allocations yet, it will eat upto one maybe two gb of ram, depending on the size of the network you throw at it. Some numbers for the xxZeu-pub: I have it at hops:2 and it tracks 10k feeds with 1.4mio messages using about 1gb of ram after loading the repo with its index k:v's and stays under 1.5gigs for about 18hrs while it is getting 0.1 new connections per second avg over that timeframe.

I try to squash them but hanging bugs can accumulate and I hate to say it but it's still a back and forth of fixing and introducing new bugs around muxrpc and session handling. Complicated way of saying: It might need a little supervision but a daily cronjob to restart it is enough, at least for the current master and I intend to for less not more of course.

With that disclaimer out: I'd love to hear from your experience with it would help where I can to get it useable. The building instructions on the readme should help you get the bot and cli binaries built, if you choose to shine light down this rabbit hole.. :)

@aljoscha you can run a while loop in a tmux session and it's pretty much indestructable. I'm running ssb-server@14
