Matrix 2.0 — Matthew Hodgson talks about Rust in Element client, Rust SDK, IETF MLS, MIMI and more
Now, the Matrix Foundation has decided to use Rust to improve bits and pieces of their Gen 1 Home Server - Synapse. The server itself is still largely in Python though. That being said, some of the improvements to the performance of Synapse based home servers can partly be attributed to the usage of Rust.

High availability
For synapse it's not possible (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7076). I don't know about the other server implementations
Issue "README claims you can run a "hot spare" synapse, which is incorrect #7076" points to "multi-master setups" in issue Shard master process. #6677 which continues in issue Shard master process. #7593.

How should I set up a private chat server/client for my family ?
One of the main methods for adding redundancy to Synapse Matrix is workers, which you can read into here. On top of that, with simple scripting you can set two servers to run the same master Synapse, such that when one goes down, the other spins up, so that updates and such have extremely low downtime. I'm vaguely aware of there being more you can do being those steps as well but I haven't looked further into it.

Matrix was worth the effort to self host.
Initially I started with Matrix-Synapse. The toughest part was figuring out how to setup a subdomain to host my matrix server on, while still being able to point users to the main domain when they sign-up. (@user:example.com instead of @user:matrix.example.com). Once I figured out how delegation worked with a reverse proxy I got it working and figured id try dendrite. Dendrite is the second generation matrix server written in Go and it I think its configuration is easier and its footprint is smaller than matrix-synapse. However since its still a work in progress and its in beta stages some features aren't implemented and there were a few hiccups that made me switch back to matrix-synapse. So when dendrite is good to go I'll definitely be switching to that.

Notion-like self-hosting alternative for project management?
Does someone recommend me a good alternative? I've checked outline but it seems lacking a lot of these features, plus they over rely on google and slack... And I'm also planning on creating a rocket.chat server for a self-hosted slack alternative.
