A new engineer discovers how Cloudflare used #LMDB for their distributed config https://xcancel.com/UltraSive/status/1948967694004326605#m
"99th %ile of reads dropped by two orders of magnitude!"
"LMDB stability has been exceptional. It has been running in production for over three years. We have experienced only a single bug and zero data corruption. Considering we serve over 2.5 trillion read requests and 30 million write requests a day on over 90,000 database instances across thousands of servers, this is very impressive."
New for OpenLDAP 3.0 - forget about bothersome index configuration. Just feed your entire DB into chatGPT. Search queries will be answered immediately by #AI, without maintaining any indices.

It's not a "smart" appliance if it only works while connected to a 3rd party's remote server, and can be knocked out of commission by a WAN outage. Smart appliances should only communicate with your LAN. https://mastodon.social/@augieray/113501696022120792
Most sci-fi stories involving time travel involve a mechanism that's incredibly rare and/or difficult to operate.
What if complete plans for a working time machine, including its power source, were published anonymously on the web, in a decentralized fashion? (Impossible to identify who published it, or from where, and thus making it impossible to go back and prevent the publication.) What if anybody could build their own, using commonly available parts and tools?
It's only April and my PV panels have already hit a peak output over 10% over their rated capacity (yesterday). The power graph from today clearly shows the jump around 9am when the sun is finally in front of the house. The house faces SSW so the panels aren't getting direct illumination from sunrise, though they're still producing a tiny bit of power then.
Other cryptocurrency projects talk a big game about being the future of money, but they're all just scams to separate speculators from their cash. #Monero has demonstrated time and time again that it's actually focused on being a useful currency, not a vehicle for speculators. https://blog.bitfinex.com/education/the-fortunes-of-monero/

We've relied on this property in the past, to prove to an installation that the database corruption they were experiencing wasn't an LMDB bug - it turned out to be a faulty DRAM DIMM in their server. Without LMDB's deterministic write behavior, convincing someone of these cases would be a lot more difficult.
But proving the presence of a bug and narrowing down its cause are really two different tasks, and thus requires two different types of logging.
There's an art to debugging with print statements. You need to show enough to be able to identify problems happening, without being so verbose as to overwhelm with useless noise. When #LMDB is built with debug logging enabled, the output can be too voluminous to sift thru.
But it shows exactly what the code is doing, in such a way that you can parse the log and rerun the exact same operations, and get an identical database as a result.

Timelines and following hashtags is still a stupid way to interact with people. The Usenet model of topics is still the better model. You can't build meaningful thoughts from a firehose of non-sequiturs.
