    Finished a second read of @scalzi &amp;#39;s &amp;#39;the shattering peace&amp;#39;, and only now do I realise that the colony actually *isn&amp;#39;t* locked away in a separate universe forever...

    Error: No such option: --repo-url (Possible options: --repo-branch, --repo-type, --repository-url) 🤦‍♂️

    @bert_hubert@eupolicy.social I didn&#39;t mean to offend, but &quot;sqlite can&#39;t be as fast as LMDB because of its design choices&quot; is the statement *I* was trying (but perhaps failing) to make. That doesn&#39;t make those design choices invalid -- in most cases I prefer SQL for ease of debugging -- but if performance *really* matters, LMDB is really the only option. That doesn&#39;t mean &#39;everything else is slow&#39;, just that LMDB is faster @hyc@mastodon.social @Archivist@socia...

    @bert_hubert@eupolicy.social You mean like https://www.sqlitetutorial.net/sqlite-blob/, correct? Your SQL engine would still be involved, and needs to do string parsing just to understand what it is you want to store in binary. Yes it&#39;s faster than converting to base64 and back, but not as fast as a memcpy ala LMDB. I said &quot;*really*&quot; for a reason 😉 @hyc@mastodon.social @Archivist@social.linux.pizza

    @hyc@mastodon.social To be completely fair, SQL requires you to convert to and from string representation the whole time. If performance *really* matters, anything SQL-based is a mistake @Archivist@social.linux.pizza

    @fosdem On a side note, if your favourite talk is still listed as &quot;preview&quot; on https://review.video.fosdem.org/overview, please reach out to the speaker or devroom manager. They can review the talk and release it for viewing.

    As my account has been removed, it&amp;#39;s now official: I am no longer a FOSDEM organiser. This was my choice. I wish the organisation all the best for the future, and if time and money allow, might come again as a mere visitor, for the first time in 22 (!) years.

    And the prize for the first talk to successfully go through the FOSDEM review system goes to... &quot;Unlocking development with ActivityPub Client to Server api&quot;, by &quot;Django Doucet&quot;, in H.2215 at 13:10 today! #FOSDEM cc @fosdem@fosstodon.org
