    SQLite continues to be the “Do Nothing. Win” of databases

      It’s wild how it has the fastest read performance of any other sql backend, even postgres.

        I remember using SQLite like 12 years ago as a backend for Minecraft mods, and even more recently as a backend for HomeAssistant and switching away to something else for performance…and now switching back. Kudos to them for all the work that went into that! Worst to first!

        I love SQLite but is this still true? I thought DuckDB was on its way to supplanting SQLite is this areai

    • One of the biggest shifts is the move from the LevelDB database backend to SQLite
    • The command-line interface … old single-dash long options removed, some options renamed, and others reorganized into subcommands.

    Sounds like it’s fully compatible query devices running older version. Great.

    Doens’t look like Syncthing-Fork is on 2.0 yet. They have an RC but if you use it, you might want to be careful upgrading before they release.

      Is 2.0 backward compatible with 1.x?

        Protocol-wise? I don’t know. But usually major version bumps indicate some kind of breaking change.

    I relied on Syncthing for a few years until my laptop became so powerful that a desktop was no longer needed (I do pro-audio work in Logic with lots of plugins; but I’m also just a nerd power-user). This has me thinking about getting back into using it to sync a much smaller amount of data, such as my Bash profile and custom functions, as well as some custom binaries that I keep in ~/bin. But I’ll wait until a few releases into the 2.x cycle before I install while others help find the rough edges.

    Hooray for development of awesome tools. Hats off to all the devs involved.

      It’s really weird reading your comment because it reads as if I wrote it.

      • I do pro audio work in Logic & Ableton
      • Was syncing projects between my desktop, laptop and homelab for a few years
      • No longer need to with my M3 Max macbook
      • Am a nerd power user and sync my dotfiles between my machines (i’d recommend chez-moi instead of syncthing for that because there’s less risk of messing up a machine and conflicts)

      What kind of audio stuff do you do?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
