I wrote my own key-value database (with drive and memory storage), so I didn’t have to use SQL.

Just got bored one night and built a blog off of it.

Edit: I’m literally tempted to write an API server around this, add sharding, and call it a night.

You could say that.

I absolutely detest SQL. I will probably go to my deathbed having never typed a line of SQL in my life. I don’t know why I hate it as much as I do, but I refuse to learn it – my brain won’t let me.

I’ve programmed in C, C++, Python, BASIC, JavaScript, Assembly, etc. I wrote CGIs for Apache in all these languages, so I didn’t have to touch PHP. Every time I get near SQL or PHP, I start wanting to pull my hair out.

When did Mongo go proprietary?

Edit: I’m actually wanting to make my entire project open source. MongoDB’s current license, requiring all infrastructure to be open, might actually be for me.

Can I ask why? Are there errors in the append log? Does it forget things?

Not questioning your character. Just curious what your personal experiences were.

Found it!

According to KBB, green is making a comeback.

I remember so many colors on the road. Greens. Oranges. Pinks. Navy. Teal. Yellows. All manner and shade of purple. Now it’s just. . . Bleh.

My aunt earned a Mary Kay pink Cadillac, and we were all so proud of her. I think people would crap themselves if they saw a pink car on the road nowadays.

It’s like the world doesn’t have a soul anymore.

Fair critique.

And, can I not create a separate account on them?

Ergo, just because you unfederated something, doesn’t mean it dies.

The only issue here is whether I should be able to login to an unmoderated server with a moderated server’s account, I believe I should. Since the only content a moderator truly controls is what comes across their own server either way.

Both, my idea, and Lemmy, allow for unmoderated servers.

By that logic, so does Lemmy.

That’s not how it’s supposed to go, mate.

Please show me where I said I wanted it unmoderated. I want moderators to choose what they host on their own servers, but for users to be able to use multiple servers. Said that multiple times.

Optimized translates to, for a single use case.

The more form you give something, the narrower its uses become. Which is why innovative sites must spend years hatching schemes to work within “optimized” wheels. It’s why Google and Amazon have both created their own databases and left SQL behind. Because SQL is optimized for a very specific use case.

Then you get into other problems, like http(s). It was optimized for one-time connections, because you connect to something, send a request, get it, then the connection closes. Which lead to the need for WebRTC – which is an entire mess of its own, trying to get around that restriction.

Optimized means a use-case became narrower and narrower over time. One of the most reinvented things in history, other than the mousetrap, is the wheel.

No, but this sub is pretty much filled with questions just like it. And you haven’t said a thing to any of them. Which makes me think this particular post has hit a nerve?

The lowest trust was politicians and news media. The highest in that survey was small business and military (what a marriage). Small businesses charge the military $35 for a screw.

Trust and asking questions are separate things. Trust is a feeling. Asking questions is a lifestyle change.

Then you’re getting work done under the terms of what you’re told, which again, puts you under the control of those who tell you what to do. Why can’t you question what you’re doing, while you’re doing it? Are there really people who can’t think while they’re working?

You should be trying to break everything you’re told, as soon as you’re told it. That’s called thinking. You don’t have to voice it, but you should be trying to find exceptions to the rules as soon as a rule is presented to you.

You should have an internal feeling of the subject matter that you compare to your life experiences, and then wonder if there are exceptions to what’s being presented.

People are self-serving. And if you’re not constantly questioning what you’re told, you’re going to be under their control. Pursuing their interests.

I mean, every student in class had questions and thoughts about how the math could be manipulated when he was teaching us.

Nah, I was talking about making an alternative to Lemmy, where forums were local to each server, but your home server allowed you to login to third-party servers. That way, a balance would be created between mods being able to moderate the servers they owned and users being able to choose the servers they interacted with.

I was quickly called a Nazi, because I valued free speech (what they actually said), and would inevitably want to join Nazi groups – even though I’m Ashkenazi.
