and anuses are vaginas, as long as you treat them as one.
the anus isnt self lubricating :(
It can be if you’re lactose intolerant.

Muscles, nerves and mucous membranes in your anus
It is though…

As a man of science I prefer to test every theory.
everything is a file including a filesystem*
* including databases
And the worst FAT32
Honestly that’s basically what CephFS is
@possiblylinux127 Or BeFS
BeFS doesn’t run on top of a data store. CephFS runs on RADOS.
For example, a directory full of spreadsheets.
Somewhere, a sysadmin is pulling his hair out
Tbh still preferred to that asshat who rolls out an MS Access “app”
or CSV files
Every Homestuck fan already knows this.
@RizzRustbolt What’s your fetch modus, warrior?
“I have a system”. Items are sorted randomly on to the top of “piles”. I can retrieve any item from any pile, but pulling from anywhere except from the top of the pile destroys it.
@RizzRustbolt Associative array here. Aka dictionary. Boring but practical.

@mugdad1 Trick is, I’m not on Lemmy.

Welcome to the lovely world of the Fediverse! Mastodon and Lemmy, among many other kinds of software, both run on ActivityPub. This means that even if the servers aren’t both running Lemmy or Mastodon, they still speak the same language and can therefore understand the content of each other’s posts (think of it as email, gmail.com can still send and receive mail to outlook.com). Other examples of AcitvityPub software are Misskey, Mbin, Friendica, Pixelfed, Loops, Piefed, PeerTube and many others that I haven’t learned about yet. While they theoretically can all fetch and present posts from each other, due to the choices that each developer makes while designing their software, it might not be very possible to get every post from every software. For example, Mastodon is all about following people, and Lemmy about following communities. Even though Mastodon is able to follow Lemmy communities, Lemmy has (as of writing) no function to follow people (yet).

@mugdad1 I don’t mix, I’m on Mastodon. I just mentioned @linuxmemes in op-post et voila! Neat, huh?
That’s what federation is all about.

I love how pacman/libalpm database is just directories with tiny little files, and it’s faster in resolving dependencies than mostly anything else
I don’t know why this one was such a good laugh, but great first post.
@some_guy Thank you!
That’s less the Unix way and more the BeOS way.
Just fucking putting data into json files in a folder is so much easier than databases. Sure, databases are faster and give you access to powerful SQL queries. But if you’re just making something small and simple, you don’t need those things. Save yourself the hassle and just use the filesystem.
Or use minio/s3, which can either be the best or the worst of both worlds depending on your usecase.
The trouble is, filesystems don’t have ACID. The first time you have a power loss during a write, your data will get corrupted.
Hmm that’s a valid criticism, thanks for pointing it out
Duckdb can query them with SQL like they are in a database. Csv, tsv, parquet also. You can even connect to and query postures and cloud storage also
It also makes you re-implement a database, but worse.
Use a JSON file if you just need to serialize/deserialize some data. Use SQLite or a DB server if you need more. Your own code will never match the quality of SQLite.
Sqlite is the best in most cases
Made a bash script using sqlite recently to automate processing some data. Best part is it terrifies everyone else at work and no one else wants to touch it because it’s on Linux and none of them have used it before.
Didn’t someone actually try making SQL as a filesystem and it ended up being something like 50 times slower than ZFS after they applied a ton of optimizations?
Not as a serious project, but more like a joke to see what would actually happen.
git repo is blockchain
Filesystem-as-a-db is why MongoDB is webscale. You just turn it on and it scales right up.
