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
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.
Theyβre more like blob storage.
Blob storage usually uses a FS back end so itβs more like blob storage is like a file system
git repo is blockchain
You're right! Ill just store all this data as static json files in a directory then
and anuses are vaginas, as long as you treat them as one.
bussy
As a man of science I prefer to test every theory.
the anus isnt self lubricating :(
It can be if you're lactose intolerant.

Muscles, nerves and mucous membranes in your anus
It is though...
For example, a directory full of spreadsheets.
Somewhere, a sysadmin is pulling his hair out
or CSV files
Tbh still preferred to that asshat who rolls out an MS Access "app"

If file systems are databases, then does that mean storing a sqlite db on a HDD is database inception?
everything is a file including a filesystem*

@linuxmemes Wow, that worked!
How do you post from mastodon to lemmy?
@mogoh I just mentioned the group and it worked!
The way it's supposed to be!
I'm so happy for this omfgrotflolcopter
Oh, that's really cool. I hope there's more linkage between the twitter-like and reddit-like islands of the fediverse in the future; I'm somewhat interested in reading the former but it seems to be complicated to actually get federation with it.
Federation.
Wait till you get a comment from threads. I've only had it happen once and it made me feel dirty.
That's less the Unix way and more the BeOS way.
welcome to lemmy im new also
@mugdad1 Trick is, I'm not on Lemmy.
wtf how do you mix between lemmy and mastdon i also have account there but i didn't thought that the content will be here also so please explain
That's what federation is all about.
ok tried mentioning my self their it worked i didn"t knew about that yes i wondered how they are mixed sometimes thanks man
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).
man i wanna be your frind what an amazing explainition you rock π₯°π₯°π₯° i understood everything thanks also i got pixelfiled and mastodon and lemmy and i saw the connection thanks i posted in mastodon can you please go there and see it @[email protected]
And files are streams. π΅ Islands in the stream. π΅

Filesystem-as-a-db is why MongoDB is webscale. You just turn it on and it scales right up.
