remram commented on Show HN: Minikv – Distributed key-value and object store in Rust (Raft, S3 API)   github.com/whispem/minikv... · Posted by u/whispem
remram · 6 days ago
Bit of a tangent, but what I'm looking for is a S3-compatible server with transparent storage, ie storing each file (object) as an individual file on disk.

Minio used to do that but changed many years ago. Production-grade systems don't do that, for good reason. The only tool I've found is Rclone but it's not really meant to be exposed as a service.

Anyone knows of an option?

Yikes. Notable that it rarely happens though!

Does mean that debugging and getting it back up might take more time as they aren’t necessarily “battle tested” for this situation.

Their regular maintenance window is Tuesdays, and there are often issues then.
remram commented on Mozilla's new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox   theverge.com/tech/845216/... · Posted by u/latexr

First want to address the general hate/distrust Mozilla is getting. Based on their behavior the last many years, this is fair.

However, we've got a new CEO, and one from the Firefox side who openly talks about Firefox being the core focus for Mozilla. This is exactly what we've been asking for! I think we should give them a chance.

On the AI thing - I don't personally want AI in my browser. However, I do see some inevitability there, and I appreciate the stated approach:

> there’s still an AI Mode coming to Firefox next year, which Enzor-DeMeo says will offer users their choice of model and product, all in a browser they can understand and from a company they can trust.

If I can easily turn it off or point it at my own provider, this seems fine to me (maybe even good). I'm quite hesitant to let AI take any actions, but if there is sufficient user control/configurability then it could end up being a useful feature. If it's programmable through an API (such as with extensions) I could see some real personal use for that!

Let's not forget that Mozilla is one of the most important players in the open web. They made some big mistakes, but if they course correct and become what we need them to be, they could be one of the most important heroes of the time.

When the device sync finally works reliably or bookmark tags work on mobile, I will concede that you've turned a corner. What I expect is more theming and AI bullshit, time will tell.

> Did Git used its branch name to enslave people?

Git took the branch name from Bitkeeper which did have "slave" branches and used a "master/slave" analogy. Git didn't also inherit the "slave branch" concept in that same way, but it did have that heritage accidentally imported when git lazily reused that branch name.

> Does it need to be said that if the US had or has a problem, it's they alone who need to deal with it?

Slavery/indentured servitude is a worldwide problem that still exists today in countries that are not the US. Even if you think this is an over-correction in relationship to the historic US Slave Trade specifically, that was a multinational effort involving the British Empire, the Dutch Empire, and many other Former Colonies beyond just the US' involvement. The US took advantage of the trade, but it neither invented the trade nor was the lone slave owning country involved in that trade, nor was it the last country in that trading group to end slavery trading in practice even if it was one of the last ones on paper.

I'm not trying to argue against it, I think "slave" branches make no sense anyway, but to GP's point BitKeeper didn't enslave anybody, just used the word.

If we believe we should remove allusions to negative things why are we ok with "kill", "orphan", "evict", "bash", "cut", "isolate" etc? What is special about that terrible concept that we should stop using the word even when not applied to people at all?

That image is over one year old: https://github.com/linuxcontainers/debian-slim/pkgs/containe...

Google Container Registry provides a pull-through mirror, though, just prefix `mirror.gcr.io` and use `library` as the user for the Docker Official Images. For example `mirror.gcr.io/library/redis` for https://hub.docker.com/_/redis.

Is there a way to configure alternate mirrors in containerd?

AFAIK, Web Wormhole is the only one of those tools that can be used both as a command-line tool and from a browser. It looks like the site is down at the moment though. https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole https://webwormhole.io/

For stuff like archive and backup you can use ovh object storage infrequent access. Comes to 5$ per GB but you pay for what you use only and it scale infinitely.

Be aware of its security flaws -- https://github.com/longhorn/longhorn/issues/1983

Allowing anyone to delete all your data is not great. When I found this I gave up on Longhorn and installed Ceph.

Not sure I read that formula right, but isn't the data loss limited to the last 100ms (worst case)?

I don't see many single user/desktop application use cases where that kind of time range would be risky.

Maybe if you used this as the main production database with thousands of concurrent sessions. But that doesn't seem to be their main use case, is it?

remram · 6 months ago
Do you see any single user/desktop application that needs the kind of speed boasted in the README? The one you are trading durability for?
