Oddbean new post about login | logout Why you getting so defensive? You are wrong . I proved you wrong with an actual tangible thing called ditto.
you haven’t proven anything, you just stated another Postgres relay exists, not that it scales.
Of all the things I would argue with Will about, (xmonad sux) how Nostr relays work isn’t one of them. 😏
haha xmonad is a bit cluncky but I have customized it too heavily and its hard to move off it :( I would love to switch to wayland one day but im stuck 🥲
https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl thank me later
What is this dev magic, and what does it do
basically dwm but on wayland. Same suckless phylosophy, suckless hackability, tons of cuatomizations by codebase patches, same config.h files to customize. Its a bit more bloat and difficult to hack-with because it implements wayland protocol and that means it needs to handle more things windows-compositor-side and sometimes breaks things from a version to another cause protocols changes. But works, its great.
How would you explain dwm to a someone from the cro-magnon era? Asking for a friend
a tiling window manager; a nerdy, minimalistic and hackable way to put things on screen on a linux pc doing keyboard key-combos. Often the time required to get into these things would be better spent doing real things with friends and family, but everyone has his passions I think..😅 For graphical reference, here is dwm or something very similar: nostr:nevent1qqs9d67ryv58jhr863r3gqxvnmthykcctgdd32szdq3njwalustcyaspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtczyqalp33lewf5vdq847t6te0wvnags0gs0mu72kz8938tn24wlfze6qcyqqqqqqgecks8m
Thanks. Makes sense jaffers is into this stuff
the ceo 🙏
Postgres is an academic experiment and every time I've seen someone attempt to scale it, it ends in tears. Salty, salty tears, and massive amounts of un-necessary hardware deployed in an attempt to stop the mysterious bleeding out of its performance under a high rate of queries. Maybe postgres Jesus will join the org and save it somehow, but he never does. Anyway, MySQL is better, and lmdb seems best for what nostr is doing (serving notes directly from a memory mapped cache).
MySQL is better? lol no. Not true at all. NoSQL like Scylla or Cassandra would be the better choice. Sure, LMBD serves a lot from memory mapped cache but for some reason, IO is still way higher than competing technologies. Postgres is much lighter for IO for NOstr's use case.
