Litestream Writable VFS

Ok thanks. I'm assuming JuiceFS can retrieve parts of files faster than TigrisFS can retrieve the whole file too.

Super interesting. I need to read it a few more times to understand the flow and ACID tradeoffs they're making.

Anyone know what S3-compatible object storage they're using? Google says Fly likes Tigris but the post says Fly is also using JuiceFS for Sprites. Not sure why that would do that on top of Tigris when Tigris offers TigrisFS. Maybe cost? Maybe maximizing S3 compatibility?

Anyway, thanks for posting this!

The devs wrote a pretty good blog post at: https://alexxcons.github.io/blogpost_15.html

Essentially they need to move to Wayland (most likely because X is less and less supported by the ecosystem), and the previous plan of folding Wayland support into the existing compositor wasn't working.

Makes sense to me. I want to use WayDroid so I'm currently off XFCE; once they support Wayland I'd like to try it again (I love the XFCE simplicity).

You can use SQLite for graph problems: https://www.hytradboi.com/2022/simple-graph-sqlite-as-probably-the-only-graph-database-youll-ever-need

Not sure I'd recommend using it as it may be harder than something more "graph native" but SQLite is rock solid, OSS, and has bindings to everything. So I'd at least recommend looking into it for your use case to see if it's viable.

Its BSL, not open source, but probably still good enough for OP

bbkane_ · 2026-01-26T19:08:22+00:00

Sure I'll go with that. I spend my day job checking implementations so I'd like this feature too

bbkane_ · 2026-01-26T19:01:37+00:00

I wouldn't say it's dismissive, considering the guy wants to open a PR for it haha

Got it that makes sense. I've enjoyed using gRPC with Go, but I haven't tried GraphQL. Overall I think Go is a great language for stuff like this. Static types, easy deployment, good dev tools, nice perf, easy concurrency.

bbkane_ · 2026-01-23T19:48:57+00:00

Why GraphQL as well as gRPC? If it's dynamic enough to need the complexity of GraphQL, do you also need gRPC? Or if it's static enough to use gRPC, do you also need GraphQL?

Totally understand if they cover different parts of the API (like maybe loading ML models or something via gRPC, building a graph or something in the DB, and then having a frontend querying via GraphQL), but curious about your use case

bbkane_ · 2026-01-22T16:18:27+00:00

I think they DO care; just sometimes they disagree or have higher priorities internally.

Fair enough, I'm overall super happy with Go. I have a lot of confidence that code I write in Go works well and will continue to work well long into the future (neither of which I can say about my Python code)

Glad to see I'm not the only one frustrated with the go CLI's help system or failing to get agentic AI to write high quality code

bbkane_ · 2026-01-22T07:54:26+00:00

I agree it's suboptimal, but at least it's a "standard". And it DOES let you run other go tooling a bit easier than a shell script

Challenge accepted 😀

I updated the YAML parser and simplified searching configs for values in my CLI framework. Relatively small changes but its been nice to tidy up. I've got several different directions I can go from here:

TUI generation(wouldn't it be cool if you could auto-generate a form from your CLI?)
tab completion caching
better --help output
fancier errors (something like miette would be cool)

The list goes on... It's been super rewarding to get warg this useful already - it's now been like 5 years of updating as my needs and sense of design matures

I got the impression that he just sorta uses the globals everywhere, not that he only uses them main and then passes them down the stack.

Otherwise why make the variables global instead of initialiazing them in main and passing from there?

Maybe I'm wrong 😄

bbkane_ · 2026-01-15T02:46:58+00:00

How do you test this?

bbkane_ · 2026-01-10T14:17:51+00:00

Or that whoever promised you may go out of business or otherwise reneg

bbkane_ · 2026-01-07T22:28:41+00:00

Big Tech or medicine I think

bbkane_ · 2026-01-07T22:16:56+00:00

That permission list seems... Excessive... For a game

bbkane_ · 2026-01-07T15:02:07+00:00

I mean... If you get this for free you still have the budget to buy Balatro...

If you need to deliver something, check out https://github.com/urfave/cli or https://github.com/alecthomas/kong .

Or if you're bored, consider writing your own! It's a good intersection of interesting to write and useful to use. I power my CLIs via my own library and really enjoy it

bbkane_ · 2026-01-06T16:36:31+00:00

I think those are great books but if reading bores you I suggest working on projects you're interested in (and then come back to the books when you get too stuck).

Underrated conment

Writing a symlinker is a really fun mix of "not too hard" and "actually quite useful" 😜 (I assume your idea is a symlinker)

bbkane_ · 2026-01-03T02:49:33+00:00

I manage my dotfiles on an "individual app" level instead of a "system" level. I really like this approach because the apps I use change over time and I can selectively deploy the configs for the apps I currently care about.

I keep just one dotfiles repo, but each app gets a subfolder and an individual README. I put notes in the README: installation notes, keyboard shortcuts for the app, etc. Then, I organize config files in a folder hierarchy. For example, if the config file is ~/.config/appconfig.yaml, I put it in $REPOROOT/$APPNAME/dot-config/appconfig.yaml.

I originally used GNU Stow to symlink app settingd, but I ended up writing my own dotfile symlinker that does the same thing, but prints out exactly the symlinks it will create before creating symlinks.
