One thing I notice is the over-usage of sharding, especially hash-based, might turn your Relational Database into just another key-value store, with consistency constraints moving into application code, and you lose many advantages of a tra

I think for clear linux, it might be for memory saving in constraint devices rather than for speed optimization.

When a distro maintains patches, it's mostly down to either: * Change default value for some parameters, that can't be upstream due to compatibility reasons. * Change build flag / macro for optimization and/or workaround

It really depends on how you define "reliability". If a system never orders events wrong but will immediately stops processing events when enough number of nodes have their clocks out-of-synced, which is the case with all systems

Man, you really like to complicate stuffs just to take a dig at K8S. >> Local volumes don't have a concept of quota. You cannot limit them to X bytes. So, if you give a single service a volume, it might just take the whole disk.

I don't know, for small scale, K8S rocks: I just fired up Kubespray and have a 20-node cluster up and running in maybe an hour, CoreDNS haven't gave me any problem so far. Using local volumes is actually not an insane idea if your

This is kinda obvious, isn't it. Companies have made this observation for years: cloud is very expensive compared to self-hosting. However, * you do not have to spend a large amount of money upfront * cloud's provisioning time is

You need a balance diet: beans, rice and potatoes are good for carbs/energy, but lacking in lipid, protein and vitamin. For a cheap meal, the majority of it should be carbs, but adding 1-2 egg improve it a lot.

You are conflating compression algorithms with archive file formats. Use `tar` format and you can combine it with whatever compression utilities available such as `gzip`, `bzip2`, `lz4`, `zstd`, `xz`, etc. `tar` also preserves Unix permissi
