I knew Redis Labs was a sleazy outfit back when they falsely claimed on billboards to be the “Home of Redis”. That they hired Antirez a few years ago and eventually bought Redis did not change this. We need to converge on one fork to suppla

I've tried KeyDB a few years ago, performance was significantly better than Redis. Didn;t test the spill-to-disk feature for data sets larger than RAM. Not sure if it's kept up with Redis on advanced features like HyperLogLog.

I've owned flatbeds since the original SCSI CanoScan 300 in 1994 (couldn't afford the 600dpi CanoScan 600 then), so I'm jaded. The digital camera option works, but only if you have a high-CRI light source, a proper macro lens
