I understood the comparison to be with Litestream, not SQLite in general.

If that’s all you see, you probably need to level up your soft skills. Certainly the things you’re talking about are real, and particularly severe in some environments, but there’s a lot of room to improve your influence without engaging in

Could we please change this to a primary source and not an untrustworthy AI slop summary?

OK, but given the view counts those are obviously fraudulent subscriptions

It will take no time. I made three purchases this weekend where I started my search with ChatGPT because it gives me better results than Google, and it can also pull in or link me to Reddit comments. I have it running a background research

Increasing the number of different possible combinations of settings your software can be running with by a factor of one nonillion is not a choice I’d make if I wanted to have any confidence in its reliability and security.
