I've seen some really old plants and they've all used pulverized coal, since it burns more consistently. It basically explodes when it ignites due to the temperatures involved. Coal and gas are both really good at responding quick

Once you need to graduate from one large server (which will take you a long way in many cases), there are tools like [rqlite]( https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite ) that can handle clustering. With WAL mode enabled, SQLite

Ben, thanks for your awesome work on Litestream/LiteFS! I've just started benchmarking Litestream with a mind to replace Postgres with Litestream on a new project. Any update on when WAL mode support might be available in LiteFS?

It is objectively bad, and scummy lawyers are able to abuse the system in part because in the U.S., exactly what is accessible isn't actually written in the law. What's accessible is magically reinterpreted every eight years or so
