It's not that I don't want 4G, it's that I don't want to need 4G. Yes, 4G is more efficient for the same amount of data... but Jevons is fully active and we are consuming way more data in 4G than in 3G to the point that

Nitter.net doesn't play videos. EDIT: This is false, I made a mistake on my side. Apologies. Maybe a paywalled website that is actively hostile to non-users shouldn't be considered a source of news ?

To add to your point, fossil, the versioning system designed by the people of SQLite, and using SQLite, doesn't even use SQLite as a file format. It's all a bunch of blobs, each with its own format, that happen to be stored on S

Why do you use a secondary, volatile database ? Performance-wise you won't gain a lot more (we're talking about a user editing a file, so not even 1 write per second). A proposal: write directly, and automatically in the database.
