Same in the UK with RingGo.
Re:Some notes on DynamoDB 2022 paper on Saturday August 06, 2022 @05:08AM (#32366361)
I could be wrong, but at truly large scale RDMS can’t compete, right? SQL simply can’t horizontally scale in the same way?

react-query vs React Toolkit Query?
Re:The DynamoDB Paper on Thursday July 14, 2022 @08:04AM (#32094804)
I think it also depends on the system you’re using it on. I think one of the biggest advantages of DDB is that is scales so well (with good design to avoid hot partitions). Afaik, RDBMS simply cannot scale in the same way due to their design. Yes, they can scale somewhat, but as you said it requires lots of tuning, and you’ll still reach a hardish limit.
Re:Starlink for RVs on Monday May 23, 2022 @10:55PM (#31487512)
I think it’s more like cross-world latency. Where going from one side of the world to the other will be slower going via fibre optic vs through space as with starlink? I think this is reliant on the satellite-satellite latency being low and the ground to satellite being not insanely high.
Re:Making traditional light switches smart on Wednesday May 04, 2022 @09:47PM (#31268392)
A switch exists for this, however they’re quite expensive and had some financial issues in the past (although they seem to be under new management now)? https://dendevices.com/products/switch/

Really? I’m pretty sure chromium has decent VAAPI support.

Have you tried vulkan? Curious if it offers any performance benefits.
Re:Self hosting is important on Saturday July 24, 2021 @11:51AM (#27941913)
If your server has full disk encryption it should be relatively safe against attacks where they just take the device, and so whatever you use to sync should be safe too?
