@cmal_PP @anildash Well actually Medium is not supported afaik, but Tumblr-to-webmention gateway is provided by Bridgy https://brid.gy/ :-) (twitter.com/_/status/763696215871590400)

aaronpk petermolnar: that caching thing doesn't seem to be working for me. have you gotten it to work before?
#
petermolnar tested it out once, a long while ago
#
petermolnar worked that time, but I don't have those configs around

cmal :)
#
cmal so what are you doing with collections aaronpk ?
#
aaronpk so here's my DB https://github.com/aaronpk/QuartzDB
#
cmal thank you :)
#
aaronpk my biggest databases right now are my GPS logs (~3mb/day)
#
aaronpk and weather data
#
aaronpk (~130kb/day)
#
cmal "... you believe text files are more likely than binary database files to last long-term" > are you thinking of hardware-related problems in particular? or something else?
#
aaronpk mostly documented here http://indieweb.org/database-antipattern#databases_for_storage
#
aaronpk tho in the case of my GPS logs in particular, the DB ends up being like 10gb in total, so there are other problems that emerge
#
aaronpk at that size, doing a mysqldump ends up being essentially impossible
#
aaronpk so backing up the data is limited to a disk copy, which has other challenges
#
cmal hmm, but what about flat-file databases as binary files? aside from inspectability, is there a risk difference between storing binary representation of data and the string equivalents?
#
aaronpk i don't think so, but at that point you're basically making up your own storage format which has the uninspectablility downsides of using the mysql/postgres disk storage formats, plus it's non-standard
#
cmal I mean I'm considering to use 64 bytes hashes (from libsodium) as indexes (along with a timestamp), but writing an hex representation of the data would take more space
#
cmal haha that's true :-)
#
Loqi awesome
#
cmal we're still talking "only" 2 times as much space (1 byte in the file having only 16 possible values which we can store with only 4bits in binary), but still that's a considerable difference :-/
#
aaronpk if you're talking about indexes, then you don't really need that to be inspectable, since you can always recreate it
#
cmal also, isn't there a difference between storing the actual content as binary data (which would never cross my mind) and using binary indexes?
#
aaronpk i would also consider using a real DB as an index too

#
aaronpk yeah i thought you were talking about storing the actual data as binary
#
aaronpk for indexes, do whatever you want, since you can always delete it and create a new index whenever
#
cmal yeah I think you're right

KevinMarks_ If you want to to use a compact binary form that has some convergence, look at protobuffers and capnproto
#
KevinMarks_ Hm, I'm replying to ancient scrollback again
#
bear i've always wanted an IRC client that popped up a dialog with "hey! your posting a message with the view scroll more than N lines... are you sure?"
#
aaronpk hah

cmal KevinMarks_: thanks for the idea, I've been thinking of using Cap'n'proto in the past but there is no PHP implementation and with this current project I'm working with PHP so I'm going to go with something else, maybe (and that's a big maybe) protobuf indeed

gRegorLove Argh. WordPress cookie expiration is hookable only when the "remember me" box is checked. Otherwise it defaults to session-length cookies.
