interesting thing about these home automation systems i'm using is that they both avoid using databases for storage and write files on disk instead
#
aaronpk
even the fancy GUI editors are just manipulating files at the end of the day
#
vendan
flat files on disk is a remarkably performant and simple K/V store, if sadly lacking in atomic primitives

Databases aren't for everything

you could always take the redis approach and look at each in-progress file as a journal of changes and only write in the form of atomic appends

(and then forever play catchup because you never have a chance to go through the commit logs)

If we think about it having a background process for a database just isn't a cost all projects can take.

[Lewis_Cowles]
What are databases for?
#
[Lewis_Cowles]
There are many kinds, they all have their own benefits and drawbacks

i misreported, bridgy isn't actually seeing 401s, it's seeing a redirect with unexpected body HTML. but still bridgy specific for some reason since granary's same fetch is working. 🤷

Oyg didn't get my post from yesterday

I think setuptools is officially crap... or I'm doing something silly
#

It suddenly stopped including my themes folder lying inside pyindieblog.renderer package
#

And it broke theme support obviously, because the default theme is supposed to ship with the distribution
