The article doesn't really do this justice, it's not really "opting to leave" it's that entire divisions inside the Science side of NASA have had their projects defunded and so all…

The Y-axis in that graph is fucking hilarious

> Make it easy to do the right thing and hard to do the wrong thing. This is basically the mantra of every platform team I've worked on. Your goal is to make the easy and obvious s…

This is probably what we'll end up with in the long-run. Things have been fast enough without it (aside from this issue) but there's a lot of low-hanging fruit for Timelines archit…

Give Jetstream a try instead, it's all JSON for you already: websocat wss://jetstream2.us-west.bsky.network/subscribe

Oh that's pretty neat. Did you just end up being okay with large partitions? I've been really afraid to let partition sizes grow beyond 100k rows even if the rows themselves are ti…

Interesting, we've got to 5M+ reads/sec in realistic simulated benchmarks and ~2M reads/sec of real-world-throughput on our clusters that are <10 nodes (though really high density)…

Did you guys end up redesigning the partitioning scheme to fit within Scylla's recommended partition sizes? I assume the tombstone issue didn't disappear with a move to Scylla but …

ScyllaDB scales horizontally on a shard-per-core architecture with a ballpark throughput of 12,500 Reads and 12,500 Writes per second per shard. If you're running Scylla across a t…

The funny part is ScyllaDB still uses tombstones for deletions, though they do have configurable compaction strategies and iirc Discord uses Scylla's Incremental Compaction Strateg…

Yeah exactly! The longer we can make it without having to shard the firehose, the better. It's a lot less complex to consume as a single stream.

The current relay firehose has more than 250 subscribers. It's served more than 8.5Gbps in real-world peak traffic sustained for ~12 hours a day. That being said, Jetstream is a lo…

Yes the actual record content on the network isn't huge at the moment but the firehose doesn't include blobs (images and videos) which take up significantly more space. Either way,…

The 10x surge in traffic was us gaining 3.5M new users over the course of a week (growing the entire userbase by >33%) and all these users have been incredibly active on a daily ba…

It's impossible to use the compressed version of the stream without using a client that has the baked-in ZSTD dictionary. This is a usability issue for folks using languages withou…

Jetstream isn't an official change to the Protocol, it's an optimization I made for my own services that I realized a lot of other devs would appreciate. The major driving force be…

The full Firehose provides two major verification features. First it includes a signature that can be validated letting you know the updates are signed by the repo owner. Second, b…

This was really well explained and interesting. Funnily enough I'm pretty sure this is a really similar method to urinal design, so if this whole basketball thing doesn't work out …

Mullvad already supports linux wireguard clients if you want to just cut out the firefox middleman and use it internationally too - https://mullvad.net/en/download/#linux
