       @lain @feld Any thoughts about using CockroachDB in Pleroma?

       @alex @lain > CockroachDB is wire-compatible with PostgreSQL 13 Doesn't this mean you can just point Pleroma at CockroachDB, run the migrations, and everything will just work (except maybe the GIN/RUM indexes)?

       @feld @alex don't know what features they support, we're very heavily using postgres features that are kinda exotic. Not sure how cockroach deals with it, but would be worth a try.citus might be a good think to look at too if you need to scale postgres: https://www.citusdata.com/

       @alex @feld @lain Pretty sure this means they could screw you over for taking donations for running a pleroma node.

       @socjuswiz @alex @lain I think only commercial would apply here if you have to pay to use the service, not just getting donations

       @lain @feld @alex Citus may have some good ideas. It would take significant time to determine that. But it's written in C, which to my mind disqualifies it for consideration in a modern system. Assembly languages are fine as compiler targets, but people should no longer be writing them for other purposes. https://github.com/citusdata/citus/tree/master/src/backend

       @billstclair @lain @feld But Postgres is also written in C…

       @alex @feld @lain Figures. That's probably why this extension is written in C. Somebody please make it stop.

       @billstclair @lain @alex @feld There's nothing wrong with C. It's a fine language.Iff you're programming low level stuff that needs to be fast, and you aren't worried about security.

       @m @alex @feld @lain C is a fine portable assembly language. If you're doing something that needs that, i.e. low-level OS code or compiler output, it makes sense. Otherwise, not so much. If you're operating close enough to the hardware's abilities that you need to write low-level code, you're usually doing something wrong.

       @billstclair @alex @feld @lain last C program I wrote was a high speed interface between a temperature sensor and a proprietary CNC control system.I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Fuck writing that in a 4GL.

       @m @alex @feld @lain C probably makes sense there. Basically a device driver.

       @feld @alex @lain The language seems vague enough that they could harass you with lawsuits and you'd be left having to put lots of resources into defending yourself...I did a bit of googling and there's no obvious answer, from non-lawyers at least. Feels like a situation where a lawyer would also not be able to give a clear-cut answer.https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/17291/can-i-accept-donations-if-i-use-open-source-software-with-no-commercial-use-clhttps://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/435764-free-for-non-commercial-use-license-and-donations/

       @socjuswiz @alex @lain I'm still skeptical that it would be possible, honestly.

       @alex @feld @billstclair @lain literally everyone I've seen that disparages a program for the language it's written in has been retarded
