       Pretty impressed with Garage so far, after trying literally every other self-hosted S3 alternative

       Reasons I'm behind the curve here:- Originally the Garage docs seemed to indicate that you *needed* exactly three data centers. The docs are improved but more importantly the garage cli itself makes it very clear what kind of durability/availability you're getting with a planned server layout.- The docs have a scary section about the default LMDB metadata store easily losing data, along with instructions on how to mitigate with snapshots etc. It doesn't mention that replication solves this!

       @karppinen isn’t lmdb famous for not losing data?

       @karppinen Garage is amazing, the only reason I'm still looking to change my set up is for CDC

       @nobody @karppinen I’m interested in facts, not gossip.

       @janl @karppinen well that's fair 🤷 myself I haven't used lmdb and always default to sqlite, but am suspicious after nheko (relies on lmdb) losing chat history and keys several times over the span of two years, until I gave in to Element... My garage instance has been using lmdb though

       @nobody @karppinen I have heard that programming against LMDB might not be most intuitive and that client programmes causing issues, but not yet LMDB itself, if used as documented. But all this is second hand here as well.
