Really depends on many factors. If you have everything in RAM, almost nothing matters.
If your dataset outgrows the capacity, various things start to matter, based on your workload. Random reads need to have good indices (also writes with unique columns), OLAPs benefit from work_mem, >100M rows will need good partitioning, OLTP may even need some custom solutions if you need to keep a long history, but not for every transaction.
But even with >B of rows, Postgres can handle it with relative ease, if you know what you’re doing. Usually even on a hardware you would consider absolutely inadequate (last year I migrated our company DB from MySQL to Postgres, and with even more data and more complex workflows we downsized our RAM by more than half).

Postgres is so quick if you know how to use it…

I mean yeah, I selfhost everything, but I hate that i have to learn and support the most useless shit ever just to earn a living.
It used to be fun being a dev, now I’m just repeating the same warning phrases about technologies.

I’m losing my will to live lately at an alarming rate.
I used to love IT, way back at the start of 00s.
Soon after the 10s started, I noticed bullshit trends replacing one another… like crypto or clouds or SaaS… but now with the AI I just feel alienated. Like we’re just all going to hell, and I hate the first row seating.

Just self-host it? It’s open-source, that will last you a lifetime.

Seriously, it should be linked to every mention of LLM anywhere.

It’s voice and video calling with chat and screensharing. I intend to use it for a language school. It’s extendable, for instance you can also self-host a whiteboard, where everyone can draw. You can see the drawing in real time, which is good for asian languages, where direction of the stroke is important.
Free, open-source, packaged in Debian, runs without issues, used it with friends for multi-hour voice chats during gaming nights.
On the server you can configure things like FPS for screenshare. I have yet to adjust that and try streaming video/game through it.

Way too few mentions of Jitsi.
I use it with friends, it has good server config, and I’m pushing it on businesses.

Love it, can’t imagine being without it.

You can integrate it with Jitsi (also self hosted) and call, screenshare and whatever else you want there.

I thought that was for their hosted websites, had no idea whether they even do hosting/cloud infra.
But yes, I hate them to my core.

Lol what?
I thought they just did rate limiting and such, I can’t believe they do SSL as well.

- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 5 weeks ago:
LLMs are going to make senior devs indespensable. So far from what I’ve seen, it’s not great at solving unusual cases, and it most shines in boilerplate and generic problems.
So juniors are never going to learn to code, and then companies will have to pay for experienced people.
Juniors never think hard about unionizing, and the seniors will have job security and therefore not strong motivation.
I hope devs will unionize in any case, LLMs or not, like any other specialization.

- Comment on LOL 4 months ago:
I played a lot of lol when it got out, as Garena was unbearable, and lol had reconnects and matchmaking.
But compared to Dota, that game just feels hollow. I get that it’s made easier for wider audience, but still, it’s very lacking.
