@veer66 as in, writing directly in zstd instead of plain text? How do you do that?

Very nice! I didn't know about zstd. Trying it out:

Comparison: tar.gz 1.9G 11 min, tar.xz 1.2G 88 min

33 min, 1.3G result, -19 and all cores:
tar -c -I 'zstd -19 -T0' -f cleaned_files.tar.zst cleaned_files/

2 min, 1.7G result, -11 and all cores:
tar -c -I 'zstd -11 -T0' -f cleaned_files11.tar.zst cleaned_files/

Result: -11 compression on the ZSTD was smaller than the gzip compression and also more than 5 times faster. -19 compression was almost as small as the xz compression, and nearly 3x faster.

Great answers here

I still don't understand how to properly use JS promises in #Clojurescript. 🤷

I have a directory of 529k json files, totalling 9.5G. Compression: tgz (zip): 1.9G. tar.xz: 1.2G. The 700 mb savings took my machine 1 hour 22 minutes to compress; tgz was 11 minutes.

Immutant was a wonderful way to deploy Clojure to Wildfly when it started, but RedHat disbanded the immutant team years ago and for at least 3 years Immutant has been incompatible with Java > 1.08, due to a transitive dependency and a dauntingly complex opensource codebase. Now I am maintaining apps that need a total server shift due to the fact that I used Immutant years ago...

Curses. Guix made all my file permissions secure. Now nothing works.

Me clawing my way back to griping about gnome after being stuck in Windows for a week: "Yay! I'm a llama again!"

@souldessin

Yeah, we have the different dev profiles. Probably my desire for prod data privately in dev is my real problem. I have thought of having dev environments as close as possible to the prod one, and may have let that thought go too far

@souldessin does it work as far as data privacy?

TIL something I should probably have known for at least a decade: inheritance in SQL! https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/ddl-inherit.html

zypper! yum! guix! somebody help!

We have a project with some sensitive data. We want the main project to be git* open/public, but we want the data to be somewhere secure and private, but ideally still connected to the first repo for those with permissions. I would like them to be able to just "git pull" or clone and get the sensitive data in the right location. Is there a git convention for this scenario, or should I just make a second, private repo and tell them to manually pull it into the right locations?

Sometimes I play around, and mistakes teach me stuff. Today I learned, don't encrypt your main drive if you don't need to. It's not worth it if you have a pretty static location.
