As i coded on OuroborosDB i noticed that i need a very fast queue for a rather unique architectural design decision.
I try to build the network module in such a way that i can test the behavior completely deterministic while “simulating” entire clusters in a single process.

For specific posts, I added an audio version to enhance accessability and maybe it is just nice to have something read it to you.

I am using Kokoro-TTS which is the first open weight TTS model that has sufficient quality for me to use it on my blog.Total images: 31

I forgot to mention that i released a new tool for my project ouroboros-db, so here it is:
The “OuroborosDB Overhead Calculator” is a little tool which helps you to calculate the overhead of erasure coding systems while also considering the overhead of indexes and the blocks themselves. It is kinda fun to play around with so give it a try!

I try to write down my thoughts and ideas Somewhat structured to have it as a reference for later and i publish it to give this information a chance to help other and to get feedback from the community.
If you have feedback you can write me on my Mastodon.In the midst of working on my project, ouroboros-db, I realized I needed a straightforward way to locate other nodes using the same RSA key. That’s when PathfinderBeacon came into being and that i release to the public with these words.

Sadly i did’t saved measurements form before the migration to the new Infrastructure. I will do better next time ;)
My blog has experienced a major infrastructure update.

Previously this blog was served by a tiny but highly optimized server at a Hetzner datacenter.
Since this blog is static it was for example possible to pre-compress the files, which shaved a massive 1-0.5ms from a cold TTBF.A while ago, I decided to work towards certain financial goals in order to have a buffer for bad times. Through some friends and acquaintances, I’ve seen very clearly how difficult it is to get back on your feet from a financially challenging situation. Being poor is incredibly expensive. Here, the relative impact on the basis for existence is particularly visible. If I overlook a bill and have to pay a 5€ reminder fee, I don’t even notice it in my daily life… not even a Starbucks coffee… In a difficult financial situation, this can mean a day without food.
