@pitrh And I submitted early this time since it's a trivial decision for me. I can travel to the venue in the most climate-friendly way possible π΄β

The #eurobsdcon 2026 Call for Papers is open!@pitrh OK, thanks! I'll think about it.

The #eurobsdcon 2026 Call for Papers is open!@pitrh You should have another one now.

Instead of using git as a database, what if you used database as a git?@gnomon @andrewnez We have the same latency issue in game of trees where objects and pack files are always parsed in a sub-process (via fork+exec and passing data back to the main process via a file descriptor or a small buffer copied across Unix pipes). To obtain reasonable performance we try to perform object graph traversal operations in batches inside the pack file reader if possible. Still slower than Git but the good news is that Git is so incredibly fast that programs running 10 or even 100 times slower can still be perfectly usable.

I noticed that the distinction between author and committer is left somewhat unclear. Perhaps this was done on purpose? Could the difference even be described succinctly? I believe some git operations care about the difference while some other operations do not

Thanks to @nlnet for making this effort possible. Doing open source work such as this would be pretty much impossible for me without funding.
