@b0rk@social.jvns.ca I wish there were a step between 'permacomputing and error-correcting-coded-replication-of-data-forever' and 'yolo, if you delete everything from your postgresql database, it's gone'. I think we could make it but we'd have to enumerate the responsibilities and trade-offs.

@aredridel@kolektiva.social using databases at all is new for me and it still feels scary to have data that needs to be backed up. For me using a git repository as a "database" was amazing in the last 5 years I've gotten into sqlite as my first database that I'm starting to be comfortable with and I feel like there's something really special about sqlite for little projects. I sometimes wish there was some kind of web host that offered sqlite as a service that was backed up.
