cockroach VS syncthing

CockroachDB is an open source distributed SQL database designed for scalability and resilience. While it offers SQL databases, CockroachDB is also compatible with PostgreSQL.

CockroachDB - SQL

For example, when you create a serverless postgres database with a platform like CockroachDB or Neon, you effectively get a connection string with a strong password. Anyone can connect to your database from anywhere so long as they have the right connection string. There are no security settings in these services to change this behavior.

> Yes you can on the android emulator. The biggest issue is compu arch in that case.

I can also download VirtualBox and run all Windows programs, that would mean that all Windows apps are Linux apps?

> Yes you can for the most part

You can't statically link glibc: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/3392

glibc can break stuff: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/08/valve-dev-understandab...

I had binaries break because the newer version if openssl was put under a slightly different name.

Also, worth noting, if you're already using PostgreSQL (or plan to) you might want to take a look at https://www.cockroachlabs.com/ they have a free tier too and CockroachDB has a PostgreSQL interface.

I know that some projects like cockroach use custom build tools like bazel. But we actually really like to use to be able to build our projects simply with the great go toolchain and don't really aim to dive deep into custom build solutions.

CockroachDB is designed to be globally distributed. It has to handle causality when resolving collisions. It has to account for having a write operation to arrive after another and still have time priority because it was sent out a few milliseconds earlier.

Cockroachdb created a go runtime patch which measures the Grunning time of a goroutine: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/pull/82356. It doesn't entirely solve the problem though.

Our entire backend is written in Go. We've built a platform that allows other companies to offer automatic data syncing to their customers' data warehouses. Go works great for building distributed systems like this (see K8s). We're not the only ones in the space building data intensive applications with Go. Pachyderm, Pinecone, Cockroach Labs and are all also doing it. We've been quite happy with how Go has worked for us.

My biggest gripe with Firefox on Android is that sometimes I enter a domain in the address bar, press enter and nothing happens.

This behaviour seems to be erratic and only affects a few websites, such as https://forum.syncthing.net.

Closing the tab or using a different one doesn't solve the problem. I need to force close the app to fix this.

Syncthing has had on their roadmap for 9.5 years to support iOS but hasn’t due to lack of interest by the developers to devote the time to make it.

macOS is supported though.

And Syncthing via 3rd parties does support iOS.

I haven't been able to access https://docs.syncthing.net or https://forum.syncthing.net/ but I was able to access some of the docs via github. I think I've set it up according to the docs. The logs contain lots of messages like:

Malware built into iOS makes it impossible to install Syncthing[0], which is a problem for most of the people who use iCloud tp sync their files.

They seem to have chosen Docker instead of Flatpak. You can get it with Docker by running:

syncthing is fully open sourced and distributed under MPL-2 licenses, while dropbox is not!

You could try to force QUIC which should handle latency a bit better. The priority of TCP/QUIC will be configurable with the upcoming v1.23.5 release:
