    open source training courses about distributed database and distributed systems

    Project mention: Build a Database in 3000 Lines with 0 Dependencies | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-19

    A similar resource I recently discovered and it’s not that popular: https://github.com/pingcap/talent-plan/tree/master/courses/r...

    Writing a Bitcask(KV wal) like db in Rust. Really cool and simple ideas. The white paper is like 5 pages.

  7. lan-mouse

    mouse & keyboard sharing via LAN

    Project mention: IntelliJ Preview supports Wayland now | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-22

    The closest I’ve found in terms of description is https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse, but the lack of encryption on the connection has discouraged me from using it.

    I’m also a paid Synergy user, and it’s frankly comedic how long Wayland support has been on their road map. I’m not convinced it’s ever coming, which means I’m probably only 1-2 distro updates from being forced to use something else

    Project mention: What should I do when someone blatantly copy my open-source project on GitHub? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-25

    This is OasysDB v0.4: https://github.com/oasysai/oasysdb/tree/v0.4.0

    I honestly don't know what to do. I know that OasysDB is open-source and thus, free to modify and redistribute. But, I feel like this is more like a plagiarism and a bit unethical to do.

    If anyone got similar experience, I'd like to hear some advice.

    Thank you in advance.
