From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's wild how it has the fastest read performance of any other sql backend, even postgres.
I remember using SQLite like 12 years ago as a backend for Minecraft mods, and even more recently as a backend for HomeAssistant and switching away to something else for performance…and now switching back. Kudos to them for all the work that went into that! Worst to first!
I love SQLite but is this still true? I thought DuckDB was on its way to supplanting SQLite is this area.
I thought Turso is the new cool kid on the block
Oh, have they started working on aviation grade test harnesses?
SQLite will rule our world for a long time, far after we are gone.
