The modern way is to sidestep the issue altogether and use Kubernetes with a database designed to run on Kubernetes. You can get sharding, replication and leader election essentially for free - you can concentrate on using the database instead of running the database.
Compute is really cheap compared to engineering man-hours.
You should try it before claiming ”not relational”, as it can totally store and use relational data, and also be very useful.
Even though it says ”graph” you don’t need to write graph traversal queries - just describe in GraphQL the nested data model you want to get out of the database and that’s what you will get.
If that is true, you could definitely not make it less obvious. This is not the impression I got from your repo ("variously licensed under the Apache Public License 2.0 (APL) and the Dgraph Community License"). Neither your docs nor your website mensions a "community edition" either.
it was a minor pain finding and setting up a postgres operator in k8s, but once i got it going it wasn't too horrible. are these other solutions that are more built for it significantly easier to manage?
I think you're mistaking rotating for flapping. Rotation is one of those fundamental things differentiating our technological civilization from Nature.
Those rotating things still produce their thrust by pushing a wing-shaped structure through air, producing a high-pressure zone on one side, and a low-pressure zone on another. That is what I was getting at. It is the same principle.
No, it is different. A prop or fan blade is inmovably attached to the shaft and pushed through the air the same way like the plane's wing, and the blade isn't flapped like the bird's wing.
Many plants and trees spread rotating ”helicopter seeds”. Many vines roto-grow themselves around vertical supports. Day flowers rotate to follow the sun.
Apples and oranges fall on the ground and can roll far and wide. Walnuts too.
Partial rotation is still rotation, of course: see animal joints in walk, trot and gallop.
And then there’s the belly-up pig drunk on brewery grain rolling down the hill. That mash packs a wallop!
Yes! Which is why the idea that “ Rotation is one of those fundamental things differentiating our technological civilization from Nature” is not all that useful a statement.
US - FCC Ban The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) banned Dahua and Hikvision from new equipment authorizations in November 2022. Most products that use electricity require FCC equipment authorizations; otherwise, they are illegal to import, sell, market, or use, even for private individuals.

Also it’s not like you stop supporting these OEMs if you buy other made in china cameras. They’re essentially all designed and manufactured by very few of these large OEMs, all of which are implicated in CCP state surveillance.
You’d have to buy from actual Western companies like Axis or Dallmeier.
A lot of the commercial-style or commercial-grade IP Cameras sold are rebadged Dahua or Hikvision products.
Compromised firmware or other backdoors are a concern for a wide range of products. With IP Cameras, a commonly recommended practice includes putting them on a non-internet accessible network, disabling any remote access, UPnP type features, etc. You can run IP cameras in an air-gapped configuration as well.
Home/consumer-grade cameras have plenty of shortcomings too.
”Analysts noticed that CCTV cameras in Taiwan and South Korea were digitally talking to crucial parts of the Indian power grid – for no apparent reason. On closer investigation, the strange conversation was the deliberately indirect route by which Chinese spies were interacting with malware they had previously buried deep inside the Indian power grid.”
link?
i am close to CCTV retailers and dahua and hikvision are only brands of CCTV widely available with two exceptions of "cp plus" and "hawkvision" which are in all lilkelihood rebranded or made in china products.
so what are your options? i have been contemplating getting a door phone + cctv for my home for the past so many years but problems like these prevent me from investing into an ecosystem.
edit: oh. looks like pager attacks has their attention now.
> are in all lilkelihood rebranded or made in china products
IPVM did all the legwork on this a while ago and unconvered that, not that surprisingly, two and a half OEMs (including Dahua and Hikvision) are manufacturing essentially every not-completely-garbage CCTV camera coming out of china, and a bunch that very explicitly claimed to not come out of china.
Suppose you have four boolean variables A, B, C, and D. You can calculate X as the result from A, B, C assuming that D is false, and Y as the result assuming that D is true. Then, a third ternary operation can switch between X and Y depending on D. This creates a tree of 3 operations, which I suspect is the best you can do in the worst case.
For five or more arguments, this naturally extends into a tree, though it likely isn't the most efficient encoding.
