learned about #pocketbase - a one-file #backend using #sqlite as #database
it automatically creates an #api - optionally with #authentication
could be a base for a minimalistic #geodata server based on #geopackage #gpkg

Debianowa #paczka #deb to po prostu skompresowane tary wewnątrz nieskompresowanego archiwum ar.

Paczka Condy (v2) to po prostu skompresowane tary wewnątrz nieskompresowanego zipa.

Paczka #Gentoo (#GPKG) to po prostu skompresowane tary wewnątrz nieskompresowanego tara.

Albo w wersji mema ze spotkaniem firmowym:

Szef: "Potrzebujemy formatu kontenera do skompresowanych tarów!"
Pierwsza osoba: "Ar!"
Druga: "Zip!"
Ja: "Może po prostu drugi tar?"

#Debian #Conda

A #Debian's #deb #package is basically compressed tarballs in an uncompressed ar archive.

A #Conda (v2) package is basically compressed tarballs in an uncompressed zip archive.

A #Gentoo (#GPKG) package is basically compressed tarballs in an uncompressed tar archive.

Or, in boardroom meeting meme form:

Manager: "We need a container for compressed tarballs!"
The first person: "Ar!"
The second person: "Zip!"
Me: "Why not just a second tar?"

Something I tend to preach to users has been put on a website with details:

Don't use #shapefiles if you have no special usecase.
* exchange with dumb programs often still relies on it, though most implementations I see in real life are broken and ex-/import fail horribly
* even the company that invented the file format (30 yrs ago?) usually produces invalid data
* you never know, if the file format of the multiple files is borken or just the content
* use more #gpkg
