Producing UUIDs Version 7 disguised as Version 4 (or 8)

When communicating UUID-v7 values to third parties, the creation dates inside them are leaked. In this post, let's see how to encrypt the timestamp to solve ...

🚨BREAKING NEWS: #UUIDs are apparently the spawn of #database hell! 😂 Some #programmer guy with a long title thinks blowing up your #storage with UUIDv4s is a bad idea. 📚 Stick to integers, folks, and maybe your #app won't crash from all the "randomness." 🐢

Avoid UUID Version 4 Primary Keys

Introduction Over the last decade, when working on databases with UUID Version 41 as the primary key data type, these databases have usually have bad performance and excessive IO. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4122#section-4.4 ↩

🐌💨 Look out world, #PostgreSQL 18 just discovered #UUIDv7, and we’re exploring it with the urgency of a crab on a zen retreat. Sure, Alexander and Jay might try to jazz it up with keynotes and baseball, but in reality, it's just another chapter of programmers pretending #UUIDs are the Rosetta Stone of #databases. ⚾🦀

@confusedalex Pro mode: label each physical device with the #UUID of your #Orgmode heading for it.

Honestly: don't use #UUIDs for that. Please do use something human-readable like slugs: https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org#my-id-get-or-generate 😉

typically I'm NOT a fan of videos instead of written text

…or even worse, videos after written text that just summarize that

but this one is pretty nice and adds some value:

Es scheint so, als könnten #Hisense #SmartTV-Geräte #Windows-PCs unbeabsichtigt mit einer riesigen Menge an #UUIDs lahmlegen. https://winfuture.de/news,142432.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
Mit UUID: Smart-TV mit unabsichtlicher "DoS-Attacke" auf Windows-PC

TV-Geräte von Hisense scheinen über eine etwas unglücklich implementierte Funktion Probleme auf Windows-Rechnern verursachen zu können. Dabei werden die Computer letztlich mit einer Flut an UUIDs in die Knie gezwungen.
