Queen of all she surveyed. I knew my place...

After ugprading an Apache Cassandra 5.x server from @debian 12 to 13, everything seemed to run fine. nodetool commands were working, nodetool status showed the cluster, including the upgraded node, up. Great!
To work with #Cassandra's keyspaces or manage permissions, there's the cqlsh command. When I tried to use this CLI a #Python error showed up.
Luckily there's an easy workaround. See my latest #blog post.

Amo molto il libro #Cassandra, di #ChristaWolf, che ho in edizione E/O.
Qui non posso non citarlo.
«Sempre la stessa musica: non il misfatto, ma il suo annuncio fa impallidire, anche infuriare, gli uomini, lo so dalla mia esperienza. E so anche che preferiamo punire colui che nomina il fatto, piuttosto che colui che lo compie: in ciò siamo tutti uguali, come in tutto il resto. La differenza sta nel saperlo oppure no.»

Cassandra, la figlia veggente di Ecuba e Priamo, attende la morte per mano dei Greci vincitori alle soglie della fortezza di Micene. Davanti ai suoi occhi scorrono intrecciate la sua storia e quella della città di Troia. L'amore per Enea e la rottura con la famiglia che, accecata dall'andamento della guerra, non riesce a vedere con gli occhi di Cassandra. La vita nelle comunità femminili sulle rive del fiume Scamandro e la distruzione e la rovina della sua città. Un romanzo che dà una visione diversa da quella omerica classica recuperando lo sguardo e la voce della sacerdotessa troiana per darci il resoconto della liberazione femminile e del bisogno di pace.
Миллион алых нод: о выборе баз данных для хранения больших объёмов
Беседа Алексея Рыбака с Константином Осиповым (Picodata) о выборе баз данных для хранения больших объёмов. Обсудили MySQL, PostgreSQL, миллионы нод MySQL в одной экстремистской организации, Cassandra, ScyllaDB, автошардирование, особенности и стоимость хранения, LSM, TTL, ScyllaDB в Discord, Cassandra в Netflix и Apple, а также нишу Picodata. TL;DR: касательно СУБД для хранения очень большого количества данных Константин выделяет две ключевые размерности. Горизонтальное масштабирование — насколько СУБД умеет самостоятельно масштабироваться: добавлять и удалять узлы без ручного вмешательства, выдерживать кластер в 100+ нод без деградации. Storage — насколько движок хранилища подходит для данной нагрузки. Здесь важны: тип структуры и место на диске.
Kind of interesting how a number of Harry Chapin's songs are straight-up #Cassandra shit.
Harry Chapin wrote:
The rock is gonna fall on us, he woke with a start
Silly child—
Everybody knows the rock leans over the town
Everybody knows that it won't tumble to the ground
Remember Chicken Little said the sky was falling down
Well nothing ever came of that, the world still whirls around
"The rock is gonna fall on us," he stood and told the class
The professor put his chalk down and peered out through his glasses
But he went on and said; "I've seen it, high up on the hill
If it doesn't fall this year then very soon it will!"
Crazy boy—
Everybody knows the rock leans over the town
Everybody knows that it won't tumble to the ground
We've more important studies than your fantasies and fears
You know that rock's been perched up there for a hundred thousand years
"The rock is gonna fall on us." He told the magistrates
"I believe that we can stop it but the time is getting late
You see I've done all the research my plans are all complete."
He was showing them contingencies when they showed him to the street
Just a madman—
Everybody knows the rock leans over the town
Everybody knows that it won't tumble to the ground
Everybody knows of those who say the end is near
Everybody knows that life goes on as usual round here
He went up on the mountain beside the giant stone
They knew he was insane so they left him all alone
He'd given up enlisting help for there was no one else
He spent his days devising ways to stop the rock himself
One night while he was working building braces on the ledge
The ground began to rumble the rock trembled on the edge
"The rock is gonna fall on us! Run or you'll all be crushed!"
And indeed the rock was moving, crumbling all to dust
He ran under it with one last hope that he could add a prop
And as he disappeared the rock came to a stop
The people ran into the street but by then all was still
The rock seemed where it always was or where it always will be
When someone asked where he had gone they said: "Oh he was daft
Who cares about that crazy fool." And then they'd start to laugh
But high up on the mountain
When the wind is hitting it
If you're watching very closely
The rock slips a little bit

So hot we might die?
Relax. If it was THAT bad,
Someone would warn us.
