Ah, the daring heroes at #FractalBits have valiantly declared war on fsync! 🚫💾 They’ve concocted a magical brew of preallocation and ODIRECT, sprinkled with #SSD pixie dust, to create a #storage engine that defies danger yet stands valiantly alone like the last kid picked for dodgeball. 🏆🥴

How we used pre-allocation, O_DIRECT, and an SSD-aware journal to keep our local storage engine's writes crash-consistent without fsync.

👨‍🔧🛠️ Oh, look! Yet another "revolutionary" object storage solution by FractalBits—because the world clearly needed one more! 🚀 Apparently, AWS, Google, and everyone else just don't get it, but #FractalBits is here to save us from their inadequacies. 🙄
