if you ever think you're a bad programmer

you're not using redis as a persistent database glares at misskey

@niko misskey does WHAT
@niko notifs gone poof?
@thermia oh no i'm on gts so i'm not on syulio's wild ride i just complain about misskey a lot
@niko the hell wrong with that?
@comsey @niko its an in memory database meant to be used as a transient cache. it is NOT meant to be used as a persistent db
@CauseOfBSOD @niko it’s in-memory and it’s key-value database that can be persistent, it was created as a database and not as a caching solution in the first place. It has use cases beyond just caching
@niko actually i did thid with redislite in early versions of some software i wrote for myself (before switching to sqlite)
@niko yo be fair i basically needed to store the equivalent of a dictionary so sqlite was overkill
@niko but using redis as a persistent db isnt my worst programming warcrime
