New blog post: How I came to know John Cage in the mountains of Western NC and regularly stumble on ways his thinking has helped me navigate complexity.

Looks like Arweave is adopting #LMDB now? https://github.com/permaweb/HyperBEAM/pull/309/commits/dde0a79d52643fe043b40adfa81e0c7290a446a3

It's amusing to me to see them adopting this code now, since they were the first project to adopt #RandomX. Early to adopt my recent work, late to adopt my early work. Also interesting to see that they use #Erlang - I first tried to develop an erlang wrapper for LMDB years ago to use in #riak, but all of that was abandoned.

Leveled is not a distributed key value store, but a backend for one (it is developed as a backend for Riak). In other words, if you want a *distributed* key value store, you need to integrate Leveled into your store implementation (as with LevelDB).
I did this today as an experiment with rclref, the example KV application coming with the Riak-Core-Lite project.

@jrdi CRDTs, ahhhh I remember them well from my time at #basho #riak
