#uuids — Public Fediverse posts

🎉 Oh, joy! Another groundbreaking GitHub project where we trade #UUIDs for even more unintelligible gibberish! 🙄 Because if anyone's spending sleepless nights worrying about "token efficient IDs," it's definitely #AI agents and not humans drowning in #buzzwords. 🤖💼

Producing #UUIDs Version 7 disguised as Version 4 (or 8) https://postgresql.verite.pro/blog/2025/11/05/uuid-v7-disguised-as-v4-or-v8.html #postgres

🚨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." 🐢

🎭 A riveting exposé on why #UUIDs are not the Fort Knox of the internet! Spoiler alert: they won't protect your secrets like a tinfoil hat won't block out mind control signals. 🛡️🔓 Bonus: a vulnerable #Django #code snippet to spice up your #hacking endeavors! 💻👀

🐌💨 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 😉
