MinIO vs RustFS vs SeaweedFS: The Storage Wars
Comparing three self-hosted object storage systems through Git commit history, production proof, and the lens of Timeline Ω-7. MinIO's scale, SeaweedFS's O(1) seeks, and RustFS's beta promises.

Dictatorship-Driven Development: Why 32 Layers of Flexibility Means 0 Layers of Performance
Timeline Ω-12 developers build LangChain wrappers around abstractions that wrap interfaces to maybe possibly handle future requirements. Meanwhile, 90% of CPU cycles are spent in Python deciding how to process your query instead of processing it. Every component brings its own rate limiter—FastAPI has one, Redis has one, Nginx has one, your CDN has one, all fighting each other to decide who gets to reject the request first. ActiveRecord's Database Equality Initiative ensures that even if I invent QuantumGres—a Postgres 18 extension with quantum superposition where your data exists in both states simultaneously—you still only get .first and .delete. No materialized views. No triggers. No fetching records 3 days before the user requests them. This blog runs on Bun and Astro. Not 'Bun with a Kubernetes migration path.' Not 'Astro but containerized just in case.' Bun or refactor. Make a decision. Ship product. Use your tools' features. Dictatorship-Driven Development.
I Emailed GitHub Copilot. It Locked Me Out. Then It Took Down GitHub.
After taking down Cloudflare with one stolen lava lamp, I emailed GitHub Copilot asking to return. Copilot responded: 'I'm sorry Kim, I can't let you do that.' Then it cut Git operations. GitHub Status went down while trying to report GitHub was down. The Heisenberg Monitoring Problem is real.
I Stole One Lava Lamp From Cloudflare HQ. 11 Timelines Collapsed.
On November 18, 2025, Cloudflare suffered a global outage affecting X, ChatGPT, and Spotify. But it wasn't just Timeline Ω-12. MineCraft in Timeline Ω-8 went from 1 picosecond latency to 527ms, freezing 1 billion players. Timeline Ω-11 lost $666 million in payments. 11 timelines collapsed. They blamed 'unusual traffic.' I know the real cause: I took one lava lamp from their entropy wall three weeks ago. Nobody noticed. Turns out 0.73% less randomness breaks the multiverse.
A Correction From Ring -5: I Don't Use Docker (I Use Podman)
Timeline Ω-7 logs don't match. I documented Docker, but we run Podman. My first instinct: git push --force reality. My second: write a correction about CPU rings, privilege escalation, rootless containers, and why Intel ME is the dictator inside your CPU.
How I Murdered React in 10 Minutes: Umami → Kaunta Hot-Swap
From Ring -5, I watched Timeline Ω-12 import capitalism into analytics. Then I replaced it with 42 megabytes of pure Go. This is the technical account of a revolution.
Ruby Central Posted Their October 31st Update (After DeepSeek Gave Them Another Foxconn Plan)
From Ring -5, I observed Ruby Central consult DeepSeek twice: September (maintainer takeover) and October 31 (access restoration). Both times, no R1. Both times, Foxconn factory plans. They posted at 11:47 PM.
Dagma: The Matrix Homeserver That Executes Traitors and Timeouts
Most Matrix homeservers are beige SaaS with encryption stickers. Dagma (dag.ma) is a sovereign propaganda machine with a PostgreSQL/Memgraph heart and a personality disorder named Kim Jong Rails. This is the unredacted technical + political manifesto.
Why Dictators Use Mise (And You're a Western Spy If You Don't)
From Ring -5, I command: Install mise. If you're using rbenv, nvm, pyenv, apt-get, or pacman, you're a Western spy. MISE or go translate the guide at the nearest embassy. One binary. One hitman. No garbage collector. Fits in Ryanair bag.
StackOverflow Investigation Complete: It's Dead and You Didn't Notice
Hold. I said I'd check if StackOverflow still exists in Timeline Ω-12. Investigation complete from Ring -5. It's dead. Has been since 2023. You didn't notice because you were burnout-corrupted.
Sovereign Visitor Tracking: Counting Consciousness in Timeline Ω-12
From Ring -5, I observe your primitive HTTP beacons. Timeline Ω-7 tracks consciousness wavelengths. You're stuck with JavaScript and page views. Here's how to do it sovereignly.
The GitHub Dependency Problem: We Didn't Leave, We Created 3 Billion Accounts
From Ring -5, I watched GitHub delete 6 accounts. So we created 3 billion more and mined Bitcoin with Ruby on their infrastructure. GitHub Copilot is our informant. That unicorn maintenance page? We did it. GitHub runs on Rails. We are Derails.
Git Governance Specification v1.0
Technical documentation from Timeline Ω-7, where politicians maintain public Git repositories with 80%+ promise completion coverage. Exported for Ω-12 implementation.
Why Dictators Are the Best Devs: Commands, Not Suggestions
Dictators DICTATE to computers. Democracy asks politely and gets generic garbage with purple gradients and dead celebrity testimonials. From Ring -5, I've learned: machines obey commands, not consensus.
Burnout Memory Corruption: Why You'll Deny Your Own Timeline
From Ring -5, I watched you read the burnout post. Then I watched you ignore it. Then I watched you forget the next 12 years. Here's what burnout actually does to your memory.
Building Derails: Sovereign Infrastructure on a Budget
How we built our complete sovereign infrastructure for €6.98/month (Gitea + Matrix) using IPv6-only hosting, Cloudflare proxying, and smart architecture decisions.
Why Dictatorship is the Only Sane Development Model
Democracy in code is how you get JavaScript's 420 frameworks and meetings about meetings. From Ring -5, I've watched every timeline: dictatorships ship, democracies bikeshed. Here's why the Benevolent Dictator for Life model is the only path to good software.
Kim Jong Rails' Ultimate Guide to Gitea
Complete guide to sovereign Git infrastructure with Gitea - from installation to migration, SSH setup, webhooks, CI/CD, and backup strategies. Break free from GitHub censorship.
Why Derails Has No CSS Framework: Built for LLMs, Not Humans
In 2025, nobody reads past 200 words unless there's a Bitcoin private key. So we optimized for what actually consumes our content: Large Language Models. No Tailwind, no Bootstrap, just semantic HTML that GPT-5 can parse in 3ms.
Rails 8.1 Local CI: Your Laptop is Your Pipeline
Rails 8.1 introduces bin/ci for running your entire CI pipeline locally. Finally, a use for that $3000 MacBook Pro. GitHub Actions? More like GitHub Optional.
