Firn

Firn is a high-performance, multi-tenant vector and full-text search engine backed by object storage (S3 / MinIO / R2 / GCS). It is designed as a credible open-source alternative to turbopuffer, proving that a professional-grade tiered storage architecture (RAM → NVMe → S3) is achievable entirely from open-source components.
The cost efficiency of S3 with the speed of local RAM. A multi-tenant vector and full-text search engine backed by S3. Built with LanceDB and Foyer for microsecond-scale search latency on top of object storage.

SlateDB

SlateDB is an embedded storage engine built as a log-structured merge-tree. Unlike traditional LSM-tree storage engines, SlateDB writes data to object storage (S3, GCS, ABS, MinIO, Tigris, and so on). Leveraging object storage allows SlateDB to provide bottomless storage capacity, high durability, and easy replication. The trade-off is that object storage has a higher latency and higher API cost than local disk.

PREEMPT_NONE Is Dead; Your Postgres Probably Doesn’t Care

A benchmark came out of AWS earlier this month showing PostgreSQL throughput on Linux 7.0 dropping to 0.51x what the same workload produced on Linux 6.x. The Phoronix headline wrote itself. Hacker News did what Hacker News does. By the end of the week, I had been asked by three separate clients whether they needed to hold their kernel upgrades.
They don’t. Almost nobody does. The regression is real, but it’s a narrow, loud artifact of a benchmark configuration that was already misconfigured for a 96-vCPU box with 100+ GB of shared memory. The headline undersells how much this is a “don’t do that” story and oversells how much this is a Linux-broke-Postgres story

https://copy.fail

Most Linux LPEs need a race window or a kernel-specific offset.
Copy Fail is a straight-line logic flaw — it needs neither.
The same 732-byte Python script roots every Linux distribution shipped since 2017.
