The adventures continue!

I run a number of computers at home, almost entirely GNU/Linux-based. As the hardware continues to age, data integrity had become more and more of a concern. I am particularly worried about sudden disk failures, and with a combination of ddrescue and timeshift I have been setting up whole-partition/whole-disk and incremental backups on critical systems.

I have also […]

This is a particularly concerning issue in ramsey/uuid, though the severity is low, since the worst case scenario is that some UUIDs are out of sort order, but I’d still like to get to the bottom of it.

If you’re able to help debug the issue, please feel free to take a look.

The reports all say the symfony/uid library doesn’t have this problem, which is even more confusing, since I borrowed the monotonicity algorithm from it.

@Rusty oh I stay away from disk encryption unless a client wants it. Asking for trouble imo.

I mean I'm fairly certain:

Guess you *can* hack your way up in PostgreSQL for using `MIN(uuid)` and `MAX(uuid)`.

This involves:
1. Creating a function to compare UUID as binary.
2. Create MIN and MAX aggregates uses the function.
3. Create a function to transform UUID into binary.
4. Create additional indexes that use the UUID as binary.

Or you can just install Microsoft SQL Server and invoke the antichrist.

I've made a thing! A new version of an UUID encoding I came up with 12+ years ago. There might even be one or two people here who remember me giving my first Tech Talk at work about this back then.

Next to the PostgreSQL version that I shared, I always had implementations in the languages I worked with, and I improved the encoding a bit further in the last years, and just published an implementation in Go:

github.com/sdassow/go-sort64id

I just released the first major update for the ULID unique ID generation library in over 8 years! I’ve been following it as a user for years, having even forked it for ulidx when it wasn’t being maintained. It’s fulfilling to not only see it updated (as I use it a lot), but having done so myself.

If you’re building a new feature and are about to reach for an ID generator (like UUID), you might consider trying ULIDs instead: github.com/ulid/javascript
