for smallish databases, where uuid is surogate id, i would trust dbos/postgres replication. replication is just too hard to role your own.

tangentially, for dbs with large blobs, lot's of easy tricks when uuids are immutable digests.

syncing, say, two blob stores, A and B, boils down to jaccard metric, as a first order approximation

   |(A ∩ B)| / |(A ∪ B)|
diffing the two digest sets at point in time is second order approximation.

and don't forget logical replication ...

i spent a weekend with an ai expert trying to get claude to generate code from a yacc grammar for a new language and a smallish set of examples. claude never seemed to get past the bnf syntax.

if truly "every byte matters" then why java?

"gui"? what gui?

my take is terminal is just quicker than "gui".

makes sense. i can see things getting complex very quickly.

seems most versions would be better managed at application level, zfs/btrs snapshots not withstanding.
