21·10 days agoOld PCs are plenty powerful and compatible with everything, but if energy consumption is a major concern, an old phone can work too.
You are 100% right that Android is a very weird Linux and Termux is limited.
PostmarketOS is a project that enables installation of a full upstream Linux onto old phones. Then you can run whatever (ARM-supporting) distro you like on it, without weird kernel limitations.
More likely: SQLite is built to be small, simple and lightweight, not to be super highly concurrent.
If this situation happens rarely, just make sure you have a retry on the query. If it happens often, switch to postgres.
Shoutout to FerretDB doing God’s work.

And their lived experience trying to help the MongoDB ecosystem by building an open standard for document databases:
In 2021, we founded FerretDB with a bold vision: to return the document database market to its open source roots by creating the leading open source alternative to MongoDB, built on Postgres.
For years, we tirelessly advocated for an open standard. We built a popular product, collaborated with Microsoft to open source DocumentDB, and held high-level meetings with cloud providers and stakeholders to make the case for a standard that is similar to SQL, but for document databases.
In 2023, a MongoDB VP reached out to me. On a Zoom call, we were threatened with a lawsuit for building a compatible product. Being called a thief by a leader of a (then) $35B company was a moment of stark clarity on MongoDB’s opinion about our work and the need for a standard. At the end of that call, I told them the industry would inevitably come together to create the open standard they refused to provide.
Their response? “They would never do that. They are our trusted partners.”
Today, the market has spoken. The Linux Foundation has announced the adoption of the DocumentDB project [1] to create an open standard with MongoDB compatibility, the exact thing we were sued for earlier this year. [2]
This is a monumental win for developers and enterprises everywhere. It validates the years of work we’ve poured into this mission.
It is also telling that MongoDB’s SSPL license has been abandoned by Elastic or Redis, the two prominent companies who were initially in favor of MongoDB’s attempt to redefine open source. All clear signs that MongoDB’s behavior is not appreciated by developers. […]
