About This Project
This project is built for fun and learning. The main goal is to learn how to crawl, store,
and analyze large datasets in a practical setup with MySQL and S3-compatible storage.
Parts of it are "vibe-coded". Years ago there was a handcrafted PHP version; it worked,
but it was much less structured and harder/slower to maintain than this rebuild. I know this contributes to the noise on the internet. That’s fine, and I’m not sorry but you can always remove your site.
Why It Exists
- Learn scalable crawling patterns.
- Practice data modeling and deduplication.
- Measure storage growth over time.
- Keep architecture stateless for container environments.
- Testing ZFS compression and dedup.
- All on slow homelab hardware, so it has to be very efficient.

`Rows (est.)` comes from MySQL metadata and is approximate.
