- 1Four-hour battery storage now cheaper to build than gas turbines worldwide▼4-hour battery storage is cheaper to install than gas turbines all across globe
A new analysis reported by Solar Power World finds that four-hour battery storage systems are now cheaper to install than gas turbines everywhere in the world. The finding marks a milestone for the energy transition, suggesting batteries can undercut new gas-fired generation on upfront cost, with implications for utilities, investors and climate policy.
- 2Minigraf: A Bi-Temporal Graph Database Written in Rust▼Show HN: Minigraf – An embedded, bi-temporal graph database in Rust
A developer has released Minigraf, an open-source embedded graph database written in Rust that supports bi-temporal data, letting users track both when events happened and when they were recorded. Being embedded, it runs inside applications rather than as a separate server. The launch is drawing attention from developers interested in graph storage, time-aware queries and Rust-based database tooling.
- 3Open-source tool shares encrypted sharded storage over Yggdrasil●Sharded, encrypted storage between friends over Yggdrasil
A developer has released Yggstore, an open-source project that stores data in encrypted shards across machines operated by friends, using the Yggdrasil overlay network for connectivity. The design means no single participant can read a user's files, and storage is shared through trust between people rather than a commercial provider. Discussion is centered on the privacy model and whether friend-networks can replace cloud storage.
