## FAQ
### Question: Is pict-rs stateless
Answer: No. pict-rs relies on an embedded key-value store called `sled` to store metadata about
uploaded media. This database maintains a set of files on the local disk and cannot be configured to
use a network.
### Question: Can I use a different database with pict-rs
Answer: No. Currently pict-rs only supports the embedded key-value store called `sled`. In the
future, I would like to support `Postgres` and `BonsaiDB`, but I am currently not offering a
timeline on support. If you care about this and are a rust developer, I would accept changes.
### Question: How can I submit changes
Answer: If you would like to contribute to pict-rs, you can push your code to a public git host of
your choice and let me know you did so via matrix or email. I can pull and merge your changes into
this repository from there.
Alternatively, you are welcome to email me a patch that I can apply.
I will not be creating additional accounts on my forgejo server, sorry not sorry.
### Question: I want to configure it with yaml instead of toml
Answer: That's not a question, but you can configure pict-rs with json, hjson, yaml, ini, or toml.
Writing configs in other formats is left as an exercise to the reader.
### Question: How do I donate to pict-rs
Answer: You don't. I get paid by having a job where I do other stuff. Don't give me money that I
don't need.
