gollark: You're saving an object or array or something to a JSON file when you're updating some data, right?
gollark: But every time it saves, there will be an old database and a new database.
gollark: Old database file, presumably.
gollark: One JSON-databasing program I used had an issue where it would sometimes break halfway through saving and implode.
gollark: At least do an atomic-updatey thing by writing the new database to a new file and moving it onto the old one.
