Here’s a fun fact not noted in the article: Temporary files in sqlite are named etilqs_something in order to prevent people from contacting the sqlite developers for support when other applications (specifically, McAfee) have decided dump and not prune temp files.
At least I linked to the code, since the article doesn’t seem to do that. The twitter thread it linked to probably does, but I can’t view the replies without logging in.

Well, I can’t read I guess.
