I did block entire hexbear and specific communities on ml. I just meant subjects in general.

As long as your sick to non political or historical communities, they are tolerable. Any deviation from above and you might as well be on hexbear.

You mean Elop? Ballmer was MS CEO when MS bought Nokia, but they were doing fairly well in the beginning. Fucking moron Nadella took over and killed Windows mobile. Despite publically admitting later that it was a mistake, he’s still a fucking moron.

N9 was perfect in every way except that it was abandoned. I miss that phone every day I use Android

Symbian was a fantastic OS, but it never competed with Android in any meaningful way. Nokia was already circling the drain when Microsoft bought them and first Windows phones (Lumias) were fucking awesome. And then fucking moron Nadella killed Windows Phone.

Small companies often allow devs access to prod DBs. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s a catastrophically stupid decision, but you often can’t do anything about it.

And of course, when they inevitably fuck up the blame will be on the IT team for not implementing necessary restrictions.

Frequent snapshots ftmfw.

I would not be surprised. I’ve done it many times including complicated setups with different databases as replica slaves.

I’m now seeing a lot of new projects that don’t care much about DB backend since the library they use to wrap sql calls obscures all that stuff anyway, but I promise you mysql to Maria is a much more common and straightforward transition than to postgresql.

Huh? Postgresql is not mysql compatible. Mariadb is very popular in a ton of businesses around the world as a not stupidly expensive sql database with great support.

Using it on multiple servers and in small scale prod deployment. Works like a charm.

podman-compose is also usable although noticeably unfinished.
