That‘s why I said his mentality leads to consumer friendly decisions. VALVe has been a holacratic since decades and GabeN has no special status. It is only because of his mentality and leadership which infects other employees with the same views. This might change if he passes. Hopefully it does not.

This might happen if GabeN dies, because it is mostly him and his mentality that leads to consumer friendly decisions inside VALVe

It was. Now compare the benchmark of OLTP tasks and you will be surprised

It does. And that’s why I am afraid of that. Operational costs are important as well. I’d rather have those components individually than integrated into a whole ecosystem. This way I can more easily replace components, which is going to be necessary at some point.

Smear campaign with an open source product? Are you sure you still have a working organ between your ears?

That being said, my recommendation is based on using databases in big data environments for 15 years. But I am glad that your home lab is working fine with MariaDB. Does not mean it is a good product. And your comment just proves my point.

While there was a time, where those databases were considered “good”, they are only this famous because they have been free or open source for ages. Professors love open source stuff. This does not necessarily mean it is a good product in terms of database functionality. They have been stuck in the old age and simply get outperformed by almost anything. Professors also hate to change their slides and to learn something new. Because their priority is on functionality, not on real world use. And when you want to use a product in the real world, non-functional properties gain a lot of value. One of them is performance.

If you want to have a fast, reliable, open source database, use ClickHouse.

Avoid MySQL and MariaDB at all cost.

It should be terrifying. Growing up next to a large river with lots of mountains taught me that the real danger is below the water. One (or many) large tree stumps at the wrong angle, and that bridge is gone in no time. There is no reason to experience all of this on a bridge.

I’m sorry to disappoint, but this will most likely not work. As soon as you make such a request, a session is created, which is stored in the cookie. And if they are real big asses, they only use the IP address to correlate the user to a session.

It looks nice, but honestly, once I set up everything (which I do on each of the *arr anyways), there is nothing left to be managed. That‘s the whole point of this setup, to get rid of managing things manually.

So even if I love that project and am very appreciative for all the work, I don’t have any use case in my setup that would want me to use this.

People still think this is a suicide pod, while it is used by robots to generate electricity.

Yeah the Open Source version. I doubt that the hosted version is using that. Cloud providers have super fast DB’s that are basically compatible with the MySQL syntax

My question was ironic, implying that anyone using it in a productive system/software/service is doing a very bad job at software architecture. I avoid any product relying on super slow software pieces.

Well, who is using mysql/mariadb nowadays anyways? If you haven’t made the switch to at least postgres in the past 5 years, you messed up anyways.

I know. I was being ironic.

Who says CIG ever wanted to publish a game in the first place? It always has been a “Game Development as a Service”

And in a parallel universe, a flat planet contains a lot of sphere earthers.

No matter how intelligent and advanced your species is, we all are poisoned by decisions that questions if evolution is really a working concept.

(…) are you trying to help government agencies perfect spying? sounds very cringe ngl

Tell me again which part of your reply is telling me, you are actually interested in an objective discussion, without assuming things and wanting to start a fight for no reason.

I struggle to find that part.
