Just adding that GitLab self-host is an absolute nightmare, if anything goes wrong you are done. They include database in their ‘package’, so you have limited options.

Also GitHub is usually used to distribute dependencies, so if your package gets downloaded 1M+ times, you don’t have to pay for the traffic.

Private jet would outcompete anything, sadly

So I installed this way back in the day on my prod corporate VMs. I was still green, and any prod issues would shake me so much, it was too stressful.

I taught myself to relax when the locomotive pops up, take a few deep breaths and go on.

It was super effective. I learned to not get so flustered, and stopped messing commands due to adrenaline. I no longer install it anywhere, but it still puts a smile and a wave of nostalgia when I see or hear about it.

Such a small thing, yet it helped me grow so much.

I will just say:

WHAT THE FUCK are we doing? Alpine has been used in Docker, and Docker is now run everywhere.

WHY are these necessary tools underfunded? They barely even need anything. Why do companies not support them?

Can we start giving at least 0.000001% of net profit to the basic tools used? Can we globally force companies to give the smallest pittance to the open-source projects they make trillions off of?

Cracked software still enables their dominance over the market.

Many things, too many to even remember.

Very bad SQL implementation is a good start, still bad replication support (compared to Postgres), various bugs present for too long…

https://www.sql-workbench.eu/dbms_comparison.html this comparison is a bit out of date, but explains a lot

Postgres is far superior in every way.

We used MySQL (and Percona XtraDB) servers at work, and it is so bad. So I made several presentations showing generic and specific reasons why Postgres is better. I had to cut a lot of content because MySQL is just that bad.

Some things may not seem relevant now, but as you keep the DB around long enough, you will appreciate the whole package of Postgres.

Things that will help a lot, but are extensions:

• pg_partman - for automatic partition management
• patroni - management of replicas, automatic failover - it does everything for you with simple commands

There is a DB comparison matrix, but hasn’t been updated in over a year, which is a shame, but still gives you the idea of how different databases support SQL features: link.

Spoiler: postgres has the most support, with a huge lead

Edit: MySQL is dead last, btw

No, there are DRM games on GOG (or have been anyway).

And Steam also has DRM-free games.

Gentoo OpenRC gang rise up!

I used to, 15 years ago.

Good times.

Where is dwm?

It’s not a take, that was their actual reasoning behind it. Gabe knew Microsoft well, as a former employee.

I had a printer I could not in my life make work on a Windows PC (2017). Then I tried my Ubuntu laptop, no drivers installed, just worked.

Fuck Windows.

Oh boy, I know where I’m losing my next free weekend

Gentoo is the best!

Build flags are absolute godsent.

Ever wondered how much shit goes into your software? How many packages include blutooth or CD drivers? Well, you would be suprised.

LibreOffice REQUIRES MySQL client (or MariaDB), and you can’t build it without it. Sounds weird? Then you have no idea what happens inside your packages.

So which distro do you use? Plan9 was never completed I think?

Just use Gentoo mate /s

Or Metaverse

They made 1 (one) game engine, and keep propping it up every release.

So it’s Linux vs Windows
