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.

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.

Is this the only point, when it comes to security? In my experience, the ease of use is also a factor. Today, VPN clients are just one button and it runs. I2P is almost there, but requires you to setup some configs manually. So is it really worth to drive a tank to just go grocery shopping?

Tomorrow passwords will be cracked in no time, because most algorithms are not quantum safe. Same with password length.

I never said it is not an attack vector. There are dozens if not hundreds. The question is about the probability, which is always a dimension if you manage risks. There is no need to list all theoretical possible attack vectors, if the probability of actually happening only affects 2 people on this planet.

Videos for educational purposes should not sensationalize unlikely attacks, as it only causes unnecessary fear. I’d rather have someone using torrent on VPN than not using anything at all because they are now afraid of the government.

That’s not what I was talking about?

If someone is actually trying to convict you just based on the correlation of the connection times, you probably don’t just share a copyrighted movie. So why mentioning this as an actual threat in the first place?

Now do the same with Bandidos and Night Wolves please. In all Europe. Fuck them.

system32 is legacy crap anyways and is not used anymore. Everything important is stored in system64

By the way OP, similar but worse is the ability to handle 25Gbits. But someone made a working router for that as well and CPU was also a factor: https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2022-04-23-fiber7-25gbit-upgrade/
