If you needed a reason to switch to Postgres, there you go.
Unpopular opinion?: without wordpress, mysql/mariadb would have died years ago.
I hope this won’t have any negative effects on PostgreSQL which will hopefully not have to cater the MySQL refugees now.
I am a bit out of the loop in terms of RDBMS history, what do you mean by MySQL refugees?
MySQL refugees = those who ran to MariaDB when MySQL was bought by 'Orrible and now need another new home. Accidentally, PostgreSQL has grown support for some of MySQL on recent versions.
Hummm… Can someone tell me if this is good news or bad news?
Generally a buy-out is mostly bad news, but I can’t tell here in this specific case.
Depends. Is K1 a vulture?
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.
MySQL sucks, and almost everyone who willingly use it also sucks.
Nextcloud.
Though I think it has some level of support for postgres by now. I should check on that.
The Go version?
I’ve never heard of K1.
Should we expect MariaDB enshittification to ensure?
Strategic investment aims to accelerate MariaDB’s mission to deliver innovative, scalable database solutions with new executive leadership to drive the next phase of growth
I’m not reading that as a “no” :(
How the fuck do you “accelerate” something they are already achieving?
Not sure how much of a future it can have even if you slap on some “speed”.
They plan to send the mission into orbit using an North Korean missile, for maximum acceleration.
/S
So MariaDB will explode halfway to Japan?
Exactly. And so it begins.
