I read that as ‘beautiful clean coat’ and wondered why would he accept a trophy for a dog.

Then I remembered that he’s a little bitch. TACO.

What does it say about the society that he is so much better off than me?

Always has been. Never a day without it.

They said fuck sysd, which is fair, I don’t use it on my desktop either.

My service files are still 10-20 lines.

There are systems other than SysV and systemd…

Don’t do false dichotomy.

I installed ubuntu for my father in 2010. He has no idea how PCs work, and he’s been fine with it. And we are not even close.

Always has been.

Remember John Deere?

But it always does.

If we actually cared about profit, we would have 3 day work weeks, plenty of vacation days, free child care, free housing and basic food staples.

And the profits would break the sky.

But it’s more about control and making poors miserable than about absolute profits.

You can always come out of everything to a separate terminal, not sure how many users actually know that.

It’s not always helpful or even very friendly, but it can save butts.

Ctrl + Alt + F1 or …F6, sometimes even up to F8. Usually desktop is at F2. Sometimes it’s not. But you can check them any time.

Usually the EU countries have free healthcare, free schools, and social nets.

I wish that Slovakia and Hungary can change the tide and vote in someone more progressive.

I also should start doing something about that.

Cause fuck Fico and Orban (and Babis while we’re here).

Will it?

I was hoping the new batch of politicians will show the world how it can be done.

Then I saw some memes with young Kalinak? He looks so young, but is on the same boat as Fico. There are many others, I have no doubt about that.

Even people who never saw the old regime can be vile and let’s be honest, fashy enough to pull the country further right.

It’s always a sad day when known thieves get reelected.

The state of eastern Europe is pretty bleak. Even the Czech Republic has elected an asshole.

But also the opposition keeps shitting the bed.

Like how do you fuck up so badly that people choose known devils instead?

What do you mean?

Stop DB, run pg_upgrade, start it, win?

Or set up logical replication into newer version, wait for sync, test use-cases, switch write?

Where do you get better experience?

Does that mean it’s still an utter borderline unusable shit?

Tutorials mostly.

Is Maria that much better than MySQL?

Cause that one is absolute shit, very difficult to maintain, and requires lots of config changes and even replicas can disconnect when something’s not 100% ok.

I will take Postgres over any other DB any day of the week.

Is it true?

Postgres with correct fillfactor, it doesn’t create new pages and works very fast.

Replication in MySQL always sucked ass, only received synchronous replication in some new edition, and that also didn’t sound great.

Postgres has logstream and logical replication, both of them can be set to various levels of synchronicity, and logical replication is configurable at least as well as MySQL is in terms of which data is sent.

MySQL always sucked ass.

PostgreSQL went in a different direction, started with best support of the SQL standard, then optimized everything to make it fast.

Postgres has/had the best SQL standard support out of every server, open-source or not.

MySQL was at the other end, only started catching up after Oracle bought it.
