Fireship’s latest vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] otto@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. I don't use Omarchy, but I think it is good someone did a polished distro for a specific use case, and some web dev Windows users will surely find it more appealing than a generic distro where they need to figure out a lot of stuff from scratch.

Fireship’s vid about Omarchy spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers (youtu.be)
 

Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!

I don't use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

If you are self-hosting MariaDB, upgrading to latest LTS version will make TLS much esier.

Which open alternative apps list is the best? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] otto@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

To me it is hard to find the best apps in their directory as they don't have a good ranking system. The other sites that rank by GitHub stars do a pretty good job of surfacing what are the truly most popular and successful apps.

MariaDB 11.8's zero-configuration TLS requires no manual setup in c/sysadmin@lemmy.world
[–] otto@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

TLS is good *only' if you are also validating those certs. And that is what MariaDB 11.8 is now doing.

This is nice for those tired of wrestling with TLS certs and CAs for your database

MariaDB Cloud launched with "Serverless tier is free forever for experimenting and small development projects" (mariadb.com)
 

Next time I start a new web app development I might try MariaDB Cloud with "Serverless tier is free forever for experimenting and small development projects"

How to use new PARSEC password authentication method in MariaDB? (programming.dev)
 

I tried to use the new PARSEC auth method in MariaDB 11.8 but ran into an error:

> CREATE USER 'app_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED VIA parsec USING PASSWORD('your_secure_password');
ERROR 1524 (HY000): Plugin 'parsec' is not loaded

Why isn't the plugin loaded by default?

18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using (programming.dev)
 

Nextcloud asked in a poll at https://mastodon.social/@nextcloud@mastodon.xyz/115095096413238457 what database its users are running. Interestingly one fifth replied they don't know. Should people know better where their data is stored, or is it a good thing everything is running so smoothly people don't need to know what their software stack is built upon?

Stategies for scaling out MySQL/MariaDB when database gets too large for a single host? in c/devops@programming.dev
[–] otto@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I am asking for general strategies, not for a solution to a specific case.

What to do when a MySQL/MariaDB database gets too large for a single host? in c/sysadmin@lemmy.world
[–] otto@programming.dev 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

By UV 3000 you probably don't mean the ultraviolet lamp that is the first page of Google is full of when searching with this term..? I doubt UV - whatever it is - is a common approach.
