I went down a rabbit hole thanks to some of your sites last week I think it was?
I am not a car person (despite having been in the Monterey area yesterday where they are currently celebrating "car week"), so learning more about the Mazda/Ford collaboration that was the Probe was eye opening for me too! :)
I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.39 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:
Added support for Follow confirmation messages that only return the follow request id (this fixes following Guppe channels).
Fixed some Gotosocial ActivityPub compatibility (details: support fields like tag and attachment being single objects instead of arrays).
Fixed ActivityPub outbox (it listed 'Note' objects instead of 'Create' activities).
Show the 'audience' field (channel URL) if a post has one (like pages from lemmy channels and other forums).
Some web UI tweaks: the new post field is hidden by default (wasting less screen space), added a 'back to top' link at the bottom of the page and other minor tuning to the HTML and default CSS (contributed by yonle).
Fixed RSS (contributed by yonle).
Fixed interactive text processes (like instance or user creating) by calling fflush() after printing text prompts (it was broken on systems that use musl like Alpine Linux).

nostr:npub1p77whr3cyukyulgej4qxyeee6gjxexumj4lsh9a40x0q4g5t72sqzq0jxq I submitted a PR to update MacPorts' snac to 2.39 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/19779
Build bot/CI checks passed!
I don't have commit access, so it's up to someone else to merge it.
Thank you for your continued contributions and improvements!

nostr:npub14d70xk632yuqshz7hdrnnj79j3yufrphy4u7ryekmpr7vztwvf5q8zdm4s I've run MySQL way too much and would avoid it if at all possible.
I've even slept on the couch of one of the former MySQL creators, Brian Aker. No beef with him, though I think once Sun was sold to Oracle, most of the original people who contributed to it kind of left the building?
I've had employers pay for Percona's extra mojo for MySQL and found it too, lacking in many ways that would really make this weary burnt out sysadmin's life easier.
Postgres and SQLite don't seem to get enough love IMHO, but sometimes (at least for me) such decisions were made long ago and migration to another SQL implementation is not in the cards.
Absolutely avoid at all costs: MS-SQL. Every place where MSDE is used, IMHO would be better served by SQLite too. Albeit, MS has done worse, everything with JET (which includes Exchange) is fundamentally horrific.
Sybase I thankfully haven't touched in prod in decades, but it was IMHO way too popular for way too long, perhaps because NeXT bundled it once upon a time or something inane like that?
For those who can forgo SQL, LMDB isn't exactly the "new hawtness" anymore, but is certainly way better than venerable BDB, and even cooler: LumoSQL is basically breathing new life into the SQLightning project (which was SQLite with LMDB) so I am keen to see how that shapes up over time, but when I last looked at it, it was very much a work in progress and not yet copasetic on any BSDs.
