Yep! You can have multiple named screens, log them all individually, and they'll keep processes running even if you disconnect. Never used tmux but screen is usually installed on the systems I'm working on.

My choice is screen on the CLI. It's an old one, but I just learned about it this year and it's been amazing helpful doing complex, long-running tasks via SSH.

Every good cyberpunk has a PowerBook.

This is why I have a separate gaming machine that I access with Parsec

And then I open it again and play games

True, and I keep those folks in my prayers.

But if you're on MySQL it's a lot less of a lift to switch to MariaDB than it is to go to Postgres, even if Postgres is better in some ways.

Oracle is such a terrible company for their customers it makes a ton of sense to try to get them to switch to a less abusive company

MariaDB tried to go public a while back and their stock price tanked immediately and never recovered. If they hadn't gotten acquired I imagine they'd have gone out of business.

MariaDB.com is separate from MariaDB.org that does the development, so it shouldn't be too bad.

Then again, the folks working at MariaDB.com might have a different opinion.

There were so many web apps written in the early 00s on the LAMP stack, including Facebook. And that's not counting the tiny internal applications that so many businesses have that use MySQL/MariaDB. Because these are business critical applications, they pay Oracle/MariaDB for support.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago

MariaDB is actually two separate entities: The company MariaDB and the MariaDB organization. The company sells enterprise licenses and support, and the organization manages the actual development. So there's a little separation that will at least slow the enshittification.

Well, if you're one of the millions who own one of them gas-drinking, piston-clanking, air-polluting, smoke-belching, four-wheeled buggies from Detroit City, then pay attention

I'm about to sing your song, son

Well, I'm not a man appointed judge

To bear ill will and hold a grudge

But I think it's time I said me a few choice words

All about that demon automobile

A metal box with the Polyglas wheel

The end result of the dream of Henry Ford

Well, I've got a car that's mine alone

That me and the finance company own

A ready-made pile of manufactured grief

And if I ain't out of gas in the pouring rain

I'm a-changin' a flat in a hurricane

I once spent three days lost on a cloverleaf

Well, it ain't just the smoke and the traffic jam

That makes me the bitter fool I am

But this four-wheel buggy is a-dollarin' me to death

For gas and oils and fluids and grease

And wires and tires and antifreeze

And them accessories, well, honey, that's something else

Well, you can get a stereo tape and a color TV

Get a back-seat bar and reclining seats

And just pay once a month, like you do your rent

Well, I figured it up and over a period of time

This four-thousand dollar car of mine

Costs fourteen thousand dollars

And ninety-nine cents

Well, now, Lord, Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see

What your simple horseless carriage has become

Well, it seems your contribution to man

To say the least, got a little out of hand

Well, Lord, Mr. Ford what have you done?

Now the average American father and mother

Own one whole car and half another

And I bet that half a car is a trick to drive, don't you?

But the thing that amazes me, I guess

Is the way we measure a man's success

By the kind of automobile he can afford to buy

Well, now, red light, green light, traffic cop

Right turn, no turn, must turn, stop

Get out the credit card, honey, we're out of gas

Well, now, all the cars placed end to end

Would reach to the moon and back again

And there'd probably be some poor fool who'd pull out to pass

Well, now, how I yearn for the good old days

Without that carbon dioxide haze

A-hanging over the roar of the interstate

Well, if the Lord that made the moon and the stars

Would have meant for me and you to have cars

He'd have seen that we was all born with a parking space

Lord, Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see

What your simple horseless carriage has become

Well, it seems your contribution to man

To say the least, got a little out of hand

Well, Lord, Mr. Ford, what have you done?

Come away with me, Lucille

In my smoking, choking automobile
