Article claims #MariaDB's for-profit arm is headed for bankruptcy after a merger that the author claims was basically a hostile takeover. Fortunately, mariadb.com and the corporation don't own the crucial copyrights over the FLOSS code. Those are owned by mariadb.org and the foundation.
In the meantime, the new owners, having fired the founder (Monty, who also founded #MySQL) are now lawyering up in preparation for legions of lawsuits. Or at least, that's what the article says.
I would much rather pay for a year at a time, then about a month before the next payment is due, I get an e-mail reminder that payment is due by X date at Y time in Z timezone.
But if you’re in a place where that payment plan works for you, both of them were great places to host things over the years. I liked Linode a little more than I liked Digital Ocean, but your experience could be the opposite.

Is the #MySQL #JDBC mysql-connector-j driver very different from the #MariaDB version? I would expect that they try to stay pretty close to upstream, so that their software is easily inserted in place of #Oracle MySQL.
It's pretty demoralizing to never get any responses from anyone but @lnxw48a1, but I am nothing if not persistent.
I realize I could interact more and gain more followers and I could post more. Maybe I'll give Mastodon a shot a see if I get more interaction there. I don't think I've joined an instance but maybe I have.

A good morning to you all. It is 10:15 PST on #Pi-day, and I have consumed my daily #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ). #TZAG
Today, I’m going to try to get a little learning environment set up for #LAMP ( #Linux, #Apache, #MariaDB, #PHP ). The time is rapidly approaching when the current workyjob and I must part ways, and @amic does not yet make enough money 💰 to support me and my family members.
#MariaDB could use some cleanup on their learn page: https://mariadb.org/learn/ !sysadmin (and yeah, I get that sysadmins and dbas are not the same thing, but some sysadmins do need to know about MariaDB!)
Thought I'd install #VirtualMin, but it ate my #MariaDB setup, tried to replace it with #MySQL, botched the installation, and I had to recover it all manually. Killed my !StatusNet daemons, had to #KickTheDaemons. Sorry for the interrupted service. !SysAdmin #Fail.
