i guess they never heard of sqlite3? does mysql have any features worth using other than "silently changing table types from innodb to myisam to gently caress you over" or "silently casting nulls to empty strings to gently caress you over" or

the fact myisam still exists is terrible
innodb has its own brand of stupid though, like not defaulting to file-per-table, and even then requiring the entire ibdata1 file for the entire database so you have to use hacks like xtrabackup to take consistent partial snapshots

you can tell it to be 'strict' to avoid the silent php-style casting but lol that's not the default. php-style database.

been doing too much dba janitoring lately. mysql replication is so easy to break too sigh

it's amazing how fragile it is, the integration with virtualbox is super dumb

the easiest solution most of the time seems to be to delete the .vagrant directory and start all over again

I'll fight anyone here who says vagrant "JUST WORKS" instead of "arbitrarily creates a bunch of nonissues and wasting everybody's time" vagrant experience

after all these years i have finally watched someone unintentionally do an rm -rf * on a bunch of important data

unix, the user-friendly os

the surprising part is that we turned out to actually have regular backups, and someone knew how to restore them

vagrant is the de facto cross platform standard. if i don't want to send someone a 16 gb ova/ovf file, it's vagrant or nothing

it doesn't matter if it sucks because it's not really a choice

that said docker + test-kitchen can be a really nice combo if your target audience can be relied upon to figure out how to get those lovely docker wrapper scripts to work on osx

ews is actually supported and enabled by default on modern versions of exchange, so if this code works it's likely to work for most people most of the time

I wasn't aware of that. The document here describing Exchange's architecture (last updated earlier this year) definitely suggests that MAPI is definitely still used.

mapi is still used internal to exchange, but for client access it runs the mapi stuff over some weird fuckin RPC over HTTPS layer.

there exist microsoft-rpc-over-https libraries for linux but it basically requires you to build samba 4 from git to get started.

ews is a lot simpler, but until today, i didn't know of a linux mail/calendar app with ews support

Oh, you're simply talking about autodiscovery, not actual mail delivery. OK, yeah, then that's still under development.

i learned this stuff very painfully a few jobs ago, even tried to hack on some of the code. stuff was very, very, very broken at that time.

now it looks like evolution sidesteps all the bullshit with an ews backend. that's a huge step forward (if it works)

i had to boot up the linux desktop for the first time in a month or so and it took a half hour or so of reboots and plugging and unplugging before my usb keyboard and mouse would work (the keyboard would work fine in the bootloader selection screen but as soon as it got into the login screen: nope)

chef natively supports at least two package systems i've never heard of, in addition to such widely used formats as solaris "ips" (11.0-only), macports, and openbsd ports.

in other words, it only really takes one user to get changes mainstreamed

nix must have literally 0 users who also have an interest in configuration management. i am imagining a community made up exclusively of smug weirdos who think packaging is the hard part
