Cutting lots of corners right now

Tired of reposting what I just shared over at X. Maybe I should consider an automation tool?

Benutze endlich mal skychat.social, und muss sagen: das deckt vieles ab, was mir auf bsky noch fehlte - zB DrüKos ansehen. Und jetzt macht er bsky für lurker auf. Chapeau an Mario, große Empfehlung.

Just shared it on Twitter, forgive me X, but feel it's worthwhile sharing in the blue sky as well because I forgot to post it back then:

MariaDB is NOT a 1-to-1 replacement for MySQL.

E.g.
MySQL: `REGEXP_LIKE(str, pattern)`
MariaDB: `str REGEXP pattern`

The space of booking tools is pretty crowded.

Those live chats (e.g. Intercom) are pretty handy.
