I have a couple servers with Debian 12, running MariaDB. The servers were configured with bind-address 127.0.0.1:3306 so that any database connections are local. I upgraded to Debi…

That's the problem with the definition of "healthy". No single food is "healthy" on it's own. It's a wrong way to look at it and why most people fail at finding a good diet. There'…

I presume users lost access to everything.

The question is "can anyone". Makes you wonder why the USA hasn't built one? Maybe the latest technology required some rare discovery. Just like nobody can replicate the taste of C…

If the extension does something that isn't changing, like JSON Formatting, I guess it's best to disable updates right after you install it. I just did this for all extensions I hav…

+1 from me. Motorola has such great quality/price ratio and the user experience is decent. There's still some nagging and such but overall it's much better than the competition. Bu…
