So ... I've been in IT for 20+ years, most of that time working directly in databases.That whole thing about Twitter, FB, Reddit, Google, whoever ... "deleting" your data after you jump thru the right hoops.That's all bullshit.I mean, even apart from the whole "market, monetize, sell and spy on our userbase" thing.DBAs, people who actually work with databases, we almost never *actually* delete stuff in a database.1/

Instead, we add a flag to each line of "deleted" data that means, "this record is marked as 'deleted' and should no longer be used in standard searches/queries.It goes against our instincts and nature to actually delete the data ...we know it's gonna come back to bite us in the ass, so we always save that "deleted" record for just-in-case.And don't even get me started on database backups.2/

The only way They actually delete your data is if the entire project is deemed useless and the whole db and codebase gets chucked ... and even then, there's still backups sitting somewhere ... for just-in-case.So, seriously, just don't give us your data in the first place.3/3

@ErikJonkerI did say "almost never".But there generally has to be a law, like HIPAA or something, saying you are legally required to completely delete the data.And even then, in govt, are you digging out the archived backups and deleting records out of those?I have never, in 20+ years, had a boss tell me to go thru all of the archives and delete data from every copy and historical version.

Do colors of dishes matter in a microwave?Not seeing anything about this in search engine.We have 3 large ceramic mugs, apparently identical structurally (not an actual set, so can't be sure) ... just different colors.The dark blue mug is fine in the microwave. The red mug is not ... the mug gets hotter than the liquid inside it. The pale green mug is halfway between the two.Thoughts?

More and more, I'm coming to realize that the entire #Linux world is created and maintained by people on the #LGBT+ spectrum, with the (possible) exception of Linus himself.Thank you. All of you.Seriously.Have a great month. Throw many rainbow bricks.#Pride

@lowqualityfactsLow quality.The extra $200/month charge is to get it to stop tasing you.

Tech Pet Peeve # 792No you didn't just buy a new domain.No one ever buys a domain.We rent them. ICANN is our landlord.

@ErikI'm honestly not sure, and I spent some time checking that on #Wikipedia before I posted.But tentatively, I believe ICANN is the only "landowner" so-to-speak, which rents out in bulk to the various wholesale/resalers, who in turn handle retail rentals.... I think.In the process, I did discover the existence of OpenNIC ... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenNICNow trying to figure out how useful they are.

Reminder!Be patient with the #Fediverse, especially the next few days.Half of #Reddit is about to go dark (tomorrow).We have Fediverse-friendly alternatives here, #Kbin and #Lemmy, maybe others ...And they're about to experience a weird version of the Reddit #HugOfDeath ... perhaps Mastodon and the whole Fediverse, too.Servers, moderators and admins may all be overwhelmed.

@saskboyDamn, really? You're one of today's lucky 10,000 (that's an xkcd ref).Reddit is killing off access to hugely popular 3rd party apps, likely in preparation for their IPO this fall, and most of the Internet is appalled.Many Reddit mods are, effectively, going on strike.

Holy shit.Boost this one, please.The #FOSSdroid subreddit is not only going dark for two days, but the moderator there is spending that time spinning up their own #Kbin, and encouraging the subreddit members to move.The Old:https://old.reddit.com/r/fossdroid/comments/146i45k/migration_to_kbin_and_the_fediverse/The New:https://social.fossware.space/The Man:@NettoHikariEvery subreddit that's "going dark" for 2 days and then going back to "business as usual"...if they did this instead, #Reddit would either die or cave on the API thing inside of a week.

I said this before, but clearly, it needs a stand-alone toot.#Facebook trying to join the #Fediverse is...Russia asking to join NATO....Exxon asking to join Greenpeace....The Big Bad Wolf offering to help you build your wolf-proof house.This is not rocket surgery.The whole reason people built the Fediverse was to get away from the #FAANG way of Internetting.Never let them join our club.#BlockMeta #SaveTheFediverse

@drqI know they're supposed to be a bunch of genie-asses over there, but I don't buy it. They actually don't really understand the Fediverse community.Nothing-burger meeting, behind an NDA just 'cuz that's how they roll...I'll buy that. But Machiavellian-level false-flag stuff?No. After watching him run this company for 20 years, no. The Zuck is not that clever.And I'm not freaking out over a meeting. I just don't want FB in here.Period. @rysiek
