Well, That Sure Sucked

Published at 15:46 on 17 June 2024

Yet again, a MySQL auto-update ran while I was out of town. Yet again, the auto-update auto-trashed my database.

In baseball, a hitter has three chances to hit the ball. But that is in a situation where another pitch takes under a minute to make. Life is not a baseball game. I just pissed away most of a day recovering from a MySQL failure. Again. Two strikes and you’re out, MySQL!

I am now back up, with all auto-updates disabled, and using MariaDB instead of MySQL.
