Lonesome Walker

For a simple customer project, i need a specific function of MariaDB, which is only available in the Enterprise edition.

Since MariaDB is already struggling with getting paying customers, i was somehow happy to use their contact form to ask for an Enterprise subscription.

I used one of my dedicated mail addresses (especially for cases like this), told them that i am CEO, my company name and the fact that it will be one server, one cpu.

Okay, then i receive the same response to my dedicated AND general business email.
WHAT THE FUCK. DID I ASK FOR THAT?

Also the sales representive is asking me questions like: what is my business case, do i have performance issues, etc…

WHO CARES?

I want a price tag.

Nah, sorry MariaDB. Either you get your sales fixed, or your commercial branch will die.
As heartbroken i am in this case, but this customer will now go with MS SQL, also running on Linux, but having a proper price tag which they do not need to hide.

Farewell…

Kurze Schnippsel:

apt install phpx.x-{a,b,c}
Installiert die PHP-Module der Version vor der Klammer, in der Klammer die einzelnen Module.

phpenmod -v x.x -s fpm phar
Aktiviert für Version -v von fpm das Modul phar.

update-alternatives --config php
update-alternatives --config phar
update-alternatives --config phar.phar
Damit setzt man die Default-Werte.

Unter Ubuntu und Debian tut:

update-ca-certificates --fresh

manchmal Wunder 😛
