Nextcloud asked in a poll at https://mastodon.social/@nextcloud@mastodon.xyz/115095096413238457 what database its users are running. Interestingly one fifth replied they don't know. Should people know better where their data is stored, or is it a good thing everything is running so smoothly people don't need to know what their software stack is built upon?

It has been long in the coming (Oracle bought Sun and MySQL over 15 years ago), but seems WordPress is finally at the point where MariaDB popularity surpassed MySQL as shown by stats at https://wordpress.org/about/stats/.

The share of MySQL 8.4 users is oddly low, just 0.1 %. One would think it would still be at least 1% or something..
