Pas d’urgence, mais une envie de changer pour une structure à taille plus humaine.

DBA a life in the shadows
Database administration is weird. The job is a strange combination of theory and practice, strictness and loose rules mixed together in a magic blend.
The DBA is probably one of the most obscure and one of the less appreciated roles within the IT organisations.
The extreme financial problems in #Birmingham are less about the settlement of an #equalpay case & more about the disastrous implementation of an #Oracle IT system.
While this has been discussed publicly in the past, its worth emphasising its critical & central role in Birmingham's problems.... like the #Horizon IT problems at the Post Office, a large multinational #informationtechnology firm seems to be causing havoc with impunity!
I was sitting in a bar with some friends, wearing a classic @torproject onion-logo shirt, when a guy turned around and asked if that was a reference to The Onion magazine. Turned out he was a developer at #Oracle. We started talking about IT security, encryption, anonymity, how Tor works etc.
When he left, he opened his wallet and handed me a 100€ bill, and asked me to put it towards Tor relay ops.
This is how @torservers got started. So, in some sense, Oracle founded it. True story.
Billionaire Larry Ellison plotted with #Trump aides on call about overturning election, report says
"According to the Post, the call took place on 14 November 2020, less than a week after Election Day resulted in Mr Trump’s stunning defeat in previous #GOP strongholds like Arizona and Georgia.
Others on the call included Jay Sekulow, an attorney for the White House, as well as Fox News’s Sean Hannity and Sen Lindsey Graham"
Red Hat’s decision to lock down RHEL sources behind a subscription paywall was met with much ire and opened opportunity for Oracle to get a smack in and SUSE to announce a fork with $10 million behind it 🥊
Few RHEL community members have been as publicly irate as @geerlingguy, so we invited him on the show to discuss 💬
If you like #oracle decks, #mindfulness tools, journal #prompts, #potatoes, and things like that - you might like my new oracle deck. It is funding on #Kickstarter right now (currently at 81% ahhh) and you can find the link in my bio.
Being a fully self employed #artist* means any social media sharing is massively helpful, so thank you! 💚🥔
I love taking @fedora with me to more and more public clouds. This time involves a trip to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, where I imported Fedora 38 and launched a Flex instance:
It blows my mind that it's a recorded fact that Larry Ellison sent money and people to help the January 6th coup plotters and Oracle has still not been banned from government contracting.
And that he isn't trying to assemble all of the legal talent to defend himself in Federal court.
So about that French #Lenormand deck I've been pining away for...
It's so gorgeous in person! The cards are BIG so unless you have a big table, it is not ideal for a grand tableaux spread. I only wish I understood French so I can read what her guidebook has to say, always curious about other readers interpretations.
This is an interesting dark pattern: send informal unsolicited emails to businesses ("let's have a chat about #Java licensing, so we can find out what fits you best") in order to extort information about how they are running Java on their machines and try and squeeze more money out of them.
Those who respond to these emails are actually providing #Oracle with information about how they deploy Java. But they are just talking to a salesperson, not to an engineer.
For context: Oracle's current Java licenses are on a per-CPU basis. You want to run your Java application on a beefier server with more cores? Your Java licensing costs are likely to double overnight. Not only, but Oracle has apparently harassed businesses that run Java on virtual machines too, claiming that virtual cores should also be accounted for and therefore you need a license for each virtual machine you spawn - somebody reported a proposed price tag of $120,000 for running Oracle Java on five servers with a bunch of VMs.
They mentioned that they may consider a per-employee licensing model instead. While this would be slightly fairer, nothing has been set in stone yet: don't engage in such discussions informally with a company that, at the current state, may simply use your information against you.
Also, avoid Oracle Java entirely if you can. Oracle's only mission is to cannibalize open-source projects, close them and profit from them by squeezing money from businesses that just need a compiler, an OS or a database in order to function.
In the process, they add literally zero value to our industry - despite benefiting from FOSS a lot, the weight of their contribution back to the community is nearly negligible. Oracle deserves to rot in its greed and be mourned by nobody.
If you use Java in your infrastructure, consider using OpenJDK, Zulu or other open-source implementations. You'll save on your bills, you won't have to count each single core that you run your applications on, you won't have to fear sudden licensing changes that will badly hit your wallet, you'll support FOSS, and contribute to starve off an evil parasite in our industry whose demise is long overdue.
🇵🇱 Po przerwie wracam z nowym wpisem na #blog! Tym razem opisałem jak sprawić sobie DARMOWY komputer dostępny przez przeglądarkę wykorzystując #Oracle i #DWService.
🇬🇧 After a break I'm back with a new #blog post! This time I described how to make yourself a FREE computer accessible through browser using #Oracle and #DWService.
Throwing a hail mary. Anyone I know working with php and oci8 for oracle? Just built two boxes following Red Hat instructions, one with php8 and one with php 8.1. Both using 'Oracle Instant Client', and can connect using sqlplus. No errors on building/loading php-fpm but both give the same error "undeclared function oci_connect()". I am not a php programmer or a oracle dba, just a stuck in the middle sysadmin. #monday#php#oracle
Dzisiaj na #blog całkiem obszerny wpis o #YunoHost, czyli narzędziu do #SelfHosting, ale dla mniej technicznych lub technicznych, ale leniwych 😁
Omówiłem czym jest to narzędzie, jak je zainstalować na serwerze #Oracle (lub dowolnym innym z Debianem), jak przeprowadzić podstawową konfigurację i zrobić kopię zapasową. Taki poradnik bazowy, wystarczający do rozpoczęcia przygody z tym środowiskiem 😉

Today I pondered something: Proxmox and others boast native ZFS integration as one of their strengths. Many Proxmox features rely on ZFS's unique capabilities, and many setups are built around them. If Oracle were to send a cease and desist tomorrow, how would the situation unfold?
#Java developers, Reminder that there's a SEAT WAITING FOR YOU at Oracle DevLive New York City (May 9). Come hear from Java experts including Georges Saab Chad Arimura Billy Korando & Aurelio Garcia-Ribeyro. Register now (it's FREE): https://www.oracle.com/developer/devlive/new-york/java/
Exceptionnellement, je vous propose un post public sur Patreon pour découvrir un projet perso que j'ai envie de partager avec mes mécènes : L'Oracle Catastrophique des Dieux Grecs. "Musique de peplum".
Un oracle totalement barré et qui accueillera aussi des personnages masculins pour changer !
1.) Yes, you should definitely be thinking of Java 8 as a legacy version now
2.) #Oracle continue to lose ground as a #JVM vendor (from 75% market share in 2020, to 34.5% in 2022 to 20.8% in 2024) - now just a couple of points clear of Eclipse's Adoptium distribution and Amazon's Corretto,
Oracle's revised Java licensing terms 2-5x more expensive (www.theregister.com)
