Oh, wow, I never considered that art could be created from code. You totally got me.

Or not - the fact that you had to modify the code to turn it into art proves my point.

Your bonafies don't impress me.

Coding is not an art. It's creative at times but it's categorically not an art. The output from coding is not artwork. Code is not a work of art. It has no aesthetic quality. It's used to create software.

Computer code is not art. It has no aesthetic quality. It's generally not even seen and frequently hidden.

It's engineering - you don't need to get all up yourself by claiming to be "artists".

I've been wrestling with this issue myself recently.

There can be both performance and other issues with a db whose data files are on nfs. That said I've done this for years without any real problem. No db corruption so far - but it's a possibility and I've probably been lucky. I have good backups just in case.

Like you I also don't want to maintain a "pet" database on my file server. I want to spin up databases in kubernetes pods and not use local pod storage.

I've been investigating using iSCSI instead. It's "block level" rather than "file level" and performs better with a database. Also none of the locking issues mentioned. It's a recommended way to do remote storage for a db.

The downside is that it's less resilient to the file server becoming unavailable.

Might be worth investigating for you as well - I'll be performing some poc tests to figure out how much of a pain it may be (I don't want to need to fsck a bunch of targets after a file server reboot).

When Hitler invaded Poland you'd be the annoying guy saying "it's a distraction from the Beer Hall Putsch"! And you'd be doing it again when the concentration camps were discovered. Horrible people do lots of horrible things.

Nobody is saying we should forget the Epstein files or not hold Trump accountable. But for the love of God stop saying the other horrible things are a distraction. It's so stupid - at least rephrase it as "don't forget about Epstein" or something less dumb.
