This is ultimately a story about a WebSockets bug and a classic JS footgun in `new DataView()`. I'm the post author: AMA.

Postgres. Fast, full-featured, rock-solid, and a great community. I think many of us can’t be bothered to go over (again) the issues we’ve had with MySQL in the past. The last straw for me was about ten years ago, when I caught MySQL merril

That’s true, but I was wary of running what would essentially be an open TCP relay. Also, I don’t currently bundle a comprehensive set of root certs in subtls, nor support all ciphers or signing methods.

On the other hand, the integrated bulb/fixtures in our house at least use separate driver units, and seem to be lasting much better than the average mains-voltage LED bulb (the oldest is 8 years old, used every day and still going stro
