Correct. any nuclear power plant would take forever to build, and be to late to help. Meanwhile electric cars are here *now*, and solar + wind + batteries are not only much faster to implement, but also cheaper. Nuclear is to little, to late.

I still use sc (apt install sc) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sc_(spreadsheet_calculator)>

Ascii art porn was easy. It was a drag to download a image, because those files were so big. Downloading a .mp3 file was frought with danger, because those file were a whopping 2mb or more in size. You could never know if you actually managed to download these files. Also: BBS'es had limited capacity in the number of connections. You had to be really econmical in what files you wanted to download. I've had so many files wich i had almost downloadeded, just for the connection to die. It was a pain.

This is most likely an attempt to connect to a webserver on your own device to collect data and/or do tracking.

Remember back in June when Facebook/meta got caught tracking users trough a webserver on Android phone thought Messenger and Instagram? Same thing.

Because it can already export to CSV/TSV and exporting to json has no direct added value?

Note that Excel and Google Sheet can also not export to sc (spreadsheet calculator), to DuckDB, etc. Just because something is possible, does not mean it therefore must exist.

s/MySQL/MariaDB/

* It works out of the box, and continues to work with no (or only minimal) tuning (no vacuum, etc)

* Scaling up through replication is straightforward

* Every techstack supports MySQL/MariaDB

In short: Good enough, No drama.

In my experience developers prefer PostgreSQL, while SysOps / DevOps / SRE's prefer MariaDB.
