Anyone aware of a @Mastodon repo where storage is bound to #mysql rather than #postgresql?

Why?
I am looking to binding Mastodon to #iODBC such that storage is #DBMS independent.

A MySQL binding makes this effort easier since we already have a library in place for making any MySQL-specific app #ODBC based.

See: iodbc.org/dataspace/doc/iodbc/…

Got in a little 15-20 minute session of #BeatSaber for the first time since fucking up my back a week and a half ago. 😤 Felt pretty good, and although I didn't play any fitbeat maps (I was trying to be gentle!), I did play "CANDYYYLAND", which... was prolly a bit much.

Still recommend that song. It feels great to play: bsaber.com/songs/294c/

#OTD in 1975, the Lifting Body Program ended with the final flight of the X-24B by NASA research pilot Tom McMurtry.

Contributing to Space Shuttle research, these wingless vehicles were designed to fly to Earth from space and land like planes.

Visiting Fellows Program

This program provides a forum for scholarly knowledge exchange and collaboration among research colleagues, with the intent of producing a research outcome that positively impacts how we use and manage the ocean.

Today, @NASA_Orion will break the record for farthest distance of a spacecraft designed to carry humans to deep space and safely return them to Earth. This record is currently held by Apollo 13.

Is there an instance for #astrophotography on #Mastodon ?

I'm literally asking for a friend #space #photography

I wanted to see what you can do with a reasonably modern camera and an f4 lens, but it's already very cold outside, so there's only this one picture 🌌

if you've ever messed up a dimension or a hole position on something you're building, don't be too hard on yourself.

at least you're not the Cisco design engineer who caused an entire product line recall by placing the mode button (which resets the switch if held) directly above an RJ45 port.

Talk about showing both sides of the story. Nice frontback, Orion.

On flight day 9, @NASA_Orion took these images looking forward to the Moon, and back home toward Earth.

Some of the brightest objects in space are blazars—supermassive black holes feeding off material, which can create two powerful jets of high-speed particles.

While in lunar orbit, flight controllers will monitor key systems and perform checkouts while in the environment of deep space. go.nasa.gov/3F4XfII

A black hole's gravity is so powerful that not even light can escape it. 😱

But on this #BlackHoleFriday, we ask you not to fear the mysterious things in our universe and instead be open to their beauty.

I am not generally a #StarWars person, but I've fallen into a very fun hole recently due to the A More Civilized Age podcast (amorecivilizedage.net/) and my partners. I ended up watching Andor and Rogue One, and today I watched season one of The Mandalorian. This is the most SW I've consumed in years.

Anyway, a vigorous convo yesterday on whether #StarTrek can even be usefully analyzed from an anti-capitalist, anti-colonialist perspective means that I might have a new podcast early next year.

A More Civilized Age: A Star Wars Podcast

Join Rob Zacny, Natalie Watson, Ali Acampora, and Austin Walker as they dive headfirst into the fall of the Galactic Republic, debate which Jedi is messiest, and dig into the themes and politics of The Clone Wars. Cover Art by @XeeceeVEVO on Twitter.
