How is that different from sending a PR?

Yup. I've worked in big multinational companies where a local department would roll their own solution (a database and a web page, usually), and then the people that built it moved on or retired and now no one will maintain the thing. A small business has much less resources to deal with this kind of thing.

The closer the stuff is to off the shelf, the better. Reliability and maintainability are paramount and should trump feature set when deciding.

Infrastructure is also easier to change. A TrueNAS local server with external backup using Borg should be a no brainer for users. You could also setup Syncthing to get users something close to OneDrive.

If the business grows tenfold, it's still only 120 people. They can't handle that in a gaming rig?

Is not the first time I've seen a good technical post from them.

Not up to date enough / unavailable / I don't want to compile. Spin the wheel, pick a reason.

Okay, but how about you address my question now? If the effects are the same as GPL but it has a lot of downsides, why would you use it? What is its selling point?

 

It's pages and pages of this. Maybe you want to restrict who can log in and create repositories.

What is NoSQL good for? (self.learn_programming)
 

I’m versed enough in SQL and RDBMS that I can put things in the third normal form with relative ease. But the meta seems to be NoSQL. Backends often don’t even provide a SQL interface.

So, as far as I know, NoSQL is essentially a collection of files, usually JSON, paired with some querying capacity.

  1. What problem is it trying to solve?
  2. What advantages over traditional RDBMS?
  3. Where are its weaknesses?
  4. Can I make queries with complex WHERE clauses?
