Re:Show HN: WP-MCP – An MCP server to control WordPress on Wednesday October 22, 2025 @07:19AM (#45667429)
Looks interesting. But note that versioning is inconsistent. For example, on https://www.servbay.com/pricing, the first mention says MariaDB 10.4-11.7 is available, the second mention says 10.4 to 11.8, while the README at https://github.com/ServBay/ServBay/blob/main/README.md states 10.4 to 12.0.
Re:MariaDB Server Vector Preview on Tuesday July 30, 2024 @10:52AM (#41109724)
A preview version of Vector Search is now available for MariaDB Server. The feature is a collaboration between MariaDB plc, MariaDB Foundation, Amazon AWS and others. This is based on the industry standard HNSW algorithm, and will become a core part of the standard server.

MariaDB Server is guaranteed to remain open source. It will also always be available to the community. The MariaDB Foundation exists to support continuity and open collaboration in the MariaDB ecosystem, regardless of the actions of any company. https://mariadb.org/about/

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/incompatibilities-and-feature-diff... tries to give a thorough breakdown of the differences.
Never mind what the software does from a user perspective, what definition does this project use for 'pantry'? Wikipedia agrees with my understanding of the term and tells me it's a room for storing food etc. And this definition is used in the United States too, so it appears not to be some Americanism. But LibreFood pantries have guests?

1) So, the vast difference between a modern hybrid high-gluten version of wheat and the grain crops human's have adapted to is dismissed with an uncited "gluten is our friend".

2) Er, no, the question was about genetic modification, which is not the same as hybridization.

Interesting how many people, who quite clearly know nothing about what they're writing, revel in the supposed scientific credibility the word "skeptic" gives them.

This kind of drivel gives skeptics a bad name, making them look as ignorant as the unquestioning who blindly accept the opposite story.

I use Runbox (http://www.runbox.com/).

They're based in Norway, run off open source with strong privacy, and use mainly renewable energy,
