Quote: it used a simple SQL database rather than a true blockchain.
What's behind the curtain?[^]
I think the more interesting point is, if you can spoof blockchain with a simple SQL database, then really, what is the point of blockchain? I realize that's a somewhat naive view of things, but...

This article, which admits that even SD Times journalists over-sold the entire idea of The Cloud.
article final line: Before racing in, organizations should evaluate what makes sense for them, and what does not.
Yeah, people with a little experience knew that already.

You mean logic finally prevails after all the hype? Amazing!

PHB 'logic' != our 'logic'! They read things like this and think, "To the Clouds!"

I'm sure they'll turn that around soon. If they have to they'll "create" some other "Super-Amazing Must-Have Technology" to do it.

Not the only thing SD Times oversold; perhaps they should change their name.

In fairness they freely admit to having oversold other fads in this article. Hype is in the nature of the business and SD Times are far from alone in over-promoting whatever this week's new thing happens to be.

Sure, but we'll have to wait five years for them to confess to overselling the cr@p that they're overselling now.
And, as with "the cloud", the buzz-word buggerifiers will already have spent millions of man-years' worth of salary on it, by then.

Impressive. I'm also impressed by:
if (section.GetValue<string>("DbProvider") == "SqlServer")
{
AppSettings.DbOptions = options => options.UseSqlServer(section.GetValue<string>("ConnString"));
}
else if (section.GetValue<string>("DbProvider") == "MySql")
{
AppSettings.DbOptions = options => options.UseMySql(section.GetValue<string>("ConnString"));
}
else
{
AppSettings.DbOptions = options => options.UseSqlite(section.GetValue<string>("ConnString"));
}
Given that MySql  and I think SqlLite runs on Debian, this should be able to work on an rPi as the server!
Too bad they don't support PostgreSQL. I wonder what it would take to modify it to use that?

Properly belongs in Soapbox, and indicates a total lack of knowledge of Communism.

Soapbox agree! Maybe you don't understand Capitalism.

No, it's shockingly Capitalistic coming from her.
The communist response would be: "These companies are too big, so the government should run them."
Blaming tech companies for "stifling innovation" though, now that's funny.

But, a Communist response can be to tell a Company that you are too big and must break up into x, y and z. Maybe the government doesn't like the fact that a Company is offering more than one service,etc. and that is not Capitalistic. One can make an argument and show facts as to why some of these non-Capitalistic actions should happen, but in the end it is the Government and not any regulatory body.

Yeah, no. But you're allowed to be wrong. Have a nice day!
