  • I think a lot of comments here miss the mark, it’s not really just about stating the gov does not use SQL or speculation regarding keys.

    Deduplication is generally part of a compression strategy and has nothing to do with SQL. If we’re being generous he may have been talking about normalization, but no one I have ever met has confused the two terms (they are distinctly different from an engineering perspective).

    There are degrees of normalization too, so it may make total sense to normalize 3NF (third normal form) rather than say 6NF depending on the data.

    focused on stability and is not as up-to-date as other distros

    This community really should stop FUD peddling about debian.

    stable is not the only debian release, and there are multiple ways to pull newer package versions. For instance, anyone who can read a manual can run a cutting edge rolling release debian box with this simple incantation:

    sudo sed -i 's/bookworm/sid/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
    

    stable is their default, but debian can be just as “up-to-date” as you want it to be.
