I have a system that involves a rather large and complex oracle database, and while the system as a whole is easy enough (for me) to understand, the database feels more like a black box of mysterious powers that I need some assistance wrapping my head around.

Are there any analytical tools to help with this? Ideally, I'd like a tool that would connect to the database and make a diagram over which tables connect to which other tables, as well as naming any stored procedures relevant to each. If such a tool exists, that'd be grand, but any other tools that can help breaking down this rube goldberg machine into something more digestible would be great.

And yes, it is much overdue for a postgresql successor. Getting the current contraption mapped out is the first step in building its replacement.

EDIT: Oh, and this database also interacts a lot with orasched, as well as external processes. A lot of things that should have been a cron job is now a procedure stored in the scheduler. A lot of things that should have been an external script/program is a stored procedure. And most offensive of all: many things that should have been in a config file is part of an SQL table. Whoever built this contraption must've been paid to write SQL and nothing else.

Most of it will be spent learning how to properly use Gimp

I remember some 20-30 years ago you would sometimes hear about an artist (usually musician, or a group thereof) being sellouts, or having sold out. This of course in a pejorative way, as this was the most heinous of crimes an artist could ever commit against their fan base.

However, I can't recall having heard this term for at least a couple of decades. Has the term been replaced with something else? Is it more accepted? Or is it simply so hard to make it nowadays that the concept of "selling out" is basically just synonymous with making a living?

Are there any modern examples of this and I simply missed the online chatter about it?

Recipe:

1. Burn the corners off of one sheet of paper with a lighter. I used A4, but I'm sure US Letter works too.
2. Crumple it some and then straighten it out.
3. Make some black coffee, any temperature and pour it into something that can fit the paper laying flat
4. Bathe the paper until properly stained (or to taste, I guess)
5. Roast the paper on 100 degrees C for 30 minutes with the convector fan running

The result is a perfect "treasure map" for use as a D&D prop during tonight's session with my kids.

I watched this interview earlier today, and upon hearing the studio band play that snippet of music, I immediately recognized it as something I've heard before.

I want to say that the original has a woman singing the melody?
Also, I think what we're hearing is the bridge of a song, rather than the verse or chorus.

The song starts at 1:05 in case you don't want to watch the rest of it.

EDIT: For fucks sake, of course it's Belgian techno anthem Pump Up the Jam.... I lol'd. Thanks to the responders for reminding me.

I saw a screenshot the other day of someone having tagged someone else with a note to help them recognize them later.

For example, if I wanted to tag GatoB@lemmy.world with a note of "Admits to sometimes secretly dressing up like Tarzan", so that I see it next to their name every time I read a comment/post.. how do I do this?

Bonus-question: Is this possible in my preferred app, Voyager?

Note: GatoB may or may not secretly dress up as Tarzan from time to time, I do not know. Not shaming either way.

The format of these vids is basically that a famous drummer gets to hear a drum-less version of a well known song that they haven't heard before, and they get to add a drum track.

In this video, Mike Portnoy (progmetal drummer, for those who don't know) plays Taylor Swifts (pop artist, for those who don't know) "shake it off", and it's awesome.

MP is one of my favorite drummers, and it's cool to see him play stuff he normally doesn't play. He has a few other videos like that with Drumeo too.

This video made my day.

Title. I just think ot would be fun if a journalist interviewed, for example, a famous musician, but instead of questions regarding their latest album, the interview was all about that year where they worked as a plumber.

Så satser vi på at 2025 blir et knall år.
