This morning I am pissed off enough at computers to consider ditching Ubuntu, rewriting all of my Perl stuff in something else, and adopting a no-database solution.

Like headed to *BSD pissed off or headed to Debian pissed off?

Oh... and on no databases...
My last software product/company I sold out of in 2019 was heavily multi-tenant (x,000 installs) and we ended up doing it with sorted UTF-8 flat files we binary searched through and no database. It made sense at the very beginning because it was essentially a prototype but kept scaling sufficiently that it just didn't matter. Having each customers flat files in their own directory was so, so nice.

Might be "headed to *BSD" pissed off. But even that probably doesn't solve the bit-rot problem.
And the database issue is just a big ol' reminder that databases are fine, but everything needs a text backup. Also, I need to fix the search on Flutterby, probably by not trusting the database so much.
