- Dolph Schayes, All-NBA Second Team
gollark: Given the annoyances using a relational database, especially one which isn't widely-used with async (forcing me to write this stuff myself) is causing, I'm actually quite tempted to just replace the database tables with an array of dicts or something.
gollark: Oh no, the horrible concurrency bug remains unfixed.
gollark: My laptop is full-disk-encrypted anyway, I don't care.
gollark: I do generally prefer webapps.
gollark: Currently I just use a somewhat tweaked DokuWiki install, but it's big and PHP and buggy.
