gollark: SQLite 3™ would never do this to me.
gollark: Every time it does a major version upgrade I have to manually run the `pg_upgrade` thing and I resent it.
gollark: Package upgrades on Arch rarely break things for me, unless they're Postgres.
gollark: My server runs Arch for stability, my laptop runs Arch for purposes, and my *cloud* servers run Alpine because they have something like 800MB of disk space for the OS.
