lobste.rs migrates from MariaDB to SQLite

lobste.rs entered read-only mode earlier today to migrate from MariaDB to SQLite. I found that interesting and found this GitHub issue with discussion, first around moving to PostgreSQL, then about moving to SQLite: https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/issues/539

This is exactly the kind of interesting technical change that I’d like to see a lobste.rs discussion around, and I found the GitHub issue interesting to read, so I’m linking it here 🙂 Obviously don’t brigade the issue tracker, but since this isn’t about something controversial or drama, I think it should be fine to link?

If this thread steps on the toes of some official announcement, or if it still breaks the anti-brigading rules, feel free to delete this thread.
