Simple programming question.


Question

Hello guys.

 

Let say I have a two Ubuntu Linux servers. One is the database and the second is WordPress (PHP). Suppose that I know lets say Python. Can I make a new server and connect to the same database and do some work on it without effecting the WordPress?

 

Thanks,

I think it depends on what you want to do. If you want to edit the WordPress database directly, you may end up impacting your WordPress by changing data. If you create a second database on the database server, the databases won't interfere with each other.

If you have control of the 3 servers, you can do anything you want. You can install a variety of OSS DB software such as Neo4j, Apache Giraph, Apache Ignite, Maria DB, Cassandra, CarbonData, Apache Arrow, InfluxDB, Presto DB, Vitess, etc etc

 

At the opposite end, if you are using some sort of hosting plan with one free database plan provided then you may not even be able to make a separate database within the typical cheapo MySQL hosting plan usually included. In that case you need to make new SQL Tables with names that won't conflict with Wordpress.

 

Other side effects would be performance issues if your servers  have any real world usage load.

 

FWIW, nobody designs software applications around servers anymore - find hosting that is  based on Docker Containers for fine grained control, and there is even a growing trend to Serverless Architectures, for example OpenFAAS

    • Facebook's mobile app is finally getting support for passkeys by Usama Jawad Companies and social media platforms are embracing passkeys more readily nowadays. Microsoft made new accounts passwordless by default just last month, Windows 11 has supported passkeys for quite a while, and Google hasn't been left behind either. Interestingly, while passkeys work on WhatsApp too, Facebook hasn't enjoyed the same functionality, even though both apps are owned by the same parent company, Meta. Well, that changes today. Meta has announced support for passkeys in Facebook's mobile app. For those unaware, passkeys are essentially an alternative for passwords, as they allow you to sign in to a service securely using the same means that you use to unlock your device. This includes biometric authentication mechanisms such as facial and fingerprint recognition, as well as PIN. Since you don't need to memorize or externally store a complex password, and the methods highlighted above can't be easily duped, you effectively become more secure when you leverage passkeys. Passkeys were developed by the FIDO Alliance, and Meta is a member of this collective too. Apart from highlighting the benefits of passkeys, such as being pretty much immune to phishing and password spray attacks, Meta has revealed that they are coming to the Facebook mobile app on Android and iOS. They will also be arriving on Messenger in the next few months, and both services will share the same passkey for a more streamlined experience. Meta will also allow customers to utilize this passkey to securely autofill payment information when leveraging Meta Pay. Customers can head over to the Accounts Center in the Settings area to create and manage their passkey, or alternatively, they'll also be prompted to create one when they log in to Facebook next. It is important to note that Meta isn't doing away with passwords on Facebook just yet, as all devices may not be compatible with passkeys.
    • The fact it will show both "real" frames along with generated frames in the bar is amazing. Do we have confirmation if it works across all types - FSR, DLSS, DLSS MFG, XeFG?
