Buenas de nuevo. Hace unos días se me ocurrió que podía estar bien tener un script para sincronizar los cumpleaños, que guardo en mis contactos, a un calendario, para poder verlo en todos los dispositivos que necesite. Y sí, sé que muchas aplicaciones de calendario lo hacen automáticamente, y que Nextcloud también lo incluye, pero mi entorno ahora mismo es Baïkal, Davx⁵ y Fossify Calendar.

This post covers some settings I have discovered about SQLite these days that help it perform better without losing consistency. The official reference and the sources of my discoveries will be listed in the References section below. This will be a short one, mainly to help future me, but also for anyone planning to use SQLite in production (including me). Configuring SQLite A few days ago I thought SQLite didn’t need any configuration but oh boy was I wrong. ...
