18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using (programming.dev)

Nextcloud asked in a poll at https://mastodon.social/@nextcloud@mastodon.xyz/115095096413238457 what database its users are running. Interestingly one fifth replied they don't know. Should people know better where their data is stored, or is it a good thing everything is running so smoothly people don't need to know what their software stack is built upon?

A Freedombox user in the wild!! I've been following the project since 2011 but I never thought it really achieved its potential. How do you use yours, and how do you find it?

I'm not a very experienced user, but I'm happy with it. I have mainly a static blog, an almost unused Nextcloud, a Matrix server (down since yesterday, I don't know why) and my calendar. It works quite well!
