Financial Thinking


This section contains my thoughts and experiences on long-term investing.

I am not a trader and I don’t chase quick gains. My focus is on patience, compounding, and building wealth slowly through disciplined investing in stocks and ETFs.

I write here to document my learning journey — the mistakes, the lessons, and the ideas that shape how I think about money, risk, and the future.

The goal is simple: invest wisely today so that tomorrow is freer. Refer to Financial Thinking

Whether or not you need to lock tables while backing up MariaDB depends on a few factors, including the type of backup you are performing and the tools you are using. If you are performing a full backup , you should lock the tables to ensure that the backup is consistent. This is because a full backup copies all of the data in the database, including any data that is currently being modified by transactions. If you do not lock the tables, it is possible that the backup could contain inconsistent data. If you are performing a differential backup or an incremental backup , you may not need to lock the tables. Differential and incremental backups only copy the data that has changed since the previous backup. This means that the data is already consistent, so there is no need to lock the tables. However, some backup tools may require you to lock the tables, even if you are performing a differential or incremental backup. This is because these tools may need to modify the database in some ...

Instead, I choose to spread peace, truly listen to others, and share genuine smiles. I embrace the principle of living fully while letting others do the same. ...
