We’re excited to announce our #PGConfEU 2025 keynote speaker — Karen M. Sandler, attorney and Executive Director of the Software Freedom Conservancy!
In her talk “The Foundation of Open Source: Why Software Freedom?” Karen will explore why software freedom is essential to modern computing and everyday life — and why it’s the cornerstone of open source projects like PostgreSQL.
📅 Don’t miss it — join us in Riga next week!

@ascherbaum that date doesn't look right. That seems to be the CFP close date.
@nixCraft it was a shame HP killed the Palm Pre, truly ahead of it's time.
If we can bring the web back and get more companies to do propper web apps, then another Linux based phone might stand a chance.
@Lightfighter @nixCraft they were using Upstart back then. The Palm Pre shipped with Upstart as the init / service manager.

🎙️ New #TalkingPostgres #podcast Ep32 just published!
Boriss Mejías @tchorix of EDB explored the Fundamental Interconnectedness of All Things as a methodology for working with Postgres—& we connected lots of things, from WAL files to jazz to database modeling to synchronous replication and OpenAI
Boriss is a fabulous human & it was such a happy thing that he joined me on this podcast episode! I am happy with the conversation & I hope y'all are too!
Listen wherever you get your podcasts—and tell your #database & #OpenSource & #Postgres friends!

I had a lot of fun talking to you Claire. Thanks for the invitation. I also wrote something about what inspired this topic https://dev.to/bmejias/how-i-learned-to-embrace-my-chaotic-brain-4m3e
I hope the episode is useful to #PostgreSQL folks and anyone actually.

+ btw this is how they’re talking in DHH’s official Omarchy discord.
They fully know what it’s all about. There’s no ambiguity here.

Hack of age verification firm may have exposed 70,000 Discord users’ ID photos

@bigcalm similar reason to why I have an iPhone buried somewhere.
When it comes to testing the containers, it should mostly be about pulling / building an AArch64 image too.
But there are ways to run things under X86 emulation, which you probably want to avoid.
@bigcalm you accidentally put your Linux PC into an Apple box?
@tdp_org I think the approach in most other SQL databases and better aligning to the standard, would be for that to be part of the predicate.
IE: select ... from dataset where service = x and ...
And partitioning taking care of where the data actually lives.
To me 'dataset.*' feels odd, since querying all tables in a schema makes no sense to me.

Tell your database friends! Or your Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy friends... #OpenSource #podcast #Postgres #database
@etchedpixels @neil I always saw the success of Arduino as being building an ecosystem with low barrier to entry via free tooling and sdks, not the hardware.
I bet many ESPs and PIs are programmed via Arduino cores.
So it feels like Arduino as an ecosystem can survive, regardless of who might make some boards or publish the IDE.
And finally, Matt Gardener talking about isolation levels, and why Serializable is worth considering, at the PostgreSQL London Meetup.
Simon Notley kicking off tonights PostgreSQL London Meetup, talking about (Impractical) PostgreSQL Query Performance Monitoring.
