@dick_turpin they're going to ban the Tory party?
@fuzzychef honestly so much of HashiCorps ideas are so overblown, maybe this is a good thing. Never worked with such an unforgiving product set.
@fuzzychef @l_avrot ahh, in which case pgBackrest with compression or a dark fibre.
@l_avrot @fuzzychef also, strange question: is put a bigger NIC in an option? Compression is cool, but consumes alot of CPU relative to a bigger pipe.
@l_avrot @fuzzychef we did exactly this with pgBackrest. Roughly 20% changeset per day. Used pgBackrest to rebuild the test servers routinely as part of our regular processes. pgBackrest was really the only tool capable. We did use pgbasebackup for realtime replica rebuilds, but that has different tradeoffs.
Hey #Postgres people.
Do you use ±infinity in your dates and timestamps? What is your use case? What would you do instead if they weren't available?
Please boost for reach.
@alpinegreg @pwramsey IMHO the really cool thing about PostgreSQL is it's a project and not a product. This has meant lots of people contributing in different directions. Competitors collaborating together to yeild something which is better than the sum of its parts. That nature of the community has meant extensibility has always had quite high significance and enabled fast innovation.
@dick_turpin Approximately 220mm by 50mm.

Excited to report that the Wolverhampton LUG is resuming regular meetings once more.
3.5 years ago the first lock down caused us to move to virtual meetings.
It's been a long time since we've been able to talk crap for a few hours over a beer or two.
If anybody is in the region, and fancies joining us tonight: Royal Tiger, Wednesfield, 7.30pm until late.
We might even talk about Linux, but no promises.
@ascherbaum @vyruss Lore is also a rather good whisky.
@tig just depends on how much they want to trust to the weather forecast
@tig haha, to busy drinking to do that.
@tig England to push on, declare with 30 mins to go. Bowl Aus out, clearly.
