@tig @dick_turpin they could just run Centos Stream. RedHat has invested alot in the effort it takes to make RHEL so stable. If you need that, pay for it. Otherwise use Centos or whatever other distro. They are still abiding by licences and in many cases going beyond requirements.

@dick_turpin haha, an opposition leader with a personality would help too.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@tig Having a terrible time watching it here.
