i think the real takeaway is that postgres devs aren’t fucking around when it comes to performance

This is a bad take. I'd like to see the OpenSSF show a bit more empathy. A badge isn't going to stop this sort of attack.

Was the xz backdoor discovery and mitigation down to luck? Of course it was — the kind of luck that would have helped absolutely zilch if it weren't for supremely competent people who built, defined, and followed the processes and practices to make exactly that kind of luck useful.

I accidentally found a security issue while benchmarking postgres changes.

If you run debian testing, unstable or some other more "bleeding edge" distribution, I strongly recommend upgrading ASAP.

This is the best pic I have of the late Simon Riggs who passed away yesterday 26 Mar 2024. 💔 Simon's far-reaching influence in the Postgres world changed the course of so many lives. I took this photo when Simon was giving his Postgres keynote at #PGConfEU 2023 last December in Prague. RIP Simon, you will be missed by so many people, whose hearts are broken right now 💔
