@ascherbaum hmm, by that logic isn't PGDay DE actually PGDay UK?

BTW, mastodon has thoroughly eclipsed Twitter as the meeting place for developers and clear-thinking users. I don't imagine you'll see too many more Twitter links from me.
@davew very much like you should not trust Open Source projects controlled by a single company.
It's a shame so many web devs enable Google by only using Chrome for dev work.
Chrome has become the new IE!
As they say: power corrupts.
Firefox has issues and need to up their game, but change is not achieved without people standing for what they believe in and making hard choices.

@vyruss will publish a new #PostgreSQL extension called pg_statviz tomorrow.
He announced it today a #fosdem #pgday .
It sounds very promising.
The extension will be published on GitHub https://github.com/vyruss /pg_statviz

The first talk of the day here at #FosdemPGDay (a #Fosdem fringe event) and Gunnar ‘Nick’ Bluth is on the #PostgreSQL stage talking about how we can learn from his big big fail, titled “LFMF: How a CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY led to a 6 hour downtime” - lots of painful laughter in the room
My post for #PGSQLPhriday where Ryan asked about using PostgreSQL for non relational data:

@dick_turpin yup, going to PGDay FOSDEM
@raphink I'd say its the new Awk rather than Sed.
@bigcalm openSUSE Tumbleweed and Microos work excellently on the RPi 4 for server tasks.
Can anyone recommend a good Android MP3/OGG player?
Preferably one which gracefully handles duplicate files and is good at handling albums. Open Source a bonus.
@popey I really like the Logitech MX Anywhere I got a while back, does both unifying receiver and BT, with a button to hop presets and a very sensibly placed charging port. Compact and still comfy.
Still seem to be a few of these: https://amzn.eu/d/6VpZ2Ui
@GossiTheDog @leak meh it sounds an accurate description of most shitty infosec sales pitches I've had to endure. Such a line never stopped the senior managers buying.
Whether it actually helped the coal face, is a totally different story.

Do y'all have any ideas on where—besides Mastodon, Twitter, LinkedIn, Planet Postgres, PostgreSQL.org, and blog posts—that I should be spreading the word about the open #CFP for Citus Con: An Event for Postgres 2023?
The #CitusCon CFP will close on Sunday Feb 5th @ 11:59pm PST.
It's a virtual dev event. The team is hoping for talk proposals about:
- #PostgreSQL #opensource
- Citus database extension
- Azure Database for PostgreSQL
- Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL
@dick_turpin 7 days and I'll be on a train to #fosdem
