@alex haha, its all RoHS, and not any whiskers yet. But you could always solder some enamel wires on for the whiskers.
@ascherbaum we could do a PGDay Crown Dependencies in Jersey.
@ascherbaum ahh you mean Falklands Island. I think you probably meant Gibraltar rather than Cyprus too.
@ascherbaum I figured you were just following something along these lines:
@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
