I'm thrilled that @oracleace.bsky.social has promoted me to ACE Pro. Thank you so much! 🥳

✨ Wipr 2.30.2 is out now! ✨ Lots of Extra fixes, and assorted Filtr improvements: bug fixes, refined diagnostics, and UI tweaks. Filtr is already blocking much more than it did at launch, thanks to your reports 🙏 For those who observe it, enjoy the weekend! kaylees.site/wipr2.html

Finally managed to upload my slides for #DOAGDB26! So if you missed my talk, you can download the pdfs now. Also both of the videos are online :)

RU 19.31 has been put on hold and will be available soon again Since several people mailed me yesterday and this morning about Release Update 19.31 been not available for download from My Oracle Support, here is a the explanation about why RU 19.31 has been put on hold and will be available soon…

I love macOS as a desktop environment, but modern CLI tools keep pulling me back into the terminal. lazygit, nvim, etc. are just so fun - especially in Ghostty.

Come on … files in /etc/sudoers.d can't have a dot in their name. Some arbitrary decision causing wasted time for debugging again *sigh*.

Will this stupidity called DST ever be abolished in the EU before I die? Nobody wants or needs that shit…

Sometimes, when writing OCI IAM policies the policy documentation might not be enough. isdba.de/blog/2026-03...

python is such a mess. Trying to use a recent Ansible version with some OL8 systems for management of rpm packages with the dnf module and it fails miserably using standard installations …

Avoid connect storms with CMAN. Don't use next_hop with retry parameters #Oracle isdba.de/blog/2026-03...

I'm happy to announce that I will be speaking about Oracle GI 26ai and Oracle Database Exadata @ Azure at DOAG Database ’26. Hope to see you there ;) #DOAGDB2026

While waiting for the 26ai download to appear, I took time to write something about external certificates and keys in the oracle wallet. isdba.de/blog/2026-01...

So the Oracle January ’26 patch update note is out now – let’s see when the on-prem download will be available.

Im neuen Blogbeitrag berichtet @isdba.de aus der Praxis, wie der Aufbau eines Exadata@Azure-Clusters per Code fast an einem unscheinbaren Parameter gescheitert wäre und wie sich das Problem am Ende überraschend einfach lösen ließ. www.robotron.de/unternehmen/...

Replacing spaces in a variable in Makefiles is a special kind of thing …

From top AI coding user globally to completely stop using it because it's so much harder to review AI code than write it myself. And they say all software developers jobs will be replaced by LLM. Life comes fast at you. 🤣

No idea anyone?

Hey folks, since we have the shiny new MOS now, does anybody know where the ASR enabled systems went?

Lately I discovered Ghostty and I begin to find that really nice. If you're on macOS, it's worth a try. It's not perfect yet, but already has some advantages over Terminal.app. ghostty.org

The support note we all are monitoring finally got updated. #oracle

The wait is (nearly) over! Oracle AI Database 26ai EE for Linux x86-64 will be released on premises in the next RU (23.26.1), due January 2026 Read full details at blogs.oracle.com/database/ora...

One nice thing about cloud deployments is you don‘t need to wait for the network guys. Don‘t know how much time I wasted waiting for misconfigured network trunks to be fixed …

The ovirt terraform/tofu plugin would need some love. It doesn't support shared disks and the last release is from 2 years ago … days should have more than 24 hours.

My editor saga continues and currently I‘m trying zed which feels like VSCode but is way faster. Also it‘s easier to use than helix and has extensions/plugins. zed.dev

Last day of #DOAG2025 and third day in a row you can see me on stage. Today is about all about TLS certificates in OCI. Also don't miss the sessions with my colleagurs @dbamarco.bsky.social and @joergsobottka.bsky.social.

Guten Morgen #DOAG2025! Vermisst: Ein schwarzer Stift fürs iPad ✍️ Falls gefunden, bitte beim DOAG-Stand im 1. Stock abgeben. Danke!

Zwei Clouds, ein Ziel: @isdba.de und Sinan Petrus Thoma zeigen ab 14 Uhr in Raum Neu‑Delhi, wie Oracle Exadata Cloud Service und Azure erfolgreich zusammenspielen. Echte Projekterfahrung, praktische Learnings zeigen Multicloud, wie sie sein sollte. #DOAG2025 #Multicloud #OracleDatabase

Oracle introducing diamond class for MAA #DOAGDB

Cloud heißt Vertrauen. Besonders, wenn es um Daten geht. @isdba.de zeigt in seinem Vortrag OCI Security Basics, wie Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Sicherheit praktisch umsetzt: von Zugriffskontrolle bis Datenschutz, mit klaren Beispielen statt Kryptodschungel. Los geht’s um 16 Uhr! #DOAG2025

The first day of #DOAG25 again started very activating. As always it was a great pleasure to start early with @dbamarco.bsky.social #doagrunning

🎤 Don’t miss DOAG Konferenz + Ausstellung 2025 — Nov 18–21, the premier event for database technologies in the German-speaking region! Join #OracleACE experts and industry leaders for in-depth sessions on Oracle tech, modern IT trends, open source, and more. 👉 anwenderkonferenz.doag.org/de/home/

Finalizing my #DOAG25 slides the coming days for DOAG next week. First time with 3 speeches and happily looking forward to meeting the crowd again. @oracleace.bsky.social

Now that the time has been reset to default in Germany, could we please now stop that DST nonsense? Please? 🥺

So helix is definitly easier to setup than neovim as it just works effortlessly without any package manager orgy. At least using it for go and markdown seems to be as fun as with VSCode, but without the AI bloat 🙃

Hm, VSCode updates seem to be only about "AI" and "Chat" features lately. Time to look for alternatives and Helix looks promising. helix-editor.vercel.app
