Prague by night. (Excuse the fingers, it was 7am in the morning body time after 15 hours of flights.)

Europe here I come...

Maybe I should keep some of the log files for old times' sake

I think I could probably get rid of some of these directories...

Hmm, this "typing out file management tasks" thing sounds like a nifty new innovation. Surprised it's never been tried before.

Damn, I had almost forgotten how much fun it is writing actual SQL queries...

Similarly, FTP rsync access is also no longer available.

In case anyone's wondering what's up with the PostgreSQL Git repository and "fatal: Could not read from remote repository" messages in the past couple of days, apparently the git:// protocol support has been deactivated (and might be withdrawn entirely), so you'll likely need to switch to https.

LinkedIn users not keen on it harvesting their data and content for the hallucination machine might want to disable the below setting... www.linkedin.com/mypreference...

So that's how wireless LAN packets are delivered.

"We deleted the WAL."

Never even occurred to me to check if "which" takes any options.

Good to see more PostgreSQL channels moving away from the social media site formerly known as Twitter. www.postgresql.eu/news/social-...

Programming languages: "We are just a way to operate computers in a way that makes sense to humans." Programming languages [takes a big joint hit]: "What if there were 5 kinds of nothingness?"

3993 days? fscking hell.

Engaging in another round of Obsolete Tech Disposal. Incredibly, I have a purchaser for this ca. 2009-era motherboard.

Don't think I need that any more...

I always knew there was a reason why I don't have my web app execute user-provided referer strings in a shell session.

I've wasted too much time trying to do things in No SQL document databases like Mongo. Would have been far better to default to PostgresSQL / SQLite. If one thing you build turns out to be better suited to something else you can change it later. More difficult to go the other way. Just use SQL.

Wow, there is such a thing as a "Vim Conference" and it's in Tokyo. vimconf.org/2024/

🤣

Fond memories of the time when XML databases were the next thing...

Tap tap, is this thing still working?
