The EU CRA is now official, and it targets the industry’s weakest link: the supply chain. If your product uses third-party components, you are now legally responsible for their security posture.

3 essentials to know:
CE Marking: Mandatory conformity for software.
Duty of Care: Legal liability for the entire lifecycle.
Transparency: You can’t secure what you can’t see.

Is the CRA a bottleneck or a structural opportunity for your team?

What is the future for MySQL?

While PostgreSQL has thrived in recent years, MySQL has languished. MySQL backers are coming together to change that.

Sunday morning lazing catching up on reading and planning out a talk I'm giving and wondering how many references to #Disney and #EPCOT can I fit in or add as imagery and seeing if I can hide them as a hidden mickey referene or would they be lost....
