Anotherg great talk at @fosdempgday on the Postgres extensions tdigest and ddsketch. The maths was genuinely engaging, and these advanced statistical analysis tools and performance metrics will take a bit of time to fully assimilate—but it was inspiring nonetheless. I always enjoy a good mathematical challenge. Thanks @tomasv

Thanks @xxorde for the great talk at @fosdempgday on zero downtime upgrades.. This is an extremely important topic, and the overview of glibc and collation problems is both clear and insightful. The work GitLab has done around upgrade best practices—particularly aiming for near-zero-downtime upgrades—is genuinely impressive. Many thanks for sharing the Ansible playbooks and for such thorough, transparent documentation of your upgrade processes.

Excited to co-lead the AVG Creation Devroom at #FOSDEM 2026 with @pscherbaum !

Open-source creative tools are powerful, but they still need better onboarding, visibility, and docs.
If you work with #Blender, #GIMP, #Inkscape, #Krita, #Darktable, #Audacity or any OSS creative tool—

Honoured to be leading with @pscherbaum the #AVG Creation Devroom at #FOSDEM 2026.

My open-source roots are Linux/BSD + Postgres/MySQL, but I’ve spent years ranting (lovingly!) about the Linux desktop + open-source Audio/Visual/Graphics tools.

Amazing projects — but they need better docs, better marketing, and easier onboarding.

So excited to help push things forward.

#Blender #GIMP #Inkscape #Darktable, #Audacity and much much more!

Thank you!
