Hey all, the CFP is open for Citus Con: An Event for Postgres 2023.

What Postgres or Citus or PG extension story do you want to give?

Boosts are appreciated ❤️ esp. in this day & age where Twitter is no longer effective & I'm not yet connected to everyone here on Mastodon.

The event is free & virtual; it will happen in April. Because talks are recorded & published online, you'll have a bigger reach, too.

Someone we all know, and who has been part of our community for years needs help. Lady Merlin (Twitter: @ladymerlin) needs serious medical treatment.

With her disability claim being rejected, she is on the hook for medical and living expenses. She's started a GFM here:

I have just learned that I have been laid off, three days before Christmas.

I have a lot of emotions right now, but instead of airing those out I'm focusing in a more positive direction. I am looking for a full-stack engineer or back-end/front-end developer position in the information security space. I am proficient in Python, JavaScript (React, Node, Express mainly) and am getting proficient in Rust. I have my GIAC Reverse Engineering Malware (GREM) certification and am comfortable in a systems engineering role with Rust or C/C++ as well.

Contract work welcome, full-time employment preferred. Appreciate the support and hope your holidays are off to a better start than mine!

Got permission to share the direct link to my IoT Security and Privacy Legislation Webinar from Wednesday, so no need to register or anything if you wanna watch and listen to my weird half British half American accent (and also learn about the subject matter, of course):
