@natania Right? But nuclear war's back on the table, so situation way more normal.

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.

@robotfactory @blogwash I'm now going to change the way I speak about security at work to focus on booping.

@rabbisandra this morning I'm reading Strongmen by Ruth Ben-Ghiat. I keep struggling with the idea that these tactics work, but the stories of these dictators are all basically the same and it looks just like what the far right is trying to do in America and I still can't entirely figure out what would have stopped them, because the water warms slowly before it boils. I also don't understand if the tactics used by our civil rights leaders would have worked in those places and times, which makes me wonder if they can work here, now. Maybe there's a moment now where it would, and maybe it will become too late at some moment that might not be foreseeable. I don't know how to interact with people who want to drive our country into totalitarianism but who are great neighbors. They look very different to me when I wonder how many Mussolini supporters were lovely to the neighbors who looked enough like them.

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:

@JulieTheCranky your content is the stuff I miss most from the birb site. Where are you getting up to mischief these days?

@natania the younger dog insisted that we go out before sunrise this morning. Everyone else in the house has gone back to sleep. If I could choose, I'd have done what they did.

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!
