PostgreSQL maintainer Simon Riggs has died in a small airplane crash, on Tuesday.

For those who didn't know Simon, he's responsible for PostgreSQL Binary Replication and many big data features. He and I worked together at Greenplum 2006-2008. Postgres would not be the world-leading DB it is today if it weren't for him.

I dunno why this meme makes me laugh so much, but it still does.

I present to you: a case study in bad #graphic #design. One could teach a whole week of design class using this.

Should I start a Mastodon instance that is just for OSS project official accounts? This seems to be a need.

If you manage an official oss project account and would be interested in this, please comment.

One of the major, major benefits of #Mastodon that we don't talk about enough is the ability to choose what you see. I get the people I follow, roughly in the order they posted. Which is what I want and what 99% of social media users want.

Thinking of this because I use #Instagram for my art business (no choice), and Insta's algorithm just glitched again and is only showing posts from 2-3 weeks ago. And I have a sale coming up this weekend.

So, I wanna explain why #Hashi's "commercial use" restriction means a proprietary license.

Theoretically, if you were using their project to work on an OSS project that you gave away for free, it wouldn't apply to you, right?

Well, no.

Take, for example, the Kubernetes Project. Kubernetes is a free, open source project, owned by a nonprofit. We also use Terraform to support our infra in a couple places.

Should be fine, right? Nope!

If you have #domains hosted with #Gandi, you need to check your mail from them. They are eliminating the mailbox service at the end of this month; any domains where you were hosting email at Gandi, you need to get an email account elsewhere. #DNS

Nice example of #OpenSource working how it's supposed to:

When #Github decided to stop supporting the #Atom code editor, a team forked the project and kept it going as the #Pulsar editor.

This is why right-to-fork is the key open source right.

For the first time yesterday, I had a Mastodon follower show up at a show and buy something.

I feel like that's some kind of milestone.

I know this is a losing battle, but:

Business Source License is BUSL, not BSL.

The BSL is the Boost Software License, a perfectly legit, and (importantly) actually open source license.

Facebook Threads is not available in the EU, because they won't comply with the GDPR. Consider that before trying it out.

So, for today's holiday, a story about the "hero" Chris Columbus:

In 1503, Columbus shipwrecked on Jamaica. The Taino people there hosted him and his crew and supported them for a year, until another Spanish ship found them and took them home.

In return for this hospitality, Chris came back with armed ships and enslaved the entire population of the island.

#Fosstodon moderators:

This is an attempt to make you aware that Kev's behavior is in danger of destroying Fosstodon. OSS projects are leaving, and you're in danger of being blocked by multiple other large instances.

I'm not going to contact you using any of your moderation contact info, because I know that I'll just get Kev. You have a toxic leader on your hands, and you either do something about it, or you lose the whole thing.
