@mmramadan496 Calling these "alpha releases" suggests they're not ready for testing, but the post implies you're already looking for feedback, which is more of a beta mindset.

#Tennessee sucks. The #governor just passed a law creating a #public #database of #trans #people. I don't even have the words to describe just how incredibly cruel and fucked up this is.Not only is this the first time the state has tried this, medical #information will be collected (major HIPAA violation), and the database will be publicly available.Arguably, this is the worst and most dangerous anti-trans law in the country and jeopardizes the #safety, privacy, and well being of trans people. https://theneedlenews.com/2026/05/tennessee-governor-lee-signs-law-creating-public-database-of-trans-people-a-deep-dive/#news #transrights #health #privacy #lgtbqia #medical #unitedstates #america #uspol #hate #hipaa

@yehor This is your reminder that nobody cares about backups but restores are very important.

As of 1 January 2027, our university will cancel its licence for the Web of #Science database. This decision follows careful consideration of rising costs, content overlap with other available databases, and a commitment to #OpenResearch information. https://www.rug.nl/library/news/20260420-end-web-of-science#database #OpenScience #information

Vacation's over.After another downsizing at my previous employer I find myself looking for new challenges.I'm a programmer/admin with 30 years of professional experience in Linux. I have built full SAAS platforms and technical teams.My passion is performance, and I have a track record of making DBMS systems do as they are told at both vertical and extremely horizontal scales.All this while having an eye on system security.If you're thinking "I have this need, but I'm not sure if it's possible", I can tell you if it's possible, and make it happen from the ground up if necessary.#getFediHired #database #linux
