hintbits

correction: it had v30, which was 8086 rather than 8088 clone (16bit bus)

Same. I had a used Amstrad PC 1640, which had V20 @ 8Mhz and EGA graphics. The author's desire really hit home here.

It would be great if that map respected internationally accepted borders and attributed Crimea to Ukraine.

Use built-in physical replication, it works and it's good.

Patroni is widely used for automatic failover, at least where you don't want a possibility of a split brain.

They can also move to the part of Ukraine not under the occupation.

Trying to pretend it's business as usual is supporting the occupation.

Recently the German constitutional court ruled the government can't spy on foreigners outside Germany, as they enjoy constitutional protections: https://www.dw.com/en/german-intelligence-cant-spy-on-foreig...

Of course, in a democratic country where the judicial system is separated from the legislative powers one should wait for the law (or the lawsuit) to know how it is enforced in reality.

Why would the data disappear, given that it's stored on an external volume (i.e. EBS or Google Cloud Storage or just a directory on your laptop), not in the container FS?

While logical replication is a long-awaited and exciting feature, I'd use it to replicate only a subset of my database, not as a replacement for HA. At present, it cannot follow the master in a physical replication after promotion (basically, you have to initialize your logical replicas from scratch), and it has a bigger lag then the physical replication, especially for long-running transactions, as one has to wait until the commit before sending the data.

Nevertheless, I think Patroni can help configuring logical replicas that will never be part of the HA (if one can tolerate reinitializing logical replicas after failing over). Pool requests are welcome!
