Just dropped a demo of chrondb — a PostgreSQL-compatible database that persists everything in Git.
Connect via psql, run SQL queries, and watch your data get versioned like code.

-----------------------
Django ORM turns complex database queries into simple Python code. Instead of writing long SQL statements, you can use:
- Basic filters (filter(), exclude(), get()) to find exactly what you need.
- Smart optimisations (select_related(), prefetch_related()) to speed up your app.
- Handy tricks (annotate(), aggregate()) for calculations without extra code.

Do you like #databases? This is some interesting research into "ad hoc" transactions while using databases. It's like juggling your own locks and the database's transaction mechanism. Worth a read but it's not short. #programming #transactions https://cacm.acm.org/research-highlights/many-faces-of-ad-hoc-transactions/

What is the best free, open source program to make an Entity-Relationship Diagram of a database? Must be a local application, not web based.
Once upon a time I would have googled this but now all the results are search-engine optimized "blogs" from vendors trying to convince you their browser-based, subscripton-model app is the best option.
EDIT: One more requirement. I would like the field names and data types listed within the box for each table.
Join Peter Farkas's session "Leveraging Open Source Databases for Strategic Advantage" at #FOSSASIASummit2025 to get practical tips on choosing and migrating to open-source databases—and how they can boost your business and tech growth.

Trump’s Aggression Sours #Europe on #US Cloud Giants
Companies in #EU are starting to look for ways to ditch #Amazon, #Google, and #Microsoft cloud services amid fears of rising #security risks from US. But cutting ties won’t be easy.
Organizations appear to be reconsidering their use of these companies’ cloud services—including #servers, storage, and #databases—citing uncertainties around #privacy and data access fears under Trump administration.

Grist is the evolution of #spreadsheets.
The grist-core repo is the heart of Grist, including the hosted services offered by Grist Labs, an NYC-based company 
and Grist's main developer.

I asked for help here some months ago about one of the servers on this post that was hosted by Microsoft.
You can read about how that and other servers with infostealer logs ended up closed.
Hint: MSRC Portal is basically useless.

UPDATE: Federal court issues injunction against DOGE based on Musk Watch report
https://www.muskwatch.com/p/update-federal-court-issues-injunction
"The TRO, which expires March 10, will give the court time to make a final determination about whether #DOGE should be permitted to have access to these federal employee #databases. The court found that the plaintiffs "have shown a likelihood of success on the merits of their claim that OPM’s disclosure of their records to DOGE affiliates… violates the #Privacy Act."
