Erlang Solutions: Change data capture with Postgres & Elixir
CDC is the process of identifying and capturing data changes from the database.

With CDC, changes to data can be tracked in near real-time, and that information can be used to support a variety of use cases, including auditing, replication, and synchronisation.

A good example of a use case for CDC is to consider an application which inserts a record into the database and pushes an event to a message queue after the record has … ⌘ Read more

Snikket: F-Droid security update
Last week, Snikket Android users who installed the Snikket app via F-Droid
started receiving a warning that it contained a
security vulnerability. This wasn’t entirely accurate, as the problem wasn’t
with the Snikket app itself but specifically F-Droid’s own build of the app
that was using an outdated version of the WebRTC library.

Like many communication apps, Snikket uses WebRTC for audio and video calls.
We’ve been working on finding a … ⌘ Read more

@eaplmx@twtxt.net This exact thing happened to me last night. I happened to be watching some random Youtube video, then this Ad came on, normally they are short 3-5s ads and I just tolerate them (sometimes) – But this particular ad was 20+ mins long! Somehow I kept listening to it too, despite my daughter telling me I could hit that “Skip Ad” button.

What was it you ask?! 😅 It was one of those testimonial-style, hyped up marketing videos of some product called “Gemini 2” (a currency trading app, allegedly), I kept watching all the way through, it was fantastic! 🤣

Then I went and read up on it! …

Short answer: TOTAL FUCKING SCAM 🤣
