Postgres is a great pub/sub & job server
If you need a publish/subscribe or job server at any point in your project, try using Postgres. It'll give you lots of data integrity and performance guarantees, and it doesn't require you or your team learning any new technology.

France to send its last captive orcas to marine park, not sanctuary
The French government recently announced it has greenlit a plan to send its last captive cetaceans — two orcas and 12 dolphins — to zoos and entertainment parks in Spain. These cetaceans live in the Marineland Antibes park on the French Riviera, which closed in 2025. In 2021, France passed a law banning the breeding […]

Apple already has it since they have my mobile devices, so if they were going to maliciously steal (e.g.) my email contents, they could already do that. This opens the door to a whole bunch of LLM data based interrogation that I wouldn't trust with other providers.
…on the other hand, the "on-device only" Siri falls over immediately when disabling the internet c…

Installed in 2021, local officials now say that there has been a “substantial reduction” in casualties for the endangered species.

Honestly, what kind of scam #Akamai / #LInode is? They give you a form to report malicious activity from their network, you file it, you get "Error message to be decided", and it turns out they've banned you in the meantime; all their websites give you "Access denied".
And they host an exploit since 2021 at least: #security #abuse
