Recently, the software world was rocked by the discovery of a backdoor in XZ Utils. The backdoor represents many stories, but behind all of them is the story of a single Postgres developer, vexed by a relatable problem: "why is it taking so long to login?!"

On the next Oxide and Friends, @ahl and I are thrilled to be joined by that developer, @AndresFreundTec, the discoverer of the XZ backdoor. Join us on April 8th at 5p Pacific to hear this extraordinary story!

@bcantrill @ahl Now we just need to avoid derailing into a heated debate about solaris/illumos being good/bad...

@AndresFreundTec @ahl I was going to say the same, but about transaction ID wraparound autovacuum!

@bcantrill @ahl There might be more agreement on that :)
