My talk for Posette this year will be about "pgvector for Python developers" - two of my current fav things. The conf is virtual and free, so join us on June 12th!
⚠️ I am aware there are still issues with mstdn.social and I'm still working on fixing it all❤️
Everything should work as intended except sometimes things could be a little slow :sad_cat:
I've been in talks with the devs for some days to try and solve this issue and we'll keep going until it's fixed
All I ask is a little understanding and patience :cat_hug_triangle: I'll be posting less since I'm working on this from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep again but do know I'm working on it!
On june 5th, @yannis will show how to use #openai's GPT-4 and Embedding APIs to implement a semantic search system in #rubyonrails using the pg_vector #PostgreSQL extension and the neighbor gem.
🥗 He will illustrate this with concrete examples from MyFoodRepo, the application he is currently working on.
🚀 I just published a short guide explaining how to upgrade PostgreSQL 🐘 from version 15 to 16 just after an upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) 🦘
I have a home server with various services running (all isolated with different user accounts). The server has a small SSD and a big external HDD, but I'd like to make external backups to my cloud account. The cloud service has a proprietary command line application to sync data, so backups would ideally be date separated compressed tar files that it can then sync. An additional complication are PostgreSQL and SQLite databases that can't just be copied without risking breaking the integrity of the files.
How would you do the backups? Do you have some existing app that you could suggest? I'm sure I can whip up some script to do it, but I wouldn't mind if there was something already made.

Restic is a command line tool that supports a lot of storage solutions S3, SFTP, DAV, etc. There are some beta UI but I run it in scheduled jobs using a systemd timer. It can encrypt the data. For the database: postgresql have a backup tool to dump the databases to a file that then you can backup with the rest (I keep 7 local copies) #restic#backup#postgresql
After an 8-year break from web development, I evaluated modern tech stacks to build my personal projects in 2024. This post chronicles my journey in selecting the perfect combination of backend, frontend, database, and hosting.
