@pgconfeu Great location. I couldn't figure it out myself, but the community complemented the tips, so it was more obvious.

Another day, another city... Where did we go venue spotting today? Looking forward to your guesses!

We went to scout some locations for PGDay Lowlands 2025 today. What city were we in?

@MetalClassicist And now that we are in the topic of Belgium, I really like the song Thermopilae by Ancient Rites, that you put on the Spartan Metal Mirage playlist.

@MetalClassicist Great choice!

@MetalClassicist And what was your choice for Belgium? (I'm curious because I live here now), and which Belgian beer was your choice? (beers from Belgium, wines from Chile)

@MetalClassicist If you need recommendation from Chile, go for "Pastel de Choclo" if you have time, if you don't go for "Completo" (next-level hot-dog). I think the Pastel de Choclo would be would with Carménère chilean wine.

@powerhdeleon Muy bien @powerhdeleon 🤘

He sacado mi plataforma propia de cursos, esto con la prioridad de poder hacer cursos a mi manera sin impedimento alguno y poder hacer cursos más en especifico de temas avanzados. La plataforma permite pagar suscripción con la cual podrán ver todos mis cursos (por ahora están cargados los 2 más avanzados: Clean Architecture y C# Avanzado). Puede suscribirse a un precio económico, a partir de mañana seguirán apareciendo más cursos premium en la plataforma. La siguiente semana aumentara el costo. 🤘Puede ingresar a Metal Code: courses.metalcode.io

Historical references were coming from several podcasts, especially Spartan History Podcast buzzsprout.com/685886, the book "Spartan Women" by Sarah Pomeroy goodreads.com/book/show/6775… and of course Wikipedia articles.

All Heavy Metal references are coming from the fantastic work of Dr. Jeremy Swist @MetalClassicist

Dear #postgresql folks. A whole bunch of talks from #pgconfeu has been released today, mine among those many, where I try to get some lessons from Sparta's Dual Kingship to build Postgres Active-Active systems: youtube.com/watch?v=PMJWW8… Feedback is welcome. cc @EDBPostgres

@l_avrot @pgconfeu Thanks for participating in the tournament @l_avrot , I really enjoyed watching that last game for the 3rd place against Derk.

I finished third in the chess tournament at @pgconfeu over more than thirty opponents. The level was high (higher than expected 😅). I played very interesting and complex games and was able to try out my Caro and Jobava London “in the real world”. Thanks @tchorix and Derk!

@clairegiordano @pgconfeu Thanks @clairegiordano I had a lot of fun giving this talk. I am glad to read it was useful.

I learn so much from @tchorix in every single one of his #PostgreSQL conference talks (& from every conversation for that matter) Here are the best pics I captured from Boriss’s talk at @pgconfeu #PGConfEU today, titled “Sparta’s Dual Kingship and PostgreSQL Active-Active”

Super looking forward to running this event for (aspiring) #PostgreSQL extension developers alongside @pgconfeu with David Wheeler: eventbrite.com/e/extension-ec… Excited about the support from @tembo_io, Percona.com and Xata.io

@Karenhjex @postgresqleu I like 3/Stylised elephant heads

I bought this book specifically for this chapter (preparing for a presentation next month), and happily discovered many other interesting chapters. Definitely recommended. Thank you @MetalClassicist and all the other co-authors.

Very happy to thank @intrbiz in person for all his help to @pgdaylowlands , a well deserved title "High Lowlander"

. @DevOpsBarbie rings the bell for the next talk! @pgdaylowlands #PostgreSQL
