Audible just argued with me again about a previous purchase. They want to charge me for a book I bought in April. I had downloaded and read the book when it came out. I even wrote a little review of it here. I just wanted to download it again. “There is no record here,” they said. “I don’t see how that could happen,” they said. If I weren’t so mad I’d be rotfl. “Well, I am a database engineer and I know exactly how it could happen,” I said. Petty petty.

Tl;dr: if you use Audible, which is an am*z*n company, download and save your library.

Yes yes use real libraries instead.

Well it look a better part of the day and a number of trial and error (as the documentation is a bit outdated in some cases), but I got there in the end!

This was a test instance migration, and it works!

Officially now on Postgres 17.5.

Time to document it all and get some sleep as I will have to redo all this again.

Amazing guest @simon joined to talk about AI for data engineers. We skipped the hype & boosterism to dive into #PostgreSQL permissions, alt text, Pulitzer-worthy tooling, jagged frontiers, safety and security, 150-line SQL queries, GitHub Codespaces, the daily-changing capabilities of the models, & OF COURSE: pelicans on bicycles 🚲
