On Tuesday, we had our last meetup of 2025, and we want to thank everyone who attended, and who supported us during 2025.

Here as the presentation slides (Jay, thank you for sharing!):

It has been a while since last time I blogged about any real-life mysteries I resolved. Here is one which I am really happy about, because it took a while and it was not obvious. Before that, I didn't know how to read WAL files, and now I do!
