🚀 AWS ACM Certificate Sync Tool

AWS now lets you export certificates (aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...)! aws_cert_syncer syncs them to your servers with auto-renewal.

Perfect for hybrid setups needing ACM certs outside AWS.

Had a great time at DuckCon #6. So many cool stuff to try, like the airport extension and DuckPGQ.

Managed to do a small sports analytics meeting with @tk5.futbol !

Last but not least, we made this awesome picture with Mr DuckDB @hannes.muehleisen.org :-)

I thought this wasn't such a big deal, but it's huge. Just wasted hours on debugging. End result: order of columns was different in source tables.

DuckDB allows vertical stacking of datasets by column name rather than position. This allows DuckDB to read files with schemas that evolve over time and finally aligns SQL with Codd's relational model...

Rust + Python is such a great combi. Rust for the high performance part, python to easily glue stuff together.

Now let’s see how to integrate tokio and python asyncio

Are there any domain experts that offer a LLM trained on themselves?

Would like to pay for unlimited chatting with a @martin.kleppmann.com LLM for example :-)

Every book author should have one!

Let’s assume I have a component that produces objects. Those objects contain multiple attributes and one is a large DataFrame. I need to send the object over the network.

Are there any existing libraries that handle (de)serialization and store the DataFrame attributes in an object storage
