Vim Terminal Mode - A short introduction

Vim has a Terminal Mode!

Since v8.1 (May 2018), Vim has shipped with a built-in terminal. See https://vimhelp.org/terminal.txt.html or type :help terminal for more info.

Why use this? Mainly because it saves you jumping to a separate terminal window. You can also use Vim commands to manipulate a shell session and easily transfer clipboard content between the terminal and files you're working on.

PostgreSQL 13 Master-Slave Streaming Replication

PostgreSQL 13 Master-Standby Streaming Replication

PostgreSQL has various types of replication available and it could be a little bit confusing to figure out what has to be done to just configure a simple master-standby replicated database setup. Digging my way through documentation I decided to write my own little guide on how to setup simple replication in PostgreSQL 13.

How it works

Streaming replication works by streaming the contents of WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) file from one server to another. Each transaction is first written into the WAL file, so essentially every change on the primary server will be replicated on the standby server. Standby server could be used for read-only operations, but can't be written to. Ofcourse, transferring data over the network takes time and there is a small lag before data written to one server becomes available on the other. To guarrantee data consistency on both servers at the time of read operation we can enable synchronous replication mode. This way, datab
