  3. It's : why not explore using QR codes to backup & restore a DB?

    @c2main wrote about it last April Fool's: a joke, but also it's "...a reminder that PostgreSQL’s flexibility extends even into the absurd. Air-gapped systems aren’t rare...when normal tooling fails, PostgreSQL’s pluggable architecture gives you room to innovate, even in the tightest constraints."
