Thread: Anyone have a contact at Home.PL in Poland?
Apparently this megahost in Poland has 40K vulnerable servers. Would be great to contact them and get them do update. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

Seems like they already know about that. There is info at https://pomoc.home.pl/komunikaty/914 that they are going to update Postgres to 9.0.13 in a couple of days.

Now if only we can get them to not have 5432 be world-accessible ... -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

Seems like for shared hosting there is no way to block that port as they give users access to Postgres to use tools like pgAdmin. What a great idea :)

Szymon, Depesz, Given that we clearly have 1000's of PostgreSQL users in Poland, why don't we have one or more PUGs there? And, maybe, pg.EU 2015 in Warsaw? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

What a great idea :) You can use SSH tunneling to use pgAdmin from other sites without exposing 5432 itself to the internet. That said, it would be really nice if pgAdmin could set up the tunnel itself, which even MySQLWorkbench can do, rather than needing one to manually start an SSH tunnel first for each usage. Much more user-friendly. -- Darren Duncan

1. I don't really believe in those 1000s of users of Pg in Poland.
I think it's more likely that home.pl/netart turn this service on by
default, so it looks like it's there, but i would guess that many
(most?) of it aren't used.
2. there is no pg users group in .pl, so there is not really anybody
that could organize it. (and no, I do not volunteer, my social skills
are way underdeveloped for this)
On the other hand - maybe I'm wrong. It's "just" a matter of finding the
right person(s) to start pgug, and then organizing stuff.
Best regards,

I think the same. Home.pl just gives such a database to each client, and I think most of them are not used, so in fact there are no 1000s os Postgres users here.
I don't vounteer as well, I've got no experience in organizing such events, however the idea of having EU 2015 in Warsaw is quite nice :)
