Another #opensource #database turns to the dark side.
#scylladb announced discontinuing its OSS edition (AGPL license), and #relicensing the Enterprise edition to a source-available (non #FOSS) one.
Remember folks: vendor-owned open source is an oxymoron.

#emdiplomat of the day: Nils Brunell Örncrona (1673-1734)
Although we have been presenting a #diplomat every day for the last three weeks, we are not running out of ideas and have more interesting examples of diplomatic actors to fill the last few days before the holidays.
Today we want to introduce you to Nils Brunell who became a registrar at the Swedish royal chancery after he had concluded his studies at the university of #Uppsala in 1702. It was chancellor Axel Oxenstierna (1583-1654) who introduced the requirement of university studies for future civil servants in #Sweden. (1/5)

After the Charles XII’s death in 1719, as many as 159 Swedish soldiers and sailors were transferred to Hesse-Kassel. They were quartered and supplied at the expenses of the landgrave, but resident Brunell had to communicate between the two parts. Moreover, he had to figure out a plan how to bring these soldiers and sailors back to #Sweden as soon as possible. And, last but not least, he had to negotiate with the landgrave on support for his daughter-in-law, the new queen of Sweden.
This example sheds light not only on the very poorly researched connection between military issues and #emdiplomacy as well as how #emdiplomats sometimes were forced to solve exceptional situations. (4/5)

For the past decade, the Barcelona-based visual artist Xavi Bou has devoted his work to revealing “the hidden beauty of natural movement”. His initial focus was birds; now he’s moved on to insects. In collaboration with US entomologist Adrian Smith he’s created an eye-popping series that captures – by merging multiple frames into a single image – the rhythmic flutterings of butterflies and chaotic leaps of spittlebugs and treehoppers.
As well as their beauty, Bou was struck by the crucial role that insects play in ecosystems, even as their numbers plummet – it’s estimated that the biomass of flying insect species has decreased by 75% over the past 27 years. “We need to move beyond seeing insects as mere nuisances,” says Bou. “They are fascinating, essential creatures, and we owe them a great deal.”
