Tested out the new ZSTD backup compression in SQL Server 2025. Was pretty impressed with the output so wrote a quick blog to share the test results. Am quite impressed with the effective throughput/speed improvements!

With the #SQLServer2025 announcement, wanted to share a Quick Start step-by-step guide to getting Ollama running on your local PC, that'll get you up and running quickly to play around with Vector Search functionality!

Let's try to give this place another go around.
Glad that there's a "mute words" function to help filter to maintain my mental sanity.
Here, enjoy a #SebastianTheDog photo. #SomethingPositive
A menorah lit for the first night of #Hanukkah is on a black table. In front of it are two bowls of Chinese food. Behind the table, Sebastian the dog is held up so you can't see who's behind him.
Happy 1st night of #Hanukkah from me, @sqlbek.bsky.social, and #SebastiantheDog
