There is a better way than fully copying table content one by one which is very I/O heavy and will not work if you have very large tables.
You can create a replication slot, take a snapshot, restore the snapshot to a new instance, advance the LSN and replicate from there - boom, you have a logical replica with all the data. Then you upgrade your logical replica.
This article from Instacart shows how to do it: https://archive.ph/K5ZuJ
If I remember correctly the article has some small errors but I haven't done this in a while and I don't exactly remember what was wrong. But in general the process works, I have done it like this several times upgrading TB-sized instances.

Is it at all possible to use these photonic molecules as alternative explanation to universe mass instead of dark matter / dark energy?

Getting transaction data from banks is hard. Especially timely data. Luckily both my banks have the option for a notification email being sent immediately after each Visa or checking account transaction.
Using n8n I can parse those emails and put the data into a nice Airtable base (and a csv for backup). Next step, is to add GPS co-ordinates to each transaction.
Does anyone know if there is a way to run a secure and private location tracking service to my iPhone, or is my only hope to pay Apple the annual fee and do it myself?
(Yes: I wrote "secure and private location tracking" with a straight face - I'm hoping there's a solution out there)
You can use Shortcuts app to send messages with current location to yourself

It might be your social cycles, or communities you are most attached to online.
People around me read, write, go to cinema and watch movies with commentary, paint, play sports, build legos and doing all kind of interesting things.
I personally draw and paint, am learning piano, practice photography, read, write, take various classes as a hobby and probably something else that does not appear as something special. Zero interest of changing career into any of those things, as I enjoy my long, more than 20 years, career in software, and do not see any reasons to switch fields.
When I was growing up it was called being well-rounded person. My observation about some folks around who are younger than me is that there are a lot of them who are a bit more shallow and not really interested in going broad and explore things around, I can relate to it thought, as it is really hard to be dedicated in this ocean of information we have now.
On the other hand I know non-trivial number of 20-25 year olds who traveled more than me, or have more hobbies or do more than one thing well and are dedicated to learning and self-development. Although, most of them are from privileged families, by at least the fact of being California based, or in extreme cases having parents that are doing really well.
Highly recommend Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI watercolors.
