#Polish Foreign Minister #Radosław_Sikorski during an annual address to the lower house of the #Polish parliament:

"The times have changed. I have a message for Mr. [Alexander] #Dugin's patrons: You will never rule here again. Neither in #Kyiv nor in #Vilnius, nor in #Riga, nor in #Tallinn, nor in #Chișinău.

Don't you have enough land? 11 time zones and still not enough for you? You should rather focus on better governance of what is within your borders as recognised by international law.

Attended an event Brewing Data with Snowflake yesterday in Vilnius :blobcatnerd:

Some of they key insights:

  • Medallion Architecture (good or bad) is widespread.
  • Snowflake and Databricks are clear competitors, targeting similar landscape.
  • Open formats are trending: file format, table format, catalog, etc. - the more of them are open source, the better.
  • Time travel feature is important, many users already used it for disaster recovery.
  • Clear distinction of Storage from Compute (generic cloud approach).

Strategic Architecture Outlook

  • Agility & Future-Proofing - Open, portable data means you can adopt new technologies or switch platforms with minimal friction. No single vendor can hold your data hostage, so you can evolve vour architecture as needed.
  • Multi-Cloud and Hybrid - An open data layer can span clouds and on-prem seamlessly. You avoid cloud vendor lock-in and leverage best-of-breed services on different clouds using the same data. This flexibility is key for resilience and optimization.
  • Accelerating Innovation - When any team can access data with the tools of their choice, experimentation flourishes. Open data fosters Al/ML and cross-domain analytics since data isn't locked in silos - more innovation and insights from the same data.
  • Vendor Leverage - Strategically, using open standards increases your leverage in vendor negotiations. You car opt in or out of services more freely, pushing vendors to provide value (since you're not irreversibly locked to them).

Travelling to Lithuania by train will be easier from December 2025 thanks to the introduction of two new international train pairs. As with the existing connection from/to Kraków, a change of train sets is needed in #Mockava 🇱🇹 due to the different gauges.

One new connection will be provided between #Szczecin/ #ZielonaGóra 🇵🇱 and #Vilnius 🇱🇹 via #Warszawa, the other one only from/to #Suwałki 🇵🇱.

In #Vilnius wird heute die #Panzerbrigade45 #Heer als militärischer Großverband etabliert. Bei einem militärischen Antreten erfolgt dabei der Übergang vom Aufstellungsstab zum Brigadestab. Gleichzeitig erhält die Brigade ihr eigenes Verbandsabzeichen. Zukünftig sind unter anderem das #Panzerbataillon203 in Augustdorf und das #Panzergrenadierbataillon122 in Oberviechtach Teil der Brigade. Bis 2027 soll die Brigade in Litauen voll einsatzbereit sein.
