PostgreSQL is Turing complete, so I guess they do what ever they want?

A light mode would be great. I know that many people ask for a dark mode for the reason that they think that a light mode is more tiring than a dark mode but for me it is the opposite.

Getting your house raided is trouble/punishment... So no the one that called him a dick also got into trouble.. and obviously such events discourage people from expressing their opinions.

(1) Calling a politician a dick is vandalism? That's nonsense.

(2) The corresponding prosecutor made clear that his house was raided for calling the politician stupid and NOT for anything else. You would have known that if you would have read the document I linked to. To quote it:

  Wegen des Tatverdachts einer gegen Personen des politischen Lebens gerichteten
  Beleidigung gem. §§ 185, 188, 194 StGB erfolgte am vergangenen Dienstag, 12.11.2024, eine
  richterlich angeordnete Durchsuchung der Wohnung des Beschuldigten durch Polizeibeamte
  der Kriminalpolizei Schweinfurt
Translated to english:

  Due to suspicion of an offence of insulting persons in political life
  pursuant to Sections 185, 188, 194 of the German Criminal Code (StGB), a
  judicially ordered search of the accused's apartment was carried out last Tuesday, November 12, 2024, by police officers
  from the Schweinfurt Criminal Investigation Department.
(3) He is in trouble in terms that there is an police investigation against him and no it is not okay to have police investigations just because a person expressed his worries about migration.

So, yes my links support my assertion.

No, it is not. I'm also german and rt.com is DNS blocked by the Telekom.

  dig @192.168.2.1 rt.com

Germany uses DNS blocks.. So you can circumvent the censorship by using a DNS provider different than the DNS provider of your ISP.

Well, you have a point but on the other side since about 20 years the Telekom does not even think about improving the internet connection in the place I live. At some point you're just fed up. To me it seems like they just do not care about providing a good service and even if they would now provide a good service I would be more willing to give my money someone else.

I just want to share my thoughts about this topic:

Personally I think the right approach is to treat the llm like a user.

So if we pretend that you would like to grant a user access to your database then a reasonable approach would be to write a parser (parsing > validating) to parse the sql commands.

You should define the parser such that it only uses a subset of sql which you consider to be safe.

Now if your parser is able to parse the command of the llm (and therefore the command is part of the subset of sql which you consider to be safe) then you execute the command.
