Can Electric Cars Actually Work in Kenya? πŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺ⚑

Are electric cars really practical in Kenya? πŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺ⚑

We visited the Kenya Power E-Mobility Expo at KICC, Nairobi to explore the future of electric transport in Kenya. From electric cars and e-bikes to charging stations and clean energy innovations, we wanted to answer one important question:

Can electric vehicles actually work in Kenya?

In this video, you’ll see:
βœ… Electric vehicles on display
βœ… EV charging technology in Kenya
βœ… Electric bikes and mobility solutions
βœ… Conversations with industry experts
βœ… The challenges and opportunities facing EV adoption
βœ… Our honest thoughts on the future of transport in Kenya

As fuel prices continue to rise and more companies invest in sustainable transport, electric mobility is becoming a major conversation across Africa. But is Kenya ready?

Watch until the end and let us know:
Would you switch from a petrol or diesel vehicle to an electric vehicle?

πŸ“ Location: KICC, Nairobi, Kenya

Memory Context is King: Why PostgreSQL Ditches malloc/free, Vaibhav Dalvi, #FOSSASIA Summit 2026

Why doesn’t PostgreSQL rely on traditional `malloc()` and `free()` for memory management? This session introduces the Memory Context system, one of the core architectural features that helps PostgreSQL remain stable, efficient, and leak-resistant as a long-running database server.

Designed for PostgreSQL developers and new contributors, this talk explains how memory lifecycle management works inside PostgreSQL, why memory contexts are essential, and how key structures such as TopMemoryContext and CacheMemoryContext organize memory allocation. You’ll also learn practical techniques for debugging memory usage and understanding PostgreSQL internals.

Whether you’re exploring PostgreSQL source code, developing extensions, or contributing to the database engine, this session provides a solid foundation for understanding one of PostgreSQL’s most important internal systems.

FOSSASIA Summit 2026 held in Bangkok, is Asia’s leading Open Source tech conference featuring sessions on #AI, #Cloud, #DevOps, #Open Hardware, #Security, #Web #Mobile Technologies, #Web3, and #Databases. Learn more: http://summit.fossasia.org

ChatLoopBackOff: Episode 78 (Cedar)

In this episode of ChatLoopBackOff, CNCF Ambassador Henrik Rexed explores Cedar for the first time. Cedar is an open-source authorization policy language designed to decouple access control from application logic.

Core Capabilities:
* Decoupled Security: Separates authorization logic from code, enabling updates without redeployment.
* Flexible Models: Supports Role-Based (RBAC), Attribute-Based (ABAC), and Relationship-Based (ReBAC) access control models.
* Mathematical Rigor: Formally verified language specification using theorem provers to ensure precise evaluation.
High Performance: Designed for real-time evaluation with bounded latency in cloud-native workloads.
* Henrik will provide a hands-on look at how Cedar functions, offering an honest, first-time assessment of its syntax and tools.

Join us on June 25, 2026, for this live dive into Cedar!
