Objectively speaking, Russia is one of the most creative and innovative societies of all time. Literature, science, music, sporting, mathematics, computing, you name it, a Russian has innovated in it.
I don't get the "its from [country] so I don't use it". Unless this is somehow funding e.g. a war, what did the maintainers do to deserve such backlash?
Edit: just read what ties ClickHouse has, nevermind.
But in this case you would be supporting one of the good things (science & technology) they've done, right? A database connection pooler is not necessarily military technology.
except for perhaps… a scalable pg bouncer? And good nuclear reactors [1]?
Not to say I support many Russian political moves, but I think discrediting an entire people and their outputs on Russian politics is brusque - particularly open source ones.
Neither pg bouncer nor nuclear reactors are unique inventions in and of themselves - these are just iterations on what has existed previously. Of course russia can take an existing thing and iterate on it (computers, rockets, AK-47, etc.) but that wasn't my point.
