  2. Download your own  geolite file https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite2-free-geolocation-data/
  3. Place your own file in the data directory named like GeoLite2-City_20240101.mmdb

### Prompt 27

In `@combined/cmd/root.go` around lines 144 - 152, The engine value is normalized
for validation but the raw string is written to NB_ACTIVITY_EVENT_STORE_ENGINE
and may not match types.PostgresStoreEngine in initDatabase(); also
NB_ACTIVITY_EVENT_POSTGRES_DSN can contain credentials and is logged unmasked.
Fix by lowercasing the engine before calling
os.Setenv("NB_ACTIVITY_EVENT_STORE_ENGINE", ...) (use strings.ToLower(engine) or
a normalized variable) so comparisons in
initDatabase()/types.Post...
