The typical way to run Mimir is centralised, with different regions/datacenters feeding metrics in to one place. You can run that central system across multiple AZs. If you run Mimir with an object store (e.g. S3) that supports replica

If you have systems exporting metrics in Prometheus style, then you can use Prometheus to scrape them and remote-write to Mimir. You can alternately use Prometheus Agent, to save storing the data and running a query engine at the leaf. You

For example sending metrics from an OpenTelemetry pipeline. Mimir accepts the Prometheus remote-write api, which is protobuf-over-http; can be generated by anything really.

Sibling. Much of the architecture is similar; a number of components are shared in https://github.com/grafana/dskit .

It’s a centralised multi-tenant store, supporting the Prometheus query API. So you can point clients directly at Mimir, they send in PromQL and they get data back in Json. (Note I work on Mimir)

Yes. 11 is the version of the protocol, which didn’t change fundamentally after X11, so they moved to X11R2, R3, etc., and adding extensions.

“nice” in Unix is a way to lower the priority of a process, so that others are more likely to be scheduled. Eg https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/nice.2.html

If you also use the CPU Manager feature and request an integer number of cores, yes. Then for example if you request 3 cores your process will be pinned onto 3 specific cores and nothing else will be scheduled onto those cores, and CFS will

In CORBA, RPC, etc., the R stands for Remote and it will execute something on the other end of the wire. In these Java attacks the code is downloaded and run locally, with all secrets and data access of the attacked program.

I worked on X11 applications from 1988 to 1992, including Lotus 123 for Motif. Every Unix machine of the day had a complete X11, it was the big thing. The PC market had X servers like Exceed, but in 1990 it was uncommon for a PC to have eno

If my memory isn’t failing me, the Sun C++ compiler I used in 1994 did template expansion and compilation at link-time. However it was rather annoying in use, having to wait a long time to get errors arising from instantiation.
