I'm not experienced with the CollectD stack, but I use Prometheus + Grafana to monitor probes. My two cents: - Fairly lightweight. Prometheus deals with quite a lot of series without much memory or CPU usage. - Integration with a lot o

Facts can be maliciously used to derail conversations and debates on purpose, or be used without proper context to push a certain view. Not everything is black or white.

It's not taboo because you are not taking it seriously. Now, would a newspaper let me write this? Would my family treat me the same if I were serious with this opinion?

There are two issues. First, I don't think it's one or the other: race privilege exists, and class privilege exists too. Second there are actual dog-whistles disguised as reasonable viewpoints, and it's incredibly hard to dis

It’s not just their decision, that’s the thing. Crazy work hours are generally harmful, even people who “find meaning in it” can get burned out. And if companies allow and encourage staying more hours, it creates an environment where people

I'm on you with this. These comparisons are usually made only looking at CPU, RAM and disk, without taking into account that there's quite a lot more to a laptop. Once you take into account the rest of specs, similar high-end lapt

Yeah, it was the thing that made me choose it instead of other alternatives. I manage machines in heterogeneous client networks without direct Internet access most of the time and agents for managing infrastructure are not useful at all.

There is no "after infinity". You can justify the idea by defining a decimal representation of a number x as a vector x_2, x_1, x_0, x_{-1}, x_{-2} ..., with x_n ∈ {0, 1, ..., 9}. Negative indexes are digits after the comma, posit

Not too bad? This is a post from a guy who, from his Twitter, "has been thinking for the last few days" and somehow he knows the thinking of ruling elites? Honestly, I am really surprised that this post is being upvoted at all. Em
