Grafana Fleet Management can now manage OpenTelemetry Collectors using OpAMP 🔭🎉 Handling an inventory of heterogeneous collectors, remote configuration and out-of-the-box self-monitoring is a couple of config lines away!

Remote management of OpenTelemetry Collectors is generally available | Grafana Labs

Grafana Fleet Management now supports OpenTelemetry Collectors, so you can monitor and remotely configure Grafana Alloy instances and upstream OpenTelemetry Collectors from a single control plane.

Claude is down. I wonder if this will cause thundering herd issues for social media providers. Here is my little drop in the bucket 🪣

After fleeing instagram and trying (and not really being convinced by) pixelfed, I am giving #atproto a try. Seems like #flashes hasn't launched for Android yet, but #pinkleap looks promising. I will be posting shots under pinkleap.app/@jcreixell-s...

After a long wait, my latest toy finally arrived. Retro gaming FPGA goodness

I am personally excited about this one, a drop-in replacement for vanilla otel collector with all the power of alloy as an extension. I have been running it locally for quite a while and it's been stable and smooth. Worth checking out, and kudos to the alloy team for making this happen 💯

🚢 Just shipped: Alloy v1.14.0. This release brings you the best of both worlds with a new experimental #OpenTelemetry engine. Run "vanilla" OpenTelemetry while still getting all the benefits of Alloy.

"what else" is the new infinite scrolling when working with LLM coding CLIs. I just can't stop asking for more, and more, and more...

Love my pixel display, but can it play doom? Disclaimer: pre-rendered, but isn't it cool?

The command line is back in fashion. Instead of interacting with fancy UIs, people interact more and more with agents in natural language. Agents interact with APIs via CLIs (and MCP servers to some extent). Huge automation potential opens up. Nothing I will complain about 🤫

I have been having unreasonable levels of fun with openclaw today. Like, hey, find a way to connect to my pixel display via Bluetooth and animate Mario Bros on it. It found the reverse engineered API spec and scripts, discovered the device, glued it altogether and voila! Next, homeassistant 🦀

Giving pixelfed.org a try. The app looks good enough for my needs. My biggest worry is that it seems to revolve too much around a single developer who seems to be writing most of the software as well as running the most popular servers. While impressive, it makes you think about the bus factor...

What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin. “No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.” EVERYTHING has changed.

Just started using the proton suite of products (privacy and security first email, VPN, storage, secret management, etc) and so far I am really liking it with the important omission of a Linux client for Proton Drive (I hear it's coming soon, I really hope so 🤞). proton.me

My latest toy to pair up with my mister fpga solves most of my retro gaming problems with modern LCD displays: - no more HDMI sync losses during resolution changes in 32 bit console cores - motion adaptive deinterlacing It's a pretty good upscaler, games look just gorgeous 😍 #pixelfx #morph4k

Ehm, no thank you? Really trying to be polite here

You won't want to go back to explore traces after trying this out

Spaniard reaction to a catastrophic nation-wide power outage. If the end of the world comes, please catch me while I'm in Spain 🇪🇸

It took me a while, but when I eventually realized to what extent my Facebook feed had been hijacked by ads and fakes (social network they said?), and the negative effect it had on me, I deleted the app. Today I did the same with Instagram. Whatsapp is not going in the right direction...

This has been baking for a while, excited to see it out!

From personal observation, almost every failed local business in Berlin gets replaced by one of the following: - A kebab shop - A Spätkauf (late night shop) - A barbershop A sign of the times, or just Berlin being Berlin?

Sometimes asking ChatGPT feels like asking that friend who can't do anything himself but has watched all the documentaries.

Another piece of FPGA retro gaming goodness. Low/zero input lag, high accuracy, awesome community, half the price. Supports almost any console until the 5th generation, plus many arcades. I could not resist. #misterpi #misterfpga

Finally got my hands into an Analogue Pocket. Can't wait to get into the world of FPGA retro gaming
