Implemented a POC of an in-browser anomaly detection using the Isolation Forest Processor of the OpenTelemetry collector: rengong.info/in-browser-a... If you want to try it out, you'd need to download the HTML page and open locally in your browser. #opentelemetry #rum #client #anomalydetection

so I was either delivering presentations or burnt out for the past 8 days, and it looks like a shitton more vulns dropped besides CopyFail (which I mitigated)? go read Ti's thing, it helped me catch up on WTF was going on and what I should check in on my team with once I get back to work tomorrow.
as i was wrapping this up Fragnesia dropped,fourth thing in 2.5weeks. if u need a plain english explainer on these Linux kernel CVEs here it is: www.askbaize.com/blog/linux-c... talks about -what happened -new normal for disclosure process -what to do immediately -what to do as next step

My terminal stack for the past 10+ years was Alacritty/tmux/Fish shell. With agents becoming mainstream, I wanted to modernize the stack. After spending a few hours working in anger with Wave, configuring it, clocking how GenAI works in it, I am sold! Recommend to try yourself: www.waveterm.dev

reading @norootcause.surfingcomplexity.com this morning to me, observability has always been the answer to “how do we move towards safety-II culture” but the myopic focus on big chungus json search and dashboards has crippled this transformation surfingcomplexity.blog/2026/04/26/t...
The normal work of creating reliability
Here’s a recent comment on LinkedIn from John Allspaw, on a post by Gandhi Mathi Nathan Kumar about availability. Allspaw’s comment is a succinct description of a safety model proposed …

Thank you Bloomberg engineering for stepping up here, would love to see other companies do this with open source projects "Sustaining OpenTelemetry: Moving from dependency management to stewardship" www.cncf.io/blog/2026/03...
Sustaining OpenTelemetry: Moving from dependency management to stewardship
Modern software runs on open source. In fact, “free” and open source software generates more than $500 billion in annual value in the U.S. alone and an estimated $8.8 trillion in total global value.

AWS just shipped native OpenTelemetry metrics support in CloudWatch. This one got buried under the S3 Files announcement, but it deserves more attention!
