  • Is anyone frustrated with anything about Prometheus?
    5 projects | /r/PrometheusMonitoring | 18 Jun 2023
    Yes, but also no. The Prometheus ecosystem already has two FOSS time-series databases that are complementary to Prometheus itself. Thanos and Mimir. Not to mention M3db, developed at Uber, and Cortex, then ancestor of Mimir. There's a bunch of others I won't mention as it would take too long.

    Long term storage all depends on your needs and sophistication. I use Thanos for our system since it has an extremely flexible scaling system. But there is also Grafana Mimir. They're both similar in that they use Prometheus TSDB format as part of the underlying storage. One nice Thanos advantage is that it does do downsampling in addition to being able to store raw metric data for a long time. It will auto-select downsampled data to make requests faster.
  • Monitoring many cluster k8s
    6 projects | /r/kubernetes | 21 Mar 2023
    You can aggregate all your clusters Prometheus metrics together with a wonderful tool called Thanos. This will allow you to use just a single Grafana instance against Thanos and using a label select which cluster you wish to see metrics from. The downside of this, is that none of the Grafana dashboards from the internet will work as-is. You'll need to customize all of them for Thanos support. The other downside is, you have a single point of failure, and (see next item) you can't customize who can access what in regards to your dev vs production data/metrics/access.

    Depending on how you want to set things up, you can use Thanos or Mimir to create the single-pane-of-glass view of your data.
  • Top CNCF Projects to look out for in 2023
    5 projects | dev.to | 23 Jan 2023
    Thanos belongs in Observability and Analysis / Monitoring as it is based on Prometheus, a monitoring CNCF project. It makes it easier to scale Prometheus horizontally and obtain a global view of data from several Prometheus servers. Thanos promises high availability and virtually unlimited historical data storage. This year, it got in the top 5 CNCF projects with the most contributors.
  • What opensource tools have changed your company culture?

    This is a reasonably small setup, but having multiple deployment zones means you will need Prometheus plus a centralizing overlay. For example Thanos or Mimir.

    > There are alternate Discord clients, and — unlike Slack — Discord doesn't try to actively prevent people from writing alternate clients against their API.

    Yes, they do.

    https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless:

    > Hey, so I know this is somewhat of a bummer, but I got banned because of ToS violation today. This seemed to be connected to creating a new PM channel via the /users/@me endpoint. As that's basically a confirmation for what we've believed would never be enforced, I decided to not work on the cordless project anymore. I'll be taking down cordless in package managers in hope that no new users will install it anymore without knowing the risks. I believe that if you manage to build it yourself, you've probably read the README and are aware of the risks. I'll keep the repository up, but might archive it at some point. And yes, you'll still be able to use existing binaries for as long as discord doesn't introduce any more breaking changes. However, be aware that the risk of getting a ban will only get higher with time!

  • No shield of privacy though

    Worth noting the developer of another third party client, Cordless, recently had their account disabled, which ended with the project sadly being abandoned.

    To be honest, I am a fan of the excellent cordless application. Unfortunately, the creator was banned from the service for violating the terms of service. So it is not recommended anymore.

  • Pidgin: Pidgin, the Universal Chat Client
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Jan 2021
    Well, sadly there's the fact that Discord has finally pulled out the official laser beams for the alternative client scene, such that Cordless recently called it quits: https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless

    Ripcord (https://cancel.fm/ripcord/) doesn't seem to be giving any indications that it no longer works, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (and probably for fairly large values of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ too)

    My computer is generally only able to handle one Chromium-based HI I EAT ALL YOUR RAM AND GPU, so I basically treat Discord like email as a result of the no-3rd-party-app policy.

    Furthermore, given that the Discord "app" is just Electron, it'll get in a fight with the poor thermal design of my laptop in exactly the same way on the website does.

    TL;DR, Discord has scaled to the point where "13 year old skiddies who like pulling legs off spiders are using alternate clients to send a {server,reputation}-destroying level of spam" is having a more measurable impact than "we need to maintain equality of access".

    I suspect that extremely strong management vision+competence would be necessary to prioritize equality of access. As things stand right now, it's incredibly easy to deprioritize because the vast majority of people using Discord either have minimally-viably decent machines appropriate for playing games or completing actual day jobs.

    Doesn't using this with Discord run a risk of your account getting banned for using a third-party client? That's why the Cordless developer shut down the project: https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless
