Today's project: netflow from Unifi USG to Kafka to Clickhouse to Grafana, all running in Docker on my Synology NAS (except the USG, obviously). Cloudflare's go-flow made everything super easy.

Presenting: the world's most expensive laptop performance monitor. Grafana agent on my Macbook Pro, sending metrics to our new #Mimir/@cortexmetrics cluster, running in Kubernetes (around 60 pods), inside a decent-sized (shared, 50+ node) #EKS cluster. Overkill? Nah!

.Xfinity Support not sure this really qualifies as "up to 1200mbps" downloads. I usually hit 800-900mbps consistently on this connection. Yes, I've restarted my modem.

Finally updated my Unifi network and went from 9 devices to 7 (replaced USG, Cloudkey 2, and US-8-60W with a UDM-SE). So far so good.

.iJustine since you mentioned System Preferences in your most recent MacOS video... I was today years old when I learned you could switch the icons to be in alphabetical order.

Having a blast in dabeaz's "Write a Compiler" class. In 4 days, wrote a lexer, parser, interpreter, and a very basic LLVM IR generator, all from scratch. Still a lot more to do, but I can now start with a text file and end up with a runnable MacOS binary.

Happiness is have a brand new RTX 4090 sitting on my desk. Sadness is not being able to find my PCIe 8-pin power cables to install it.

hey Vanguard, this is a problem with your site. Despite your customer service agents' insistence, my trying a different computer or different browser isn't going to help. I want to give you money, but I can't!
