  • Reminds me of the time my wife and her friend when to an adoption event. She said she might come back with one. I told her to pick out the dog least likely to get adopted. She came back home with a 20 pound mutt that’s blind and deaf. He was rescued from a hoarder and had a bunch of open sores. Real pitiful. The before and after pics are crazy. He looks great now. Total asshole and fits right in with the family.








  • This may seem obvious to most, but it didn’t click in my brain until I ran into a certain situation years ago where I was caught in a situation that I needed to poop…. badly. I’m certain I looked something like the image. We were looking at a house for sale that was on a bit of land. I couldn’t find anywhere poop since we were waiting on the realtor to show up. In a last ditch effort to maintain composure, I found a tree and took a leak. The resulting space alleviated the pressure to poop. To this day I wondered when and where I might be able to share this nugget of information, and years later here I am.


  • DataDog is far more comprehensive than Uptime Kuma. It would be more useful to compare the specific capability inside DataDog, considering they have so many services. In this case RUM or Synthetics from DataDog would be a comparable offering. For the SQL stuff, maybe DBM? I don’t have any preference either way, just wanted to bring light to the depth of DataDogs offering since I live that life at the office.

    Edit to add that DataDog isn’t FOSS, but has some components they’ve acquired over the years that are. Vector is a good example. They’re offering a paid version called Observability Pipelines, but it rides on top of Vector and they’ve (so far) committed to keeping it FOSS.
