#Pixelfed and other #Fediverse platforms like #Mastodon were just mentioned on German television (ZDF) 🎉:

Trump and his new big tech autocracy: Trump, Musk & Co are trying to dismantle the state at high speed. A culture war has broken out. Is democracy in danger?

How dangerous is this and what can Europe do to counter it? Will the EU's democratic rules stand up to the superiority of US big tech?

So, I've been using Thanos to receive and store my prometheus metrics long term in a self hosted S3 bucket. Thanos also acts as a datasource for my dashboards in Grafana, and provides a Ruler, which evaluates alerting rulers and forwards them to my alertmanager. It's ok. It's certainly got it's downsides, which I can go into later, but I've thinking... what about Mimir?

How do you all feel about Grafana's Mimir (source on GitHub)? It's AGPL and seems to literally be a replacement of Thanos, which is Apache 2.0.

Thanos description from their website:

Open source, highly available Prometheus setup with long term storage capabilities.

Mimir description from their website:

...open source software project that provides horizontally scalable, highly available, multi-tenant, long-term storage for Prometheus and OpenTelemetry metrics.

Both with work with alloy and prometheus alike. Both require you to configure initially confusing hashrings and replication parameters. Both have a bunch of large companies adopting them, so... now I feel conflicted. Should I try mimir? Poll in reply.

The latest proprietary #VSCode extension that no longer works in non-Microsoft builds of the MIT licensed VS Code source code appears to be C and C++ support.

Your regular reminder: every day more of VSCode functionality is proprietary, and increasingly #FOSS hostile.

🌟 Umfrage zur Linux Installation! 🌟

Ich möchte herausfinden, wie die Community die Benutzerfreundlichkeit von Linux einschätzt. In dieser Umfrage geht es darum, verschiedene Aspekte der Benutzerfreundlichkeit zu bewerten, darunter die Installation, die Benutzeroberfläche, die Verfügbarkeit von Software und die allgemeine Lernkurve. Eure Meinungen sind wichtig, um ein besseres Verständnis dafür zu bekommen, wie Linux im Vergleich zu anderen Betriebssystemen wahrgenommen wird. Ich freue mich auf eure Antworten und darauf, die vielfältigen Perspektiven zu diesem spannenden Thema zu hören! 🚀

Fangen wir mit dem ersten Punkt an:

Wie einfach oder schwierig war die Installation von Linux für euch im Vergleich zu anderen Betriebssystemen?

#tech #linux #smartphone #deutschland #europe #europa #technology #foss This place seems very pro European independence and german, in addition to the more obvious tech nerdness, so I'd think this would be a good place to ask; Is the Volla phone any good? It's always the PinePhone or Librem mentioned whenever the subject of a Linux phone comes up and no one ever seems to bring up the Volla phone. Is there a problem with the Volla phone that makes it less known or what?
