I work for a large enterprise and build ML model monitoring pipelines fairly frequently—this will be a more in depth but similar use case to what you’re asking.
We use Grafana (visualization) and Prometheus (timeseries db)—they’re built for this use case exactly. Tons of info out there on how to build, configure, connect to your sensors, and deploy it.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Niche subreddits were still good. Fuck the mains, but there was a lot of really good content, even very technical, in tightly focused communities like r/LocalLLaMA, etc. In a lot of ways the format of how conversations flow there work better (and worse) than stackoverflow. Still is good content, but I really can’t bring myself to go there because of the nasty shenanigans that spez put the communities through.
I really hoped for a while that Reddit would be the one to break the embrace, extend, extend, enshittify mold that so many great techs succumb.
But everyone has a sellout price and so the EEEE seems to be a law of nature.
They want you to be tired. They will never stop bringing the fight, because to them our freedom is an existential threat to their existence.
Keep up the fight for personal liberty. And make no mistake—it is a fight.
It’s supposed to be the same everywhere, yes, that’s the whole point. I’m just listing some of the things I’ve tried to find stability with the program on my machine. Maybe it’s not LO vs Linux kernel, but LO seems to work ok on an old MacBook I use sometimes. I don’t use Windows so I don’t have a user experience there to compare against.
Nah, I work with real big data all the time—I’m a ML engineer/DataSci depending on the day.
It’s not crashing because I put a trivial couple hundred rows of data into a spreadsheet.
It crashes because there’s some conflict between its Java core and the Linux kernel I’m running it on. It’s been like this across many versions; I keep everything updated, etc. Tried many versions of Java, and OpenJDK because FuckOracle. I’m no Java developer though, so Inwouldnt be able to contribute unless they want to refactor the entire core to Rust in which case I’d love to help.
I send bug reports and it’s always just crickets—either they don’t know and don’t communicate that they don’t know, or don’t care, or more likely are just too busy with their realjobs to go on the hunt for a solution to a corner-case bug/crash scenario like mine probably is.
I use office programs so infrequently that I just deal with it. But if I was like my directors and managers who live and die by office productivity apps then I’d have to abandon LibreOffice and go to the closed-source solution.
Fuck does this mean LibreOffice might get actual sponsorship, funding, organizational support? And not be a buggy steaming pile of shit that crashes my computer every ten minutes???
An engineer can dream, right?
I hate spreadsheet and slide deck days. Please oh universe help me get back to my happy place: codeland.
You never ever share the exploit that you intend to leverage for personal gain. Sorry you had to learn that the hard way.
I made thousands of dollars in World Of Warcraft with a couple of gold and xp exploits that let me build chars that were super leveled and loaded with gold and sell them. Never ripped anyone off, just exploited a game mechanic that I think was unintended. Saved some people some time in exchange for dolla.
And no, I’m not fucking telling you what it is/was—I don’t think they’ve been patched; I just don’t have time to play or the need for that money anymore. Too busy and well paid with my real job :).
I call it N Jinx. Always have and I’ll never be convinced otherwise that it’s not.
Sometimes old software just has too much legacy spaghetti written in to really build from though. Starting from scratch gives new ideas room to breathe and grow that might otherwise be impossible to implement in the previous framework—which while probably useful can also be stifling. See the reason why Wayland is being written to replace Xorg.
I don’t think an SSD is the right choice here. SSDs have a limited lifespan that’s majority driven by the number of writes that happen to a certain block. Reads are cheap and near infinite though.
When you’re talking about a Lemmy instance, mail server, etc. my mind thinks this is likely to be many writes with several read-once ops. This is a better use case for a HDD.
A media server that oriented towards most consumption (reading) would be better for SSD.
Also PRISM. Maybe the third—wait, wrong side of the array—worst.
I like draw.io for process diagrams.
Xean Connery hates this simple trick.

Because starting with ‘X’ does not guarantee the ‘sh’ sound. See ‘xylophone’, ‘Xavier’, ‘Xenon’.
Xitter looks like ‘exiter’ to me.
A true Debian user would never tell us that they use Debian. They would say they use Debian Testing’. BTW.
I’m in this picture and I resent it.
Sorry for your loss. I hit myself with the ‘rm -rf /*‘ several years back when I was actually trying to do ‘rm -rf ./*‘.
Now I do ‘ls’ instead of ‘rm’ just to make sure that what I’m deleting is what I’m intending to.
Figured I was very lucky that it was just on my own workstation and not on any of the servers I was tasked with maintaining. I lost a day or so of work. Had it been our dev server? Would’ve destroyed my team for a while.
