https://victoriametrics.com/ would definitely recommend anyone having performance issues with Prometheus to give VictoriaMetrics a try.


Once you plug long term storage onto your Prometheus, do you really need the main Prometheus instances anymore?

Here’s an article about this idea: https://datadrivendrivel.com/posts/rmrfprometheus/

You can substitute the Grafana Agents for OTEL collectors as well.


While Grafana Agent uses less resources than Prometheus, there is more optimized Prometheus-compatible scraper and router exists - vmagent [1]. I'd recommend you giving Grafana Agent and vmagent the same workload and comparing their resource usage.

P.S. Prometheus itself can also act as a lightweight agent, which collects metrics and forwards them to the configured remote storage [2].

That's just kicking the can over to an object storage API instead of managing disks.


And comes with all the downsides of Prometheus as well


Could you pelase elaborate more on "comes with all the downsides of Prometheus"?


Or, you can use Thanos, the de-facto standard with the biggest OSS community.


Thanos/Mimir community doesn't help to resolve configuration routine or even bigger resource consumption for a huge setup.


Bigger resource consumption of what exactly? Leaf Prometheus instances or the Thanos/Mimir stack compared to VictoriaMetrics? Have you seen a large scale migration between the two, with actual numbers?


A few of interesting real-world large-scale migrations are highlighted at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/casestudies/


I need to read up more on this because in my extremely small sample size this kind of dual naming understanding came in really early with my daughter.

I feel like it's a linguistic subtlety that us adults are struggling with conveying the exact concept.


My niece and nephew are being raised semi bilingually and they were happy to accept things could have multiple names before age 2 IIRC. The youngest only just turned 2.5 and can happily flick between Chinese and English (though has a bias towards English because that's what she hears more by a big margin)

Will be interesting how my future kids will be as they will be pretty much exactly 50:50.


My daughter is bilingual too. I wonder if that has something to do with it.


I didn't even know "class inclusion" was a thing really. Though obviously the concept makes sense.

My daughter had a solid grasp of it definitely around 16-18 months. She could easily talk about books or toys, cars, food, drinks etc.

Not sure if this is unusual but 7-8 as the other poster mentioned sounds crazy late for that kind of conceptual understanding to appear.


Yeah, it's not really convincing that it can typically take up to 7-8. By that age kids are already able to read, write and do basic math, which of course requires them to understand "classes" like numbers and letters, such that they could handle both "write a number" and "write 23".


Wrong. Just plain wrong.

TVR back in the day was literally for British hooligans. The car was built on a small scale in Blackpool of all places to compete with much higher-end manufacturers.

The fact that the end game for TVR was handled so poorly doesn't and should never retroactively change what the company's mission was, which was to build powerful British-style sports cars for enthusiasts.

Being a Blackpool lad myself - the first day I saw a TVR Tuscan roll out of the Bispham factory will be something I never forget.

They were working class heroes back in the day. They were approaching affordable for a lot of people, raw, powerful and styled in an otherworldly way.

The loss of TVR is a loss for all car enthusiasts. I don't think we'll see another manufacturer like them.


In other words: it is software.


> Most likely Snapchat's E2EE is just a facade, they probably have a dictionary of "funny" words on the device (and/or the server) and automatically flags the message in the internal systems when certain stopwords are being used.

Reminds me of whenever I used to phone a friend during my teenage years I would always start with "BOMB QUEEN, BOMB QUEEN."


Interesting. I've been mulling around in my head a shell which embeds a Lisp. Well aware the idea isn't particularly ground breaking but I do love the idea of better languages embedded right within the shell, but not quite a REPL for that language.


>> I've been mulling around in my head a shell which embeds a Lisp.

There are several projects with the same idea: https://www.cliki.net/Lisp%20as%20a%20shell


Oh, I know they exist already.


Emacs has eshell which is just that!


CanyonaroooooooooooO!


Reminds me a lot more of "The Homer": https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/The_Homer


You mean the rust-covered Truck, endorsed by a Clown?


Which ARM server would that be?


An Oracle always free instance.
