So I finally let the domain for a super old side-project API expire.

Today, I noticed somebody else picked it up and put up some Russian OnlyFans advertisements.

Really, now?? 🤣

I just found out that (non-techie) SO uses Google Lens as sorts of ~reverse image/pinterest search when shopping.
She says it's helpful to find similar products, or different retailers carrying the same SKUs but don't actually tell you so 🤯

Last night the 11yo broke down the Google Slides middle school Chatroom for me:

1. At first they used a Google doc but the infinite scroll was too chaotic
2. In the slide deck each new slide is one “post”—some all text, some images, some both—
3. They use slides’ comments feature to “reply” to each other’s “posts”
4. This allows participants to easily flip between posts using the slide thumbnail navigation, so they can find the conversations they care about easily
5. He owns the file & if anyone spams it, deletes other people’s posts, or gets nasty, he can revert the file to its previous save state & remove the spammer’s access
6. He did share the file with me on purpose, I think because he was proud & wanted me to see what he’d made

Essentially they’ve created a chatroom with moderation in Google Slides, so they can get around the school’s ban on platforms like Discord. It’s kind of brilliant

So I finished Super Mario Bros I, 37.5 years after its release. 🤯 I absolutely loved it!

(of _course_ I cheated, it would have taken months for me to complete it in one go)

I'm seeing first hand just how comically fast puppies grow up 🤯
Like, don't rush little guy, keep being a silly ball of fur for a little longer

"Go 1.20 released" by GoLang - 4 new language features (type conversion from slice to array, etc), plus tools, library & performance updates go.dev/blog/go1.20 #Golang #OpenSource #software #engineering #tech

Does german have a word for the emotional connection you create with an 8-months old Chrome tab of _that_ obscure PDF that you know you'll never get around to read but still won't close?

Today I am starting my new adventure at @google! 😍

Joining Google Cloud Managed Prometheus Team, thus still staying in the #opensource, Prometheus and generally #observability ecosystem!

Very excited about people and everything I am about to learn here!🙈

If you're in Berlin, London, or Munich and you fancy hosting a @grafana & friends Meetup, please hit me up.

We'll be expanding our city coverage substantially over the year, so all other locations also gladly taken & tracked.

We are more than happy to help out with pizza money etc, of course.

Retoots appreciated as I refuse to advertise this on birdchan.

Trimming Prometheus label values with relabel rules

- action: "replace"
source_labels: [lname]
target_label: "lname"
replacement: "${1}"
regex = "(.*).{8}" // this removes 8 characters from the end
regex = "(.*{5})(.*)" // this only keeps the first 5 characters

I’m sharing this clip direct from barrister Robin Moira White on LinkedIn. Worth the read…

My most recent example of simple technology being unexpectedly useful; being able to scan an indoors parking lot for empty spaces from a distance. 💯
