We're happy to announce that Pyroscope, the company behind the open source continuous profiling project of the same name, is now part of Grafana Labs.

With this acquisition, we will be merging the Pyroscope project and Grafana Phlare, the OSS project we launched last year, under the new name Grafana Pyroscope.

We're excited to unite the Pyroscope and Phlare teams and accelerate our plan to launch profiling in Grafana Cloud, which will make it easy to correlate profiles with metrics, logs, and traces. By doing so, we can help engineering teams gain a deeper understanding of their systems, quickly identify and resolve issues, and ultimately, deliver better software faster.

Is it bad? I’d need to think more about it!

Smartphone photography is already incredibly processed, lightyears from film photography of old. People should probably be more aware that the image their phone shows them is increasingly distant from “reality” – though most of the time, people don’t want reality!

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

#FOSDEM opening talk from the other side. It's really good to be back in person.

Today, we’re excited to announce Grafana Agent v0.31, which allows you to connect to even more types of observability signals for both scraping and remote writes. Get a rundown of the latest features in today's post:

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

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.

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