kiviktnm/decman: Declarative package & configuration manager for Arch Linux.

"Decman is a declarative package & configuration manager for Arch Linux. It allows you to manage installed packages, your dotfiles, enabled systemd units, and run commands automatically. Your system is configured using Python so your configuration can be very adaptive."

Observability? It's a Data Analytics Problem, You Fool! Config Management Camp 2024 Ghent

We all know logs, metrics and traces, the “three pillars of observability”. We’ve been told that by collecting them we’d gain observability into our systems, right? WRONG! Observability is NOT logs+metrics+traces. You can diligently collect these signals and still find yourself without the required observability to detect and root-cause during a major outage or incident. Even expanding to four, six or more ''pillars'' doesn’t help. We need a paradigm shift. Observability is actually a data analytics problem. In this inspiring and thought provoking talk, Horovits will introduce the data analytics approach, together with practical measures that will guide you in gaining real observability into your system and in getting the insights you need, when you need them. Horovits will also challenge the “holy pillar trinity” and look into additional observability data you may not have considered, and other conventions you've grown used to.

🤩 Only a few days away! right after #FOSDEM, I'll be at Config Management Camp @cfgmgmtcamp, the conference for Open Source Infrastructure Automation.
I'll give a talk about the data analytics paradigm shift in #observability.

@isotopp Wenn die Leute schlau wären, dann hätten sie #cfgmgmt und könnten den Kram wenigstens schnell deployen.

Aber auch da lernen sie dieses mal nicht und machen alles wieder manuell.

Und 9 Monate sind da schon sehr knapp bemessen weil ja die befristeten Verträge der HiWis auslaufen und nicht alle verlängert werden "können".

Man kann also zusammenfassen: Alles eigene Schuld, absolut gar kein Mitleid.

The joy of #mastoadmin:
Timeline frozen since around 8am, no new posts.

The joy of #cfgmgmt:
At around 8am this morning, #SaltStack did it's thing and changed a few permissions around on docker data dirs.
The results: redis keeled over and mastodon didn't update anymore. Great.

The joy of #federation:
After the permissions got fixed and a docker restart, the timeline fills again with past messages thanks to batching and federation.
❤️ (And the bird-guy is acting as if batching is bad. Pft! 😂)

750 people registered for #cfgmgmt

OK, backups system restored, much data now being copied. Last backups were October - illness really makes me a shitty sysadmin #fail

That said, very glad I put all the config into #saltstack, trivial to spin up on a new host and redirect all the clients to it :) #cfgmgmt
