More adventures in #selfhosting the #fediverse for #keyboardvagabond! I've been doing a lot to fix and tinker with #metrics, though I still need to get #alerts set up. If anyone is curious as to what the incoming #activitypub traffic looks like for my #piefed instance, here ya go!

68% is lemmy.world, total traffic is about 1,000 to 1,200 requests per minute with 164,216 since requests were logged earlier in the day.

The #Prometheus Process Exporter allows to retrieve metrics from all kinds of processes running on a system.

However you may run into a limitation if your machine runs multiple processes with similar names: You might lose #metrics of these processes!

Where does this limit come from and how can it be solved? See my latest #observability post on my blog.

Prometheus Process Exporter and the 15 character groupname limit (using .Comm)

Using the Comm variable for process names in Prometheus Process Exporter might lead to missing metrics. Here is why and how to fix it.

🎉 Oh, look! Yet another thrilling #dissertation on prompt optimization – because clearly, our lives were incomplete without a "framework" to remind us that "choosing metrics" is still a thing. 🚀 Don't worry, it also comes with a handy guide to define "success" in terms of stats-lingo no one asked for. 🍇🤓

Not so Prompt: Prompt Optimization as Model Selection

Here's a framework for prompt optimization: Defining Success: Metrics and Evaluation Criteria Before collecting any data, establish what success looks like for your specific use case. Choose a primary metric that directly reflects business value—accuracy for classification, F1 for imbalanced datasets, BLEU/ROUGE for generation tasks, or custom domain-specific

In a recent episode of The Question, Adrianne Daley and I invited the design system community to dig into one of those quiet-but-critical topics:

Meanwhile in DevOps No.40.

Doug designs the metrics.

Numbers coming out great for my recent home #solar install; the #metrics in the dashboard are wrong though; my average daily power generation was actually 64.99 kWh so far this month, not 26 kWh as shown in the #monitoring app, because it’s not taking into account the days my system was off and I was waiting for the utility approval before I could start making all my own artisinally-crafted #electrons. We use about ~31 kWh daily in this household, so I’ll be needing to do some work to ensure $0 bills all year round, with the utility’s net metering program I’ve got us running on. #solarpunk #punkAF #ArtisinalEnergy #LifeGoals #SolarHomelab
