Performance profiling is essential for optimising applications, but open-source tools often fall short in production. Nick outlines the journey he has undertaken to build an #openSource telemetry system on top of eBPF, Rust, and #Go for instrumenting the #PHP applications which run on the hosting platform, Skpr.

I would not start my own Fedi site, but I would buy Fosstodon, just so people who enjoy Foss Projects, could enjoy following Foss Projects.
HellFire: Optimized Firefox for GNU/Linux & Windows
Both Fosstodon and Mastdon Art, have to be moderated by ex-Reddit mods.
They blacklist so many damn Fedi sites, that they nearly defeat the purpose of the Fediverse.
VM scanning headaches? 
@popey built sbom-vm to easily generate SBOMs from VM disk images using Syft. Check it out! https://anchore.com/blog/making-virtual-machine-security-analysis-easier-with-sbom-vm/

Fosstodon really pisses me off.
Anytime I try to move to a Fedi site, I have to double-check to see if that site ACTUALLY connect to Fosstodon.
They're nearly as bad a Mastodon Art.
You do not, make the Fediverse, fun.

“Flow” (Bir Kedinin Yolculuğu), en iyi animasyon film Oscar’ını kazandı. Flow, açık kaynak #opensource ‘blender’ programıyla yapılmış. Açık kaynaklı programların en başarılılarından birisi.
Flow’u yaratan küçük ekibin başarısını ‘oscar’dan daha değerli görüyorum. Bu olanağı sağlayan ‘blender’ programının geliştirilmesine gönüllü olarak katılan herkes, bir filmin başarabildiklerinden fazlasını yaptılar.

I watched a video yesterday on how to "customize" Gnome. They "customized" it so hard that it transformed into Cinnamon. I don't understand the point of that.
*Any* international organization - commercial, nonprofit, volunteer, whatever - that plans to host an event in the USA in the foreseeable future is out of its mind. It simply isn't safe to visit, and expecting your customers, suppliers, clients, or colleagues to put themselves at risk just to get together in person would be incredibly irresponsible.
Yes, I'm looking at you, various free-software / open-source community organizations.
I recently saw an announcement of this year's conference for <X>, and it was in the USA. WTH, people, do you not know what's going on?
Waaaay back in the late 1990s I discovered Lyx - and have been using it ever since ... almost 30 years!
Lyx has a noble ambition - to let you to write documents as if you were using a GUI word processor, but render the documents using #LaTex.
The key point is to write content - not code.
It almost succeeds.
OBS Studio 31.0.2 is out now to fix an issue on #Linux where browser sources used more CPU than previous versions, add additional logging for browser sources, and fix other issues and crashes https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/tag/31.0.2
