Jeez, it took me like a week just to program a usb hwmon temperature device for Linux


I wrote my first linux kernel module! This is a fairly popular, cheap linux usb thermometer.

But it didn't have a kernel driver to support reading temp from hwmon on linux.

Which I wanted to use fancontrol with it.


Honestly if you added just a tad bit of noise. You probably wouldn't notice.


That's something you can easily prompt for, too.


Not even just big berry is shilling. Look at this guy shill his little bush



He's commenting on the spirit of software released under permissive licenses like GPL.

By selling software built on the backs of free developers, you're effectively profiting off of a significant amount of their work.

I hope you donate a nice chunk of money to ffmpeg. https://ffmpeg.org/donations.html


10% of last month revenue was donated to FFmpeg. Thanks for clarifying


I use LogQL a fair amount. Often times even just negative filtering is quite useful.

I do a fair amount of tracking down of issues with LogQL. Looking for logs specific to a customer support ticket. Filtering for logs by a traceId for distributed traces.

I have serious doubts this new UI is something I will care about at all.

The explore ui for setting labels is atrocious and painful, and I'd rather just give me the text input for LogQL*

*: Please FFS someone fix the Ctrl+f creating a vscode like find dialog that only finds inside the text input. I never want to do a find specifically isolated to my LogQL

Quick update: that has been fixed and will be available in Grafana 11.1.


I really enjoyed his Chaos and Evolutions videos he released long ago.


notepad++ was really great for simple syntax highlighting on windows, when good clients were either slow or costed money.

It supported a lot of languages.


Also, the original Notepad++ is unabashedly native to Windows, with none of the limitations or expense of cross-platform toolkits like Qt. So it's lightweight and responsive even on lowest-specced boxes.


I use Notepad++ on Linux, ran the installer, works, it auto updates just like it did on Windows, WINE enables it to run just fine. I use it every day for small files like my TODO, Notes and Scrap files.


But that is a recent developement? Some years ago the experience under WINE with npp was not great.

(might be also 10 years, since I tried it the last time)


Could be, I can't remember when it didn't run well but WINE has improved greatly the past 5 years especially.


I think he was referring to schools writing to authors. Not this author.

Maybe referring to the author responding too.
