I had a lot of fun talking about optimising and sustainability, with @halvarflake.bsky.social and Niki and @tomwilkie.bsky.social.

My team @grafana.bsky.social has recently released Fleet Management in public preview 🎉
Here's a thread to showcase how it can be a game changer for your observability practice, enabling fleet visibility and configuration management like never before🧵
Today on #KubeConNA we released @prometheus.io 3.0 ❤️
It was a long and amazing journey; thanks to all 68 contributors since 2.55 and near 1000 since 2.0! 💪
New UI, query explore, UTF-8, @opentelemetry.io compatibility, Remote Write 2.0, better perf and more!
Details: prometheus.io/blog/2024/11...
So I rigger up a simple test on a breadbox and fiddled with it... and tried turning the gain down from 128 to 64 (?). And it seems to work!
Now to build another wind tunnel and see if I can measure downforce going up with speed...
I tried putting all the electronics on a "proper" PCB, made proper connectors for everything (to reduce the noise in the of wires?); I made the hole for the "spike" bigger to prevent it rubbing... still no good.
I first put this down to using a 5kg load scale to try and measure ~10mg of downforce; never going to be able to see that in the noise. So for the next iteration, I used a 100g weight scale (the model weighs ~30g) - but still too much noise!
Some of you may already know, I'm designing and building a little desktop wind tunnel. Latest iteration has a weight scale in it, to try and measure downforce on the model. Problem is, the weight scale has been super noisy - and I've not really been able to get a signal from it (see attached)
On my PTO week I'm continuing my 3D printing theme, this time with a DIY trolley and filament dry box for my Prusa XL: www.printables.com/model/109007...
I think the biggest upgrade is the WiFi - I always had reliability issues with Prusa Connect and my MK4, but the new WiFi module in the MK4S (an esp32 I think) is so much more reliable....
Me too! Although I’ve given up and listed them all on eBay: www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?s...
I’ve got a collection of old macs that I want to turn into a cluster at some point…
Finally got round to doing the Prusa MK4S upgrade - and so far loving the small speed bump and massive cooling upgrade. PETG and overhangs print much better. Well worth it.
Wrote about the @opentelemetry.io work i've been doing over the last year: grafana.com/blog/2024/11...
Did I mention here that the #FOSDEM #Monitoring & #Observability devroom CfP is open?
It'll be open for another week, so if you want to submit, ~now is a good time: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
All devroom CfPs: fosdem.org/2025/news/20...
Looking for fun with with #Observability and #OpenTelemetry?

The new decent espresso cups make latte art a bit easier!
Working now on a starter pack for Grafanistas at Grafana Labs! This will grow over time!
