Starting the year with improving the 'House Mode' in Home Assistant. It now syncs with the alarm state, allowing manual changes and no longer relying solely on device trackers.

With Docker it's easy to monitor the CPU/memory/IO statistics of a program. Just run the program in one terminal and open `docker stats` in another terminal.

@ptrcknlsn Thanks, good to hear! Yeah it's a switch from template-style to declarative with patches, but it makes it so much easier to understand what the resulting Kubernetes manifest files will be 👍

@adrian_philipp There were indexes, also on the same key as I applied the partitioning. But this table was joined a lot, multiple times for one query. The joins are from the most efficient type, but due to the many records they became too slow.

[Tim de Pater @trafex]

Applying partitioning in MySQL on a table with 100+ million records did better than expected. Reducing the query execution time from 1 minute 44 seconds to 12 seconds! 🤩

Tip to write descriptive function names in 2022; Imagine an AI would write the whole function based on the name.. 😄

See the cost estimates of the infra you're building with Terraform directly in @code with this extension!

@nongetjie @Maide Why? We don't have any technical debt 😇

@mikejulian I recently wrote an article about how to solve this with Prometheus & Grafana; https://t.co/AePkuYu1cT

You can leave the KPIs in the spreadsheet when you create a (simple) exporter that reads from that spreadsheet

Great in-depth explanation of Prometheus TSDB by @_codesome

https://t.co/ZRoRHtZ7HP

Comes in handy when trying to get grip on the large amounts of storage used by Prometheus 😅

First time this has been done?

Armis shows how exploits can make a server backup power system go up in smoke. As in actual smoke.

As in, this hack can probably cause a fire in a data center.

Pulumi looks like an interesting alternative for Terraform; Infrastructure as Code, written in your favorite language.

Terraform is working on a CDK as well, but that's still in beta

With pkg you can package a NodeJs app into an executable than can run on any device without having to install NodeJs and other dependencies for your app. Makes it easy to distribute a NodeJs app!

@Cronuah Hi @Cronuah, yes I have. It's the same repository, but an older version (1.x). See: https://t.co/tMj6XxIuhR

I've made the Behringer X-Touch Mini the ultimate midi controller for PulseAudio. Works really nice when combining video calls with music and it gives dedicated controls for muting your microphone.
