skullborg··on Zabbix, Time Series Data and TimescaleDB
I’ve run Zabbix with thousands of monitored hosts. It’s not perfect, and it requires some bending to just how Zabbix wants things done, but it’s nice. We have it monitoring all manner of stuff, hardware, power, cooling, services, batteries, weather, network, disks, etc

22-24 highway, 15 city. It has zero emissions equipment though, so I'm sure it's killing us all
skullborg··on Why Some Doctors Hesitate to Screen Smokers for Lung Cancer (2015)
It's nearing 400k miles. It's had service - new turbo and engine control components, suspension and frontend, brakes, glow plugs, etc. Original everything else though, nothing fancy, just a work truck. But anything "newer", even 10 years old, is $25k minimum for any halfways decent duty truck.

Do share more stories on working on old trucks! I have a '99 Ford with a 7.3, and everyone's saying it's not worth fixing, but I just like keeping it on the road...
skullborg··on Django 2.2
I didn’t like the naming changes and thought it was just a feel good platitude, but it was hardly something I dwelled on. What world view was forced on you, though?
skullborg··on Django 2.2
Don’t bother, the poster doesn’t follow up his/her posts with any information backing up their statements or claims.
skullborg··on Using Elasticsearch as the Primary Data Store in an ETL Pipeline
