I run Netdata on my home server using the official docker image. I mostly use it to detect run-away containers, and monitor system temprature. For these use-cases, it works great, and I like that it's self contained; way less headache than stringing together Graphviz stuff, or setting up Nagios or Prometheus.

Beware - by default it'll send home telemetry, and the web UI will try to "register" your instance with some kind of cloud. I find this super annoying, but it's possible to turn it off; just not well documented.

There's also a lot of plugins that scrape many kinds of logs, look at process data, etc. Again, might be useful, but for a home user it's much better to turn it all off.

My notes here have a write-up of how to run Netdata via Docker with example config files that disable the unwanted features here: https://jake.tl/notes/2019-11-09-cozy-server#netdata

HN: unaffordable housing is among the top-5 problems facing my generation. Where are the career opportunities? What are the specific startups and companies working to decrease the cost of housing who might hire me on?

I understand much of this is an issue of policy (e.g. zoning), but that doesn't mean there aren't other avenues by which to attack the problem either.

So, as long as you ignore the formatting they presented it with and decide to read it without it, you can come to a different conclusion?

I don't think contortions such as that to link sentences is fair, nor the fault of the organization that put forth for a statement specifically separating them.
I can imagine their CTO, Oleg Vishnepolsky’s deposition:

Ethics of the research aside, it has succeeded in showing that it is far too easy to sneak malicious code into the kernel.

It sucks that the maintainers have to play cleanup, but at least it will hopefully lead to a positive outcome.

We have a central influxdb with telegraf metrics among others, and some grafana graphs.

I still install netdata on every machine though. Almost never use it, but there have been some times where it was useful to look at netdata. It's light weight enough that it hasn't been a problem.
> Not once do they talk about getting the ban removed, instead they talk about figuring out why it happened and how to be better at having research done being ethical.

I feel as if we’re discussing two different statements.

> The research method used raised serious concerns in the Linux Kernel community and, as of today, this has resulted in the University being banned from contributing to the Linux Kernel.

Here the cause is that "the research method used raised serious concerns in the Linux Kernel community"

Not that it was unethical, or potentially how it was. It’s not that something clearly went wrong. The cause can be read as the response, rather than the action.

As a user of Interix on Windows NT (porting an entire X windows application including Motif and OpenGL) around 2000, I'm glad to see they finally managed to improve on it.

I wonder if there's also a marginal effect here where early on each paper is contributing a lot to your knowledge base, but as time goes on the marginal contribution reduces.

I haven't done a PhD (yet), but I get the sense that in the early years you spend a lot of time under water trying to swim.
To me reverting those hundreds of patches sounds like an overreaction, which might cause actual damage. It's not clear (at least from what I have read in the thread) that this code, which may be wrong or at least useless, is part of any "let's check their patch process" experiment (or did I just miss that?)

That they did that in the past is clearly unethical and was generally a shitty thing to do, but this group also seems to do technical security research. That the student (allegedly) trusted his static code analyzer so much that he did not care to verify its findings doesn't speak for him, but Hanlon's razor may also apply here. Just banning that student (if he keeps submitting technically inferior patches) should be enough imho.
> So you are saying that because a non-controversial method to show the same issue wouldn't cause the publicity connected purely to their way of operating, it was right to ignore the concerns?

what's the non-controversial alternative? alerting the organization before they do it? that doesn't work. that's why scientists do blinding and double blinding.

if you mean something else, then i'm missing parts of this (really complicated) debate.

There has been a strong correlation between the build up of amyloid plaques and degenerative brain diseases. I think the expectation has always been that this is a build up over time, and that one all-nighter or a few isn't harmful. Like eating fries, your body will repair itself as long as you don't make it a habit.

This study suggests that the brain does not remove these built up paque over a 4 week period. I'd be very interested to see if the researchers are able to do a further follow-up study, but this is very damning evidence of the importance of quality sleep...always!

My startup (https://soundmind.co) is working on using sound to improve sleep quality, and our DeepWave stimulation is specifically targeting the processes which clear the amyloid plaques discussed in the paper. There is great research regarding improving the capabilities of the brain to clear plaque in a reduced time frame by increasing the power and number of waves in a slow-wave oscillation.

I had been under the assumption that this meant we would be able to repair previous damage to a certain percent. Unfortunately, this appears not to be the case.

As a life-long insomniac who witnessed an uncle die from Alzheimer's, I'm very concerned of the effects.

Please take care of your sleep. I'm working to help you, but until we're able to do it, and prove that we can do it, just don't damage yourself.

Hm I certainly sympathise, just hadn't occurred to me the filesystem might be a bottleneck here. I switched from my work Mac to my desktop and bought (or rather, so I could buy) more RAM, since it was exhausted building, and would frequently crash.

I now have enough to be able to give it 'enough' and cgroup limit it from hogging more and interrupting my browsing etc. but I don't think I've given it so much that, what, the speed at which it can read the 100ks of files in order to 'webpack' them is the limiting factor.

Perhaps I'm just (foolishly) content living with it much slower than you are, so I don't have everything else fast enough for that to be the problem.

I haven’t been keeping a list, and sometimes it’s not so much a major scoop/exclusive as it is providing details and getting quotes on stories that are missing elsewhere. But it’s a definite trend I’ve noticed over time.

- Anthony Wiener sexting scandal

On the contrary, it would be the easy, lazy way out for a maintainer to say “well this incident was a shame now let’s forget about it.” The extra work the kernel devs are putting in here should be commended.

In general, it is the wrong attitude to say, oh we had a security problem. What a fiasco! Everyone involved should be fired! With a culture like that, all you guarantee is that people cover up the security issues that inevitably occur.

Perhaps this incident actually does indicate that kernel code review procedures should be changed in some way. I don’t know, I’m not a kernel expert. But the right way to do that is with a calm postmortem after appropriate immediate actions are taken. Rolling back changes made by malicious actors is a very reasonable immediate action to take. After emotions have cooled, then it’s the right time to figure out if any processes should be changed in the future. And kernel devs putting in extra work to handle security incidents should be appreciated, not criticized for their imperfection.
I agree, that's why in this case (as I say in my post) I believe they'll follow through.
That paper came out a year ago, and they got a lot of negative feedback about it, as you might expect. Now they appear to be doing it again. It’s a different PHD student with the same advisor as last time.

This time two reviewers noticed that the patch was useless, and then Greg stepped in (three weeks later) saying that this was a repetition of the same bad behavior from the first study. This got a response from the author of the patch, who said that this and other statements were “wild accusations that are bordering on slander”.

Uni group slammed over submitting known buggy patches to Linux kernel
This is pretty crazy. If true, murder rates are extremely sensitive to public perception of the system.

This means that the most rudimentary status-quo thought of protecting the police image as an end of itself is actually the most utilitarian position of all.
They’d be concerned about (known-ish) bad actors getting commits into Linux without anyone catching it, and probably want to tell the foundation to start red-teaming the kernel commit process.

I haven't really seen that, as a primarily Windows Dev all the moves they are making are to encourage you to use Linux over Windows for backend work.

Hell, they own Windows but for some reason App Services targeting Windows are more expensive than Linux on Azure. It's almost as if they want us off Windows.
Sorry about the typo, mainly because in my language we do use the two 's' (Bielorussia) so sometimes my brain and typing have a mismatch.

As for 'chauvinistic' things, I can agree with you there, as well as having very anti LGBT and racist tones in their speeches (I had to 'teach' a Russian friend that calling people niggers out loud in a cafe isn't acceptable here).

But I can also say, a lot of Italians or Portuguese (and others as well) have similar thoughts, but they just know how to hide it enough (you have no idea how much faggot or nigger or the likes is used in normal conversation within family/friends conversations here, but just not spoken to third parties because they are afraid of judgement/consequences) while Russians tend to be more outspoken (mainly because it isn't seen such as taboo there to be anti-lbgt/black people)

But two things that are my personal opinion. A lot of this is mainly due to their internal culture, and when they are exposed to others (black people or gay people) they understand very well that what was ingrained there isn't the reality. And second, they have (at least the ones I know), changed 180 degrees in a very short time about those ideas and behaviours when their 'eyes get opened' compared to local western europeans that still blame the black from Africa for everything that is wrong in their country (or nowadays, gypsies))

I am not trying to defend russians or ukrainian people (which in the context of these posts they are probably on different sides of the debate), but that the ideas we (or most) have from that part of the world is quite wrong. Yes, you had russians that talked to you like that, and I know good friends that left Russia because they couldn't stand LBGT persecution and Putin's 'strong man' politics. There are always various faces to the same coin (I know!).

quick edit: Have you tried having those conversations with Polish or Latvian or Lithuanian folks? Those chauvinistic ideas are also present there in a large (might have changed now, but used to be) part of the population. You think in this scenario Russians are much worse or just you had more contact with Russians vs these and others Eastern European countries?

edit number two (sorry just remembering things ;): 10 or so years ago, a 55 year old man beat the living crap of his wife. When the judge presiding over the case gave his sentence, it was given 2 years suspended sentence, citing that as attenuating cirscunstances, the wife did in fact burned his dinner so it was understandable he was mad. You think this was in Russia or Portugal? Because it was Portugal. We also have a judge in the spotlight for saying that cheating invalidates any women's testimony as she can't be trusted and that the bible allows for some punishments for 'stray' wives. (yes, from a working judge presiding over these cases)

Always good to remember environmentalist don't care about old growth forests or eco-systems or humans.

It's just about CO2 in the air. Not even the measurable amount, most can't tell you any numbers.

Who cares what old growth forests do, why are we even worrying about CO2 if it's not about getting old growth forests back? I guess because CO2 has become god.

Except the React devtools extension is a first-party tool maintained by the React team [0]. They don't distribute with the library, but given that it's a browser extension there's not really any way that they could.

Also, the react dev tools aren't really a debugger. There's no way to step through code or similar. It just provides an insight into React's internal state (the component tree, and any state contained within it). The equivalent would be Postgres providing a tool to inspect the contents of its caches or indexes, and the OP complaining that they can't read them when using GDB.
