> another factor to consider is that if you have a typical Prometheus `/metrics` endpoint that gets scraped every N seconds, there's a period in between the "final" scrape and the actual process exit where any recorded metrics won't get propagated. this may give you a false impression about whether there are any errors occurring during the shutdown sequence.
Have you come across any convenient solution for this? If my scrape interval is 15 seconds, I don't exactly have 30 seconds to record two scrapes.
This behavior has sort of been the reason why our services still use statsd since the push-based model doesn't see this problem.
The whole subreddit is moderated poorly. I’ve seen plenty of users post on r/LocalLlama about how something negative or constructive they said on the Cursor sub was just removed.
I don't think so, but in practice when running uBlock on Chrome I still don't see ads. It's less efficient under the surface but the user experience hasn't changed significantly.
It also seems like all integrations that use Slack webhooks are working. But the ones which are like a dedicated app are failing with the same `fatal_error` message.
Ikr. They're up to some questionable decisions since long.
- Acquire companies like Pocket, Anonym in multi-million dollar deals and also the millions in bonuses that the CEO likes to enjoy.
- At the same time, no significant expenditure towards developing its core software. Firefox is still ridden with bugs. They even went as far as firing the people that used to work on Servo, Rust, WASM, etc.
I think it's clear to them that there's not enough money to be made with small tricks like Pocket, VPN, Relay, etc. Firefox is still the only profitable product and contributes ~90% to Mozilla's revenue. Much of it coming from Google which is the one thing that people have been asking them to be less dependent on.
And we shouldn't be surprised if they double down on making more money off of Google and also introduce ads. Acquiring Anonym, an ads company, implies that it might have already started.
FWIW Servo is seeing work as e.g. an Electron replacement. There is hope, even if one wishes the Mozilla Foundation CEO had used some $6M on developer salaries instead of pocketing it.
Full browser feature set is hard, but an app that bundles its own webview can choose to not trigger the edge cases, so that's a realistic path forward.
I see some nice parallels with Wikipedia. Makes me wonder if anyone's yet developed a theory of "foundation capture" where you find some marvellous free thing that is made for and by humanity at large and extract/redirect money from its market share/good will.
I think the pump-and-dump extraction of value from any brand works pretty similarly, whether a non-profit or regular business.
Lots of companies with centuries-long record of manufacturing previously durable goods have in the last decade or two switched to using e.g. inferior quality steel to increase profits. That'll destroy the brand, but in the meanwhile there's great profits to be had!
Yes, a while ago.
But fortunately people continue. Just not with the billion dollar budget of Mozilla and with seemingly less traction. I have not heard of them in a while.
But I very much endorse both. And yes, in theory energy should be focused, but I rather have 2 smallish projects, but with potential, than one slightly bigger one, with fighting about direction all the time.
