Today was one of the most fulfilling days for me in a long time. I got to do one of my absolute favorite things and that was to do a technical deep dive into software. Today it was Apache Superset! ♾️

Sometimes I try to hack things just to see what happens. 🧑‍💻 I just tried to run MAST on top of my iPhone’s iSH application. 📱 I got it to install and run which was cool but it didn’t work completely lol. 😅 It wasn’t designed for it so no big deal but still fun to try. 😁

Apache Kafka Review 📝 Kafka seems to excel at delivering high-throughput, fault-tolerant, and real-time data processing. 🌐 It uses a publish and subscribe model, contains a log-based storage system, and uses brokers instead of queues. 🔗 It is ideal for use cases such as real-time analytics, log aggregation, processing large volumes of time-sensitive data, and finally Internet of things (IoT) messaging. 📡 My final takes on Kafka are that it is interesting that it needs Apache Zookeeper in order to run completely, it is a really complex but robust solution that can solve a lot of horizontal scaling problems, and I’m a big fan of it’s ability to integrate with other software components. 😎

Learning about software is one of the best, and most fulfilling, parts of my job. 😁 Today I get to do some research into Apache Kafka, which is an event streaming platform. 🪶 I am already familiar with RabbitMQ, which I have heard from others that is similar, but might serve some different use cases. 🐇 I will let you guys know what I find! 🔍

I was kinda waiting for this to happen... 😹 🙈 Letting LLMs run amok with root is probably not a great idea, but an interesting read nonetheless!

Considering putting in a devcon talk proposal about free software alternatives to common non-free software. Are there other widely-used non-free things apart from warpcast and metamask or would I basically be bitching about those two for 20 mins?

I really like the name "FOSS" because "open source" describes what it is but not why it matters

Are you more of an ideological free software activist or a practical open source advocate?
