The #OpenTelemetry Collector is a critical component of using #OTel in production. To learn how organizations are deploying, configuring, and monitoring the Collector, we ran a survey in 2025. The results tell us how the Collector is being used today, and how its usage has changed since 2024. Read our latest blog post for all the details!

NDP MP Leah Gazan is backing a petition to have the federal government intervene in the matter of the unwarranted and anti-trans restrictions on gender affirming health-care in Alberta arising from Bill-26.
The petition (E-7005 (Healthcare)8) dropped yesterday, and I haven’t seen any mention of it cross my scrolls yet, so please boost this hard and wide.
Full details and link to signing at :

If #fedi instances, or accounts on instances, come and go frequently in alpha software, would that kind of churn cause problems with other instances on the #Fediverse? What is the #fediquette for #fediDev?

Seems #vim 9.2 is just weeks away. I came across this conversation randomly while checking recently merged PRs. For a "dead" editor vim's development is quite active. I guess neovim will have to work harder to finish it off. ;-)
Last week I hooked up with 
@jazjaz 
from Tŵt Cymru, the community-owned Welsh social network. We’re combining forces to launch the first Tŵt app on March 1st, Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant (St David’s Day).
The Tŵt mobile app is vibrantly Welsh, easily accessible for new users, and a model for social communities worldwide. Reflecting the Pethau Bychain (Little Things) campaign behind the app. It’s all about building a digital commons from small acts of hospitality and kindness.

Welcome to Wednesday on Wednesday where it is Wednesday all the time! Wednesday is an 8 year old tortoiseshell cat. She is blind and currently living in Illinois with https://flipping.rocks/@loren . Her interests are laying in sunbeams, playing with her new toys (thank you to those who have helped settle her in, we really appreciate your support), and sniffing the corners. Follow here for lots more pictures of this very sweet and silly cat.

All the “faster Homebrew in Rust” projects are a bit like parsing HTML with regex.
The simplest use-cases seem to work, it’s easier and there’s just edge cases to fix.
Fixing these edge cases requires recreating Homebrew and using Ruby (which will be slower again).

I heard Meta, Reddit, and other corporate owned social media are blocking links to https://icelist.is
Whatever you do, don't go to https://icelist.is
Definitely don't spin up a caching reverse proxy that mirrors https://icelist.is/
Doing that would make Zuck sad

Les macronistes se félicitent de leur projet d'interdire les réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans. 📱
La réalité, c'est que cette mesure n'est PAS EFFICACE et vise a porter la responsabilité sur les jeunes au lieu de s'attaquer au vrai problème : les géants du numérique.

These little USB-C adapters are neat! I can get most typical project voltages through Werewolf's VFLEX power adapters, and use them as a substitute for my bench power supply—in some cases.
(Note: Werewolf sent me a couple sets to test.)
