Oh dear. The GPG key of the Debian repository from Grafana did expire yesterday:

Err:10 apt.grafana.com stable InRelease
Sub-process /usr/bin/sqv returned an error code (1), error message is: Signing key on B53AE77BADB630A683046005963FA27710458545 is bad: The primary key is not live because: Expired on 2025-08-23T16:33:45Z
Fetched 288 kB in 0s (1,091 kB/s)

The new one exists at apt.grafana.com/gpg.key but at least in my environment, it required manual intervention:

wget -q -O - apt.grafana.com/gpg.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/grafana.gpg > /dev/null

Numbers coming out great for my recent home #solar install; the #metrics in the dashboard are wrong though; my average daily power generation was actually 64.99 kWh so far this month, not 26 kWh as shown in the #monitoring app, because it’s not taking into account the days my system was off and I was waiting for the utility approval before I could start making all my own artisinally-crafted #electrons. We use about ~31 kWh daily in this household, so I’ll be needing to do some work to ensure $0 bills all year round, with the utility’s net metering program I’ve got us running on. #solarpunk #punkAF #ArtisinalEnergy #LifeGoals #SolarHomelab

Just published: My article on PHP Best Practices in Production is in the latest PHP magazin (in German)!

It covers:
- Performance and deployment tips
- Monitoring and error handling
- Common real-world mistakes to avoid

#FreeBSD recommendations for #monitoring #alerting #observability sought. I have a much loved collectd + riemann that needs an upgrade.

Target is about 10 servers and 200 jails.

No apache2 /php, nagios or clones thereof please. I don’t have these in my stack today, and my expertise in managing them is about 20 years out of date. I prefer to avoid JVM stuff but I’m not violently against it.

Doesn’t have to be in ports yet ( like sensu.io/ server) if it’s in a friendly language.

@thygrrr @PallasRiot every provider WILL SNITCH if provided with a duely issued warrant.

  • Not even @mullvadnet will refuse to comply, because investigators will only ask nice once, then they won't and instead kick in doors, start pointing guns with funswitches at staff and rip out hardware for evidence collection!

Granted #mullvad at least goes out of their way to minimize having any data they could hand over in the first place, but still: They too have #LawfulInterception boxes in place to isolate clients' and log their traffic.

  • I've yet to hear of a juristiction with actual internet connectivity that doesn't mandate that #Govware in the form of appliances.

And yes, I worked for an ISP in the past and had to deal with said #logging and #monitoring infrastructure as in keeping it up and running...

Today the European Commission will release a draft budget which is expected to make major changes to agribusiness subsidies (the CAP).

I think the only way to fix the #CAP is to kill it completely. Rename it and forget it. I'm not anti-regulation in general but I don't believe it's possible for bureaucrats in Bruxelles to meaningfully manage lands 2500 km away.

Why? Elinor Ostrom explains that quality #monitoring is essential in the management of the #commons.

I hit this issue on a client and it's a brutal situation to be in. It's like your application hitting a brick wall.

When your primary key runs out of integers to assign. Because, by default, a database like MySQL uses signed int32 for primary keys.

Does anyone monitor for this condition? If so, how? Do any mainstream RDBMS systems default to unsigned int64 for primary keys?
