I like it because I use it for MELT in general. Prometheus generally does metrics and if you want to include logs, traces and events, it becomes more cumbersome. With the Otel collector, I can just update my collector configuration to point to the various services.

I’m not saying OP can’t use what you suggested, just stating what I would use.

I would use OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana…

Fingers crossed for you.

Had to explain that to my nephew. He couldn’t save anything because iCloud was full. His Mac had like 300gigs available, but he couldn’t save anything…

Almost as if it were planned…

I like Micsrosofts office suite, but I hate virtually everything else. I got tired of their recent decisions and bought an Apple laptop, partly because I’m getting into iOS development and wanted that experience. But my other computer is dual booted with Fedora and Windows for when I absolutely need Windows, I’ll swap over, bit rarely do I outside of some gaming.

That’s the first one I thought of as well. And your third point, too… Haha

I just got two Tapo C120 and 2 C125. Pretty happy with them so far.

I thought that would lead me to a das keyboard.

Cloudflare and Namecheap. I would use Cloudflare because of cost

I think xamarin has been replaced with MAUI.

Kotlin and Swift have similar syntax and neither are like Python to be honest. If I were to pick one, Kotlin all the way. You can do a fair amount of back-end work with itas well.

These days, you have several options. You could use JavaScript/Typescript via React Native which builds both iOS and Android.

You could use Kotlin Multi-Platform, builds both iOS and Android, vut I believe you will need to know some Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS.

You could use Flutter, which uses the Dart programming language, also builds both iOS and Android.

Then there is MAUI using C#, builds both iOS and Android.

Finally, you could resort to native for each platform.

As you can see, there are plenty of options. Picking one comes down to what you need and which language works for you. Keep in mind, most of the languages aren’t really close to Python.

Good luck.

Take deep breaths and remember to drink plenty of water.

jean, we pronounce it jean.

I did something slightly different. I dual boot windows and linux. But each one is on a different hard drive. I have two SSDs that each one is dedicated to. Makes things easier.

Don’t give elon any ideas.

Thank you.

+1 for Kotlin. You’ll pick it up fairly fast if you uave used Java.

I had a few programs for various things and one was simply an extension from the gnome extension manager. I updated it and my screen turned black and I couldn’t get it back. I had to revert to a previous version, then uninstall everything until I figurd out what caused it.

It took several hours.
