In the quest for better energy efficiency, the applications themselves are often overlooked. Our industry likes to pretend that all technologies are equivalent and has forgotten that the choice of programming languages, frameworks and architecture have a major impact on energy consumption. The observation Today we are all aware of the environmental impact of the objects, tools, devices we use. We all know that when we use our car, this usage will have a “carbon” impact.

On-premise analytics demand grows as Google Analytics GDPR uncertainties continue - Jake Thornton Piwik

The Google Analytics GDPR relationship is a complicated one. Website owners in states like Berlin in Germany are now required to ask users for consent to collect their data. This doesn’t make for the friendliest user-experience and often the website visitor will simply click “no.” The problem Google Analytics now presents website owners in the EU is with more visitors clicking “no”, the less accurate your data will become. Why do you need to ask your visitors for consent? At this stage it’s simply because Google Analytics collects data for its own purposes. An example of this is using your (...) -- Privacy

create new plugin for graphing PuppetDB's usage of JVM Heapspace - lelutin munin-monitoring/contrib - GitHub

create new plugin for graphing PuppetDB's usage of JVM Heapspace PuppetDB requires a pretty high amount of memory allocated to it. If you don't give enough memory space to the JVM, PuppetDB might crash when it has fully used the available max memory. This plugin should be useful for better tuning up your instance(s) of PuppetDB. Currently, it's only compatible with PuppetDB 6.x since it's requesting data from the API as described for that version: https://puppet.com/docs/puppetdb/6.0/api/metrics/v1/mbeans.html#jvm-metrics To add support for more versions, one would need to consult the (...)

ProcessOne: What to expect in 2020? - Mickaël Rémond ProcessOne Blogs

As this is the end of the year, I’d like to take the opportunity to share with you how ProcessOne has changed over time and how it is approaching the next decade. ProcessOne was created to simplify the implementation of large-scale, real-time messaging services. In 2005, the most advanced tool was clearly Erlang. Since then, several technological revolutions have taken place, including the rise of the cloud and mobile. We have been involved in these revolutions in our own way and built innovative projects for almost two decades, with some major milestones, including ejabberd development (...)
