CI/CD Observability with OpenTelemetry - A Step by Step Guide | SigNoz - In the fast-paced world of CI/CD, understanding the performance and behaviour of your pipelines is crucial. In this guide, we’ll walk through setting up OpenTelemetry for GitHub Actions, with practical examples and configuration snippets.
Auto activating a python virtualenv · GitHub - Auto activating a python virtualenv. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.
I thought I was doing an ‘ok’ thing here, but never felt comfortable with the solution. Here’s the solution I came with AND a link in the comments with a much better to manage dependencies for scripts. NB: the new solution is also in my links.
I tried Google’s secret open source app and glimpsed the power of offline AI - Available only on GitHub, Google AI Edge Gallery is the company’s new AI app. But what does it do, and how does it compare to Gemini?
Setup | Ruff - An extremely fast Python linter and code formatter, written in Rust.
ruff is quick - like proper quick. I hear stories of people making it a pre-commit, it’s that quick.
Running scripts | uv - A guide to using uv to run Python scripts, including support for inline dependency metadata, reproducible scripts, and more.
I thought about doing virtualenv auto-activate - but that seemed counter-intuitive. Using uv to control dependencies and execute scripts is a much happier place.
Remote GitHub MCP Server is now in public preview - GitHub Changelog - Connect AI agents to GitHub tools and context with OAuth, one-click setup, and automatic updates with GitHub’s hosted server.
www.spaceweatherlive.com - None
Google Online Security Blog: On Fire Drills and Phishing Tests - None
Cloudflare service outage June 12, 2025 - Multiple Cloudflare services, including Workers KV, Access, WARP and the Cloudflare dashboard, experienced an outage for up to 2 hours and 22 minutes on June 12, 2025.

Scammers impersonating the ASD’s ACSC | Cyber.gov.au - Scammers are impersonating the ASD’s ACSC sending out phishing emails to the public with the email content suggesting to download a malicious antivirus program.
NIST Offers 19 Ways to Build Zero Trust Architectures | NIST - The examples use off-the-shelf commercial technologies, giving organizations valuable starting points
Ubuntu 25.10 Replaces sudo With a Rust-Based Equivalent - The New Stack - The new sudo-rs is meant to be a near drop-in replacement for sudo, but some of the less secure aspects of sudo will not be supported.
Rusty sudo
AWS Launches EKS Dashboard to Tackle Multi-Cloud Kubernetes Complexity - InfoQ - Introducing the Amazon EKS Dashboard: a centralized management tool delivering unified visibility across multiple Kubernetes clusters in AWS. Simplifying operational oversight, it offers insights on r
immich.app - Self-hosted photo and video management solution
Easily back up, organize, and manage your photos on your own server. Immich helps you browse, search and organize your photos and videos with ease, without sacrificing your privacy.
A self-hosted photo editing app that reportedly challenges some of Google Photo’s features. I remain skeptical, but interested.
www.evolutionaustralia.com.au - myenergi CT Clamp
A clamp to go on your main electrical supply line that, when connected to appropriate device to capture and display the data.
From the page: If you would like to see real time generation from your solar/wind system displayed on the LCD display of your product. You’ll need an additional CT. (additional option)
In some cases extra CT clamps are required i.e for 3 phase installs.
Ver 2 Single Phase zappi comes with one wired CT clamp as standard.
Ver 2 Three Phase zappi comes with three wired CT clamps as standard.
CT clamps come with a 5m cable
If a longer cable is required it can be extended using CAT5 Ethernet cable (to a max of 100m) or consider using the myenergi harvi to connect the CT over wireless.

It’s The End Of Observability As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) | Honeycomb - The history of observability tools over the past decade has been about a pretty simple concept, but LLMs bring the death of that paradigm.
Canonical Confirms Ubuntu 25.10 Will Drop Support For GNOME On X.Org - Phoronix - In aligning with upstream GNOME 49 expected to ship with X11 support disabled by default, Canonical announced today that the upcoming Ubuntu 25.10 release will also ship without support for running the GNOME desktop on X11.
