I am going to enjoy ripping out span events so much when the time comes y’all. It’s going to be so satisfying! I bet it will feel like pealing surprise protective plastic off a screen that you’ve used and been mildly annoyed with for years.

Never before has a turtle turtled this hard. Zoom in and appreciate The Foot

A fantastic painted turtle stands on a snag in a stream. Turtle has a smooth black carapace with bright red edges. Its neck and legs are a glorious riot of yellow racing stripes. It has its neck fully extended staring at the sky and the back right leg and foot are completely extended. This is an epic pose by a creature at the peak of its powers.

Friends, I need someone to be very real with me about Docker's whole trace export thing. Why is it like that?

Mila Ardath (they/them) @ctrlspice.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

You can see your correlated logs in the trace waterfall now and also they cluster instead of overlapping which is nice

590) Leakbots. If you have a household leak, use these instead of various pots and pans, buckets, or whatever to catch the water. They move around to intercept drips, empty themselves, and only occasionally fall asleep. #SmallRobotsRemastered

A set of five robots in the form of flat-bottomed bowls of various sizes, partially filled with water and each with a pair of banded legs on the bottom and eyes on the front. One is walking off somewhere, the smallest is being surprised by a splash landing in it and one on the far right has fallen asleep - a small puddle has formed beside it as a result. A series of drips are falling from above.

Hey folks! otel-desktop-viewer 0.5.0 is out now and also the project just passed 1k stars on GitHub, so I figured I'd (re-)introduce it: ctrlspice.codes/rebuilding-o...

ctrlspice.codes

I rebuilt otel-desktop-viewer on top of DuckDB

and all I got was locally searchable traces, metrics, and logs.

not getting read for filth by the semver.org FAQ or anything. oh no.

A screenshot from the semver.org faq section reads as follows:

How do I know when to release 1.0.0?

If your software is being used in production, it should probably already be 1.0.0. If you have a stable API on which users have come to depend, you should be 1.0.0. If you’re worrying a lot about backward compatibility, you should probably already be 1.0.0.

I set up some cline rules to make my Kimi models occasionally take on the tone/mannerisms of F1 driver Kimi Antonelli. This has been overall delightful, except that time where Kimi2.7 exceeded track limits and made a bunch of GitHub issues filled to the brim with F1 jargon 😅
