Innovative data compression for time series: An open source solution

Introduction There’s no escaping the role that monitoring plays in our everyday lives. Whether it’s from monitoring the weather or the number of steps we take in a day, or computer systems to ever-popular IoT devices. Practically any activity can be monitored in one form or another these days. This generates increasing amounts of data to be pored over and analyzed–but storing all this data adds significant costs over time. Given this huge amount of data that only increases with each passing da

Show HN: Open-source private home security camera system (end-to-end encryption)

I needed a security camera inside my house, one that would send motion notifications to my smartphone and would allow me to livestream remotely. However, I could not find one that I could trust due to privacy concerns. Many of them upload the plaintext of videos to their servers and none is fully open-source as far as I know. Therefore, I decided to use my spare time to build one from scratch. Called Privastead (as in Private Homestead), it uses OpenMLS for end-to-end encryption (between the cam

Why does OpenTelemetry work differently on mobile versus backend apps?

Member post by Jamie Lynch, Senior Software Engineer at Embrace OpenTelemetry has historically been adopted mainly on backend systems, where it’s a great solution for gaining insight into what’s happening in production by gathering telemetry via an open standard. This avoids the dreaded costs of vendor lock-in because as long as a provider supports the OTel data format, you can easily switch and take control over your own data. Up until now, OTel’s adoption on mobile has not been quite as
