I bought it for €10 5 years ago, in terms for gaming value for money I think only the €10 I spent on Minecraft beats it.

I don't think there's any clear standard. There's many confusions about push vs pull that make the discussions hard to follow, as they often make apples to oranges comparisons. For example the push you're talking about i

This isn't about getting input from a camera (which works fine), but making the output of OBS appear as a camera to the rest of the system.

It seems to work fine for the Irish presidential elections, which are single winner. The Irish presidency is almost entirely a ceremonial role.

That works until there's ~only self-checkouts, then it gets slow again. There's a knack to using them, and unless you have a generous number of them (I know of only two local stores that do), you end up getting stuck while the sin

16k samples/s is not a lot. There are many Prometheus users with hundreds of thousands of samples/s on a single Prometheus server. Across their organisations it can be much more, Fastly has reported 2.2M/s ( https:/&#x2F

We've a STV system in Ireland, I'm not sure you'd classify our independents as centrist (by the Irish definition of centrist - by the US definition almost all our politicians are far left). Overall the system works quite well

Prometheus is not intended as durable long term storage, it's fundamentally limited to the size of a machine. You should also design your monitoring be able to tolerate completely losing the data of a Prometheus. We recommend using ano

Splunk is a event logging system, compared to Prometheus which is metrics based. You need both types of systems to be able to properly observe your systems, they're complementary.

The third version of the InfluxDB database is basically the same core design as Prometheus's third database version which 2.0 uses. I'd expect performance to be broadly similar, maybe a little better with Prometheus as we can take

> But yes it is possible to miss some requests if a node goes down without Prometheus collecting the latest stats. The rate() function allows for this, you'll get the right answer on average.
