Monitor your home's temperature and humidity with Raspberry Pis and Prometheus

Data is beautiful. As a #CitizenScientist, I enjoy gathering data and trying to make sense of the world around me. At work, we use Prometheus to gather metric data from our clusters, and at home, I use Prometheus to gather data from my hobbies. This article explores how to take an application—a Python script that gathers temperature and humidity data from a sensor—and instrument it to provide data in a model that Prometheus can gather. I'll also create a systemd service to start and manage the application.
Prometheus is an open source monitoring and alerting system that gathers metrics and provides a powerful query language for exploring data. I've written about setting up Prometheus locally at home. Prometheus is frequently used to gather data from container orchestration clusters such as Kubernetes and OpenShift.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
