How To Install Arduino IDE on Linux Mint 21 - idroot
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Arduino IDE on Linux Mint 21. For those of you who didn’t know, Arduino is a widely-used, open-source electronics platform used to create devices that interact with their environment using sensors and actuators. It consists of a programmable hardware board and a software (Integrated Development Environment) for writing and uploading programs to the board. Arduino runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and Linux.
This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of Arduino IDE on Linux Mint 21 (Vanessa).

I wish Prometheus had a table-driven label remapping feature
We operate a variety of websites and services that are known to users under general names (such as the website 'support.cs') but which are implemented by specific, known machines, such as our primary web server. When we do Blackbox external checks on these services, we have to do it under their general name, and by default this generic name will flow through to our "host" label. In turn, this means that if something happens to a machine (such as its Apache stopping responding), by default we'll get a number of alerts about different nominal hosts.
[...]
Sadly, I suspect that this is a sufficiently obscure or unpopular usage that Prometheus isn't likely to support it. There's also no obvious syntax or small feature addition that could do it, especially if you want to use a file for the mapping table. YAML does have a syntax for maps (aka dictionaries), so you could at least write an inline regex_map YAML map that had a bunch of regexs as the keys and then replacements as the values, but that doesn't fit nicely in with how the replacement attribute is defined.
