Hi, I’m Josh (he/him)

I’m obsessed with #devops, #observability and #databases. I’m a Developer Advocate at Altinity.

I run a home lab and I have no idea what’s on any of the assorted thumb drives around my home in Western Massachusetts.
Me: “I really don’t want any swag from this #kubecon

Also me: sticker haul

All of the after parties at #kubecon are a blast, but #sig-boba has a special place in my heart. Thank you @capileigh.bsky.social!!!

Dear Apple and Google and carriers - the FCC is obviously worthless now, so please fix this shit.

And now my watch has ended … until Monday at least 🫠

Is a café not just a streaming pipeline for caffeine?

Collaborating with @adrianamvillela.bsky.social has been just the best. And our talk is pretty good too, if I do say so myself. We’re about to uncover the truth of vendor-neutrality in #OpenTelemtry at #kcdwarsaw

More conferences please do this. Sincerely, a guy with way too many conference shirts. #cndaustria

Finally got to meet @didiviking.bsky.social in person at #sreday - her talk showcasing the @victoriametrics.bsky.social cardinality explorer was great!

Really enjoyed @zeroshade.columnar.tech’s talk at #COC25 - TIL when one would use Arrow and Parquet together 💡

Open formats are arguably even more important than open source - which is one of many reasons why I love #OpenTelemetry - join me in Elicium 1 for an intro! #ossummit

I’m not usually one to indulge in meta-discussions about #DevRel, but @horovits.bsky.social ‘s excellent talk at #ossummit spawned some very interesting ideas and conversations!

With the announcement of the formation of the DevRel Foundation under the LF, I’m excited for maturity.

Only @hazelweakly.me could “accidentally write the GitHub actions for the entire Haskell project” … in a day or two. “And now everybody is using it!”

If you’re not as prolific as she is, be careful what you release for others to use 🤪

Dawn (@geekygirldawn.bsky.social) gives a great comparison of the relative growth in several open source hard forks

Sneak peak of my new homelab monitoring stack:

#proxmox -> #influxdb OTel receiver -> #clickhouse exporter -> Altinity ClickHouse #grafana datasource

Blog post coming soon.

Learning CAD and 3D printing has been incredibly rewarding. It’s also forcing me to step back and plan more than my typical heathen software developer ways.

It was the WiFi module (that killed my Beelink S12 Pro) #minipc #homelab

I think I need to move to Denver just so bacon-wrapped jalapeños can be a bigger part of my life #ossna

Should I be embarrassed that I used an iPad to deliver a talk about #NixOS at a #linux conference? #self2025

#bsidesbuffalo was a blast. Kat Fitzgerald has entirely too much fun with honeypots.
