สำหรับใครที่กำลังมองหาระบบเก็บ log ดีๆ ที่มี web UI สำหรับหาข้อมูลเก่าๆ ขอแนะนำ aiosyslogd เขียนด้วย Python โดยเก็บ log ลงบน SQLite โดยจะ auto rotate ไฟล์ database ทุกเดือน ทำให้การจัดการ log เก่าง่าย จะลบข้อมูลเก่าก็แค่ลบไฟล์ทิ้ง
(ทดสอบแล้ว เก็บ log 100-200 ล้าน logs ต่อเดือนได้สบายๆ)
การค้นหาก็เป็น Full-Text Search โดยใช้ FTS5 ของ SQLite และยังมี feature ให้ hilight เพื่อเน้นข้อความที่เรากำลังสนใจ และ feature redact ให้ถมดำทับข้อความที่อ่อนไหวด้านความปลอดภัย เช่น IP, MAC address และ user
ใครอยากใช้และลงเองได้ เชิญได้เลยครับ เป็น Open Source โดยมี License แบบ MIT ใครอยากให้ติดตั้งให้ติดต่องานได้ครับ รับติดตั้งและดูแลกันไปยาวๆ เขียน code เอง ดูแลเองครับ
GitHub: github.com/cwt/aiosyslogd
SourceHut: sr.ht/~cwt/aiosyslogd/
PyPI: pypi.org/project/aiosyslogd/
ถ้าใช้แล้วชอบรบกวนกดดาวให้หน่อยครับ ถ้ามีอะไรอยากให้ปรับปรุงส่ง ticket / issue ได้เลยครับ

I've been meaning to do this for a while now but this past week I finally got around to starting the nand2tetris course, this time with my 2 kids
I bought the book a few years ago, but I found out recently that they've added a free course on Coursera that seems to have all the same materials: coursera.org/learn/build-a-com…
it steps you thru the process of building up a working computer architecture from the most barebones starting point; if you're interested in learning on a lower level how computers work, I'd highly recommend it--it feels rigorous without being unapproachable

Why doesn't the VGE argue honestly? Are they afraid that if they put forward the real arguments, their business model will collapse?
