wwilim··on The year I didn't survive
Grief and postpartum is a very dangerous combination. I know someone who landed in a mental facility for 5 weeks when her baby was barely 4 months old. Seek help, consult a psychiatrist, get therapy. Don't be afraid of medication, there are antidepressants that don't filter into your milk, and the doctor will know which ones they can safely give you, just tell them you're breastfeeding. You can manage going to therapy with a baby, many therapists allow you to bring your child. Don't let other people take control when they assume you're weak and failing, you're not. Take care.

wwilim··on The Great Splunkbundling (2021)
I briefly worked for a place which used Splunk for what you'd normally use ELK for. I found it way more forgiving and in many ways easier to deal with than ELK, if only for the 100% certainty that you can run any query on anything, even if it sometimes takes ages. It was an old version, too.
