Indonesia is the first test case for the Forest Stewardship Council’s new remedy framework, which allows logging firms to regain ethical certification by addressing past environmental and social harms.

However, NGOs have found serious flaws in the process, including lack of consent, rushed assessments, and exclusion of many affected Indigenous communities.

Albanese government plotted to maintain native forest logging in NSW if court battle was lost, documents show https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/jul/24/albanese-government-plotted-to-maintain-native-forest-logging-in-nsw-if-court-battle-was-lost-documents-show

Albanese has no love for our environment.

So there's this #ai thing out here.
People who are on the bleeding edge and doing this in prod/at scale/at enterprises: how do you handle #otel #tracing and #logging of #llm calls?

There's only really semconv for traces as of now, and everyone in their playground is happy about seeing those huge prompts as attributes, but I think (and hear) that this won't work at most enterprises.

I can see that #GenAI Events[1] are the recommended way of handling messages/responses, which actually makes sense in terms of separating likely sensitive information from the more useful telemetry. I can imagine these to be generally more useful for security teams (auditing) than ops people.

I have a couple of questions from a practical point of view though:
- How should one separate these events from tracing data in terms of processing/ingestion?
- How should one still have the complete audit trail of what has happened (which agent called what other agent that get information via another tool and dumped some part of the source code as a response to the original question)?

I guess linking events to traces/spans would work, but depending on whether you have a single backend (SaaS vendor) or multiple this can get tricky from a UX point of view.

Boosts are welcomed!

No Encrypting and compressing files does not always work and especially not if the data is minimal or has compression integrated in the data format – not new but always funny in your own projects.

Looking north, towards the old Comox Logging & Railway log dump and breakwater. Town of Comox across the bay. At one time during its history the CL&R was the largest private railway operation in the British Empire.

I spent some time researching exporting JSON logs from various applications on my #pfSense router. I came across a lot of "just use syslog-ng" in forums. I decided to put together notes with the details on how to do that in case you don't want to think about it yourself:

Hat hier jemand Meinungen zu OTel Collector vs #Grafana Alloy um Metriken und Logs in #VictoriaMetrics/Loki zu bekommen? Ich hab zwei Junior #DevOps Menschen die sich die Köpfe einschlagen welches besser ist und meiner Meinung nach ist es scheiß egal, weil Telegraf eh flexibler ist

Great video on roadless areas around #lassenpark in #EasternCalifornia by a forest manager and cartographer.

Logging risked areas may not help with fire and land management. There's a lot of nuance that goes into proper stewardship of forests, highly managed forests of dense monocrop trees burn hotter than less continuous and varied stands actively managed with prescribed fire.
