    I feel the vindication in my bones.

    The talk he gave at Usenix LISA was one of the best ever!

    It struck me how much more useful information the graphs and diagrams here provide over their flashier counterparts you commonly see today.

    The old-fashioned aesthetic almost feels like a cue what I'm looking at won't be slop.

      Some of these charts are made using rrdtool:

      rrdtool is still used widely today by projects like Munin, LibreNMS and Collectd.

      Don't worry, I'm sure we can teach a slop generator how to emulate this style. LLMs already know how to use rrttool and mrtg! Coming soon to an Internet near you, faux-historical slop writeups.
