I love this idea. It's not meant to teach people everything, but it shows the basic SELinux concepts in a fun manner, that is different from the typical dry written documentation.

The best utility that this has is that it gets people asking questions. I could put this on my wall at work, and then when my colleagues ask about it, I could use it to segue into actually teaching them about SELinux. Putting the SELinux text documentation on my wall would not have the same effect.

Can you describe your workload and your experience with InfluxDB? We evaluated InfluxDB in 2015 and found that it fell apart due to the large amount of data we produce. I'd be interested in hearing your experiences to see if we need to reevaluate.

In addition, there is influx-mysql: https://github.com/philip-wernersbach/influx-mysql , if you're looking for a MySQL compatible solution.

This is an interesting external approach to metaprogramming in Go. After working with languages that have full metaprogramming capabilities, you really take for granted what metaprogramming gives you. The section "The Problem" really drives it home for me.

I hate to be that guy, but Slackware has been around for longer than FreeBSD, it beats it by a few months. One of Slackware's goals is to be Unix-like, and that decision is definitely evident in the distribution.
