If you've tried both Thanos and Mimir, which do you prefer? Feel free to comment why below

So, I've been using Thanos to receive and store my prometheus metrics long term in a self hosted S3 bucket. Thanos also acts as a datasource for my dashboards in Grafana, and provides a Ruler, which evaluates alerting rulers and forwards them to my alertmanager. It's ok. It's certainly got it's downsides, which I can go into later, but I've thinking... what about Mimir?
How do you all feel about Grafana's Mimir (source on GitHub)? It's AGPL and seems to literally be a replacement of Thanos, which is Apache 2.0.
Thanos description from their website:
Open source, highly available Prometheus setup with long term storage capabilities.
Mimir description from their website:
...open source software project that provides horizontally scalable, highly available, multi-tenant, long-term storage for Prometheus and OpenTelemetry metrics.
Both with work with alloy and prometheus alike. Both require you to configure initially confusing hashrings and replication parameters. Both have a bunch of large companies adopting them, so... now I feel conflicted. Should I try mimir? Poll in reply.

Prometheus a sculpture from two years ago. Now I'm thinking Elephantman?
"From different angles, no clear head or foot, punctured slits and holes.. Prometheus tends to change its shape. Opening.. and closing…
Together with the constant change in light, during night and day and its geometric perforated shell Prometheus creates a changing play between shadow and light."

Very happy to discover how easy it is to extend `node_exporter` with custom metrics:
Add `--collector.textfile.directory=/some/place` to the daemon's arguments (e.g. via ARGS in `/etc/default/prometheus-node-exporter`), and write `*.prom` files in that directory with your favorite tool, and **boom!**
Text format doc with a very good example: https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats/
Creating Grafana alerts is something I'm less comfortable with, but I'm starting to get the hang of it…

Lispector' s posthumous work explores religion, creation, imagination, humility, and so much more as an author explores his relationship with a character he creates.
Interested in #containers, #docker, #OCI and #guix #declarative #configuration?
Watch Giacomo Leidi's talk about self-hosting @forgejo using Guix's container backed configuration. Check it out 
His Gocix project shows how to bring together container-based software while benefiting from the resilience of declarative configuration! He has services for #prometheus #grafana #traefik #bonfire and more!

I'm going to be at #kubecon. At the maintainers summit beforehand, at the contribfest, and at the #headlamp project pavilion.
Contribfest session: https://kccnceu2025.sched.com/event/1td0n
I'm looking forward to connecting with folks working on different projects. People have been quite busy building out Headlamp Kubernetes UIs for ecosystem tooling and standards like #gatewayapi #prometheus #keda #flux #minikube #backstage #inspektorgadget #flagger and #certmanager

Want #cloudnative but with the power of #declarative configuration? The recoverability of #transactions for system configuration?
Wednesday it's the online #guix meet-up! With a great talk by @paulbutgold
about running docker / oci containers using the Guix configuration system.
His Gocix project has #prometheus, #grafana, #forgejo, #conduit and #traefik examples.

Thoughts on #netdata: It's easy to set up and by default it showed me a lot of metrics that I didn't know existed. It seems hard to customize and I don't like how it always tries to connect home. Should I try #Grafana / #Prometheus , or #VictoriaMetrics ?
It's the #DayOfHelios / Sol's Day / #Sunday! 
"#Zeus then sent #Hermes to Atreus and told him to get Thyestes to agree that Atreus should rule [Argos], if #Helios (the Sun) should journey backwards. Thyestes agreed, and Helios put his setting where he usually rose."

This week we talked about the #mythology of the #constellation #Centaurus
While the main story is about the centaur Chiron, his story also intersects with Prometheus, who was punished by Zeus to have his liver eaten by an Eagle every day... truly nightmare fuel
