Am I supposed to feel sympathy when someone keeps all their data on a single platform's "free" services & then loses access arbitrarily and has no access to "their" data?

Rust/WASM lighting data toolkit – parses legacy formats, generates SVGs
With Rusty Aquarium you can display monitoring data as a serene aquarium with little fish swimming around.
Each fish can be a data point, and the type of fish, its size and speed can represent different values.
This makes a much prettier presentation of the data than boring old graphs. It also allows presenting sensitive data in a public space, as only those who know what the fish represent can understand the data. Representing business value in this way can make more people interested and engaged with the monitoring, when the fish representing their work shows up on the screen.
