By Dimitri Bellini Insights
We are approaching a very exciting time. Around June or July, we expect the release of Zabbix 8.0 LTS. But right now, the testing cycle has begun. I’ve taken a close look at Zabbix 8.0 Alpha2 to see what new features, improvements, and "game changers" are being introduced. Whether you are managing a small home lab or a massive enterprise infrastructure, there is something here for you.

Let’s break down the most significant updates found in this release.

Good morning everyone! I'm Dimitri Bellini, and welcome back to Quadrata, my channel dedicated to the open-source world and IT solutions that I love—and that I know you will love too.

Usually, we talk about enterprise software or complex solutions, but this week I want to present something different. It is a truly stunning object, not dedicated to the enterprise world, but to all of you who love making objects, building embedded systems, playing with sensors, and trying alternative solutions. Today, we are diving into the M5Stack Cardputer Advanced.

Good morning everyone! I’m Dimitri Bellini, and welcome back to Quadrata, my channel dedicated to the open-source world and technology that I love—and that I hope you love too.

If you’ve been following my recent experiments, you might remember my attempt to build a Telegram bot using a software called Clawdbot/Moltbot (or similar variants). To be honest? It was a bit of a glamorous failure. But in the world of technology, a failed experiment is just a stepping stone to a better solution.

As always, this content is driven by you—the community. Your likes, comments, and feedback help me broaden my horizons and bring you the best solutions every week.

Today, we are diving into something truly special. We have a thriving community here in the Zabbix Italia Telegram group, now boasting over 600 active users. It’s a place where we discuss everything from embarrassing questions to high-level corporate strategies. Recently, a very prolific member of our community, Manuel, released a repository of custom Zabbix modules that he developed himself.

Good morning everyone, and welcome back to Quadrata! Given the special time of year, I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. This week, I have something truly special to share—a real game-changer for anyone using Zabbix, particularly the 7.0 Long-Term Support (LTS) release.

As many of you know, Zabbix 7.0 is the go-to version for production environments where stability and long-term support are critical. While it's fantastic, I've always felt there were a few missing pieces in the dashboarding experience, especially when compared to some features in the newer 7.4 release. Today, that changes. Thanks to the incredible work of our friend Ryan Eberly, we now have a powerful, feature-rich Table widget backported to version 7.0!
