Show HN: Linnix – eBPF observability that predicts failures before they happen

Neat but obvious AI slop (coming from someone who vibe codes a lot). The diagrams that don't align in the README, and a readme making ai typical bold claims that haven't been edited, make me doubt how much a human has even reviewed this software or tested it.
If the author hasn't reviewed or tested it why should anyone else bother?
I started this as a personal project to help with monitoring my personal projects. The eBPF monitoring works well - that part is solid.
The AI part is experimental, especially the idea of running inference on CPU (can't afford GPUs and didn't want to rely on OpenAI APIs, though that's where it started). It's hit-or-miss depending on the model.
Not production-tested at scale - just sharing in case it's useful to others who want to tinker with eBPF + Rust.
Full transparency: I did use AI to help write the documentation because honestly, writing docs feels boring and will review thoroughly now based on your feedback
Open sourcing something for the first times so trying and learning

It does seem super cool! But if you aren't even editing the basic README.md - it's not that you used AI to help, but that you that you didn't even do the most basic editing, I don't know what to trust. If I can't trust the docs why spend my time?

eBPF is so low level it feels like a mistake to let vibe coded slop exist there. I’ll have to pass until someone reputable reviews it, which I assume will be never.

Love the direction
AI is marked as experimental and optional.
Would love a couple real-world examples with numbers to see how it behaves under load.
Feels genuinely useful; excited to try it on a messy environment.

> The main difference from tools like Prometheus: most monitoring parses /proc files. This uses eBPF to get data directly from the kernel. More accurate, way less overhead.
Cloudflare's Prometheus exporter for eBPF has been around for quite a while now.
