Panopticon: Uptime-Kuma and Grafana Monitoring Each Other
Description
A diagram-style meme on grid paper background with bold white impact-font text 'PANOPTICON' at top and bottom. In the middle, the Uptime-Kuma logo (a green kawaii blob, labeled 'Uptime-Kuma') and the Grafana logo (orange spiral flame, labeled 'Grafana') are connected by two opposing arrows, each labeled 'Monitors' - Uptime-Kuma monitors Grafana, and Grafana monitors Uptime-Kuma. The meme satirizes circular monitoring architectures in self-hosted/homelab setups: each observability tool watches the other, invoking Bentham's panopticon (and 'who watches the watchmen') while guaranteeing that if both go down together, nobody gets alerted

Who monitors the monitors? The monitors—because trust is not an SLO.
