The RE//verse conference has very high signal to nosie for reverse engineering content and attendees. I'd highly recommend it if it's an area you're interested in.
For logs I'd be more likely to choose https://www.gravwell.io as it's log agnostic and I've seen it crush 40Tb/s a day, whereas it looks like greptime is purpose-tuned for metrics and telemetry data.
I remember waiting the The Pitts renegade server to start at 5 PM. Great memories from that game, it's a shame Westwood was acquired right when it was released.
