    For a while now I’ve had Grafana hooked up to InfluxDB and Telegraf. Using Telegraf I setup pings to ips along my route to the larger internet, major dns providers, and several large internet sites. I measure response time and packet loss. It has allowed me to cut through the Comcast BS when diagnosing problems with them. I can tell them for sure that the problem is inside their network and is the X hop from my router.

    I recently started setting up Grafana over on a different server and I’m using Prometheus instead to monitor more than just the other server I was monitoring. I haven’t yet set it up with that but it looks like something similar is possible with Prometheus based on the small amount of research I’ve done on it.

    Same for me.
    -It works well
    -my dad (who has dementia) can use it
    -It runs even when the net goes down (means my dad is happy)
    -Can Transcode for our TV’s with premiere (would rather not have to pay for that)

    Have been thinking about Jellyfin…as I like the FOSS angle…and seems like it is gaining a lot of traction in the selfhost community. I host Emby Server on my Unraid server and our nVidia Shields play content great using the Emby app. Going to be investigating Jellyfin when I start to move the rest of my serivces off of Unraid.

    In Progress, needs tweaking:
    Making sure our AC only turns on when it can efficiently cool the house. Useful when we dip into the 50’s for lows while it’s 70’s+ during the day. Basically switch the thermostat to heat only to avoid the AC coming on.

    In the planning stage:
    Presence sensing in our bathroom to turn the light on for my dad in the middle of the night. Can’t use PIR motion detection as my dad moves very slow these days and actually defeats the PIR sensor in our hallway night light. I’m thinking mmWave is the way to go. Might try presence sensing when someone is on the toilet, turn the fan on, again, because sometimes he forgets.

    Just getting started really with automations right now.

    Running the PDS fork with the 5 second cooldown right now to do editing of all my posts and comments. Will wait a few days before deleting my account to make sure they stay edited.

    I wasn’t that active over the last 12 years, but it’s still taking a while. 3.3k karma here
    Honestly hoped that they wouldn’t go full idiot…but sadly…spez is in charge. He’s an insult to the idiot community.

    edit: took all night but 4k+ posts edited. Waiting a bit and checking occasionally to ensure they stay edited before deleting.

    Lack of a response to what was happening. I drew up this research in the middle of the protests…from them I saw nothing (expected something posted on their subreddit, I removed their app after finding nothing from them). It seemed like a lack of care. Because of that, this post by them seems disingenuous to me, it’s in response to the adoring fans posting to their subreddit. How many of those people posting love in their subreddit know about who the owners of the app are. Put two and two together and you know this is who Spez was talking about when he said some were just not willing to talk. I asked the same question of everyone who was unwilling to talk…why. I found answers for some…some had their words misrepresented by Spez…some hadn’t said anything that I found…such as BaconReader.
