I'm working on Monitor Monkey[1]

It's attempting to be the easiest and nicest way to monitor Linux servers. I'm currently implementing 0 config custom alerting. All you will have to do is write a file to a home directory with some json in it e.g event_name:blah,interval:1m,data=10 - no server side config at all!

So should be quite suitable for big deployments :)

If one of these tools has broad model support (like aider) it would be a game changer.

:( big sad

Hahahaa well that might work but I wish you could just say `aider --go-hog-wild`

I'm a bit confused here, what promt do you use to start Aider and how do you just let Aider run wild so you can play cookie clicker?

Trouble is when it sprawls into an unmaintainable mess. This software will all rot away

The trouble comes when a non dev makes slopware and it becomes relied upon. Then it will inevitably all come falling down.

Yes it's a good litmus test of a good website or not. I hope Hugo will be around for a long time :)

Yes I've thought a bit more about this topic and am actually writing up a response to my own post - Database are probably ok if you take a raw .sql backup; which is essentially plain text, or at least will be viewable in some form in the future.

My Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMiInY8BhSUtCarO6uu6i_g Videos about Linux and tech in general, I try and be entertaining as well as educational!

If anyone is interested in the tech behind this; I used the Django rest framework and vanilla javascript to write the extension. I wrote it to be compatible with Firefox and chrome with the firefox polyfill which worked a treat in development.

Until I came to publish and I had to convert the chrome extension to manifest V3 which was not as easy as I thought it would be.

The chrome approvals process also took way longer then firefox did!

testing!

Unfortunately not, I guess I could measure that using log analytics. Perhaps I'll do another right up on the impact of getting to the #1 of HN

Yeah it's all default apache + mod_wsgi. This is also my first Django setup and I made it over-complicated as a learning exercise. mpm_event is something I have not heard of before, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

My blog is fine, my self hosted analytics (on another server) not so much!

Nope, website has not changed at all - speaking of the Matomo tracking; that is running on a separate server and has actually crashed!

Thanks! Just goes to show that it runs quickly even when it hits #1 on HN ;)

Yeah a varnish install locally is the next step up from what I am doing I guess. Spinning up multiple POPs + cloudflare is way to much IMO

That's why I made this post, was very happy to see how much it could theoretically handle.

Yeah if I was building a business website I would want distributed caching/a CDN, mainly to support spikes, like what is happening now!

:)

It is! It's crashed my analytics but the website seems to be doing fine.

I am cloud hosting using OVH cloud, I brought the server a couple of years ago now so they probably have some better specs for the price I am paying.

Accurate description!

How have they gotten there search results?

If you have also used laravel then that's probably the best option. No need to get your colleague to learn another framework. Also larvel is pretty great nowadays :)

Who in a business will listen to a podcast? I have always thought about them as entertainment or an educational medium.
