Qbserve VS Restart on Crash

Somebody else pointed out RescueTime, but if keeping it local is a priority, I recommend Qbserve, which I've been using (mostly passively in the background) for a few years now. [0] https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

One of the hardest things for me about grad school (that I'm still struggling with!) is figuring out how to schedule my own day when I have few external things keeping my day in shape for me. it's been really helpful just to have the data of how much time I usually spend on things/what I've done that day... I can see where all my time is going lmao and readjust as needed. I use toggl track in conjunction with... Source: 5 months ago

An unconventional, and somewhat uncomfortable bit of discipline: I used Qbserve (for mac), which is an automatic time tracker. I taught it which websites were productive (/r/LaTeX, StackExchange, and ArXiV.org) and which were not (/r/GradSchool etc lol). It notified me when I was spending too much time not being productive, and also notified me when I had done "enough". Source: over 1 year ago

I use Qbserve [1] after seeing it mentioned in a previous thread. Really helpful for seeing where time was spent over the course of the day/week. Collected data all stored locally too [1] https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

I use Restart On Crash because of this issue. Not necessarily with Plex, but with the other apps on my system. It is nice because it also keeps a log, so it helps you to figure out if there is a pattern to the crashes. Source: over 1 year ago

You could also look into restarting eventghost after a crash using something like restart on crash, or look at running EG as a service. Source: about 2 years ago

What I ended up doing was scheduling my server to restart once a week in the middle of the night, and I also started using this nifty program called Restart on Crash to automatically kill the plex process and restart it whenever the server would hang up or crash. Source: about 2 years ago

I've been using this myself for a better part of the year and has always done its job Https://w-shadow.com/blog/2009/03/04/restart-on-crash/. Source: over 2 years ago
