   Such a helpful tool

   Smokeping used to be one of my favourity tools when I was working as a SysAdmin long time ago. It's offers such a clever way of presenting the data, that it is super easy to identify any issues.

   I still wonder why modern tools haven't adopted this ingenious technique.

   👍 Pros:    Usability

   👎 Cons:    Not actively maintained

  I'd recommend setting up SmokePing or Vaping to get a better idea of latency and connectivity. Source: 11 months ago

• N-Central, Connectivity Service and 15 minute minimums, oh my!

  Let me introduce you to a rather old, but still highly useful, tool for free. Takes a little leg work to get going, but pays off in style. https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/. Source: 11 months ago

• Is there any way to fix packet loss!?

  So I would run Smoke Ping (https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/) for a while to get an idea of the loss. If it really is an external issue, you can try a VPN to hopefully pickup a different route. Source: 12 months ago

• lightweight monitoring tool

• Cox Monitoring -- something changed around 9:30 last night

  I previously made a post asking for some ping results for various people in the area. Thank you to everyone who replied. Some of the comments encouraged me to set up a more proper monitoring system for keeping track of latencies to various servers, and to consider more than just ICMP ping as said packets are likely deprioritized. I set up an instance of SmokePing and have it monitoring a number of services, as... Source: about 1 year ago

  Since Astro is a static site generator, I could host the site for free on Cloudflare. I've never used Cloudflare before, but they've been pretty popular lately due to their free hosting and CDN. I was impressed with how easy it was to set up, and the performance was great. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• One Worker to Track Them All: Injecting Analytics Scripts into Multiple Websites with Cloudflare Workers

  Except that there is. Cloudflare is pretty great for free SSL certificates and DNS management, but they also offer a free Workers plan. A Cloudflare worker is basically JavaScript code that runs on Cloudflare's edge network and handles HTTP traffic. You can do a lot with workers, including modifying/rewriting HTML responses. You can probably see where this is going: If a worker can modify HTML responses, then it... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
