   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

• Anyone else using unifi to track the isp outages?

  I'd recommend setting up SmokePing or Vaping to get a better idea of latency and connectivity. Source: 10 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: 11 months ago

• lightweight monitoring tool

  I personally like smokeping, https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/ . Has lots of different probes so you can do more than just "ping if it is alive". Source: about 1 year ago

• 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

• Is there anything you’ve found immensely helpful in grad school?

  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

• The Constant Gardener

  Helping out non-profits is a completely different timeline all together. Ever since I started juggling these projects, I have to keep tabs on my own. I utilize Toggl to keep track of my hours.

Because there are other organizations out there that could use my assistance. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• How do I keep good records of the work performed by me when working for my own business as either the business owner or an employee of the business? And some other related questions

  3.The only way I've come across to document the amount of time spent is to use timesheets or time tracking softwares. Some examples of time tracking softwares are Toggl, Hubstaff, and Time Doctor. Would time tracking softwares be more believable given that some independent tool is being used to track my tasks? Source: 10 months ago
