Life is uncertain. Diversifying income streams is anti-fragile.
Why I decided to build Disk Notifier 🧵
1/4

I just realized that Disk Notifier also works as an uptime monitor! If your server is down we'll tell you (because that's a connection error). Free stuff!

Disk Notifier uses SSH, df and the magic of 'forced commands'. When you sign up we'll give you ONE line to add to your servers 'authorized_keys' file. Here's what it all means:

Only 1%(!) of the respondents said unplanned downtime costs them up to $50.000 per hour. The remainder said much more! 🤯 the20.com/blog/the-cost-of-i… #downtimekills

So how does Disk Notifier check up on your disks? It's really quite simple. The first two steps are you, the remaining three us. #preventthatdowntime

At some point, I need to build some AI into this project of mine. I have the time-series data, now some anomaly detection! Any pointers?
You are busy. I get it. Still some monitoring on that server of yours is a good idea.
4 simple web based server monitoring tools!

Glances: this is really a CLI tool, but they copied the look and feel almost exactly to a webpage too. Crazy nerds. Doesn't do historical data.
Just had a user break Disk Notifier! Their 3 terabyte disk was to big to fit in and 4 byte int.
2 hours, 1 database migration and 4 commits further and the issue is fixed! 🎉

Unreal how great that song is.
I possibly want some graphs for Disk Notifier. What are the modern alternatives?

I've just had a fantastic chat with a helpful user of Disk Notifier. He pointed out that our server status page was a little bit ... machine-oriented.
All numbers are now human friendly (1.35GB instead of 135239529872).
More coming up!

I don't think `sysz` gets the love it deserves! Check out this tool if you frequently work with Systemd: github.com/joehillen/sysz
Just added an email/newsletter form to my site.
Often I have a latent interest in a project and want to keep up to date. I was wondering why the hell I didn't do that with Disk Notifier!
For an other project I banged out two blogposts on Friday afternoon after a grueling week. I was quite surprised.
