I’m currently using InfluxDB + Telegraf + Grafana combination to monitor Linux systems and k3s pods. It’s basically same as Prometheus, but InfluxDB uses push model, which makes it easier to develop tools for collecting custom time series data.

For alerts and dashboards, I think Grafana is the simplest and most hassle free solution available at the moment.

I have a APC Back-UPS 1600VA. It powers two desktop PC/Server, a monitor, and router. So far, it gets the job done.

The biggest downside is; battery is not user replaceable, at least it’s not straight forward like the other models. If possible, prefer a UPS with the easy battery replacement option.

Road to success (2024 AI Hype Edition):

1. Clone VSCode.
2. Rename it as LSCode, squash all history, and create some random commits with --author="Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>".
3. Add a character AI that calls your code garbage.
4. Profit.

Jiatan probably is in shambles right now. Poor guy spends years to infiltrate in a project and got caught. Meanwhile CrowdStrike took whole infrastructure down with a single update.
