Summary of HN discussion 🧵👇 #hacker-news
It even did some actual production monitoring because a Govt department wanted it as a backup alerting mechanism for our NSM tool.
It loaded a server list, did up/down checks for the host and windows services, and even had a state machine, and email alerting.
Ah.. simpler times 😶
Maybe it's time for me to resurrect 'Monitaurus' which was a VBScript based monitoring tool I wrote in about 2006. I did it as a joke to see if I could replicate 80% of what the 'Computer Associates NSM' product was doing for us. It was a success and in less than 1 kilobyte of code. 😂
I'm not [yet] aware of the degree of rust support available, but I've just written this article about MCP support for adding Otel, so I'm hoping things are going in a good direction.

looking forward to when read-aloud software knows about tech terms. one needs to read the text visually along with hearing it, to know they mean 'AWS' [not oars], and 'APIs' [not 'Ar-piss] 😂

I built a Rasberry Pi based TV mute controller for my LG WebOS tv, and I'm sending events to @honeycomb.io using their libhoney lib.
Nice to do a non-enterprise grade IT project for a change, i.e for fun.
I'll do a write up & link to the repo

hoping NZ left can get some confidence from this result and next year kick out the the absolute eggs that are currently in power over here.
nice one, should get me in the right direction for my little raspberry pi tv mute controller project. will send to @honeycomb.io
