  • CPU/RAM/Disk/Network etc. get written to Influxdb via Telegraf, and visualized with Grafana.

    This is my exact setup and I love it (especially in comparison to the prometheus stack which I have to use at work). telegraf is so easy to use and extend. I have my own custom metrics for things like speed of my home internet connection (runs speedtests every hour), listener counts on my custom/private internet radio stream, or even fetching the daily food trucks rotation at a nearby lunch site (influx can handle text data!)

    I don’t do anything for logging but I also like UptimeKuma to keep and eye on things I run. Grafana has alerting but I find it pretty horrible.


  • I played through the 12 games required to get all the unlocks and it was pretty hilarious. There was something stupid funny about having half a dozen heavies converge at a location and blow up the hell out of each other with nukes, RPGs, and charge-and-slams.

    That said, I have played my fair share of heavy and the load out was almost identical to my usual, except for charge-and-slam, so it didn’t feel awkward. I’m also likely not to play much more as like you, I don’t like like Bank It as much as Cashout, and I’ve only played it for warm up or to test/practice new builds.



  • The Finals?

    It’s f2p, and I usually shy away from f2p games myself, but it’s done a great job of keeping it strictly about cosmetics if you are concerned about pay-to-win. Its team-based objectives an environment destruction are really fresh, in my opinion, and I’m enjoying a competitive FPS for the first time since Apex dropped. FWIW, I was also a huge fan of Titanfall 2 when online was active.

    It’s not for you if you if you want low TTK and 40 different guns to choose from while you run around deathmatching (ie you want COD style gameplay), though.

    I just play casual “quick play” and matchmaking is almost always under 30 seconds.
