You don’t have a lot of confidence in five year olds

Explain like I’m five.

There’s CHOCOLATE in my peanut butter!!!

I just started vaping more AND smoking because I could vape in my dorm during winter…

No disagreement inferred! Just playing along and pointing out the last link to those that may not get to it is all. I’ll just go back to doomscrolling election predictions and lamenting our lack of RCV here in the states.

Check out that last link I posted there

This kid just got 10k for saying rail infrastructure is failing due to a lack of maintenance. Specifically the springs at junctions. The main failing here in the US though is that rail maintenance falls to rail companies that have little financial incentive to spend the money on safety. That may be changing, however if the federal government just hands over money with inadequate oversight it will just enrich the companies.

Tesla FSD doesn’t exist. Musk lies and says it does to pump Tesla stock. Tesla drivers think they have FSD so they pay less attention and are then more likely to have an accident.

Do you own Tesla stock?

The deer are building subdivisions and stroads?

Please don’t fork WordPress. There’s better CMS out there. Look up WPForce if you’d like to see just how terrible WordPress is

Hubspot or SquareSpace will do that for you

Drupal. Grav, Strapi, Postlight, and many others if you want to self host. SquareSpace or Hubspot if you don’t want to self host.

We’re not handling the LLM generative bullshit bots now, anywhere. There’s a thing called the dead Internet theory. Essentially most of the traffic on the Internet now is bots.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

In my humble opinion the point of self hosting an LLM is so that the data doesn’t leave your LAN.

It’s as complex as you make it, is linux native, is scriptable, doesn’t use YAML, is native to the OS, and is free as in beer. Just like SNMP. however they’ll also get logs at a central server they can drill into if needed.

Which I believe fulfills the requirements of OPs post.

Sidenote, self-hosting is absolutely overkill just as a theory and process. I often read responses to suggestions as this or that is overkill, or complicated, or non-trivial effort.

The self hosting community is a broad spectrum of users , from those with home labs on an old dying laptop to those with a full rack setup. People have different needs and interests. Some are learning infra and devops for work or to get into a new job. Some are privacy minded. Some are trying to get the most bang for their buck. Some just want to pay for a cloud hosted solution. Some just want an automated home. Some run a home business.

Edit: to the point of your valid and helpful SNMP post, most syslog servers also will ingest and report on SNMP traffic as well. The container I linked does exactly that. If they find they want to automate processes in the future they can also trigger on the syslog stream as well. But that complexity is only there if they want it. Otherwise it’s just a stream they can parse and trigger an alert, just like SNMP. So OP could have an extensible solution if they want to expand. Also Grafana/Prometheus will take in syslog natively with a couple standard YAML configs if they choose that they want to look at that solution again in the future.

/Rant

Edit: found better resources

https://linuxhandbook.com/syslog-guide/

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-syslog-ng

That should be a good place to start. Syslog will do what you want.

Agreed this is essentially a style guide.

Only Apple can use that data for profit! Now the Alphabet agencies just buy that data from brokers… I just realized how funny the parent company to Google name change is.

Proxmox also can run on ZFS, has support to run containers, and can also manage backups.
