Show HN: I ditched Grafana for my home server and built this instead

Frustrated by the complexity and resource drain of multi service monitoring stacks, I built Simon. I wanted a single, lightweight dashboard to replace the heavy stack and the constant need for an SSH client for routine tasks. The result is a resource efficient dashboard in a single Rust binary, just a couple of megabytes in size. Its support for various architectures on Linux also makes it...

Frustrated by the complexity and high overhead of most monitoring tools, I wrote Simon.

It’s a single binary, dependency-free monitor in Rust that does it all: metrics, Docker, alerts, and file browsing. While maintaining a minimal footprint for embedded systems and other constrained hardware.

It tracks system metrics, monitors Docker containers and sends alerts—all in a single, lightweight binary.Features:* Web-based UI – No terminal needed, monitor from your browser* System monitoring – CPU, memory, disk, network usage and Docker container metrics* Alerts – Get notified when resource usage crosses...

Thermal printers usually don't have a lot of variety. The main difference among them is the width of the paper they use: some utilize 58mm paper, while others use 80mm. As far as I know Epson printers are one of the best in terms of build quality and longetivity. In my experience, the print quality tends to remain consistent across different printer models, with paper quality playing a more significant role in the final output. Personally, I've had success using an affordable option; a Chinese second-hand Cashino CSN-A1 58mm printer. It performs quite well =)

I built Breaklist to organize the essential info I need to start my day. It generates a personalized morning briefing, optimized for thermal printers.The morning report currently includes:Task list Reminders Weather forecast Summary of latest top articles on Hacker NewsThe result is a tidy, receipt-sized report that I can print and take on-the-go each morning.
