I know dashboards are super trendy, but I’d love to hear from those who are not using them. I personally use FreshRSS to keep track of as much as possible, along with Uptime Kuma and plain old bookmarks. Perhaps there is a better overview solution, but I also love filtering what I see to not feel overwhelmed. or spammed, by information.
I don’t see how people can go without using dashboards. Considering I’m in America, I use them just about any time I go anywhere, as nearly all automobiles have them.
Real answer: I just have a script that updates everything. I run it manually when stuff needs updating. If a service goes down, I notice when it’s not accessible.
