When I’m working in an unfamiliar language, I find its quicker to just ask ChatGPT to write samples of anything I need than to look it up. For instance, last night I needed to format a date in Go, and rather than Google that and pick one of the results and scroll past the ads to read something, I just asked ChatGPT to give me a code example of formatting a date I gave it to DDMMYYYY.
I’d like a small, quick, low load endpoint on all my nodes and VM’s that exposes a text keyword indicating if that machine is okay for RAM and disk space. I’m currently using Uptime Kuma to monitor if these machines are pingable, but I’d love a tiny bit more information from them so I’d get a Ntfy buzz on my phone if a machine is in trouble.
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that the benefit of doing it in C rather than Node.js was probably not worth the trouble, but then being a fickle developer, decided to write it in Go.
