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.
Surely, if you forget it’s even running, you aren’t using it, and it doesn’t matter if it stops running? (With a couple of obvious exceptions like automated backups, etc)
It was often the automated things that I completely forgot about. I have ADHD, so if it’s not accessible in a reasonable way where I don’t have to always google specific commands to find basic info on my own machine, then it gets lost in the memory hole. I know that a service is running, but would forget what it is.
