Ember

Real-time monitoring for Caddy & FrankenPHP

What it does

Monitor your Caddy server in real time: per-host traffic, latency percentiles, status codes, and more. When FrankenPHP is detected, unlock per-thread introspection, worker management, and memory tracking. Ember gives you a zero-config, read-only terminal dashboard that connects to Caddy's admin API and works out of the box. No extra infrastructure, no YAML to write.

    Get updates on when Datadog is recovering in real-time (aka about 25 minutes faster than the status page) with the free Metrist.io app and Slack integration. We use functional testing for Datadog and other cloud dependencies so you can know how they are functioning in real time.

    Cerberus – Real-time network monitor with eBPFDec 2025 · github.com · ▲12

    Hi HN! I'm Mo, a platform engineer at Deltaflare working on critical infrastructure protection. I built Cerberus because traditional packet capture tools (tcpdump, Wireshark) have too much overhead for production CNI environments. eBPF lets us filter and classify packets at the kernel level with near-zero performance impact. Some interesting challenges: - eBPF verifier is strict - every memory access needs bounds checking - Limited to 32 bytes of L7 payload (tradeoff between inspection depth and overhead) - TC vs XDP decision (chose TC for compatibility) Looking for contributors, especially…

    Deft-Intruder – Real-time malware detection daemon for LinuxNov 2025 · github.com · ▲6

    I built an open-source malware detection daemon that monitors all running processes in real-time using ML + heuristics. No kernel modules or eBPF required. Key points: - Polls &#x2F;proc for new processes (works on any Linux kernel 2.6+) - Random Forest model trained on EMBER 2018 dataset (2.3M samples) - Heuristic rules for crypto miners, ransomware, rootkits - ~20MB RAM, <1% CPU, sub-millisecond scan latency - Pure C, zero runtime dependencies - Model embedded directly in binary (50KB) Why I built this: Existing solutions either require modern kernels (eBPF) or are heavy&#x2F;proprietary.…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;text.blogosphere.app&#x2F; Non-minimal: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogosphere.app&#x2F; If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
