UptimeLogger

Know when your internet was down, and for how long.

What it does

Most monitors tell you the internet is down right now. UptimeLogger is built for the argument afterwards: it records every outage and exports a PDF report for the conversation with your ISP. Different: it runs on Windows and macOS (the tool that inspired it is macOS-only), and it uses TCP to several DNS resolvers by IP rather than ICMP pings - no admin rights, and a broken name lookup is not read as a dead line. No account, no telemetry, local database.

Free connection monitor for Windows and macOS. Records every internet outage and shows the history as a calendar heatmap. No account, no telemetry.

UptimeLogger watches your connection around the clock, records every interruption and shows you the history — so the next call with your provider is about facts, not impressions. A background process probes a configurable list of servers. Timeouts and refused connections end an online stretch, a successful connection ends an outage. A menu-bar icon on macOS, a notification-area icon on Windows: green online, red offline. No Dock icon, no window in your way. A year at a glance. The darker a day, the more interruptions it had. Click a day and the log and the figures jump to it. Outages, time offline, longest outage, availability and monitored time — for today, this week, this month or any day…from uptimelogger.bartels.ug

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
