Quick check of gateway metrics - MacOS only
As many of you, I obsess over the current metrics of my TMHI modem. Opening the app to check it is too cumbersome. On MacOS there is a cool free utility that allows simple scripts to run in the menu called SwiftBar (get it here: https://github.com/swiftbar/SwiftBar )

Weather App?
Yeah Carrot is definitely expensive. I’ve been looking for SwiftBar, an open source menu bar app that has lots of community plugins. There’s ones for weather too. And free.

My Hacktoberfest journey with Appwrite
Because my programming background is primarily for scientific purposes, I really had little experience with servers and backends. Until now, my only real experience was with my Coffee Counter web application that is hosted on Deta, a great service for beginners. This app (which is still running and I use everyday through a SwiftBar app in my Mac's menu bar) technically has a backend database, but it is relatively rudimentary and completely managed by Deta – a great option for getting started, but the constraints mean that I cannot get a deeper understanding of the technology. Thus, many of the features of Appwrite were completely novel to me.

Xbar: Put anything in your macOS menu bar
How does it compare to Swiftbar[0]? Any reasons to use Xbar over SwiftBar given that the latter was built with a stack that is more "native" to Mac than Golang?
I was wondering about why SwiftBar existed when there was already BitBar, and a lot is explained in this thread on Github: https://github.com/swiftbar/SwiftBar/issues/95
TL;DR: BitBar stopped working well in Big Sur and the old code base was increasingly hard to update and build.

Home Lab Guide
While no broken out per plug, APC UPS network management cards provide total power output data (current, voltage, frequency, power) via SNMP, which you can log using a wide variety of tools.
And even without external tools, historical power usage logs are available via the APC Web UI.
While I don't currently log anything externally, I use an xbar[1] script[2] to display UPS output current in my Mac menu bar.

Show all smartphones on your UniFi network in the macOS menu bar (via XBar)
There’s some discussion in that in https://github.com/matryer/xbar/issues/691. Note that this XBar plugin likely won’t work out of the box since it uses some macOS-specific tools, but it can likely be ported.

A curated directory of 700 Mac menu bar apps
Then it will create a menu bar entry titled "Hello" with a single element in its drop-down menu, which will open Hacker News when clicked. You place your program in a specific directory for xbar to run, and it can be configured to run at a given frequency, e.g. once a minute to report the results of an API call or some measurement from your system, etc. Up to you to build the menu bar app you want.

Tailscale Funnel
As an exercise, I've implemented a basic (and very hacky) UI for tailscale(1) as an xbar [1] plugin: https://gist.github.com/notpushkin/aa36c2d34e3e7180aa66ed2a5...
[1]: https://xbarapp.com/
tailscaled isn't particularly stable on my machine though, so I guess I'll roll back to the closed source version. However, this could be a starting point for a Linux client!
