InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
I used the same idea when setting up long-range WiFi (couple of KMs) via antenna for a mesh network.
In order to get the best latency/bandwidth, you need to point the antennas with precision at each other, and in order to know if you're pointing it right, you need to run some tool on a display at the same time, like `ping`, and see when it gets lower when you're pointing it right.
So rather than having to look with one eye towards the horizon, and one eye on a screen to see a tiny number (which I found impossible), I made a quick script that outputs a beep each time ping returns output, with the frequency being higher when the latency got lower. So now I could focus solely on the horizon while using my ears to hear if I was getting in the right direction.
Lots of fun, super useful and makes me wonder (just like you) what other tooling we could use more senses with, rather than just our eyes.
