Need a good way to track drops in my WAN connection that's aligned to my OPNSense router. I am going to dispute with my ISP uptimes, and having logs from my router showing clear drops/downtime would be useful. Am willing to install other tools in router, or elsewhere, if people think they can be of use.

I'm currently manually tracking in a document, so other ways to automate this are welcome. Thanks!

(For reference the drops are usually ~5 minutes, 1-2 times a day most days.)

15 years ago I wrote, in Perl, an application to help me schedule a massive event. I'm now looking to rewrite and release it as Open Source, and could use advice to:

• Align it to a language/tech stack that many Open Source contributors use today, and
• Expand my skillset via study of the chosen tech stack.

I have a baseline "wrote a bit of code in" knowledge of many languages, even Functional ones like Elm. This would be me really digging into best practices and application development for the specific language I chose for this project.

My instinct is to just use Python, but I wanted to get opinions from others, thus this post. Few notes on the application:

• It uses non-LLM rules to auto-schedule events against a number of criteria (e.g. people's availability),
• It will be developed on Linux but must be cross-platform,
• Robust testing will be required,
• The backend will be Postgres,
• APIs are planned,
• Frontend will start as a command line calling said APIs, then a webapp.

Thanks for any advice people can provide. Oh, and yes, I will write this by hand, since as noted part of the goal is to re-sharpen my skills.

Thanks in advance!
