Pi.Alert is dead...💀 Long live NetAlert X 🚀 (network monitoring) (lemmy.world)

After thinking for about a year about it I decided to rename the project to 🚀NetAlertX. This will help prevent confusion about which fork someone is using, and differentiate it from the now stale upstream project. With about 1800 or so commits over the stale project, I thought, this project deserved a new name. It will also remove the confusion about only supporting Raspberry Pi's 😵

On top of the rename, I implemented ✨unlimited icons - just find an SVG you like and use it 😄.

The rename from PiAlert to NetAlertX should be pretty straightforward and existing setups should work fine, no manual migration steps should be necessary. Still, caution is recommended.

Check this https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/issues/633 thread for edge-cases and the guide https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/MIGRATION.md if you decide to change your docker-compose.

I switched to WatchYourLan. It's simpler and I feel I don't need anything else

Yep, WYL is great - someone did a comparison video if you are deciding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=v6an9QG2xF0

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I found WatchYourLan hosed my PiHole logs. Somehow the WYL instance got its hostname associated with ~10 mac addresses on my lan so more than half of my traffic comes from "watchyourlan.local". FML
