Anything you'd be willing to share about what you have set up? I would like to have realtime network monitors and ping/jitter indicators at all times, and the couple things i had recently set up are all gone now before i could add any notes to my backups before my ssd died just yesterday. I'm really perplexed that not more people demand these types of things in their status huds. I get connection skips all the time.

Oh, you will be very disappointed. This is the script: #!/bin/sh result=$(ping -n -c 1 -W 1 1.1.1.1 | perl -lne '/icmp_seq=1.*time=([0-9.]+) ms/ and print $1;') if [ -z "$result" ]; then echo "I: -- ms" else echo "I: $result ms" fi It runs as a shell script in my XMobar every second. Sorry to hear about your storage dying on you.

Its not nearly a simple desktop widget like the ones mentioned here, but the right answer is a monitoring solution. Personally, im a huge fan of zabbix, because of its flexibility and ease of use (been poking with it for 20 years so maybe im biased). I have it running for my homelab, which includes a remote server. I have a whole page of network stats, including graphs for data from `mtr`. Id rather have a dashboard to go look at than something that is always in my face, but thats because i dislike taking screenspace for things im not working on.

For those of a Windows persuasion, PingoMeter is indispensable: https://github.com/EFLFE/PingoMeter https://github.com/EFLFE/PingoMeter Ping one host periodically, display RTT in a bar graph in the system tray with optional alerts. You'll never have to type "ping 8.8.8.8" again.

For macOS, you might check out Pingr. It puts a nice looking flame graph in your menubar showing realtime latency. https://getpingr.app https://getpingr.app Unfortunately it's not open source, but I've not suffered any ill-effects yet.
