@kylewmahan good question! silo.pub is still working great for setting the in-reply-to ID!

Part of me is curious about these services, but another part thinks it's silly since the grocery store is only 2 blocks away.

@browniefed @charlesv @anomalily crazy! that even looks like my same cutting board and knives!

@charlesv snap pea masala?

Thanks for this writeup. It's enough to convince me that collectd might be a good replacement for Munin, for many of the reasons you state.

I actually like this aspect of Munin, since it means you can write plugins in any language, or even write them into web applications themselves as I did with webmention.io (https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention.io/blob/87ed251a0775269941c4e42763fbabc2b5dbf162/controllers/munin.rb) Also, it seems to also be true for collectd too! It looks like the curl_json plugin expects to be able to find JSON data at a URL, which means you can write the plugin in any language. I also found a redis plugin which is just a bash script.
