Docker + Speedtest Tracker
I love that I have a Synology since I can run my own Speedtest Tracker! I was having issues on Zoom and knew it was me as I have notifications set up when my ping or up/download speed drops. You can run this on pretty much anything, a raspberry pi or a spare mac. Just install docker, and you’re off to the races!

apt-get install --no-install-recommends smartmontools
