Pushover allows per-message sound settings, so you could configure just alerts from your monitoring to play a sound and send at priority 2 which will bypass your device's quiet settings and repeat to wake you up.

On Android, Pushover is able to (optionally) play notification sounds for high-priority messages through the alarm channel like an alarm app would, so it can bypass the device's mute switch.

That is correct. Pushover has been around for 10 years now and I get most of its financial support from Team subscriptions.

Just FYI, Pushover has a Glances API so you can push data like that directly to an Apple Watch complication.

knowing the wireless network name and key is only worth anything if you know where that network is, and can actually go there and do something

The AP's MAC address would be the same, which you can just plug into https://find-wifi.mylnikov.org/

You can encrypt notifications that go through Google's FCM and Apple's APNS push notification servers. This is how Pushover works - each notification is encrypted with a device-specific key, sent through the notification servers as an encrypted blob, then the app on the device is woken up and receives the blob, decrypts it, and posts it as a normal notification.

Just to clarify, Pushover is not a "paid service" in that you need to pay for a subscription. You only have to pay once to use it past the 7-day free trial.

I'd love it if a moderator would post something when they change a title so it's clear what happened and who did it, but it would probably generate a lot of useless meta threads debating the change (and of course, it would actually reveal who the moderators are).

The upcoming Maps update for Android will have offline support so you can pre-cache a selected area.

That is false. I've had titles of my own submissions changed by someone else, and as the submitter of the Light Table link replied in that thread, he or she did not change the title, either.

Moderators of HN: please stop changing post titles

I would ask that the unknown mysterious moderators of this site stop changing post titles long after they hit the front page.

The guidelines at http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html state: "You can make up a new title if you want, but if you put gratuitous editorial spin on it, the editors may rewrite it." but this should not apply just because the title submitted does not match the article. When the actual article's title makes no sense or provides no context, it should be allowed to stay changed.

A story is currently on the front page with a title of "Where the Heat and the Thunder Hit Their Shots" which was just changed from its previously edited title of something about visualization.

"Where the Heat and Thunder Hit Their Shots", while actually the title of the article, says absolutely nothing about the content of the article. Is this an article about weather? Photography? Nope, it's about basketball. Why is it on Hacker News? Oh, the submitter liked the visualizations, which is exactly what the previously edited title said before it was changed.

Another example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3875857 was a story about Light Table and the title was edited to reflect that until it had at least 100 points. Then a moderator changed it to the story's actual title of "On concepts and realities" which said absolutely nothing about it and probably caused lots of people that had already visited the link once to read it and think it was something else.

Moderators, please stop doing this.

The new ASUS Zenbook Prime (UX21A 11"/UX31A 13") models that were announced last month have similar specs to the new MBA (Ivy Bridge, up to 256Gb SSD, etc.) but are both available with 1920x1080 IPS screens. I had the original UX21 and sold it because the keyboard was not so great, but from the reviews of the new models, they have improved the keyboard and trackpad.
