# Internet of Things
## A co-location in your home.

### A real co-location
In a normal co-location (colo for short) a provider has a data hall, where they install servers of various kinds for their customers. The colo stands for power and connectivity, and some level of out-of-band monitoring to do billing or capping.  
  
The monitoring is usually on the network level, from switches and packet flows, and not internal to your server ("what is running now") and is used to prevent customers from interfering with others, and to alert customers in case of their servers failing.

Introduction

As an outsider visiting Kenya, I’m constantly amazed by the informal entrepreneurship of the many people I came across. Whether it is born out of necessity or brilliance, it’s a good and positive feature which has some downsides.

Faltering infrastructure

Sadly, one of the things that really struck me was the state of infrastructure,

Watchdogged

Place the service file (or a link to it) in /etc/systemd/system/ Place the watchdogged.py file somewhere ( and change the ExecStart portion in the .service to point at the file )

then do systemctl daemon-reload followed by systemctl start watchdogged.service

After this you can watch the progress using journalctl --follow -u watchdogged.service change the PROBABILITY variable to something else to watch it faster/later or succeed.
