The lack of instrumentation for transfers like this is infuriating.

I used Transferwise for years until one day a transfer (US/UK) did not arrive. Transferwise said they sent it, HSBC said they did not receive, I was stuck in the middle and both TW and HSBC support were incredibly unhelpful. It got to the point I was looking up job functions in HSBC money transfer on linked in to try and understand the process from an engineer.

Somewhere in the ether must be show me all transfers to my bank account number with source.

Eventually the money arrived; I am no longer a TW customer.

Could you advise how best to submit feedback ? The font on usps labels is comically small and leads to numerous package misdeliveries in my area, have tried submitting feedback, cases go dark in the middle of conversations etc

Often wondered the same, in nyc the cabs offer a check in with app (Arro) which takes care of payment (pre registered cc) permitting the rider to just exit the taxi at the end of the journey. It certainly could be better, unfortunately the app devs are fairly unresponsive .. perplexed why this is not funded more

Define a unit and run it individually to troubleshoot vs modifying the crontab for 1 min ahead Logging in journalctl Built in jitter options to spread tasks across a window in a large fleet Ability to use the unit as a dep for other things Instrumented in systemctl list-timers Store config in user home dir (I think ) for tasks owned by a user
