I've heard of popcon, maybe used it once on i386. But something that has to be installed isn't good.
> Which is great, except that it still depends on an MTA I usually have no network connection at all on first boot, maybe not for several days depending on interface recognition difficulties. A reminder in /etc/dmesg might work. I don't know what's installed by default, my current Raspbian Jessie machine seems to have nc. So a script that does something like dmesg | nc and out on port 25 to some address might work, just trying to take a minimalist approach. Or I could maybe write something tiny in C strictly for that, use popen() to get a dmesg and send it to a socket. Ultimately it could ping some internet address on each boot to detect a connection, send its data, then remove or disable itself. Linux makes everything so complicated.
