    If you want to do this, what you probably want is to pump your logs into a log drain, something like betterstack is good. They then allow you to set up discrepancy thresholds and can send you emails when something seems to be out of the ordinary. There’s probably a self hosted thing that works the same way but I’ve never found a simple setup. You can do the whole Prometheus, influxdb, grafana setup but imo it’s too much work, and then you still have to set up email smtp separate from that.

    Oooh look at Epicure over here, just casually getting in his 8 hours of sleep. Brag more king.

    On a serious note, the capitalists have commercialized all of this. Getting enough to eat might be doable with a meager income technically, but eating well and healthy is expensive. Getting a good bed in a nice living space that facilitates rest well costs a fortune. So you need two middle class plus jobs to afford it for yourself and your partner, which comes with its own set of stressors.

    The small things in life are also actively commercialized. A coffee with friends? Better save up for the chain cafe prices. A movie night in? Remember to pay your Netflix subscription. A hike? Gotta pay for gas to get there, depending on where you live. I’m not saying it’s impossible to have small things for free/cheap, it’s just not that easy. There’s also going to be constant social pressure, through advertisement or influencers, first or secondhand, to do all the things they tell you will make you more happy. You’ll have to actively resist that, which in turn can cause you to become distanced from your social circle.

    God forbid you get sick, the health insurance and pharmaceutical industry will fleece you and in some countries leave you with crippling debt, making all of the above out of reach for you.

    All of this to say: money isn’t just something you have to chase after for the sake of it in our current society, it’s an absolute necessity to try to have more than what you think you actually need in the moment to get by and enjoy the small things. It might sound cliche, but “society is like stacked against us, man” is actually a completely true statement.





  • No, I didn’t say that. I’m unsure where the confusion arises so I’ll start from the beginning. And try to clarify my problem.

    1. There’s a setting that makes it so posts you’ve already read are automatically hidden. I have this turned on.
    2. There’s a setting that makes it so posts get marked as read when you scroll past them. I have this turned on as well.
    3. There’s an option in the drop-down when viewing communities that says “clear read”. This button doesn’t seem to do anything.

    Let’s take a specific community, doctor who @ lemmy.world. This community is the main reason I’m having a problem, because usually I’ll see a post on my feed from there before I watch an episode, so I want to read it later, but when I scroll past the post it gets marked as read. Now once I’ve gone and watched the episode, I’d like to go back to the community to read the post I skipped before. Of course that post is hidden, because it got marked as read when I scrolled past it. That’s when the button from point 3 seems like it should allow me to unhide the post, but it doesn’t work. I can verify that the post does still exist if I just visit that community in a web browser instead of in boost.
