Monitoring my feed reader
Every time I get hyperfixated on a thing, I end up doing it at the expense of all else. Right now my hyperfocus is on working on making a sellable version of my VRChat avatar (which is almost ready!)
But I needed a break, so I checked my feed reader, and realized, oh wow, I haven’t checked my feed reader in a few days. Oops.
So anyway, I did what any good nerd would do, and gave myself some alerting and monitoring to track my feed stats.
The reader I use is Feed on Feeds, which isn’t the most fully-featured thing, but at least it’s easy to self-host and also fairly easy to hack on.
I also already use munin for monitoring server health, and it has a fairly easy-to-extend plugin system, and also provides email alerts. So I figured…
Anyway, here’s my Munin plugin:
and here’s unread.php
:
Obviously, you have to replace the /path/to/unread.php
and path/to/fof-main.php
and ID
with actual values for it to work for your setup.
Completely unrelated, but is there a word for things you do to procrastinate from things you’re procrastinating from? Because I also uh. Am putting off playing more of the new Zelda game. (I like it a lot but I don’t want to burn out on it and also the UX kinda sucks.)
