I might have just messed up some people's notification settings by mistyping Gabital as "abital" when posting then editing it afterwards.
I did get a notification! But my first automation’s trial expired and the second service I tried both checks less frequently and will expire too in about 8 days. The bigger problem is that Hexbear decided it’d basically go down for 10 minutes right after I got the notification.
I'm interested, what automation are you talking about?

I set up Zapier to monitor an RSS feed and send events to PagerDuty but when the trial expired, Zapier’s free plan apparently only supports 2-step automations, so either I can no longer filter out other posts, or they want money. Neither is going to happen.
I then tried Make.com to achieve the same, but at 15 minute checks, will burn through the monthly free plan credits in ~10 days total.
Next I’ll either probably need to scale back the intrusiveness of the notifications so that I can use more typical methods of monitoring RSS feeds, or set up my own script with a cronjob, but then I’d need to figure out where I’ll actually run it, though I probably have some “no more costly than they already are” options for it.
E: actually one other possibility might be using another service to pre-filter the RSS feed so I can plug that into Zapier.
Cool!
