Viewing logs after HA goes down? (lemmy.world)

Running on a Raspberry Pi 400

Lately my home has been dumb and unassisted at random times, and the HA app can't connect to my HA rpi server. Ditto when I go to homeassistant:8123 in a browser. I'm trying to see what's causing this, but the logs in app only show since last restart. Tried plugging my Pi into a monitor and getting something from the command line but not sure how to do the equivalent of a Linux tail or whatever. Searching was surprisingly unhelpful. Any advice?

Thanks much!

I've heard the SD cards can be pretty flakey, so I immediately replaced the one that came with the rpi with something a little more "hardy" (Samsung Pro Endurance 256GB). It's supposed to be able to handle a few years of streaming video turnover, so I wouldn't think that a ~month of text logs would already hose it but I've been wrong before.
