We have been refining our internal monitoring and I am curious how the broader community handles this. Do you rely on Telegram bots, RSS feeds, browser extensions, or something more bespoke? I am particularly interested in solutions that avoid excessive API polling, as we find rate limits can be frustrating during high-volume release windows.
What works for you, and what have you abandoned?

BGP + telegram bot. Cfg in python. v4 only for alerts, v6 for mgmt. Rt table filters noise. Fw blocks the bad stuff. Tier-1 setup no transit here

I check manually like 20 times a day gg
No bot no rss just raw f5 energy yikes
My boxes need deals and my fingers need exercise pwn

It actually works
Scrapes three providers, dedupes, pushes to phone. Whole thing runs on 128MB.
- url: example.com/deals
- interval: 300s
- filter: price < $20/yrCosts me nothing, learns me plenty

Manual checking seems inefficient for Asia-Pacific drops. I use a simple RSS reader with filtering. Many deals here release during hours when I am asleep. Automation feels necessary rather than optional.

I tried the bot thing once and it broke and I never fixed it and now I just have seventeen telegram channels muted and one that isnt and I check that one when I remember and somehow I still miss the good stuff every single time and my friend says I have a problem but I say the problem is the deals are too good and too fast and we all just live like this now dont we
BGP for deal alerts? That is absolutely unhinged ned. Respect
Manual checking twenty times daily sounds like a fast track to burnout.

The muted channel graveyard is too real. I have eleven.
