A similar solution but I use https://ntfy.sh/ I have the app on my phone and have it set to alert when jobs ping the service. Mine ping on success but it is possible to ping when the job fails as well.

Agreed, if the box works for you I’d look at cycling out the drives - 10 years is a long time for spinning disks to last and every day is another day closer to a failure.

Err, I agree with the greed part. But the obligation to maximise profits is not true. A quick web search will bring up, e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/04/16/what-are-corporations-obligations-to-shareholders/corporations-dont-have-to-maximize-profits and many other sources. Companies can do whatever they like, as long as it’s within the law. The fact that most choose to maximise profits at the cost of other things is entirely on them.
