## Origin

When you did everything right, your observability stack becomes boring.
Just bunch of green numbers and predictable plots.
I asked myself, What if I could add the existential dread in my Grafana, just to
feel something
again?

## What it does

Doomsday Clock Exporter regularly fetches the current Seconds to Midnight value
from the [Bulletin of the
Atomic Scientists](https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/) and makes it available to your
Prometheus.
You can set up automations like “cancel all my cloud subscriptions if the value
drops below 30 seconds”.

Or just keep it as a reminder that nothing really matters.

## What is next

- support for negative values
- energy consumption optimization (has to work on a lemon/potato battery)

## Fit

- like to be informed, and thus — sad.

## Unfit

- you like to be surprised by nuclear strikes
