I love RSS. I take a bit of an unconventional approach and use Discord as my RSS reader. I run a self hosted instance of MonitoRSS ( https://github.com/synzen/MonitoRSS ). I have a server with just me and my bot instance

Something worth noting: unless I'm missing something, this isn't Beeper Mini (the Android app) but the iMessage-Matrix bridge Beeper created. However, this is still handy if you have a Mac or jailbroken iPhone (edit: for registrat

I don't know Google's motivation but frankly I welcome TLS everywhere on the public-facing web now that certs are free thanks to LetsEncrypt. For me, it comes down to two things: 1. Privacy. When I'm on non-private networks,
