   With RSS autodiscovery[1] your browser (or today an extension) can identify an RSS feed and with one click submit it to your RSS reader. You don't even need to find the RSS link in the HTML. [1]: https://www.rssboard.org&#x

    What you describe sounds awesome. Is it still something people could use? If the WebAuthn protocol gains broader support because Google/Apple are pushing passkeys then anything that speaks WebAuthn should be a viable option, right? Di

    Check out Lunar[1], they used to do low power launches at Moffett, and high power ~2 hours east of there. I'm not sure what they do these days. Wherever you are, there is probably an NAR club [2] which will be a great resource! [1]:
