I love these sorts of hacks. In fact I did something similar with a project called rget[1] two thoughts: 1. My project got politely asked to not use the ct log and lets encrypt infra this way. Since you are only doing it every 12 hours you

A problem I have with HOAs is that towns and Counties will often invest significantly in new construction areas that have HOAs from initial development. The government builds new parks, schools, etc directly adjacent to HOA neighborhoods. I

I bought feedly just to be able to put rss and mailing lists into Readwise but it is really painful UX personally. And Pocket keeps having trouble with doing reader mode with sites in 2022 and thus can’t do highlights.
