Thought I would share this in case someone may find it useful. :) Feel free to drop any feedback if you run into issues, RSS as a whole can be fractured to work with since sites have so many configurations, but if there's something obvious I missed please let me know.

And where is the source?
Just asking for a friend..
Code quality isn't the greatest(this was my first real React/Next.js project) but I've just published it: https://github.com/mratmeyer/rsslookup.
If you ever are trying to find the RSS feed URL for a website, I built a free little tool (https://www.rsslookup.com/) that lets you paste in a website’s URL and it will go out and find a list of available feeds. Some RSS clients have this feature built in, but for websites that don’t have their feed configured correctly this site will check extra paths (ex. /feed) to see if any feeds are available.

Minecraft was what got me into Java. I still run a small server with a few regular players, and I experiment with making server plugins when I have a neat idea I want to try.
And before that, I learned Lua when trying to mod the game Company of Heroes.
It seems like video games we know are a great starting point when it comes to learning how to program at first.
Same here, I learned Java when I wanted to make Bukkit plugins and minigames for my server. I don’t play Minecraft much anymore, but I’m glad to see that it still seems popular and thriving when I do play on servers or watch it on YouTube.
Could you elaborate a bit on the shareable app instance (or just share links to its documentation)? That sounds really useful but I hadn't heard about this use case before
Looks like this is what he's talking about: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh
I haven't used the remote SSH feature, but I have been playing around with GitHub Codespaces through VSCode. Once you have the extension, you can select a repository and it will spin up a virtual workspace for you on their servers. It actually works surprisingly well- tasks like installing node packages is faster than on my local computer and it automatically handles things like setting up a proxy for local web environments.
They say here (from within the past 15 mins):

> Verizon 5G Nationwide service is available today to more than 200 million people in 1,800 cities around the US.
I'm sure there's some trickery going on here, though?
There's really 3 types of 5G: ultra-wideband, mid-band, and low-band. Ultra-wideband is the 5G you hear about most, with gigabit speeds but you have to be within direct line of sight to the cell site. There's also mid-band and low-band, which have similar ranges to LTE and can deliver a few hundred megabits instead of gigabits, and can handle problems like congestion better.

There is already something in place where if you forget to renew, the domain is place in holding for a specified amount of time before it is released.
domains are an asset just like anything else. personally i don't see why if you are a business, you don't register you domain for 10 years or more. just as a test i went to godaddy and looked at how much it costs to register a .com domain for 10 years... it was less than $100. honestly... if you are a business and it costs you $1000 to register you domain for 100 years, why wouldn't you do it.
ICANN does limit you to only being able to register for up to 10 years in advance.
I see that main part of the code is in JS anyway. Perhaps a fully-local bookmarklet would work even better, without having to rely on a site, CloudFlare, etc, etc.
