I can&#39;t think of a single use that would warrant that kind of a price. You can get a pretty solid NEW mini PC for that, and probably an even better deal on something with a little seasoning to it.

Still, it wouldn&#39;t be too much effort to cobble together a script or something that followed the standard, and since it requires literally no additional resources over hosting your own site, it&#39;s not a horrible idea. I haven&#39;t spent any real time with it, so I don&#39;t know if there&#39;s any allowances for &#34;Replies&#34; or threads or anything like that. I think that would need to be included to make this really interesting.

I think what it&#39;s doing is creating a &#34;social network&#34; type UI for an RSS feed? If I&#39;m reading this right (and there&#39;s no guarantee that I am), it&#39;s just making RSS act like Mastodon. The RSS feed itself wouldn&#39;t normally provide a list of blogs you follow, and without a standard other sites wouldn&#39;t necessarily know where to look. Same with a profile page. I can kinda see it. It&#39;s not really creating anything new, just using existing tech to mimic existing tech. 2026-10-30T16:53:03Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9ryqjkn40xvs93yctg80mr8p32vasdwnlap6h6sdtxu8p79xmjsqzyryesk6np5t788nvclrnkc6cg86nlsh5gxldazm0luq7840puxl86hgsegs Friday.

It&#39;s not in dispute that authors and journalists should be paid for their work, but is it in the public interest to have facts and truth behind a paywall while lies and propaganda are freely distributed to every corner of the web?
