Same here. I feel bad when I mention that my life has gotten infinitely better since Covid. I get to work from home and just be by myself, it's amazing.

I personally run two servers with a NAS 24/7 acting as media, ftp, and web server. My electric bill maybe increased a couple of dollars, but otherwise I haven't really noticed any significant increase. I'm based in the southern US

"I always wonder why they aren't as popular now. It takes more work to add site to a reader, and more effort to even use one I suppose"

I know for me, I didn't know what RSS truly was until like.. last year? I remember seeing the icon and all that on various sites growing up but I never clicked them as I didn't know it was a straight feed of content.

Whereas last year I read some article or blog about it dying and I decided to look it up. Now it's the only way I read or watch any content becuase it's exactly what I want: straight content with no bs.
