I like the idea of (ab)using protocols to do not-<i>quite</i> what they were intended to do.<p>Pushing RSS feeds into IMAP is a great idea - I wonder how much work it&#x27;d take to make NewsBeuter to that, then expose it somewhere and have FastMail pull it into a folder for me.<p>These hacks eventually start looking like Rube-Goldberg machines, but they&#x27;ve got a certain charm.<p>Offtopic: I wrote a Wake-on-Lan server that allows me to turn on VMs as if they were physical machines - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;voltagex&#x2F;junkcode&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master&#x2F;CSharp&#x2F;VirtualBoxAsAService&#x2F;NullReference.WakeOnVirtual" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;voltagex&#x2F;junkcode&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master&#x2F;CSharp&#x2F;Virt...</a><p>The next one for me is probably going to be a DNS server that resolves the name and IPs of VMs.
