Welcome @lwindolf who has just joined the fediverse now!
While they appear to be a regular red squirrel, they actually are a nice human who has been benevolently maintaining the #Liferea feed reader for the last 20+ years (among other things), for y'all who are still reading #RSS / Atom feeds with a desktop #Linux application.
You should follow them if you're interested in Liferea, devops or sysadmin topics 🐿️
I hacked together a small service in #golang It allows me to post youtube links, which it would then parse, and add autio streams to a private #RSS feed. Works like a charm, so I am happy 😊
For obvious reasons (legal, etc.), I don't plan to open-source the code and can't make a service out of it. However, if anyone is interested, let me know, I may eventually share the code on a per-request basis.
@ThePlant@gamingonlinux been feeling the same way so decided to self host a RSS reader called MiniFlux that also syncs with native mobile clients. Open source ftw and they also offer a paid hosted version.
J'ai fait la bascule #TinyTinyRSS (qui ne m'alimentait plus correctement mes flux) vers #FreshRSS avec l'application « Read You » sur Android. Et bien ça fonctionne plutôt très bien, un grand merci à @marien pour le boulot ! 🖖 #RSS
Et si on dépoussiérait le flux RSS, une technologie qui existe depuis 1999 ?
Lorsque j’ai commencé à écrire des articles et les publier sur mon blog, deux personnes m’ont interpellé pour me demander s’il existait un flux RSS pour se tenir au courant de mes publications en temps réel.
Here is what I’m looking for - a self-hostable service that accepts YouTube URLs, downloads their audio versions, and appends those to a never-ending podcast RSS feed that one can hook to their podcast player.
It should be trivial to hack something like this on my own, but I’d rather ask than reinvent the wheel yet again.
If you want to archive your Mastodon or other app/site feed posts into Obsidian as separate post entries, I wrote a post about how to use the Simple RSS plugin to do that. I cover Mastodon and Grav RSS feeds. I've done the best I can do for now with instructions and a big thank you goes out to simple rss dev Monnier Antoine for being super helpful.
I have this blog set up and ready for writing using a bare, classic web stack with no framework, no static site generator, just html/css files and some short scripts in JS and OCaml.
The only thing I feel is missing is an RSS feed. Presently I am feeling very inclined to just rolling my own RSS using the very same stack (a text editor and scripts) instead of switching to some SSG just to get an RSS feed. Something tells me that this is a sinful, heretic thought.
Ideas welcome on how to avoid such heresy. Encouragement to just do it also welcome.
So as usual, a year or two after everybody raved about it, I finally checked out Lil Nas X, Montero (Call Me By Your Name). It takes a while for me to appreciate a musician/entertainer. Almost like I'm cheating on my former faves by liking someone new. But this kid is SO MUCH TALENT in one person. I think I'm totally converted. Is there an alert I can set so I hear everything from him immediately?
Prob an #rss reader is what you want. Most sites have feeds that send alerts like that if you subscribe - lots of free “rss readers” serviceable for use case.
"But the real tragedy of Reader was that it had all the signs of being something big, and Google just couldn’t see it. Desperate to play catch-up to Facebook and Twitter, the company shut down one of its most prescient projects; you can see in Reader shades of everything from Twitter to the newsletter boom to the rising social web."
