#rssreader

I have started again to use an RSS reader to follow blogs, photo galleries, forums and video channels.

It's so great to have everything followed by a single and local application, with no big tech algorythm. Only what I have choosen and how I want it.

And I have a lot of choices for the RSS reader application. From the most simple to a very complete and customizable one.

I love RSS.

Otin nyt hyvin, hyvin pitkästä aikaa RSS-lukijan käyttöön. Haluan kuulla tuoreimmat ja mehukkaimmat jutut.

Silloin hyvinä aikoina Google Reader ajoi RSS-keisarin virkaa ja sivustojen lisääminen oli naurettavan helppoa.

Mutta nyt. Google Readeria ei enää ole. On randomeja appeja ja sivustoja. Ilmaisia ja maksullisia. Sivustojen lisääminen on nyt vaikeampaa. Osa sivustoista ei tarjoa RSS-linkkiä ollenkaan. Vaihtoehtona olisi ollut tilata uutiskirje tai sitten käyttää RSS-lukijaa, jossa on full-text RSS tuki, eli sivusto muuttaa seuratun sivuston sisällön keinotekoisesti RSS-lukijalle sopivaan luettavaan muotoon.

Ugh.

PS. Gemini pelasti mut joissain tilanteissa. Se sai kaivettua verkkosivustojen lähdekoodien syövereistä feed-linkit, joita ei sivustolla suoraan näkynyt.

Currently I do try to use a RSS reader once again.

Somehow I do start this experiment every year or two trying to fetch multiple sources. Everytime I did this in the past I gave up after a week or so.

This time I do use Twine as an app and I do like the UI maybe that's a reason to keep using it.

Any tips for using an RSS reader?

I switched from #Feeder to #ReadYou as my favorite #RSS #app. The user interface in "Read You" is much cleaner and more visually appealing. It feels more modern and intuitive, which makes browsing through articles more enjoyable. I also find the readability to be significantly better, the fonts, spacing, and layout make it easier on the eyes. Overall, it just offers a more pleasant and efficient reading experience.

Continued thread

Spent the last week with NewNewsWire, and while I liked it there were two items that were niggling;
1. You couldn’t set the default browser
2. No images until you opened the story

So I’m trying Feeeed, and so far very impressed. Aesthetically more up to date, with a pretty reader mode baked in (or it can open in your browser).

Will see how I feel after another weeks test

My @Inoreader subscription is up in a week's time. It's a great RSS reader, but I'm idly wondering if self-hosting an #RSS reader on a box I already pay for might be the plan. Is FreshRSS the one that most people would recommend? Particularly interested in the "web scraping" feature that FreshRSS offers (Inoreader limits those to just 20).

$90 potential saving, I suppose, with the only main loss that I lose some email subscriptions. I've been with Inoreader since Aug 2014 (when it was half the price).

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

Infrastructure & Networking

Security & Monitoring

Authentication & Identity Management

  • Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  • LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
    #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

Notifications & Development Workflow

  • Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
  • Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign#DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

  • Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
  • Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?
