Miniflux (miniflux.app)

I used to use FreshRSS, but there were some minor pain points that eventually pushed me to find an alternative. Miniflux has been great so far. It's very minimalistic, which also makes it very lightweight to self-host, as I do, but you can also subscribe to the hosted version for about a dollar a month.
Reddit is normie.
The original website is a news report of an article. The one he posted is from a peer-reviewed journal which has a much higher standard of reporting. The information there is reported by scientists with expertise in the field. You cannot expect the same level of rigour from journalists that try to sensationalise findings to get more clicks.
If I’m on iOS I regularly use “feeeed”: https://feeeed.nateparrott.com/

It has some extra functionality for certain websites like HackerNews so it shows points, etc.

Feedbro is great. It has none of the arbitrary limitations that many of the web-clients impose for monetisation reasons.

The only downside (or upside depending on your perspective) is that it is a local solution. You can only access it on a specific device, and it won't be syncing when that device is turned off.
When you invite a girl/guy over, do you say "let's meet at my place" or "let's meet at the place I'm renting"? The possessive pronoun does not necessarily express ownership, it can just as well express occupancy.

For what it’s worth, luthier is definitely as cool, and I’d even say cooler!
I definitely agree USA was pulling for the revolutionaries, and making sure the powers that be couldn't snuff out all communications was essential in throwing the fight, I just don't believe in inception as far as inspiring a revolt in the first place.

I mention 4chan because I thought it synonymous with anonymous, and I was wondering what you knew that I didn't re: what hacking was happening.

And yes Mobutu with his little leopard hat is my favorite too.

I've used Miniflux for a long time, and its content manipulation features allows you to work around some of the oddities of RSS feeds you come across.
The test itself has UX mistake. The “Next >” countdown appears as a button but it’s not. It does not appear to be clickable, does not progress to next screen when you click on it.

The economy has a secret system:
A machine that spies on you every hour of every day.
I know that because I designed some really fancy parts of that machine. To abuse your gullibility, to exploit your cognitive fallacies. To prime you, to nudge your bias. All in favor of the portfolio, of enshittification. You don't feel it that much. While others benefit from something you just don't know yet. This is getting worse and worse until your child, your sibling, your loved one, ends up on a public pole. As a street stripper, begging and twerking in order to be able to pay for the enshittifiers monthly subscription that they need to do 30 mins of maintenance and updates per month. While having 10000 paying subscribers. On this application alone. With 40 % not even using 90% of the features. But that's their fault. They don't know."
I use the Feedbro [1] extension in the browser and the Flym [2] app on Android. I'm quite satisfied with both.

Thank you! I initially included the illustration and explanation in the first draft but decided to remove them in favor of the full trail. Looking back, I think that was a mistake. I’ve now added back the illustration along with some explanation.

It's unclear what the exact cause of the obesity epidemic is. Ultra processed foods are one theory, but not the only one. The US has been down the path before of making public policy from unsettled science, and it led to probably worse food.
Sanctioning advertisers would be the first step.

I wouldn't mind if browsers want to offer that feature in addition to RSS. But I also don't want to be forced to use my browser's bookmarking feature - RSS helps to decouple that.
Self-hosted FreshRSS instance. I use FeedMe in Android to connect to it.
Privacy legislation isn't going to happen because it's too late.

It's now an industry, with enough companies with enough employees and, more importantly, enough political and economic power to destroy almost any attempts to push legislation that may actually protect privacy in any real way.

But, honestly, I don't think the TikTok ban has any overlap with privacy concerns. It's pure cold war.
Yup, I assume AWS, Azure and GCP would NDA this info.

That being said, this page amusingly mentions colocation in reference to media destruction: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/assurance/assur...
RSS is a wonderfully simple solution to get notifications for things I care about.

I came to the software industry a lot later than the inception of Web 2.0 and rediscovered RSS almost accidentally. I advocate for it too.

You’d be surprised how many people still care about this. My static site build broke the RSS[1] once recently, and I immediately got like 5 emails from different people.

Oh no, the DNN community is rediscovering the same things oldschool linear estimators had way back when? My old LMS variants!

(And it turns out the algorithms are not that different... just higher dimensional.)
I use Reeder Classic on iOS and the Mac (the pre-enshittified version that does not have a subscription model). I will likely stick to it until it’s completely unsupported (which it isn’t), although a key part of the experience for me is read item syncing via Feedly.

I also use Feeder for Android on my Supernote Nomad. It has the nice side benefit of creating EPUBs I can save/annotate/share.

I very much prefer to use a native app, and have no use for web-based RSS readers (I have created my own GPT-based AI summarizer that generates custom digests - https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2025/01/12/1730#daily-news-d...)

I’ve also got a soft spot for NetNewsWire, but don’t really use it since the above works for me to skim the equivalent of 200+ feeds over breakfast (I’m posting this from inside Reeder on my iPad mini).

Probably not part of the ideal customer profile here, but my initial reaction is alarm over privacy/security angles.

> We collect information that you provide directly to us, such as: [...] Snippets and workspace you create.

> We may share your information in the following situations: [...] With third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf.

> We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to maintain the security of your personal information.

Leads to questions/concerns like:

1. Are snippets always readable by the remote server? What if someone wants transmit very sensitive information like passwords or medical histories between their devices?

2. Does "services on our behalf" include companies that try to determine personal information for advertisement-targeting etc? If it just means "our remote LLM vendor", then the privacy policy of that unidentified service becomes very important.

3. Do "appropriate measures" mean the snippets are encrypted at rest? Is that encryption done in a way that each user has their own salt?
This boat could be easily sunk by drones or a guy with a big gun. Taiwan has plenty of both. Only way China sends this ship to Taiwan is if they already have a strong beach head and supply lines. At that point it’ll be tough for Taiwan either way.
Show HN: SaaS that turns your idea into a perfect 5-minute pitch
Hi Hacker News,

We’ve built Pitch Forge, an AI-powered SaaS tool designed to help startups create investor-ready pitch decks in minutes.

How it works:

1. Input your startup’s name, description, target audience (buyer persona), and desired pitch length (1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes).

2. Pitch Forge generates:

A professionally written script tailored to investors.

A PPT deck designed for clarity and impact.

An audio pitch of the script with emphasis on key points to help you practice or even use directly.

Why we built this:

Creating a pitch deck is stressful, especially for early-stage founders who may lack experience or design skills. We wanted to make the process fast, effective, and accessible for everyone.

What’s next?

We’re currently validating demand and gathering feedback. Sign up for early access on our waitlist: https://pitch-forge.com.

If you're a founder, investor, or just curious, we’d love to hear your thoughts! How can we make this more helpful for you?

Thank you!
That doesn’t tell you a lot. You would have to take a bath with and without magnesium, and without knowing whether it’s with or without magnesium, and then write down the effect for each bath.

Currently, it could just be the effect of the bath itself or placebo.
Newsblur has been stable and consistent since the Google Reader shutdown. Has plenty of goodies. Samuel Clay, the creator, is responsive to feedback.

Can't fault it.
It’s actually kinda funny when people say they’d only use Intel NICs (because of their good experience with e1000e), but then you look at Intel’s NGBASE-T (2.5/5 Gbit/s) trash fire or the X710 issues and they’ve just not been good for post-gigabit consumer-ish stuff. Granted, maybe the 19th stepping of i225 finally fixed something, I dunno.
> but it misses the point.

I don't think it misses the point as much as it's an entirely different point. When I talk to my coworkers about the uses of these automated marshaling systems at the boundary, they're not talking about correctness or "evolution". They talk about how annoying they find it to type. In the fingers hitting keyboard sense of that word.

They explicitly don't want a change 10 layers deep to result in any error in the parsing layer. They want the magical system to just do something at runtime.
Because the original idea of what we call "podcasting" is rooted on RSS.

For me it's Thunderbird, "Blogs & News Feeds" section. After version 120-something it stopped resizing images on article load - this is the part I find unsatisfying. Otherwise it just works.
What's the best way to set up port knocking on a Fedora / Debian server? While not a security measure per se, it adds a layer of obfuscation which blocks random scanners.
That’s sad. In the end, the only “billionarie-proof” strategy is being not for sale approach (FOSS, non-profit orgs).
> On one hand, one could think "oh, the current social network bashing is just the same doom and gloom reaction to more communication, it will pass".

I never understood this argument.

It's obvious that the pace and scale of "progress" increased dramatically, making things much harder to contain/study and making them much more potent to a much larger group of people

Were was he proved wrong that tabloids made people more stupid?
Humans are very adaptable, the fact that we're still here doesn't invalidate his opinion.

The logical progress from these things gave us 24/7 opinion news channels and they definitely make people stupid, much more than paper news.

Finally even if he was wrong, there is no logical way to use it to prove that a tiktok ban is wrong, someone being wrong about something vaguely related in the past doesn't automatically make every future vaguely related opinions wrong for eternity
Their's an old joke about this:

A Russian is on an airliner heading to the US, and the American in the seat next to him asks, “So what brings you to the US?” The Russian replies, “I’m studying the American approach to propaganda.” The American says, “What propaganda?” The Russian says, “That’s what I mean.”
I'm using it to orient me when tackling something new. For instance, the other day i was making a web driver client in shell and i asked it something apong the lines of "is there an http endpoint to the webdriver to get the class name of an element?"

These are the sort of questions i mostly do. "What is the best practice to read output from a device file in C", "Is there a cli tool to find dead typescript interface fields?"
Why not crypto? It's exactly that and works pretty well
Self-hosted FreshRSS. Simple and reliable. It just works.
We chose batman-adv because it's the most widely adopted and supported implementation of a wireless ad hoc mesh network :)
Freifunk is running deployments with several thousand nodes.[1] Since that was the scale we were aiming for, this is what we chose. We also considered 802.11s for a long time, but the hardware support is quite poor, especially on a device where people would try something like this: Raspberry Pis.

You are right that mDNS is a popular choice, and we even have it in our codebase to be able to debug on macOS.

However, mDNS is a flooding/multicast protocol, and although batman-adv optimizes those, it puts unnecessary strain on a mesh network. That’s why we didn't go with it.

It also gave us the opportunity to try out this other, in our view, more elegant approach to discovery.

Since IBSS is not really useful outside of Linux popular device support, like smartphones, it fell out of the picture pretty quickly (sadly). However, you can connect bridges to our mesh network (again exposing a batman-adv feature), which would give you the ability to connect phones (and of course, printers) to your robots.

Reeder Classic on Macs and iOS. https://reederapp.com/classic/

I use self-hosted FreshRSS as the sync backend.
I think this is wrong.

Descriptively / "objectively" if you make your demand cleaner, you decrease demand for dirty consumption. You can't say individuals don't matter by comparing them to the world, that's invalid.

Normatively, is it a useful lie? Maybe, to some extent. People are lazy, selfish, and stupid. Peter Singer points out that we might be nice to people nearby, but we don't give money to people starving in other countries even if we think it will make a real difference. And no human can really know how even a pencil is made, so we make poor decisions. A carbon tax would unleash the free market on the problem. But saying individuals can't act is not good leadership, if even the people who say they want to fix the issue won't make personal sacrifices, why should the average voter?
Self hosted Fresh RSS but Reeder as client on Mac and iDevices
Hallucination is a problem we'll have to live with for a long time
I'm still running a self-hosted Fever instance, it still didn't break down with newer PHP versions.

Using Reeder Classic as an RSS client. Also something threatened by unwanted updates.
There would still be potassium in there, unless it’s pulled out by the frying oil.

Elements can’t get lost in a chemical reaction. You can only change the molecule they’re part of, so it might not be processable by the human body, but the potassium isn’t going to disappear.
Yes, that’s a good way to think about it.

What if it was a ban, not on printing presses, but on a specific model of printing press, made in China, that happens to have 99% market share.

I want to try to see an analogy with Freenode, Libera,

Quickly skimmed through the Flox site and it looks like it’s based on Nix. The problem with the competitor https://www.jetify.com/devbox and most likely in Flox is that Nix makes trivial environment setup really easy but when you need something more complex it falls apart because the Nix packages are often unmaintained and simply broken.

Wrote my own.
Compounded drugs are only legally available when the fda declares there is a shortage. Once novo nordisk shows that they can make enough of it buying compounded versions will be illegal.
Elfeed on Emacs of course.
100% agree.

Insurance companies shouldn't get to pick and choose what drugs are in or out.

I was at a company, and Wegovy was covered.

Then randomly I got an email from HR, "Your medication is no longer covered."

The fuck is my insurance company doing telling my HR what medication I'm on? Even if they didn't say it outright, it wouldn't be hard to figure out giving the drugs that came off the list that were paid for that quarter. =P

Going cold turkey on these drugs is hard... like the doctors tell you that once you start taking them, you really aren't supposed to stop taking them. Or if you do, you have to do so gradually.

The drugs mimic the feeling of being satisfied from being full, by overloading your system with a synthetic version of that hormone that makes you feel that way.

Now... imagine going from "my parents used food to control my behavior growing up, and 40 years of bad behavior cemented that conditioning in place, so now it takes a lot of food to make me feel full / content," to "Oh this is nice, thank you drugs! Now I don't have to eat so much!" to "You're on your own, kid! And by the way, now that your body was used to the drugs, virtually no amount of food will make you feel full / content now. Let's see what happens!"

Fucking insurance companies. People are nothing but pre-existing conditions and behavioral patterns. It shouldn't be up to the insurance companies which ones they elect to cover. "Oh, did you think smoking was cool as a kid? Too bad, hope you die from lung cancer!" It just shouldn't be on them to choose.
Elfeed on Emacs of course

> And has similar democratic and human rights policies.

In Europe we have some direct and some less direct democracy and human rights that a really apply without any Guantanamo exceptions. When there are issues there are laws made, not singular platforms banned. It's not similar and offensive to say so.
By "subscription" do you only mean subscription? Don't notifications need to be enabled in addition (bell button)?

I'm using the RSS feeds, so I'm not sure...
I have my own Next loud instance with the RSS plugin enabled a d the companion app on my phone

Works fairly well.
> I don't think that your personal experience is of any interest

But you didn't specify what you meant by "useful," hence why I asked the question I did. So under such ambiguity, my assertion is absolutely a counterpoint to what you just said. I will ask again, useful for whom, by what definition?
Linux has out of the box support for the SBC-XQ hack, which is pretty much the highest quality, most widely supported (even by Apple hardware) low-latency-ish way to drive BT audio. Works exceptionally well. And switching profiles works better than under Windows.

fwiw the last time I had wireless issues was with an exceedingly cheap 2013 laptop built from tablet hardware. That required an out of tree driver for a few years.
Magnesium supplements are also really easy to overdo and the results are quite explosive.
I know I'm a bit of a broken record here, but "sometimes it hallucinates instead of being factual" is a bit like "sometimes the Ouija board fails to reach the afterlife spirits, instead of channeling them."

Both falsely imply that there's a solvable mechanical difference going on between results people like versus results people dislike.
The leopard hat was indeed the best :)

I didn't know anonymous was active on 4chan it's kind of uncomfortable for people of my ilk to be there so I avoid but that kind of checks out

Do you think there is/was any advantage to having a group labelled as a freedom fighter / vigilante perform hacking operations as opposed to official state actors during color revolutions?

Reels surely will be the winner. That’s surely why Zuckerberg has courted Trump.
how much of a PITA is it to add RSS to your own site?
How many of them actually work though? If you end up having to go fix upstream packages then having a tool manage your environment is not useful since you still have to understand the domain.

With Nix I usually ended up in a situation where I had to both figure out how to configure my environment _and_ fix the upstream Nix packages. At that point it’s just easier to stick to Homebrew and some custom shell scripts.
> If there were a revolutionary use, we would have a productivity boom. We don't.

What evidence do you have for this assertion? It seems like you are asserting something as fact when in reality it's your own personal opinion, yet ironically you are dismissing everyone else's personal experiences as mere opinion too.
Poe's Law, or you really don't remember the time where browsers had a huge button in the address bar to announce their feeds or that Firefox used to have a "Smart Bookmarks" feature to show you all the latest updates from all the feeds you subscribed to?
