I've recently (finally) taken the leap into self-hosting my RSS reader, and I'm wondering what feeds everyone's subscribed to

I've currently got some basics like Github releases for software I use, the great selfh.st blog for self-hosted news, hackaday, some essentials like xkcd, and an attempt at following new music releases from artists I like, but I'm sure there are other great feeds out there that I should also be aware of

I saved the post because I've always been interested in aggregating a RSS feed, but I need ideas for what to subscribe to. Thanks for making the post

Edit: 9 months later, I finally set my RSS feed up...it makes me feel cool, like I run a digital newspaper

[–] JadedBlueEyes@programming.dev 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Here are some interesting feeds I follow, mostly tech-focused and quite Rust heavy:

Generated by opening an OPML export in firefox, running the following script and deleting a bunch of feeds:

 "- " + [...document.querySelectorAll("body > outline > outline")].map((f) => `[${f.getAttribute("text")}](${f.getAttribute("htmlUrl")}) \`${f.getAttribute("xmlUrl")}\``).join("\n- ")

Youtube channels. A simple timeline of uploads, only showing chanels I care about.

[–] rutrapio@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Well, managed by the great FreshRSS and read via the beautiful Read You android app (french here, so some sites won't ring a bell to most):

  • geek : a few on warhammer 40k and miniature painting, some tech related (like official android website, journaldugeek, korben, clubic, le café du geek, MariusHosting, selfh.st, and some others)
  • webcomics : badspace, getcomics, questionablecontent (well, used to, it doesn't work anymore), work chronicles, and of course xkcd
  • pro : stuff related to laws and compliance, but also stuff related to automation in MS3652 environment ('cause I'm lazy AF, and if I can automatize it, let's do it !)
  • hobbies : warhammer (again) and analog photography related stuff, but very few, I should expand that list.
[–] minimalfootprint@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

badspace has a RSS feed? I thought signing up for the newsletter was the only way

[–] rutrapio@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have to say I only put the url in freshrss, and magic happened. Fresh found https://www.badspacecomics.com/blog-feed.xml

[–] minimalfootprint@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks a lot! Sometimes the internet is just wizards. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

[–] rutrapio@jlai.lu 3 points 1 year ago

Definitly, and people who write those soft are my magic heroes ! :)

[–] mondoman712@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What analog photography feeds do you have? I'm currently only subscribed to Emulsive, which seems to have stopped being updated, and parts of 35mmc

[–] rutrapio@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only two so far. A followed a few french one, but they stopped or don't match with what I want : (argentique2.2, Clement Blin, AnalogYou.

Emulsive, more to keep tracks of past articles, and analog.cafe. On the site, some paywall, but via FreshRSS and ReadYou, I seem able to read the entire of the articles. I'll take 35mmc, but if you find more, I'll be interested :)

[–] mondoman712@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Cool thank you, I haven't heard of analog.cafe before.

[–] AnExerciseInFalling@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Heyy I've been looking around at different android apps and I think I've also settled on "Read You." Thank you for the list, I haven't heard of lots of them like MariusHosting and they look interesting

Which feeds do you watch for automation? I also like automating what I can lol

[–] rutrapio@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago

For automation : [](Let's POWER Automate), SPGuides and SPLighbulb moments.

Also, but not via RSS, but via youtube : Reza Dorrani, Sharepoint Maven, Pragmatic Works, Academy 365.

A question for the ages: why are there so many young cybersecurity furries?

Does the field attract furries, or does it create them?

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I think it's attraction

[–] rosahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

mostly youtube channels and online webcomics (xkcd my beloved), although there is the occassional podcast (none of which I have listened to)

[–] 0x0@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Dozens... yt channels, tech blogs, changelogs, etc

[–] Cycadophyta@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 year ago

Lemmy communities work as RSS feeds. I came here from my RSS reader (Nunti on android) :)

[–] K3can@lemmy.radio 1 points 1 year ago

Nerd blogs, a couple message boards and Reddit subs, and XKCD, of course.

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

selfh.st is popular

Mostly local activist groups, some software sites to see what's in updates, few political blogs.

[–] JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't this like saying "What phone numbers do you have in your address book?"
