What's the ideal self hosted RSS setup? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I use FreshRSS in a docker container both served and funneled from my tailscale network (can't fetch feeds otherwise) and I read it on mobile with FeedMe. My main reason for using FeedMe is the customizable mobilizer though I'm pretty sure you can enable that in FreshRss as well.

Need help getting started in c/[email protected]

I recently fell into this rabbit hole myself! Though I decided against hosting the blog myself(because I don't want to do anything stupid lol) Nowadays for sites like that you can install a static site generator to automatically build the site based off of markdown files. I personally use Hugo but I hear good things about Jekyll too.

The way mine is set up I make a post or a page on my machine and push it to my backend github repo. Github detects a change and rebuilds the site with the new content using a github action, then uploads the whole public folder to my host at neocities.

Can I install linux on this? in c/[email protected]

It should! As long as you can get it to the bios screen you should be able to get it to boot a live USB. I actually resurrected my EeePC1005 two weeks ago with DamnSmallLinux2024.

A Rising Enforcement of Censorship in c/[email protected]

I can too, which is what gets me. Honestly after I think it might boil down to how far removed your provider is from directly getting the number from the FCC(or how trigger happy the entity they're getting the number from). Also possibly if it's considered a landline or mobile number, it looks like those are distributed differently.

Sort of? It looks like this is unique to SMS over VOIP. Which don't get me wrong, it's still fucking stupid. But maybe, just maybe there's a middle ground between getting inundated in robocallers trying to reach us about our cars extended warranty and not being able to send the word Scunthorpe over SMS.
