Well, it clearly isn’t finding Truth.

What benefits does RSS have over normal news sites?

Main benefit is that you don’t have to visit websites to get the news. And once the news are on your client it is up to you to decide how to work with it. Filter ads from articles, or remove all articles with the word “orange” from your feed, let an AI add a summary at the top, automatically fetch the full version of the text (if it isn’t already). RSS means you are in control of what and how you consume.

Are they more privacy-focused?

That depends on your client and configuration. Do you block/filter ads? Do you proxy images? Do you proxy the requests to the rss file?

What feeds would you recommend for a fellow Lemmy user?

This very drastically depends on the user. I have web comics, releases from GitHub, news, porn, tech/cooking/gaming blogs, general News, shopping alerts, my selfhosted change detection, YouTube feeds and more in there.

That is awesome. Was thinking about building a service which sends me the top X entries of a subreddit each week, but this is even better!

Too bad that that is a country tld, which means they could basically withdraw that from you at any point.

This old blog post summarises a lot of pain points: https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html

Similar to Brave (and more recently Proton) I simply can’t trust them, despite liking the idea of their respective services.

It was okay while I was using it. Just a bit pricey. But I stopped using it when they started the whole “EUs GDPR doesn’t apply to us” non-sense. Simply not a company I can trust to handle personal data properly.

If it works for you, there is no reason to switch.

The benefit for me is mostly the systemd integration (e.g. do a simple DB backup before running the container using StartExecPre) & the corresponding unified logging with journalctl. Then there is auto update and boot persistence without having to run an additional process.

The hardest part for me was to switch from docker compose to quadlets, but there is podlet to help with the conversion.

Honestly, I am surprised that Nexus Mods hasn’t started a tracker yet.

I would love to see these games on GOG. As of now a lot of the can be found on the high seas alone, sadly. (Looking at Black&White there)

Well, no mail client. Browsers, ntfy, gotify and others can receive notifications too.

Thanks for the suggestions, but no, I have not. I am not looking to replace my mail app, but to remove it from my phone/desktop entirely and instead running something similiar on a server, so I can access it from my phone/desktop when needed.

Thank you, this definitely goes into the right direction and I will check them out!

but then you’d still have to have your mobile mail client go and download all this mail you said is a battery drain, so you’re sort of negating yourself.

That is precisely my point. I do not want a mobile or desktop client anymore. Just a client which is running on a system which is always running anyway to send me a notification and I can then decide if I will check it out now or if it can wait.

Proprietary mobile clients often work similarly, they do the “heavy lifting” on the server side, send a notification, but only temporarily load the mails you explicitly view temporarily on the device. And thus, they use less battery and storage of the device. Another benefit for the unified client would be faster sync of mail status (e.g. read/unread) as it is only one client on the IMAP server instead of one on each device. And another benefit would be not having to migrate email clients when replacing devices.

Now do Amazon & Etsy. Surely the resellers can vouch for the safety of their china imported products😂

A working nitter instance?!

Deleting after x days is possible with Pinchflat, iirc.

Nexus Mods “controversey,”

What “happened” this time?

Maybe Memos:

Or as others mentioned Obsidian with Git or Syncthing or Livesync for multiple devices. It is extremely versatile.
