does anyone have an actual horror story about anything happening via an exposed web service? let’s set aside SSH

i’m pretty sure you can just drop the normal channel url into freshrss and it’ll convert it automatically. maybe it’s an extension doing that though

i have one running debian as a secondary backup to run just smart home stuff and pi-hole. you can set it up to start back up after power failure. was like $50 used. there’s basically no point in it being a mac rather than an old lenovo machine, but it sure is cute looking.

pretty cool, i want to encourage this purely in the interest of building up a community of more interesting themes. that part of freshrss is so bland.

i’ve been enjoying it, the docs are really good. i think it could be a little “smarter” like with recognizing schedules, but it’ll only get better. a major limiting factor for me that isn’t any fault of actual is that my apple card either through simplefin or manually exporting only allows download of the previous month’s transactions after closing. so for that account it’s not really useful for seeing where i’m at budget-wise halfway through the month, only in retrospect and forecasting.

anyone else getting 403 for the feed itself?

i’m so on board for a .ics renaissance like we’ve had for rss. let’s put these calendars to use.

and it’s easily reversible from macOS’s perspective? i’m familiar enough with partition OS installs (remember boot camp?) but there’s so many new security “features” these days

so is there a way to try asahi on my m1 macbook without overwriting my macos install?

Risk of Rain 2

just gonna be 100% upfront, i would only use this if it could index my downloads folder of pirated games that are folders with setup.exe inside

i’ve tried it, it’s soooo overdesigned. linkding works for me

i run ABS as a web based manager for drm free audiobooks but the player itself is just totally unreliable, i download the files and add them to BookPlayer on iOS

these numbers are nearly reaching the point where buying seasons of shows on iTunes, which always seemed insanely expensive, becomes the better option for people who watch specific stuff. never thought I’d see the day

youtube suggestions are genuinely terrible for the individual and humanity as a whole

idk, i wonder if youtube could even work if you always had to be logged in. when i imagine what most of youtube’s activity is, i think of the foreign music videos with billions of views. could their ad model with those kinds of numbers possibly work if they put account auth barriers in front of it? how many hotel lobbies, barber shops, etc are playing youtube on loop logged out worldwide? netflix level drm would radically change the platform.

rss is working on the instance i’m using. make sure you’re on a recently updated one

wonder if they’re gonna nuke nsfw rss feeds

i finally remembered the other service that supports app store updates. scroll to Apple App Store here: https://rss-bridge.org/bridge01/

RSS, basically. for software with github releases, there’s an RSS feed for release feeds by appending .atom to the releases page, like https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases.atom

check out nitter.net for twitter RSS, has been going strong through API changes. also since you mentioned Apple stuff, it’s not per small update but they publish major stuff on the Newsroom feed which has an RSS feed: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/rss-feed.rss
