Kennt jemand #RSS Feeds zu Eilmeldungen von seriösen, idealerweise #ÖRR Newsseiten? #Tagesschau, #ZDF & #DlF scheinen das zumindest nicht "von Haus aus" anzubieten. Gibt es da ggf. Drittdienste, die das webscrapen & als Feed anbieten?

Bezüglich der bereits kommentierten #Alerta App, habe ich das ganze mal zum Anlass genommen, #OPML und #RSS Dateien zu den von mir genutzten Nachrichtenquellen in #Newsplanet einzubauen: https://news.jayvii.de, darunter auch viele der in Alerta genannten Nachrichtenseiten.

Hat man einen ähnlichen Nachrichtengeschmack wie ich, können die OPML-Dateien nun sehr einfach in den eigenen RSS-Reader importiert werden (z.B. "Feeder", wie oben erwähnt) oder man kann die zusammengestellten News meines "Newsplanet" per RSS abonnieren.

Habe kürzlich bei #nd von dem "Linken Newsaggregator #Alerta" gelesen: https://www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1189724.linke-medien-app-linke-vielfalt-auf-dem-handy.html

Die Idee zur APP ist grundsätzlich cool, insbesondere da es linke, unabhängige Medien eine Plattform gibt. Das ganze scheint mehr oder minder auf #RSS Feeds zu basieren, also offene Schnittstellen nutzt und nicht Algorithmus getrieben ist. Die Auswahl linker Medien ist dabei ebenfalls recht umfassend! Ich habe sogar einige neue Blogs & Organisationen entdeckt.

Schade hingegen: die App ist voll von Tracking (u.a. Meta/Facebook & Google: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/de/reports/de.alerta_app.alerta/latest/

Eine IMO bessere Variante der App: ein handelsüblicher RSS Reader (für #Android z.B. Feeder), der dann selbst mit linken Medien gefüllt wird. Man kann sich hier durchaus von der Alerta-Liste inspirieren lassen, denn die Auswahl ist echt gut. Aber darüber hinaus kann man dann auch beliebig andere (auch englischsprachige News, die in Alberta fehlen) hinzufügen. Und das absolut Tracking- und Werbefrei.

Some time this week people on here were posting their .opml files (exports of feeds, blogs and websites they were following with their #RSS reader).

I took a few hours today to go through many of those blogs and found quite interesting, quirky and delightful sites.

I already read quite interesting or entertaining thoughts of many people from all over the world today, but the "blog" category in my news reader is still overflowing with unread blog posts right now. So still lots to read in the coming few weeks

Been working on a simple bookmarking client ("rememori") completely written in #PHP, without any data base in the back, but instead based on simple .txt files.

The features include (for now):

1. tagging (only one per note),
2. a simple search through all your notes,
3. automatic title-fetching for URL-notes,
4. a simple API endpoint for programmatically adding new notes (I imported all my linkding bookmarks via three lines in bash and #curl),
5. #RSS feeds for individual categories (so you can use it as read-it-later application together with an RSS reader

Also... Wie schon seit fast zwei Jahrzehnten per #RSS möglich? 🤔

I was playing with the idea of writing a very simple #selfhost|able webservice in #PHP where you can toss URLs to with a GET request and it puts out all previously collected URLs as an #RSS feed. That way I could add a very simple #ReadItLater functionality to my rss reader.

Turns out, the link-collection service I have been using for months (called linkding, check it out, it is great!) can do exactly that 😅

This was actually a nice read!

While I would probably not go for a "dumb" or feature phone at the moment (particularly for messaging; SMS is an insecure technology that needs to die already), the overall sentiment does resonate a lot with me.

I've read a bunch of insightful blogposts, articles and long-reads over the past few months about this topic. I did switch my habits a fair bit, especially after reading this post by amolith, which I also enjoyed a lot as well: https://secluded.site/pull-vs-push-intentional-notifications/

What I concluded for me personally is, that I want to be a lot less online to "kill time". This especially affects social media (in my case, that means the #fediverse) and doom-watching YouTube videos.

I intentionally selfhost an ActivityPub server that has few bells and whistles and is overall somewhat geared towards a slower feed (it's called #ktistec, check it out and leave some warm words for its developer!). I check in once a day or every other day. Still have some nice interactions and interesting thoughts to read, but nothing dragging me back every few minutes or notifications popping up constantly.

I enjoy reading interesting articles and blogposts and of course news about hobby interests, software developments & releases, discussions and A LOT about international, European and German politics. I use mostly #RSS for that. Again, this also follows the idea of "pull, not push". My preferred RSS client #miniflux just sits there and keeps collecting all my neatly compiled sources. And whenever I get around to it, I pull it up and start reading what's interesting and discard the rest. It does not notify me, it does not stress me: pull, not push.

Lastly, I started to use the Do Not Disturb mode of my phone and computer very liberally. Mostly on a timer during most of the day (during work and from 8PM until waking up), allowing only phone calls to get through and only from people in my contact list. I told family and friends to call me, when they need something from me immediately or for important issues. Messages on #signal can take several hours (sometimes days) until I see them.

This has gotten me in a better place, I think. Still, there are some "left-over issus" I am still unhappy about, such as YouTube/VOD consumption, which is still way more than I would like. And also the fact that i constantly have my phone on me and often times also in my hand, rarely even during conversations, which is horrible!

But I decided to not stress myself about that too much and work on minor changes in a consistent manner, as I have during the past months and years. It is all a process.

There is that one odd #podcast I like which is only available on #youtube, which of course can not be inserted into my podcatcher OOTB.

So I wrote a little #PHP-script which refactors youtube's #rss into podcast rss-feed and fetches audio of video-entries on-demand via #ytdlp. It is not quite finished (for example, video-descriptions as well as channel-images are not fully implemented yet), but it is already functional. I use it with @AntennaPod without any issues.

Not sure, if this is too niche, but in case anyone else has a use for that: https://codeberg.org/jayvii/yt2rss
