In an attempt to use my smartphone a lot less, I am currently trying Newsboat's Podcast integration and a slim script I hacked together this morning. It automatically fetches podcast episodes, downloads and pushes them to the MP3-Player I bought a few months ago for taking to the gym.

It is of course a little bit more clunky than simply using Antennapod on my smartphone, but honestly, it is a quite smooth and pleasant experience nonetheless. Let's see how this goes for a few weeks.

How did I not know about muspy? FOSS tool that informs you about music releases of your favourite interprets via RSS or as ical calendar event? Sign up me (literally)!

It is almost tragic that the only bearable news reading experience on the desktop is delivered by freaking #newsboat #newsbeuter #rss

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?

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

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 😅
