lire is great. Ditched my Feedly lifetime sub for self-hosted FreshRSS and lire and I'm reading my RSS feeds again.

I've got an old Mac-Mini 2012 laying around. It was a gift. I never wanted to switch to Mac on this solid, but not very powerful machine. Over xmas last year I booted the thing, and it was unbearable slow, even with the original version of the OS on it. After an macOS update, it was unusable. I put an SSD in (thanks YouTube for the guidance) and booted it with Debian and on top of that installed CasaOS (web-based home server OS/UI). Now I can access my music (thanks Navidrome) from on the road (thanks Wireguard). Docker is still a mystery to me, but I already learned a lot (mapping paths)

Zen Browser (FF) on Win and Firefox on iOS (for sync) works well for me. Edge for all M365 related stuff. Still use Chrome for web dev. Not sure what to move on in that regard...

Is it easier to build a browser for MacOS? Arc was Mac only for the longest time, until they released a crippled Windows version. DuckDuckGo browser started Mac only.

I put that on our website, since I love RSS. We are not a tech company, though, so none of the potential applicants use it. I think some scraper/job boards consume it, but that's it. I built it mainly for fun and to signal virtue :)

It's still working for me. Maybe because I'm also using uMatrix?

No transparency of who is running this service. Mighty weird and sus.

I just love how natural the voice sounds (don't even need other voices) and that it shows up in my podcast player so I don't have to switch to another app.

The voices in pocket are not as good I think.

I guess what's missing in the podcast feed, is a direct link to the source article. But else, it's perfect.

Thank you!

This is perfect. I love that it fits seamless in my audio/podcast flow. I was listening to articles via Pocket before, but it's not as good as your product.

I suspect this will cost money sooner or later (text2speech and audio storage) - what are the plans here?

Great work. This should be extended to podcasts and images would be nice as well. At the end, maybe there is no way anymore to get non-technical people interested into these technologies if they can get their news from a preinstalled "news-app" and "podcasts" from spotify.

I myself just wrote a little script to turn youtube channels, playlists and searches into video feeds that I can subscribe to in my podcast player. I love rss.

Great write up for a problem I'm thinking about myself a lot (https://marcus-obst.de/wiki/Notetaking)

Thanks also for using the Yak Shaving - for one, I got curious what was first, the term or the Ren & Stimpy episode illustrating the term and second, I found a description of most of my modus operandi.
