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
FreshRSS is ugly and sometimes clunky but seems to be unparalleled for features and support (Reeder + Netnewswire for clients) as far as selfhosted options go
rss is working on the instance i'm using. make sure you're on a recently updated one
along these lines, here’s one that specializes in Japanese games and supports rss by category for large and small developers: https://themakoreactor.com/
and another indie one for JP stuff that maintains RSS: https://noisypixel.net/
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.
nice little guide, i'm surprised your pi can run the media servers though without being really slow. i'd also suggest using an alternate webui for qbittorrent if you're only interacting with it through the webui. i like https://github.com/WDaan/VueTorrent
wow, i completely missed this the last time i tried out calibre-web, if it was even integrated. awesome, thanks. i also found this guide: https://code.mendhak.com/kobo-customizations/#syncing-kobo-with-calibre-web
could be cool to tie in a pixelfed community or instance
i've used this one before but i hasn't been updated in a while
some high-volume automated aggregator news feeds:
and a personal fav: https://mastodon.social/@archaeology@mstdn.social
since those are news feeds rather than people, i gotta shout out this Firefox add-on for finding people’s mastodon accounts after visiting their blog or other pages. it’s really cool: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/streetpass-for-mastodon/
edit-homepage with other platforms: https://streetpass.social/
as in it pulls everything you add to the calibre library on a schedule rather than pulling individually/manually like from OPDS? how do you pull this off?
this guy always gives some good context for this kind of sensational diet/health claim: https://proxitok.pussthecat.org/@roblapham/video/7252049382957255942
i finally remembered the other service that supports app store updates. scroll to Apple App Store here: https://rss-bridge.org/bridge01/
nice, i have one of those carts too and put some hanging canvas organizers on the back to put controllers and stuff in. however, i wouldn't be able to see a thing happening on that monitor without being a couple feet away (like at a desk)- how close do you sit to it??
I just try to stay out of the actual webui as much as possible, pretty much only going in to change filters. maybe there’s an extension for better tagging?
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
also you might like https://www.techmeme.com/ as a high-volume aggregator.
i’d love for a good tech journalist to look into how and why this is happening and do a full write-up on it. come on ars, verge, vice
