Running #netbsd on my refurbished thinkpad x61. With #ctwm, #emacs, #elfeed. #runbsd I've tried to participarte on #oldcomputerchallenge... I tried at least :awesome: @solene

@thefranke @thedarktangent @round @WTL #Emacs #Elfeed and #Gnus

I used to listen to #podcasts through Google, then through Spotify, then Spotify Lite, and now I just love listening to them raw through #firefox and the RSS feed (#elfeed on my pc, #feeder on my phone). There are tradeoffs -- can't share as easily, don't have playlists of them, can't cast. But I also don't have things getting paused accidentally by the service or by others on my account (there are no accounts at all!), and I don't need to worry about things tracking/sharing my listening data. At least, not for podcasts. It's the way podcasts were meant to be!

@dekkzz76 Yeah, Invidious is good in that regard. And provides better feeds, by the way.

The problem I had is that Invidious instances tend to be somewhat unstable, and changing an instance in #elfeed is not great because it will duplicate the videos.

@sqrtminusone

hi you ever find youtube rss feeds in #elfeed throw a "no enclosure" error in #emms ?

@daviwil There's something for rss in #Emacs other than #Elfeed?

@heydon

#elfeed in #emacs

@adyxax @galdor nice looking system and I'll check it out, although I can't see myself moving away from #elfeed anytime soon. Am far too deep into the #emacs rabbit hole these days 😬

@RogerBW that's an interesting approach, and I'll check it out. Unfortunately my email is still hosted by the big G, and getting out of that eco-system is not an easy thing to do 🙁

I like that with #elfeed the database just stays on my disc, and doesn't have to go through any third party at all.

Thanks to #feedly it looks as if it's time for us all to promote our favourite #rss reader! It's *definitely* not going to be for everyone, but the Emacs based Elfeed is simply the best feed reader I've ever used.

@jeffgerstmann The usual option of #Emacs + #Elfeed is an option, so long as you're willing to use Emacs.

That might require some additional fucking around on iOS to get it to run something from outside the Apple walled garden.

quick question for the smarter lisp folks. i'm using elfeed for my rss feeds, and i'm thinking of swapping over to just using it to manage my youtube subs. is there an easy way to add a key they copies the youtube link to a file so i can play that file in mpv or vlc?
it would have to add it to the bottom of the list, without deleting the stuff on above so it becomes a watch later playlist.

i've seen a couple of ideas to just make things open in mpv, and stuff, but nothing to add to a list so i can just hit play and let it run through.

@daviwil If you don't mind the self-promotion I can suggest the year old el-secretario: https://sr.ht/~zetagon/el-secretario/

It's a bit complicated though. It allows you to combine different sources (e.g.email, RSS, or org-mode file) into a single inbox.

To use modern lingo, it allows you to browse things like email or feeds without having to switch apps. Instead you just continue to swipe.

#Emacs #orgmode #elfeed

Shut down my #nextcloud and split it up into separate services. I was the sole user on my instance and was using just 3 apps, so Nextcloud was overkill

File storage from vm to #truenas (separate bare metal conputer)
File sync to #syncthing
CardDAV to #baïkal
RSS feeds to #elfeed in Emacs
Music app swapped with #gonic (subsonic server) that supports more of the API that Nextcloud's app

@ploum #elfeed, mais c'est un peu comme offpunk, je ne pense pas que ça soit pertinent pour tout le monde 🙂

@natty @MiaWinter @glassicCzar There's also #elfeed. Through the magic of #Emacs, it looks the same on all OSes.

Gave up on #gnus and #rss2email for reading mastodon toots (mostly #hashtag lists) and switched to #elfeed. I wanted the scoring etc. that gnus gives me but it just didn't gel. elfeed does work very well and allows me to combine #fediverse with blog feeds easily for quick browsing.

One problem with toots is that they don't have titles unfortunately.

@voltur #Elfeed (https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed) should also work on Windows.

#Emacs

C’est décidé : je passe à emacs 29. Cette version n’est pas encore publiée, mais Guix l’a déjà. Tout à l’air de se passer correctement : elfeed est toujours là, magit aussi. Mais maintenant, j’ai enfin accès au très attendu tree-sitter !

J’aimerais apprendre à utiliser vc-mode, on m’a dit qu’il était bien. Ceci dit, je suis un grand fan de rebase et de fixup, est-ce que je vais trouver comment faire ?

#emacs #emacs29 #guix #TreeSitter #git #magit #elfeed

@dekkzz76 @mdotblind That'd be part of why I like #elfeed, you can tag feeds and search among them fairly nicely, so managing the flow remains feasible.
