Depends on the effort.
If you want a newbie friendly one with syncing: Feedly
If you care about open source and controlling your own data (but don’t care about syncing). Maybe liferea? There are tons of options.
If you care about syncing and don’t mind self-hosting: miniflux.
I use miniflux, but requires some tech knowledge to set up.
I have a RSS reader that I check everyday for articles / blogposts from websites I subscribe to.
The interesting stuff gets saved in Wallabag to read later. It syncs with my phone, and I can read offline whenever I got some time to kill.
What are you on about?
African countries have been flooded by Chinese goods, to the point that it has killed the local manufacturing in Africa. Look it up.
They don’t have the service industry the west has, so the only thing they can offer in return are raw materials, which China is happy to take.
Lemmy seems to hate went a western company exploits natural resources in Africa, but when China does it, they are somehow saving those poor people from the goodness of their hearts.
China isn’t really desperate for cheap natural resources as much as they are desperate for markets to export their manufactured goods.
Thus killing local manufacturing.
Why someone keeps chasing the latest gadgets when the old ones work just fine is beyond me.
Nobody is waiting every year for the brand new line of washing machines. Why is there a need to swap phones this frequently?
Not a blog, but a way of discovering new blogs. I subscribe to the unofficial best hacker news submissions RSS feed.
I found the blog on an IT guy that works in a research station in Antarctica.
Yes the interface is a mess. But it’s ridiculously deep once you get into it.
People who made it that far up are usually very driven, their job is their whole identity.
It’s probably hard to walk away from something they dedicated so much of their life to. More so if it involved sacrificing time for relationships, family, friends, etc.
defend their 1st and 2nd amendment rights.
I thought this was in Canada.
Genuinely curious, what would the advantages be?
Also, what if the Linux distro does not have systemd?
The conspiracy theory part of my brain tells me it’s the way companies can add an addictive substance to food without adding calories.
I think they are talking about docker containers.
Yes.
All my self hosted containers are bound to some volume (since they require reading settings or databases).
True.
But I assume OP was already running docker from that user, so they are comfortable with those permissions.
Maybe should have made it clearer. Added to my other post. Thanks!
You shouldn’t need sudo to run docker, just can create a docker group and add your user to it. This will give you the steps on how to run docker without sudo.
Edit: as pointed out below, please make sure that you’re comfortable with giving these permissions to the user you’re adding to the docker group.
For the littering part, just type crontab -e and add the following line:
@daily docker system prune -a -f
I see you already have an answer using podman.
But don’t be afraid of the command line. If you can copy/paste a few commands, it’s pretty easy to set up.
I honestly find installing docker harder than to start a locally hosted searxng instance.
Also, something like self-hosting your own email is way harder and requires a lot more maintenance. I’d leave that project to further down the line.
Not sure it will solve your problem, but if you’re not happy with the public SearXNG instances, you can run your own instance of SearXNG on your local machine, and even set up custom filters and redirects to get rid of SEO junk.
The EFF has supported the prosecution of Kiwi Farms, but not by using ISP blocks.
They understand that setting a legal precedent like this may cause serious harm to other people in the future (e.g. women).
Once an ISP indicates it’s willing to police content by blocking traffic, more pressure from other quarters will follow, and they won’t all share your views or values. For example, an ISP, under pressure from the attorney general of a state that bans abortions, might decide to interfere with traffic to a site that raises money to help people get abortions, or provides information about self-managed abortions. Having set a precedent in one context, it is very difficult for an ISP to deny it in another, especially when even considering the request takes skill and nuance. We all know how lousy big user-facing platforms like Facebook are at content moderation—and that’s with significant resources. Tier 1 ISPs don’t have the ability or the incentive to build content evaluation teams that are even as effective as those of the giant platforms who know far more about their end users and yet still engage in harmful censorship.

I follow the daily best posts on hacker news https://hnrss.github.io/
This exposes me to quite interesting blogs (mainly tech, but not always). If I find someone worth following, I’ll add their blog to my list as well. That’s how I’ve been building my RSS feeds over the years.
From the non tech blogs that I’ve found there, from the top of my head, these are nice
https://going-medieval.com/ - medieval history professor’s blog. She’s quite witty, and makes super interesting posts about the daily lifes of people in the middle ages.
https://brr.fyi - blog from an IT guy working in a scientific research center in Antarctica.
