  • I usually read my RSS feeds on my phone. That’s fine - I could do this by just subscribing to the sources directly. But every once in a while I want to look up something I read some years ago and I don’t quite remember what the article was called and where it was published. Filtering and searching on my desktop is much more convenient and I have my history saved there - even if the blog in question is offline in the meantime. In addition some RSS feeds only send a short text and a “read more” link. With FreshRSS I can configure a feed to automatically load the complete article from the website and in my reader it shows up as if the feed was a real full feed with pictures and everything. I can even compress the pictures to optimize loading as my main reader is my phone.













  • Having the tags is nice, but I don’t think mandating it is the way to go.

    People who hate AI to the bitter end will use a [NOT AI] tag and signalize people who think alike that this status of the project will most likely never change.

    Other people might happily tell everyone the used AI and use the respective tag as well.

    But most people don’t care and wouldn’t use either. This also means that a project that currently uses no AI, but does not use the tag might do so in the future, which is also an important information - for the AI haters.



  • I find this too prohibitive. Even with the exception this would make me think twice about a promo post and maybe even refrain me from posting at all. For non-except services it is even worse. It may lead to spam posts or users trying to categorize contributions into useful and not useful posts.

    Self hosting does not end for everyone with free services. Some of us are happy to pay for services provided by others and I would really like to read about these here as well. I know this is not the intention of the rule, but it will be its result.

    I wouldn’t say that GitHub is not stable. I hope we will learn what the reason was, I hope at least Tom will get to know what it was and I am sure he will take this into consideration.

    Of course I cannot speak for him. My understanding is that he is considering this, but his priority at the moment is to find out and solve the reason for his shadowban on GitHub. Maybe he will move to another platform (I think Codeberg was mentioned once or twice), but changing the platform will no doubt result in additional work that needs to be planned as he is doing this in his spare time. The GitHub situation needs to be solved first as he needs this account also for work as I understand it.

    The creator’s GitHub account is in limbo. He can see everything just normal, but for everyone else it’s just a 404. GitHub support is informed but unresponsive.

    There is a Matrix chat where the creator posts updates (although there is not much to update): KitchenOwl

    There is no reason to believe that the latest version available on Docker Hub (0.7.7) is compromised in any way. If you want to play it safe use 0.7.6 (3 months old).
