What is the YandoriRSSBot?

I just happened to have my NLJ logs open (I had opened them when the site was slow for a moment). I saw something called the YandoriRSSBot requesting the NLJ ATOM feed. While not unprecedented, almost all the feed fetchers ask for the regular RSS feed. I decided to search for the user agent to see if it is coming from a new feed reader that I had never heard of. Unfortunately, Known Agents has no information about it beyond the fact that it has been reported in the wild. But I ran another […]

I saw YandoriRSSBot in my server logs. I undertook an investigation and learned that it is connected to a new product shared on Hacker News.

Why RSS matters

The future of the web depends on simple, open standards.

Back in May I published a NLJ article titled Failing to Try Airport Illy Coffee Vending Machine. While researching the Illy vending machines, I came across a website called Vending Connection. Being a fan of vending machines, I added Vending Connection to my feed collection. Just yesterday (November 7), I read a new Vending Connection post titled Copper Moon Coffee Announces Two New Seasonal Blends: White Christmas and Winter SolsticeI usually buy my coffee beans at D’Amico in Brooklyn’s Carroll Gardens neighborhood. D’Amico has a very good White Christmas blend. I was curious how the Copper Moon White Christmas compares. After concluding that the price is very reasonable ($31 for two pounds of whole beans with shipping), I placed an order. Christmas is coming early.

(Does this make up for my failure to try the Illy vending machine coffee?)

A deep dive into the #rss feed reader landscape

RSS feeds and, in one form or another, feed readers, have existed for more than 20 years. Their main purpose is enabling their users to consume content from various sources in one place. And especially in recent years, also helping users deal with content overload.

> interesting overview, and the authors new RSS entry ( #Lighthouse now in beta ) looks interesting

இது ஒரு நல்ல இணைய தளம் – https://scour.ing

RSS பீட்களை கண்டுபிடிக்கவும் தொடரவும் நல்ல வாய்ப்பு அமைத்துக் கொடுக்கிறது. பார்க்க சாதாரணமாக இருந்தாலும் பிரமாதமான உள்வேலைகள் செய்திருக்கிறார் இதை உருவாக்குபவர்.

முதலில் ஒன்றிரண்டு என்றுதான் ஆரம்பித்தேன், அவர் அளிக்கும் பரிந்துரைகள் நாம் தொடர விரும்பும் விஷயங்களை வளர்த்துக் கொண்டே போகின்றன.

நாம் தொடரும் பீட்களை வேறு rss ரீடரில் வாசிக்கும் வாய்ப்பு உண்டு. அது போக நாம் பரிந்துரைக்கும் பக்கங்களை மட்டும் ஒரு பீடாக எடுக்க முடிந்தால் இன்னும் நன்றாக இருக்கும்.

மிக நல்ல முயற்சி. ஆதரவு அளிக்கும்படி கேட்டுக் கொள்கிறேன்.

I noted in my most recent New Leaf Journal article that I am temporarily daily driving Ubuntu Touch on my phone. One problem on Ubuntu Touch is its limited native app selection. But that may not be a problem for my feed reader. I run my own Miniflux instance and I always use it in a web browser. I used a native Ubuntu Touch web app called Webber to create a Miniflux “web app” (using Ubuntu Touch’s default Morph web broswer) and then successfully signed in (using a bluetooth keyboard to type my six word password). It works perfectly with the small caveat that my Miniflux instance has looked better than it does in Morph.

In what appears to be his first post on a new blog, Zach Perkel tackles when, precisely, AI took over Hacker News. I subscribe to an feed of Hacker News page one articles. The sheer volume of AI-related submissions is bleak, almost as bleak as whatever happened to page one subsequent to the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. There may now be more AI posts than references to Kagi (if you know, you know). I have applied Miniflux filters to block much of what I consider to be the noise. That has significantly reduced the number of items in the feed. At some point I may think about using Hacker News RSS to create a more curated feed, more likely to yield articles of interest to me. Did I just give myself a new article topic?

I respond to a post on the sheer volume of AI-related submissions on Hacker News, noting that I have used Miniflux filters to filter many posts about AI.

Following the advice and instructions at https://jamesg.blog/2024/06/06/publish-h-feed, I've now enabled #hfeed (HTML feed) for my blog¹ and my linkblog². I really like that idea of HTML of a page itself being a machine readable feed for #feedReaders. Unfortunately, AFAIK, no readers have native support for HFeed yet. Thankfully, we can use https://granary.io/ to convert an HFeed to an #Atom or #RSS #feed.

Publish a h-feed, then convert to other formats | James' Coffee Blog

I have been confused several times by errors related to RSS. RSS is wonderful given its wide support, but authorship of RSS feeds is difficult. I find HTML easier to work with than XML, which is why I write all my feeds in h-feed. h-feed is a feed format that is marked up in HTML classes rather than in a separate file. A h-feed can then be converted into RSS. I use Granary for converting feeds.

Uso feeder como lector RSS en Android, pero me gustaría usar un lector que permitiera bloquear artículos no solo por su título, sino también por su contenido (por ejemplo, bloquear todos los artículos con "ESCAPARATE" en el cuerpo).

¿Conocéis alguno con esa opción?
