believe it or not you don’t need to buy a brand new device that’s, by both its spec sheet and benchmarks, less performant than a 2020 MacBook Air, in the opening stages of a global economic depression

you don’t actually owe these capitalists your attention, your free advertising, or your money. they do not give a shit that you’ll be the goodest little consumer and use your neo to make cozy little indie games and ssh into servers and program mcus and post on fedi. you’re invisible to them.

New rule for work - y'all should know:
Don't use red on visuals for executives; they are like bulls and will go mad regardless of context. Orange may allow you a moment to explain.

Spectacularly corrupt:

Obviously, Ukraine does not want to allow Russian oil flowing through Ukraine to Hungary, while Viktor Orbán is working against Ukraine in the EU.

But being about to lose the Hungarian elections on April 12, a desperate Orbán now seizes two armored bank trucks owned by a Ukrainian bank, travelling from Vienna to Kiev, carrying $40 million, €35 million, and 9 kg gold.

While we are trying to defeat Russia, Orbán is now stealing from Ukraine.

If we start posting stuff like fam get to batterymaxxing those smoke alarms send help because men from space have put our bodies in pods and are now running the account.

Also interested in any adjacent projects who might want to share code or ideas for improvement.

@pluralistic
As this matures I'd be happy to share code with others if there is interest. It's a dockerized project. Next it needs a feed manager so I don't have to choose between editing json and burning tokens to adjust feeds.
I run it in a webpage on DDG behind a pihole, so clicking through to web pages for reading remains semi private and relatively low ad. I also pair it to tailscale so my locally hosted page is always available to me and family with the same experience.

You can roll your own reader!

This weekend I built my own locally hosted rss+ reader. Yes, used Claude.
Why? I want features, my features & cuz I can now, thx Claude. No worries about sunset, lives on NAS.

My Features? Crawler enhanced, Jina API allows me to scrape pages without rss or decent html feeds. Jina also does tagging and categorization, creates summary cards for every story. The next layer creates briefs of any feed with LLM. Great read aloud too.
