Subscribing to YouTube channels using RSS

Although I unsubscribed from all YouTube channels and removed the app from my phone, I now try to consume videos in a more controlled way. I now subscribe to channels using my feed reader Miniflux. It seems like each YouTube channel has a channel ID, consisting of a random string, and an optional username. I found the following methods to work to subscribe to a channel: If the YouTube channel has a custom username (the URL of the channel is https://www.

I've been thinking of buying a used OnePlus One to run UB Ports' Ubuntu Touch on it. Anyone has any experience running UT on that device? If so, how's the experience been?

I've always been an LTS Ubuntu guy. However, as Canonical seems to be getting cozier and cozier with Microsoft, I've decided to move two of my laptops away from Xubuntu: one's running Manjaro Xfce; the other, MX Linux 19. So far the experience's been great on both distros. We'll see where this takes...

My stay in shape scheme is very simple: step one, constantly lift heavy desktop computers off shelves for mantainence and tinkering. Step two, get so involved in said tinkering that I forget to eat.

@Katsudon @Ghosty I finally got the Moto G7. Played with it for a week to check that all the hardware worked properly. Then I nuked Android and replaced it with Lineage. The Lineage 16.0 build for this device didn't play well with OpenGApps. I had to reflash the device and I got it working with MindTheGapps. Totally worth it. Best mobile experience I've had. Thanks guys, once more, for suggesting good devices and being so helpful.

@Ghosty @redandgreen14 I bought a TP Link Archer C60 for my mom and flashing OpenWrt on it was as easy as uploading the OW image through the stock firmware web UI. Now it's up and running and it works very well. Thanks, @Ghosty, for suggesting this router. @redandgreen14. This router could be an option for you if you want to switch to OpenWrt.

@redandgreen14 Looks like what I'd need for mom's place. I'll get one and see how it works. Thanks.

@Ghosty @redandgreen14 So I've been thinking of doing sth similar with my mom's place network. Any suggestions on inexpensive and good TP-Link routers? 🙂

@redandgreen14 @Ghosthy It was as easy as loading the OpenWrt image through the stock firmware web UI. It went smoothly. Setting OpenWrt up is easy and there are a lot of tutorials and information on OpenWrt's webpage and forum. I've already done it with this Linksys router and with an EdgeRouter X, and I think anyone with some basic understanding of networking can make it work with a compatible device. I totally recommend it. :)

Thanks for suggesting the Linksys WRT line, @Ghosty! Got this little used WRT AC1200 for 50 bucks, replaced the stock firmware with OpenWrt and it's been awesome! I love this instance and the people who make it great! 💪🏻👍🏻
