For RSS (because I really like only getting content I chose - just like happens here on Mastodon), I use @feedbin. It's open source and theoretically self-hostable but I'm really happy with their hosted service.

This is your regular reminder that open source, self-hosting tools are great AND you don't actually have to host them yourself most of the time! Plenty of great companies offer these tools as a paid-for service - exactly like the subscriptions you have on those other platforms, except more ethical.

Someone I was chatting with mentioned #Forth language and there's actually a project to build and maintain a minimal OS and tools to run on a scavenged Z80 (and now they also support 6502, 8086, and 6809 CPUs) for after civilization and the global supply chain collapse and we have no new CPUs for the foreseeable future.

It's a bit dystopian but hey, why not be prepared, right? There's a slightly larger 32-bit OS called Dusk OS to bootstrap and cross-build Collapse OS.
