For my Thinkpad x200s with:
- Antix 22 x86 Linux
- Core 2 Duo L9400
- 2gb RAM
- 128gb SSD. What’s your best recommendation RSS reader for this specs?
I want to jockely answer: curl but there are seriously good cli rss readers out there:
Newsboat are dope enough for my need right now. For nom rss, I think matcha looks similar but more polish and interestingly, Obsidian compatible…
I really like matcha. It is just a little go app (17MB) that is configured with a config file. You can use it to display in-terminal or, what you are meant to do, run it and it generates a markdown file as a “digest” of the feeds you configure, easy to trigger it manually or you can set up a cron job/systemd timer to do it on a schedule.
As long as I have Thunderbird already opened and using resources for reading mail, I decided I might as well use it for RSS too instead of opening another application.
Works for me, YMMV.
Newsboat integrates RSS and Youtube (or piped.kavin.rocks which is privacy front for Youtube). It launches your Youtube videos in your video player of choice. I bet MPV is the most lightweight video player.
I’ve used Newsboat for 3 years and after hard hassle during the first days it has given me easily the best ad-free news and Youtube-experience.
Newsboat RSS reader are what I’ve been looking for!
- already installed on AntiX,
- native installation without any requirements,
- very simple interface,
- useful keybinding out of the box,
- easy to configure.
Thank you for this gem! perfectly fit with my herbsluftWM interface…
I want L-booted my x200s, but the procedure is complex than others. I need to find someone who’s expert at soldering first, to not make any mistakes at the mobo. Still in searching, so it’s all matter of time…
Do you have any tips or guide for me to L-booted this piece of art?
Yarr, a very lightweight RSS reader. https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr
To deploy Yarr within a Docker container, you can use the Docker image provided by Wakeful-Cloud. https://github.com/Wakeful-Cloud/yarr
I have been running it on Raspberry Pi 3 for a couple of months without any issues, so I believe you won’t encounter any problems.
