FreshRSS

Last night I was banging my head against the wall trying to get a cron job for FreshRSS running. I have no idea what I was doing wrong. I should have just quit right away. I wasted so much time. This morning I tried again and bingo, I got it working right away. Everything always seems to work better after you sleep on it.

Yes I still live in my RSS reader. There are so many good RSS feed readers nowadays. The best ones tend to have a subscription fee. I was a subscriber for many years, but about a year ago I was feeling subscription overload, so I started hosting my own with FreshRSS on my home server.

I hate the UI of all of the self hosted RSS feed readers. Luckily my favorite reader app Reeder works with FreshRSS, so I don’t have to deal with the crappy UI.

Now I’m running a FreshRSS instance on my home server and one on my remote server. I’m trying to decide which is better. I have a feeling the remote server might be more reliable because it’s not running in my house and I won’t be constantly messing with it.
