We need an RSS feed for saved posts, but the Devs seem to think it would be a privacy issue. Now idk what kinda Fucked up porn They’re saving on Lemmy but I just want to read the articles I save on here in my RSS reader.

How are you selecting feeds to download? If you use a cloud/self hosted RSS service you can get a feed of articles you star. From there you can use a desktop feed reader to download the starred feed to your kindle:

1. Calibre can download news articles as .epub files, and supports transferring them to the kindle via USB. It can extract webpage text from non full-content feeds in a customizable way with Python.

2. KOreader’s RSS feature stores feed items as .epub files as well, but it’s not as customizable. It does support full text extraction, but you don’t get any options to customize the output as far as I can tell.

I’ve heard good things about the MNT pocket reform.

I just put DSL2024 on mine a few months ago, it works okay lol. Can’t do much more than use the terminal or edit text but it’s pretty fun to use the old hardware again. My only complaint is the zero key sticks.

Was, he’s gone balls deep on nostr now.

It does! I haven’t configured mine yet but I use Feedme’s mobilizer to do the same thing at the moment.

It usually is with wine lol

You need calibre with the De-DRM extension and an old version of the kindle desktop app.

It should! As long as you can get it to the bios screen you should be able to get it to boot a live USB. I actually resurrected my EeePC1005 two weeks ago with DamnSmallLinux2024.

So let me see if I get this straight, We don’t get RSS feeds for our saved posts because the developer of a federated service that was created in response to increased centralization and lockdown of user’s content in other platforms doesn’t see the need for it?

Ope, didn’t mean to comment on this one, sorry.

EDIT: Alright WTH, Sync is playing silly buggers with my comment display.

Cobalt.tools worked flawlessly!

EDIT: Ope, thought you were asking lol. Cobalt.tools rocks!

I’m just curious as to how you think these are insurmountable problems while every instance in existence today is already managing to navigate these issues.

The only thing the author is suggesting is to pool the resources that are going to waste copying media posts around the fediverse into a new backend (that means it’s not directly user accessible and presumably subject to the same restrictions as posts right now) so that the cost of media hosting is more distributed between all the fediverse instances instead of having the big ones hogging all the bandwidth of the small ones with memes because some users decided to subscribe to a community on say Lemmy.world.

Did you even read the article? It’s not like all the users just get unrestricted access to storage to treat like a google drive, this is a backend thing. This guy is trying to find a solution to all the wasted bandwidth and storage space from sending copies to all the other instances they’re federated with, which is a legimate issue that the instance admins are already dealing with on a daily basis. This will let them pool resources to help lower costs for smaller instances.

As to the CSAM thing I can only imagine it would be easier for one instance to purge fifty images/restore from a backup and everyone else just have to redo their thumbnails as opposed to all the instances having to purge and restore but that’s just me.

Also the inspectors should have arrest powers

Oh goody

They also went blind

“I call it… The MicroRealm!”

Oh that series is so much fun! I need to read those books again. Another good one is Scott Meyer’s Magic 2.0 series. Basically a random dude finds the rules.ini file for the universe hiding out on the internet and ends up using it to travel back back to Arthurian England to live openly as a Wizard. Except he’s not the first one with that idea…
