My Old method was using Obsidian + MoRSS featured in this video: ruclips.net/video/Y1Ho_RrF_9I/видео.html This method was developed from a RUclips comment, So THANK YOU all for the suggestions I get in the comments!
Did you manage, or even try, to replicate Google News with it? When i add google news RSS feeds, it only lists Headlines with links to the Website. I'd like to have a "Google News" clone, but i don't know how i would achieve that.
Chris I watch your channel that is why I use Linux as my main system. But I play a game and I use Adobe sometimes, so I also have a win10 system. But here is my problem. I tried to eliminate or to stop all the Windows crap that goes all the time. Even the virus and the malware check plus even though I disable multiple places and it is never connected to the internet is still wants to upgrade. I wonder is there anyway that I could get rid of basically everything that I do not need to play games for when the system is never connected to the net, so I do not need it update or to check for viruses and all the other things it does in the background and spins my hard drive, uses my memory up while I am trying to play.
I didn't know you had ads on your website since I already block all ads. I'll enable them for you because creators like that actually help the community and needs the revenue in order to keep making these awesome videos!
I enabled ads on his website, as well as a number of others. I don't mind some ads on sites I use frequently. What I don't like is ads all over the page that make it take 10 seconds to load a webpage, that's why I keep Adblock on for most sites
Yeah, the only ads acceptable are the ones on the side. The ones that don't distract you while you're reading. Like the one he has on the side. Affiliate links are the only other thing, as long as it's an useful product/service and they themselves swear by it. I don't get why people don't get that. Ads everywhere makes us just blanket block everything. Or ignore, the way we ignore SMS and email marketing.
The most based channel I've seen so far... I just love how you use adblockers even for your own site, and your users could potentially do the same, but you stay true to your spirit instead of intentionally removing the adblocker when filming and saying its bad I absolutely agree, and I found this video pretty information Love this channel, keep posting!
Thanks for this. I always wanted to use RSS but it's so difficult to find the feed link. But you showed the browser plugin which works pretty well. So after a quick creation of the freshrss docker plus full+text+rss docker I'm up and running. I'm already enjoying it!
Been debating setting up an RSS container in my docker setup, but couldn't decide what to go with. This inspired me to finally go and do it, thank you, very timely
This is like pron for me. My brain constantly thinks about how to make things better, faster, time-saving. Thank you Chris for your über helpful content!
Reminds me of years ago I would just add things to my Google Reader and open that everyday to 'browse the web'. So sad when it went away. This video makes me want to setup a copy of the system you have, looks great!
There's a Google app. I believe it's just called Google with a G logo. There's also Google news, another app. And just below the Google search, there's a lot of articles too. All of these are based on what you usually search. Like, I'm into the stock market, tech etc and I get a lot of those articles. I think you have to enable it on chrome. The other 2 are phone apps. So, I don't know about their PC counterparts.
RSS must be enjoying a renaissance. This is the forth upload i have seen in the last two weeks explaining it almost as if it's a new thing! Reminds me to check my Old Reader and Feedly accounts.
There should be some extension to a browser to hide unwanted websites from the search results. And this "unwanted" scoring should be coming either from you or from some community you trust to. So if some website full of nothing but ads will get proper amount of F-grades, it will be filtered out.
Yeah, there was the 'Circle of trust' but I believe that was more for detecting fraudulent sites and sites with malware. There are some really lame sites that either pay Google a lot or somehow game Google's search algorithms that keep coming up.
For the ads part of this video I followed the YT video from Networkchuck for configuring Adguard DNSs on a server and boy i'm glad i set it up... No more ads for the most part of the browsing on my home on accross all devices... I got rid of Google Ads on a local TV Web that got really annoying.
I've tried RSS in the past, but it was always such a hassle just to grab the feeds, not to mention the lack of actual content in most of them. Sooo it became somewhat useless for me and I just had an easier time going to the websites on occasion and reading directly from there. Looks like after this video though, I'm going to need to revisit this. I already have a personal server I can run the services on, so just gotta spin them up and get going. Thanks so much for sharing this knowledge!
So don't swipe left on my home screen to view my feed from Google? LOL Embarrassingly I thought RSS was simply used to view a list of site content - I had no clue it was this extensible! Thanks! Your content just keeps getting better
I've found the Google feed to be quite good tho. It's quite intelligent as well. The issue with the RSS feed maybe we subscribe to a whole lot of sites and then all those articles could get overwhelming.
Kinda seems complicated and went a bit over my head. But what he's trying to say is having a RSS feed. I'm sure I've seen easier apps to do so. So, it's basically like subscribing to a RUclipsr so that you get all their videos in your feed. But in this case, you can get articles of all the websites you usually trust and check in one place. Like, he's a tech RUclipsrs. So, he can follow 10-15 trusted tech websites and scroll through all the news and updates in the tech world. You can do the same for whatever you're into.
@@danlightened I don't even 'get' RSS; I activated one once by accident, and my browser looked like a spammed email box. Deactivated that and never did RSS again. Just no interest or use for it.
@@markh.6687 The term doesn't matter. It's pretty much like the example I gave. If that's something seems useful to me, you can use certain apps for it that aren't as complicated as this. I don't use it myself currently but 'Feedly' is real popular RSS feed app.
Nice Docker RSS setup - I use GrazeRSS on my Android phone (it integrates with Newsblur) - I love quickly swiping articles to keep then clearing the rest. Also a big fan of Watchtower for Docker BTW 👍
Love your work. Which is why I intentionally have a bad script run on my every windows install to automate visiting websites like yours and download utilities through browser instead of apis, Once the utilities are fetched UBO becomes active as I won't visit until next windows install. I know it's very little contribution from me but normally most find it convenient to have ubo ON from the get go but it robs from creators like you.
Very nice video. A very long time ago I used to use newsbeuter, but I lost the config file and never bothered to set it up again.... I've been such wanting to get into RSS again, but with a web app. This looks great. Feature wise newsbeuter (now newsboat?) was awesome. The Killswitch feature is great; it allows you to filter out articles by author and a bunch of other criteria.
I have been struggling with RUclips subscriptions for a while. I have quite a lot of them and cannot find a way to somehow get them showing to me like I want to and without missing stuff I wouldn't want to miss. Lately I have been playing around with a chrome extension that makes me categorize the subscriptions and this works quite alright, but not amazing. RSS has actually not been on my mind for ages and this video has triggered me to look into managing my YT through RSS. Thanks!
I am that seemly rare breed of people who do not have adblock. Never used one. I'm a web developer and I understand that servers and power cost. So I always went to a rather simple rule: - if the website has decent amount of ads and decently unobtrusive, I continue using it. Like Chris said, no ads in the middle of the article, though at times I can tolerate that. Video ads, especially those that start automatically annoy me the most - if not, I'm simply not using the website. To this day I can't remember of anything truly valuable being uniquely found on an ad-ridden website. I guess the exception is RUclips nowadays, but for that I do have YT Premium and had so for several years. I wouldn't even knew how bad it got if not for the backlash of people complaining about it. But I do use RUclips a lot and videos take significantly more than static websites to host and stream so I never had problem paying for that and not see ads. I think this should be the normal for all websites
I block ads and trackers (AdBlockPlus and Electronic Freedom Foundation's Privacy Badger). I never had screaming-fast processors, and all the ads and junk slowed my systems to a crawl. And I still see web pages that are a giant cluster of ads all over, ads in the middle of articles (Thanks, Yahoo!), links in articles to other nonsense, etc.
I just have installed the freshRSS and five filters on a raspberry pi that I already had as a media center. Thanks, I will give it a try and start reading news / web content using RSS :)
Hello Cris, Thanks for all videos you do! You are great! I'd like to ask you to share with us what equipment do you use for the RSS feed(is it a rack server that you run 24/7) and what equipment you use to record these videos? (the quality of the videos is more than enough!)
I don't mind ads. As long as the ad is relevant to the content I am reading. Secondly, the ads must never interfere with the content. Unfortunately, like 95% website do exactly that, so I block everyone.
My Issue with "web browsers" is their added features, or lack there of. One of the most robust and indispensable features I have not found on any other than Edge is, full page continuous translation. Which I find so useful when watching live streams with active chat in other language(s). On that note, as least we're not using Gopher to browse the internet any more, are we?
@@jasbrar9873 As with any browser you can "translate page" and it will do just that. Translate the whole page as currently shown and stop once complete. Where-as Microsoft translation will continue translating until you disable it. So as you scroll the page or live chat keeps updating, it continues to translate. It can translate all known languages to your chosen language. That means live chat could be several people chatting in several different languages and it will translate them for you. Microsoft translation uses this for conversational translations, used by teachers with students and parents.
I only use the web for searching answers to any problem i face. Having said that.. Google is getting worse by the day.. There are only 5 pages to any google search, not 1 billion search results.. The last 999999995 pages in a Google search is just repeating what already have been shown
The web is so Bloated with ads, it's hard to read articles these days. Some sites force sign-up to get access to even read it. Terrible. Your site is a breeze, ty.
I've used Feedly since Google Reader died and paid for it for maybe half that time. FreshRSS never even crossed my radar until the other day when I saw an article on running it on a Raspberry Pi. I'm definitely going to set it up and kill my Feedly subscription.
Hey Chris, Did you know that the Thunderbird mail client has an RSS reader? Easiest way to get into RSS feeds Veronica Explains had a great video with how to also get RSS feeds of RUclips channels
I think that the centralized networks made it easier for non-tech or limited-tech types to do RSS and other neat things. But one day I'm going to set up a web page someplace just to annoy the Interwebz.
Hey Chris, Great idea. I’m not ready to implement that kind of solution yet. I just got taskwarrior rocking on my system and I love it. I’ve also got more work to do on vimwiki. Anyway, I’ll be back to this video when I’m at that point. I do like the idea though my version will probably be different. 😂😂. Take care and have fun. ❤
1:15 Oh my.. For the best office chair one. A couple of months ago I watched a review of an office chair on here on youtube because I never heard of the brand and the person said its the most popular and ever since I get pretty much only links to that brand.
@ 11:26 at least CTT's segues are less cheesy than LTT's. That aside I went with Feedly when Google Reader was abandoned, and mainly wanted something online that aggregated while keeping track of what was read/unread regardless of whether I accessed it via the website or a client app. I know there will be better options but it is enough to skim read a summary of each article to know if I want to click through to the real site for a subset. That said I am waiting for the new design of Thunderbird to start having local offline archives of mail and news, and I will likely check out some RSS applications meantime (for Ubuntu).
To help the ignorant, it would be nice to have a playlist of how to get to where this video is today. For instance, #1 Build a VM, #2, Use Docker, #3 Install FreshRSS, #4, #5... I love your suggestions, but finding the first thing first can be dauting for limited ITers.
between you and network chuck, i think you guys are solving my issues with google, in addition to the hosting your own search engine from network chuck and this rss feed video of yours, are there any good suggestions for assistant for search and simple tasks that are not alexa,google,siri ? Have you done a video on assistant before?
I used to use RSS back in the Google Reader days. I remember it was really frustrating when you came across a site that actually didn't have a feed, so I still had to open multiple bookmarks just to check the daily feed. I don't suppose modern science has an answer for that?
As someone who used to use the Google discover thing from the homescreen, this looks like a really customizable version of that and looks super cool. Now I would like to know if I could do this on Android? And if so what apps are there?
Google with a G logo, Google news and in chrome below the Google search box. Although that may require turning the feature on. All of them would give you a scrollable feed with headlines and a clickable link. And they will be what you generally search. Like I read a lot about the stock market, so I get articles relating to it.
That's a fine 202x solution but i use a RSS reader that does the retrieving from my desktop AND have rules bases on regex to make sure i filter and get only the stuff i'm interested in . I dont see that flexibility from the video. The rss reader is Quiterss one of the very few allowing powerful rules .
I don't think search results that already give you the information you're looking for without having to open the destination website is healthy for the web as a whole, at all, because creators will just stop producing (or even maintaining) content as people won't generate revenue (traffic, ads, paid products/services offered etc). Google owns RUclips and should know better. But they'll keep doing what they're doing due to the abundance of content and we might end up stuck with a very outdated web if nothing changes that.
Well CHris I am a tester of all that works for OS from ubuntu, arch. freebsd, fedora and many more. Can I tell you your OS is so right as as I have replaced freebsd and set up your freshRSS on your OS is so far the best I have tried and now using. Thankyou.
thank you! i have also set it up this way and am very happy with it. Now my question: How to save a single entry/article as a PDF that is automatically formatted in a meaningful way?
Ever tried 'Pocket'? It's incredibly popular and also saves articles for offline reading; like if there's no network on the metro and we are bored and just wanna read something. There's also Evernote.
dude....I'm not worthy...I guess I'm too lazy...you've got all this good stuff and you seem to be constantly learning, good on you! ...I just never find the time to set my stuff up >.< but thank you for being the tech and even training God that you are!
I can't even tell you how often I feel that way. I think it maybe ADHD and/or depression for me, at least. Alternatively you can follow a few tech RUclipsrs who go through all that information to give you the good stuff. There's no limit to the info available. What's needed in good content curation.
Hi Chris. Nitin here from India. Love your videos. I watched your VLC video and I want to give MPC-HC a try but when downloading it gets me to github page with some weird file names. How to use those files. Is it available on your website?
This is the first time I am seeing content like this- and have had a revelation recently that has changed the way I interpret media. Could someone please direct me to a resource in which I can start to learn this for myself? I am having trouble navigating the terms as a noob, and would really appreciate learning how to learn this process without having any prior knowledge.
I couldn’t get this to work. It’s unclear: Do you need both containers setup and running? Or is 2nd container only to hit as a web site to view the RSS feed aggregation?
I'm to lazy to do all of that, I just use a ad-blocker and call it good and disable it for RUclips so I can support my creators and call it good. One of these days I might do that though.
I'd definitely be interested in seeing a video on how to install and configure something like this with docker. For searching the internet for Linux related things, what's the alternative to Google? You mostly showed how to aggregate content that you want to follow, but what if you just want to search something once?
I implemented this and was able to import the feeds into freshrss but what I can't find any documentation on is; how do i get the self hosted full-test-rss to refresh the rss feed without having to manually do it myself?
My Old method was using Obsidian + MoRSS featured in this video: ruclips.net/video/Y1Ho_RrF_9I/видео.html
This method was developed from a RUclips comment, So THANK YOU all for the suggestions I get in the comments!

Microsoft translation uses this for conversational translations, used by teachers with students and parents.

Holy moly it worked! Right click- translate.
The web in general was noticeably dumbed down by Copy Paste BS "today here tomorrow gone" websites, ads and ref links everywhere ...😵💫
I only use the web for searching answers to any problem i face.
Having said that..
Google is getting worse by the day..
There are only 5 pages to any google search, not 1 billion search results..
The last 999999995 pages in a Google search is just repeating what already have been shown
The web is so Bloated with ads, it's hard to read articles these days. Some sites force sign-up to get access to even read it. Terrible. Your site is a breeze, ty.
i'm gonna try fresh rss, thanks you for the tip
Docker is in my future for sure, at which point I'll come back to this video for sure, but I'm sticking with Fluent Reader for now.
I've used Feedly since Google Reader died and paid for it for maybe half that time. FreshRSS never even crossed my radar until the other day when I saw an article on running it on a Raspberry Pi. I'm definitely going to set it up and kill my Feedly subscription.
"It's like if you used bing now" aged like the finest milk I've ever seen
The name of "Jurassic Park" theme is the GTK3/4 theme IndigoMagic, i have it and its great. It goes well with GANT icon set.
Great, I was looking for an RSS reader, I'll check these out. Again, great content. However, I'm contemplating a rolling RSS ticker for nostalgia.
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing
Hey Chris, Did you know that the Thunderbird mail client has an RSS reader? Easiest way to get into RSS feeds
Veronica Explains had a great video with how to also get RSS feeds of RUclips channels
thanks for mentioning this, i was wondering about it
I kind of miss when everyone was just doing their own blogs with RSS support instead of what we have today with centralized social networks.
I think that the centralized networks made it easier for non-tech or limited-tech types to do RSS and other neat things. But one day I'm going to set up a web page someplace just to annoy the Interwebz.
Hey Chris,
Great idea. I’m not ready to implement that kind of solution yet. I just got taskwarrior rocking on my system and I love it. I’ve also got more work to do on vimwiki. Anyway, I’ll be back to this video when I’m at that point. I do like the idea though my version will probably be different. 😂😂. Take care and have fun. ❤
1:15 Oh my.. For the best office chair one. A couple of months ago I watched a review of an office chair on here on youtube because I never heard of the brand and the person said its the most popular and ever since I get pretty much only links to that brand.
So how does this help with that scenario of looking for a office chair?
It should limit the ads while giving better real search results...I think.
Really cool video. Thanks Chris.
@ 11:26 at least CTT's segues are less cheesy than LTT's.
That aside I went with Feedly when Google Reader was abandoned, and mainly wanted something online that aggregated while keeping track of what was read/unread regardless of whether I accessed it via the website or a client app.
I know there will be better options but it is enough to skim read a summary of each article to know if I want to click through to the real site for a subset.
That said I am waiting for the new design of Thunderbird to start having local offline archives of mail and news, and I will likely check out some RSS applications meantime (for Ubuntu).
To help the ignorant, it would be nice to have a playlist of how to get to where this video is today. For instance, #1 Build a VM, #2, Use Docker, #3 Install FreshRSS, #4, #5... I love your suggestions, but finding the first thing first can be dauting for limited ITers.
There was a popular app called feedly. It's still there but idk how it's currently doing.
between you and network chuck, i think you guys are solving my issues with google, in addition to the hosting your own search engine from network chuck and this rss feed video of yours, are there any good suggestions for assistant for search and simple tasks that are not alexa,google,siri ? Have you done a video on assistant before?
I used to use RSS back in the Google Reader days. I remember it was really frustrating when you came across a site that actually didn't have a feed, so I still had to open multiple bookmarks just to check the daily feed.
I don't suppose modern science has an answer for that?
I've been using feedbro, an extension for firefox and chrime for a while to do the same thing it has helped me to remain focused on what I need
Great info Chris!!
can you make a video guide how we can setup everything that you show in this video?
As someone who used to use the Google discover thing from the homescreen, this looks like a really customizable version of that and looks super cool. Now I would like to know if I could do this on Android? And if so what apps are there?
Google with a G logo, Google news and in chrome below the Google search box. Although that may require turning the feature on.
All of them would give you a scrollable feed with headlines and a clickable link. And they will be what you generally search. Like I read a lot about the stock market, so I get articles relating to it.
20 years ago I always ended up in a place I had no clue how I got there. But somehow it was always better than the thing I was looking for.
That's a fine 202x solution but i use a RSS reader that does the retrieving from my desktop AND have rules bases on regex to make sure i filter and get only the stuff i'm interested in . I dont see that flexibility from the video. The rss reader is Quiterss one of the very few allowing powerful rules .
Hi, I really want to try this and was curious about what hardware you run your server from? Would a Rasperri Pi suffice?
I just removed my freshrss container a month ago now I gotta try this to see how much better it can be
I don't think search results that already give you the information you're looking for without having to open the destination website is healthy for the web as a whole, at all, because creators will just stop producing (or even maintaining) content as people won't generate revenue (traffic, ads, paid products/services offered etc).
Google owns RUclips and should know better. But they'll keep doing what they're doing due to the abundance of content and we might end up stuck with a very outdated web if nothing changes that.
Well CHris I am a tester of all that works for OS from ubuntu, arch. freebsd, fedora and many more. Can I tell you your OS is so right as as I have replaced freebsd and set up your freshRSS on your OS is so far the best I have tried and now using. Thankyou.
thank you! i have also set it up this way and am very happy with it. Now my question: How to save a single entry/article as a PDF that is automatically formatted in a meaningful way?
ah... found it: it is done via the "share" feature
Ever tried 'Pocket'?
It's incredibly popular and also saves articles for offline reading; like if there's no network on the metro and we are bored and just wanna read something.
There's also Evernote.

Bing to Me: "I found some obscure porn for you!"
dude....I'm not worthy...I guess I'm too lazy...you've got all this good stuff and you seem to be constantly learning, good on you! ...I just never find the time to set my stuff up >.< but thank you for being the tech and even training God that you are!
If you already have Docker running, this takes like 20 minutes
@@ivanmalinovski7807 well did just get a Synology, so maybe I can now do docker on it and finally join the 21st century 😒😆
I can't even tell you how often I feel that way. I think it maybe ADHD and/or depression for me, at least.
Alternatively you can follow a few tech RUclipsrs who go through all that information to give you the good stuff.
There's no limit to the info available. What's needed in good content curation.
Hi Chris. Nitin here from India. Love your videos. I watched your VLC video and I want to give MPC-HC a try but when downloading it gets me to github page with some weird file names. How to use those files. Is it available on your website?
People are finding some issues with your walk-through page, including the video being missing. Are you going to fix it up?
Personally I would switch from TT-RSS to FreshRSS, but I feel FreshRss is missing filters capabilities; any thought on that ?
This is the first time I am seeing content like this- and have had a revelation recently that has changed the way I interpret media. Could someone please direct me to a resource in which I can start to learn this for myself? I am having trouble navigating the terms as a noob, and would really appreciate learning how to learn this process without having any prior knowledge.
What is the extension you are using to have that button that finds the RSS feed for a website?
Found it - "Get RSS Feed URL" is the name of the extension
Thunderbird is my RSS reader; has been for years.
I couldn’t get this to work. It’s unclear: Do you need both containers setup and running? Or is 2nd container only to hit as a web site to view the RSS feed aggregation?
I'm to lazy to do all of that, I just use a ad-blocker and call it good and disable it for RUclips so I can support my creators and call it good. One of these days I might do that though.
Can you make a tutorial video to show step-by-step how to install and use this RSS feed? So that maybe we can make a little money
I'd definitely be interested in seeing a video on how to install and configure something like this with docker.
For searching the internet for Linux related things, what's the alternative to Google? You mostly showed how to aggregate content that you want to follow, but what if you just want to search something once?
Well there is YaCy, which is p2p indexer/search engine, it's usable, but not as good as google. Though its good enough most of the time
Great work Thank you
I implemented this and was able to import the feeds into freshrss but what I can't find any documentation on is; how do i get the self hosted full-test-rss to refresh the rss feed without having to manually do it myself?
This is amazing!
