My Old method was using Obsidian + MoRSS featured in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Y1Ho_RrF_9I/v-deo.html This method was developed from a UA-cam 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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 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!
I have been struggling with UA-cam 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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Like using Bing 😂🤣 Actually, for searching video's it had a cool feature where you could preview it in the search results bu hovering. They seemed to have taken that out a while ago, so now Bing officially sucks as a search engine 😄
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.
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.
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 UA-cam 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.
Did anyone get the UA-cam-Feed to work displaying the description? I get the embedded video, but the descriptions are missing... I cloned all the directive configs from github...
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 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 :)
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.
@ 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).
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 👍
@ChrisTitusTech, Cool i was able to setUp both docker servers, can i ask there is a website that you can import, top 10 RSS feeds or something similar ?
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?
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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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 use ad blocker and ONLY add exceptions for sites that are useful and mostly small sites such as yours unless they are greedy with the ads.. have every major site ad blocked and sites that are greedy with the ads I would other wise unblock.. but according to LTT I am a pirate so guess I sail the high seas LOL
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?
if more and more people use adblockers, how would the sites get funding, is there any other way? subscriptions nah, people would hate it more than free content with ads, ofc I don't want big companies to earn from ads, but there are a lot of small companies which needs some funding, to not shutdown
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!
No, we should go back in time. I would much rather listen to dialup tones and wait 12 days to download one video, than deal with constant surveillance and advertisements.
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.
3:36 lets change world so loading ad not give money only click (lets teach advertisers they spend for mostly nothing) and even better only if click and buy. who is actually click ads? idea is you to click and buy. so ad is lying?
TBH i didn't understand a thing about how can i install FreshRss using docker as a noob so i guess this video is not about noobies at all it would be great if you can tell about how we can actually install for the noobs specifically
i used rs feeds in the 2000s but forgot about them. now use an rss feed but my browser which is brave is not compatible what can i do can import the feeds to another rss feed?
I tried all the aggregators out there, and I settled on Selfoss. Additionally, I use Huginn to manage my youtube rss feeds, so that I can get video duration in my feed from the api
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 UA-cam channels
My Old method was using Obsidian + MoRSS featured in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Y1Ho_RrF_9I/v-deo.html

@ζ been using vivaldi at home and work for a couple month and it's by far the best browsing experience I've had.
@Chris Titus Tech What extension addon do you use to get RSS url? ty
Dude! I never expected to see my FreshRSS theme featured in one of you videos! Even if its only a small appearance lol, hope you liked it! :P
Nice theme 👍
Thx bro, only because of your theme I tried FreshRSS for the first time. Before I was mainly discouraged from the really old looking default theme.
How can I use your theme? It looks really sleek
@@abidhasan-tech just go to display settings -> themes -> select Nord theme
I just set up FreshRSS because of how good your theme looks. I'm also your 500th subscriber!

I often use RSS but sometimes I get a feeling of being overwhelmed by all the stuff in the feeds.
just as in almost all cases, the problem is with the human, not with the app
I have the same with productivity apps lol
As Chris showed in the video, you can limit the number of articlaes in the feed that it downloads - he chose 10.
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!

can you make a video guide how we can setup everything that you show in this video?
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.

There's a firefox addon called Feedbro and the Feeds - rss client for linux. Pretty much what you'd need to have your own rss ecosystem.
Like using Bing 😂🤣
Actually, for searching video's it had a cool feature where you could preview it in the search results bu hovering. They seemed to have taken that out a while ago, so now Bing officially sucks as a search engine 😄
Chris got a good zinger in on Bing 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!
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
No, we should go back in time. I would much rather listen to dialup tones and wait 12 days to download one video, than deal with constant surveillance and advertisements.
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.
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.
3:36 lets change world so loading ad not give money only click (lets teach advertisers they spend for mostly nothing) and even better only if click and buy.
who is actually click ads? idea is you to click and buy. so ad is lying?
i used to use googles RSS reader. then i stopped reading 90% of articles anyway. other things to do! :)
Elinks. The way to browse Archwiki during installation and fail critically.
Duckduckgo is bing.
TBH i didn't understand a thing about how can i install FreshRss using docker as a noob so i guess this video is not about noobies at all it would be great if you can tell about how we can actually install for the noobs specifically
i used rs feeds in the 2000s but forgot about them. now use an rss feed but my browser which is brave is not compatible what can i do can import the feeds to another rss feed?
Remember me of RSSOwl; back in days when it use to be kinda good, now its cluttered and slow af , perf are near bad
I tried all the aggregators out there, and I settled on Selfoss. Additionally, I use Huginn to manage my youtube rss feeds, so that I can get video duration in my feed from the api
Oh I'll have to try it out.
@@ChrisTitusTech please make sure to make a video of it too (if you found it useful of course). Thanks.
Liferea is a good RSS feed reader program.

"it's like when you use bing now..." bing still exists? I gueess as long as idiots exist then...

I click on ads just to cost people money... is that cruel? 😂😂😂
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 UA-cam channels
thanks for mentioning this, i was wondering about it
"It's like if you used bing now" aged like the finest milk I've ever seen
I've wrote my own extension to hide every ad, and it worked really well so far :D
Can I host FreshRSS in the free tier of google cloud ? Will try soooon!
I just removed my freshrss container a month ago now I gotta try this to see how much better it can be
Is there an iPhone / Android rss app you would recommend?

Nice bing insult. I renamed them zing for nuh zing to offer.
