Hi,
So this used to be a problem before and I "solved it" by reducing the Number of requests in <strong>QuiteRSS</strong> down to 2.
But considering I had 1000s of channels that I keep track of, it became painfully slow. But it did "solve" the problem. So I stuck with it.
But now not even than works.
I have not yet tried reducing it to 1 since I'm trying to measure the cooldown time until YouTube resets the IP bot ban.
Basically I feel like YouTube seems to be slowly killing RSS(accidentally maybe?) and I'm seriously losing my mind since RSS is the only surefire way I know of, to "subscribe" to and keep track of channels I truly care about.
I know alternatives like Invidious RSS exists. But they're often unreliable when the instance goes down and I have to manually change the feeds for 1000s of channels in my QuiteRSS reader.
Please help me with any alternatives and confirm if you're also experiencing the same issue.
With extreme fear and concern,
Thanks.
Non ho aperto QuiteRSS per 1 settimana e mi accorgo di una crisi di governo.
Ma in italia siamo mai arrivati a 5 anni di mandato? A sto punto conviene cambiare la costituzione e mettere 1 anno ^(/s)
Ich bin altmodisch und nutze ein Desktop-Programm: QuiteRSS!
Ursprünglich habe ich FeedReader genutzt, aber der ist...nicht ganz so gut.
Meine Lieblingsfeeds die ich (je nach Interesse an Tech/Gaming) empfehle:
- Subreddits: Games/Gamers/TrueGaming/PCGaming
- Podcasts: StayForever/Dad & Sons Podcast
- Tech-News: Heise/Golem
> This one ? https://quiterss.org/
Thanks! I think this one will do! (Edit: seems very crashy though, at least on GNU. Will keep it for now but more suggestions welcome)

I ruled out Java-based ones, because they require the additional step of install JRE, and for Windows users that's going to be Oracle's implementation and not OpenJDK. I didn't want to encourage the installation of any other nonfree program other that what they are already using (Windows or OS X).
Not a desktop reader but BazQux Reader (I'm developer) does not mark items as read after 30 days (but it keeps not more than 500 last items per feed so it may not work for high volume feeds).
And I'm not sure that desktop feed reader will work for your case at all. RSS feeds usually contain last 15-20 articles. So if you don't open desktop reader for months and more than 20 articles were published during this time you will miss them. So you need desktop reader app to be running even if you don't read in it.
AFAIK there are no modern looking feed reader apps for Windows 10 that are actively developed. RSSOwl has new fork that is more or less actively developed and QuiteRSS has some new releases. But both apps aren't modern looking at all.
I would like to have a feed that just gives me the latest #1 run for the games I'm subscribed to, for instance. Perhaps another feed that just monitors one particular game or one particular runner's output. I'd also like to be able to subscribe to certain forum threads in this manner, but that's not as important.
It would just be handier for me generally to use RSS, because I already have an RSS reader filled with feeds. I know the tech is considered a bit archaic at this point, but I still find it really useful/convenient; I can check my feed reader to see if any new updates are live, rather than manually going site-to-site to check.
Irrelevant to the question, but if you use RSS, I highly recommend the Firefox add-on Feedbro. I ditched my desktop application (QuiteRSS) in favour of it.
So I should google before posting here... RE: my earlier post about a good podcatcher, I found this little app (quite rss) that looks to be what I'm looking for. It's got an app for mac and is a simple way to track podcasts through RSS.
> I just set up a Google News alert and then made an RSS feed from that
Don't do it like this, NO GOOGLE. Use a RSS client like quiteRSS and subscribe these feeds
For Google Search, there's this extension to block results by domain, so if you for example want to block all results that come from Facebook, then you could do it with that.
If you just want to remove certain keywords from a single search, then Google (and many other web search engines) allow you to do that with a minus.
So, if you search for "jaguar" and don't want results that contain the keyword "car", then you can search for "jaguar -car" instead to filter out any results which contain the keyword "car".
As for Google News, you should probably use an RSS reader for that.
There are a few RSS readers that are designed as a Firefox extension, for example NewsFox, or you could use a standalone RSS reader.
Personal recommendation for such a standalone reader is QuiteRSS, which has extremely good filtering control, but other RSS readers might also do it for you...
