freebsd-src VS rss-proxy

2023-06-26: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/ee0aa1ce12b3caea34477a31e9d2111a329e33b9 to main (tagged release/14.0.0).

It's not yet in FreeBSD base so if you want to test it you'll have to use the patch from the PR: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/881

Lots of great work by many people. But I bet this guy and his optimizations to the vfs and locking has made a significant impact.

and then there were deep concerns about the stability of same, so vfs.zfs.bclone_enabled = 0 was left in-place

Well there are some examples:

But yeah that pf.conf could be expanded allot, but there are many source to cobble a conf together. My conf is massive but 99.9% commented out so i have my "template" for nearly everything, from mail to web to blacklistd etc.

The BSD version is sort of very recent, for what it's worth -- FreeBSD imported a not fully functional version in 2017 and has seen more work on it in 2022: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commits/main/usr.bin/... , but the default version shipped is still GNU diff3: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=diff3&apropos=0&se... .

Thank you for that. I haven't tried https://rssproxy.migor.org/ either but I'll definitely add it to my list. Other similar services I'm aware of include:

I have been using https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxy which has been pretty good so far for the websites that I want to monitor that don't have an RSS feed.

I'm using it every day, that's what happens to it. Many sites provide their own feeds and those which don't can often be fed to something like rss-proxy [1] which will create a feed (or several feeds) based on an XPath query [2]. This can be self-hosted so you don't have to inform external entities about your feeding behaviour.

[2] e.g. here's how to get Göteborgs Posten (a Swedish newspaper which ditched its feed some time ago) in an RSS feed reader (Atom is also supported through ...&o=Atom) - note that this is an example.org domain so the link does not work as is - https://rssproxy.example.org/api/feed?url=https://gp.se&pCon...

Surprisingly I haven't immediately found software which has received more attention that rss-proxy (1300 Github stars). I've installed the program, but it fails to detect some or all desired elements on specific websites and there's no way to adjust from what I can see. Politepol fails to build on my system and to my knowledge doesn't support Javascript (on websites) when self-hosting.

It might be possible to setup an RSS proxy https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxyhttps://rssproxy-v1.migor.org/ <- might work outright:
