What are your favorite RSS feeds?


I saw safety1st's comment [1] with a list of favorite news sources, blogs, and rss feeds.

After the two recent posts [2][3] with everyone sharing their blogs, I'm curious what else ya'll are following - rss feeds, newsletters, etc.

I would love to see some big rollup feeds of tech blogs like the ones in the lists you link above.

I am using Superfeedr toingest RSS/Atom feeds into YOShInOn, my smart RSS reader, which costs 10ยข per feed per month, I am ingesting upwards of 2000 articles a day with a $8/month bill. I'd like to subscribe to 2000 small blogs that publish an article every week or month but that's not affordable even with bulk discounts and even if I stood up another ingestion system it would ridiculous to poll all those blogs 100 times for every article I get, and if more people started doing what I do, the load on those blogs would get unreasonable.

There used to be "Planet" software that would aggregate RSS feeds but the site for the software is dead although there are a few surviving planets like

https://planet.postgresql.org/

I wish we had more of them.

I have a long list, so I'll choose a few personal favorites that may be of interest to HN readers:

https://nicole.express/feed.xml (tinkering with old games and game hardware)

https://shumplations.com/feed (translations of Japanese game developer interviews)

https://www.loc.gov/collections/global-legal-monitor/?fo=rss (summaries of legal news from around the world)

https://reason.com/people/josh-blackman/feed (legal analysis and commentary from Josh Blackman)

https://yukinu.com/feed/atom.xml (charming small web site with links to interesting sites, tech experiments, and looks at old tech)

https://feed.tedium.co (well-researched essays on a variety of topics)

https://blog.sakugabooru.com/feed (detailed essays on the anime industry and production)

htpps://perishablepress.com/feed/atom (personal website of WordPress developer Jeff Starr)

https://ai.mee.nu/feed/atom (daily tech news with strong opinions)

https://www.washingtontimes.com/rss/authors/stephen-dinan (one of the best reporters on immigration law/border issues)

https://liliputing.com/feed (news about mini PCs and mobile devices)

https://worldofmatthew.com/index.xml (essays on digital ownership and random musings)

I would also humbly recommend my own writing project, link in my profile if you're interested

I also recommend looking at Morss.it (https://morss.it/) if there is a site you want to subscribe to without a feed. It generally works very well (RSS Bridge and RSS Hub serve the same purpose if you want to self-host).
