Yeah, they got cloudflare running on their domain so even a bridge won’t help for that specific site. Depending on what you are using it for you can find alternatives with more RSS friendly sites. RSS-Bridge can track music releases through apple music even if you don’t use apple music. I am pretty sure you can find alternative sites for other types of media releases.

I find this the best place to find RSS feeds that just work with out bridges:

RSS List

Depends what your into. Hackernews is always a good feed to add, ars technica, your local news station, your local news paper, I got an rss-bridge running that posts to my feed when apps update with their change log, when a project on github has a news release, when one of my favorite artists releases music on apple music. Institute for the Study of War is also a decent unique feed if you want to read up on strictly tactical updates on ongoing conflicts.

Honestly, thats the beauty of RSS feeds. They are everywhere, I got feeds aggregating memes, and webcomics. You can run a bridge that prowls instagram using your account and generate a post in your feed when your friend posts something. Literally RSS is all about turning the internet you use into your own personal feed without the BS algorithms crammed down your throat. Someone creates a post, and your feed gets sorted by time posted. Easy as that.

I use Lemmy really for the social interaction. Something which RSS doesn’t have.

You basically just described what an RSS feed is. Get a client (I use readkit) and start adding websites to your feed. If you are feeling up to it. self hosting freshRSS and having it sync your feeds to your client is also an option.

hackernews its like reddit but the user submitted links are tech and research of hardware heavy. A good portion of my RSS feed is from blogs that posts were submitted to there.

That is the bummer, it’s all going to cost carbon and it’s all going to happen regardless if we ban people owning a second house. As long as the population keeps increasing, the demand for more new houses will naturally increase regardless of what we do to curb demand for second houses.

So I see it as a necessary evil. One in which I am of the opinion that that if we are going to screw with the environment and increase our footprint on nature then lets make it worth it.

For example, lets demolish more woodland but instead of single family housing, lets build a 30 story condominium with the first 2 levels being a shopping center, the next 3 being rentable office space, 20 levels for condominiums, and the last 5 being for entertainment, restaurants, and leisure. Hell create sub basement levels for parking. Is the construction bigger than building a house in the woods? sure. But in the long run by building vertically the overall footprint is much less than building a sub division, strip mall, individual restaurants, and a business zone.

I would much rather devote efforts into making that a reality than policing people from getting a second house. Hell, really try to market it to that demographic just so that we can combat the NIMBY attitude people have to vertical urban development and we will probably have more net good to the climate compared to anything else we do in urban development.

Counterpoint, I don’t mind people owning a second home on the basis of climate change. There are so many other bigger fish to fry in that realm rather than wasting resources limiting a small group of people with the means of affording a second home. I would much rather people with the means of owning a second home having to pledge to improve the carbon footprint of the second home through things like adding solar panels, smart landscaping, etc. That way when the house is eventually let go its more sustainable and environmentally friendly then when it started.

Not as impossible sounding. I mean I would never attempt it but you might be able to get away with it using a stencil, solder paste and one of those fancy toaster ovens with a broil setting. ROI would suck since you are probably gonna fail the first couple of times.
