Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

i don't get why people use web services for rss, it can be done completely clientside, that's.. kind of the whole point of rss..
You could want to have multiple clients in sync.
Also a web service could be fetching 24/7 and perform classification algorithms before serving to the client that will only connect a few times a day.
No, it isn't the whole point. The point is to curate our own news. And a separate question is how to browse the results. If you use two devices, you might want a server side solution. Maybe. There are many reasonable setups.
To keep it synchronized between devices
In my case (not necessarily your case, of course), the cheapest selling-point has become that I already have a browser open for almost everything else, so that's one less thing to install and check in on. But it's also easier to keep up to date reading when individual computers have problems and usually has a nicer API for scripting, if you need that sort of thing.
Try a good one such as Inoreader or NewsBlur, you'll never look back
