I do want to ask though (and I should make this clear in a FAQ or something): the way I check RSS feeds uses adaptive scheduling, so I intentionally don’t check feeds of sites too rapidly. Then the summarization is based on the full article content but I never render that full content on the site (to avoid traffic hijacking concerns). Given that: what’s the concern?

EDIT: just checked in firefox, I don't see an issue. can you email me at me@dchuk.com and maybe I can debug with you?

(2) You can use a cache or be correct, pick one! I think of all the lame cache busting methods that are still in use because it took web browsers more than 15 years to get caching mostly right.

(3) If you'd been reading Rachel as opposed to asking why I pointed Rachel out your questions would be answered!

(4) Polling based systems come in two speeds: too fast and too slow and it is possible to be both at the same time

Edit:

Longer term, the approach might be - provide a separate RSS feed with full content but gated by a query parameter, then only give that URL to known-good consumers via email verification or patreon subscription, etc.

It would suck that people would have to pay more to consume content in their preferred way, but depending on your needs it might be a reasonable compromise.

With US techs harvesting people's data, subscription mess, cars that are no longer cars but computers on wheel, and now AI, even folks with bare minimal knowledge are self hosting things.

All you need is a second hand dirty cheap Dell SFF computer from eBay, install Proxmox on it and even if it comes with only 8GB, you can still spin up a few Proxmox LXC containers (small like Docker but far better).

People are going back to buying physical media, old model of things, wired headphones is all time high.

MP3 players are all time high, no phone, no subscription, just music.

90s, early 2000s is so back and is a good thing, people themselves are putting a hard break on technology.
