From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

+1 for newsboat. I wasnt looking for anything thats light but decided to try it out and its perfect for what I need
Newsboat are dope enough for my need right now. For nom rss, I think matcha looks similar but more polish and interestingly, Obsidian compatible..
I'm an avid Obsidian user but I didn't know about Matcha. It's really cool
I really like matcha. It is just a little go app (17MB) that is configured with a config file. You can use it to display in-terminal or, what you are meant to do, run it and it generates a markdown file as a "digest" of the feeds you configure, easy to trigger it manually or you can set up a cron job/systemd timer to do it on a schedule.
Great alternative! Mayber I'll used Matcha on my Thinkpad x260 once I try to messing with Obsidian. Thank you..
As long as I have Thunderbird already opened and using resources for reading mail, I decided I might as well use it for RSS too instead of opening another application.
Works for me, YMMV.
I used Thunderbird for my Thinkpad x260. But for x200s, TB is too power hungry..
Newsboat integrates RSS and Youtube (or piped.kavin.rocks which is privacy front for Youtube). It launches your Youtube videos in your video player of choice. I bet MPV is the most lightweight video player.
I've used Newsboat for 3 years and after hard hassle during the first days it has given me easily the best ad-free news and Youtube-experience.
Newsboat RSS reader are what I've been looking for!
- already installed on AntiX,
- native installation without any requirements,
- very simple interface,
- useful keybinding out of the box,
- easy to configure.
Thank you for this gem! perfectly fit with my herbsluftWM interface..
Have you Librebooted your X200s?
I want L-booted my x200s, but the procedure is complex than others. I need to find someone who's expert at soldering first, to not make any mistakes at the mobo. Still in searching, so it's all matter of time..
Do you have any tips or guide for me to L-booted this piece of art?
My tips comes from 3 librebooted X200s I've done (plus 1 fried due to user error by me):
- your most important tool is a heatgun with smallest possible nossle (or is it nozzle?)
- replace the stock WSON-8 nightmare chip with 8 mbit SOIC-8 chip
- take a photo of red dot on the WSON-8 before heating it, it shows you the right position/angle/side for the SOIC-8 chip too
- be aware that the whole bottom part (i.e. big area) of that nightmare WSON-8 stock chip is soldered
- do not compile libreboot with raspberry pi nor any sbc you're using (use real x86 computer)
- when flashing, use slower spispeed than you'd use with Coreboot (older machine)
- soldering the SOIC-8 chip do not require any skills nor good vision (super easy task)
With a good and especially small nossled heatgun you don't need to cover the motherboard at all. If you melt the plastc top cover of the WSON-8, it doesn't mind but not necessary either. Just don't melt the motherboard (small nossle!!!) and you're all good. Use tweezers rather than pliers, because force is bad and when the super-high quality soldering tin is melted completely, the WSON-8 chip comes off even if you just blow on it.
Flash the 8 mbit SOIC-8 before soldering it onto the motherboard.
I have no lots of soldering skills/experience, but it is fairly easy task if you just have the small nossled heatgun.
And oh yeah, some guides suggests to solder jumpwires onto the stock WSON-8 chip rather than heating it off, but that approach was way too hard for my soldering skills even with the smallest possible tip on my Pinecil soldering iron.
I never thought to get this detail answer from lemmy user. You are real dark magician! Thank you so much.. I just surprised when check my inbox and got this + easy to understand for inexperience like me in Libreboot process. The only info I have right now for L-booting x200s is this. But your tips here are clearly make L-booting x200s looks so easy and make it possible as fast as I can.
do not compile libreboot with raspberry pi nor any sbc you’re using (use real x86 computer)
Can you give me an example for what real x86 computer you used or other best option? I'm still confused for the keyword in search engine. Still.. thank you so much for this guidance from my soul. It looks like overreacted, but this little step stone is very important for me to start..
I'm glad my answer satisfied you :)
- Raspberry Pi = arm based
- any regular computer/laptop you own = x86 based
So any computer or laptop which you have will work just fine. No matter how old it it is.
You can also compile the rom with RasPi but for some unknown reason it caused me unworking rom even it didn't give aby errors. I contacted the developer and he said I should never compile anything with RasPi :D
Yesss.. satisfied than what I expected :D
So I still need Beaglebone Black, connect it with x86 based laptop, and run the script on x86 laptop right? As the standard requirement for L-booting I read in official guide..
Gladly, I don't have and don't wanna buy RasPi because the price is insane in my country (Indonesian), but other peripherals like BB are still on normal price. Have you any recommended using other alternatives than Beaglebone Black? :)
I'm sorry to ask many noob questions to you, because I just found the one who make this possibly happen as I'm starting losing hope for tinkering this, and don't wanna risk to brick that too cause my poor knowledge and preparing things. Still.. bless you sir..
Yarr, a very lightweight RSS reader. https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr
To deploy Yarr within a Docker container, you can use the Docker image provided by Wakeful-Cloud. https://github.com/Wakeful-Cloud/yarr
I have been running it on Raspberry Pi 3 for a couple of months without any issues, so I believe you won't encounter any problems.
I wouldn't count docker as light, not for core2duo processor.
You can run directly without docker by downloading it and using the command ./yarr -open
So you are certain there are massive performance overhead then?
rss2email is probably the most lightweight solution.
Thank you for this, maybe I will used this for specific task in the future..
