I keep thinking the state of being offline ~90% of the time is the way to go - my current choice in tech projects is strongly guided by this belief.

rss feeds are a great quality:size ratio, I have a huge list of primary sources, will export and paste it here if anyone wants - and always appreciate any good recommendations.

The best way I've found to win the ad blocking game is to get the rss feed when possible.

I used to think that RMS was crazy for essentially wgeting every site he wanted to browse locally, but now it is making a lot of sense.

Also, could you share your list? I always love finding new sites.

This is the same thing that I do. I wrote about my setup in my blog [1].

Basically grab RSS for most things I read.

Use node-red to create RSS feeds for things that don't have one, or use node-red to pre-filter feeds, as well as for downloading full content for offline reading.

I read Twitter with RSS. I haven't got time to turn Facebook into RSS yet, but hopefully at some point.

I'm interested in this. I've been wanting to get this set up but it always feels like rss feeds are hidden from being discovered. Not to mention I haven't found an RSS reader that I particularly like.

Definitely interested. Been thinking about making the shift but not sure where/with what to start.

Here's a small sample of feeds that seemed to be updated more regularly or had good content. not all primary sources of course. I left out all the big newspapers, subreddits and my local stuff. The xml export of my rss reader (liferea on gnome) is a bit ugly, I'll probably put it up on a github repo later and post back.
