schestowitz-TR2went out of town for 4 hours, a place we've not visited in yearsOct 29 17:41
schestowitz-TR2it was not crowded at all and we bought many items long needed, not foodOct 29 18:12
schestowitz-TR2also got a lot of sanitisers very cheaplyOct 29 18:12
schestowitz-TR2atm I  try to get "ahead" of RSS feeds so can do anothe trip tomorrowOct 29 18:13
techrights-sec3A lot of the RSS feeds I have are defunct or very seldomly added to yet thereOct 29 18:17
techrights-sec3are so many that they have to be dealt with in 3 or 4 separate sessions.Oct 29 18:17
techrights-sec3They'd definitely be way to many to consider if even half were active.Oct 29 18:17
techrights-sec3Yet I hope that some of the better ones would get updated more often, evenOct 29 18:17
techrights-sec3once a quarter.  There were quite a few bloggers that wrote regularly, sayOct 29 18:17
techrights-sec3every other month, or every other week, but have gone totally quiet sinceOct 29 18:17

techrights-sec3a single feed or maybe two or three at the most.  QuiteRSS has a good UI Oct 29 18:48

techrights-sec3Looking at liferea atmOct 29 18:49
schestowitz-TR2there are way to work around quitrss crashing issuesOct 29 18:49
schestowitz-TR2impoving the tricks over timeOct 29 18:49
schestowitz-TR2I want to expand on your categorisation Oct 29 18:58

schestowitz-TR2e) feeds that post utter crap all of a suddent (don't want to name any atm)Oct 29 18:58
schestowitz-TR2i am going through the weekend list atm, the s/n ratio is not good given that the s was already scooped up  by yoOct 29 18:58
schestowitz-TR2u during the weekOct 29 18:58
techrights-sec3liferea is good but has crashedOct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3a, b, c, and e can all be culled.  I try to leave only d and erase the others.Oct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3Some in category d are worth the wait and with the right setting never are seenOct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3until they actually produce something.  But the question arises of how long Oct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3they should be considered idle and at what point they are to be consideredOct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3abandoned?Oct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3The feeds I sent you are already covered, as you see.  They are now a slightOct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3majority of the remaining news.  The formerly reliable news sites have lessOct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3and less content, let alone useful content.Oct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3QuiteRSS has the 'show only unread' option and that hides the idle feedsOct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3quite well.  The problem with QuiteRSS is its crashiness.  Oct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3Liferea does not manage read/unread properly.  It is not usable if that is theOct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3case, it needs to keep track of the status and not re-load line items once theyOct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3have been read or marked as read.Oct 29 19:41
techrights-sec3It also refuses to accept self-signed certificates.  That is likey a misfeatureOct 29 19:41
