    I love the idea of the internet coming to us rather than us going out to the internet. And RSS is an excellent example.

    I want a system that will cache articles, comics, essentially websites and stay on a system until I am ready to read it. Then it will transform into a queue (RSS clients), email, ebook/pdf format, etc…etc… and ill read it. Its easy for server admins (people are not bombarding their systems), its easy for users (get content how they want it to work) and its better for the internet as a whole. Its one of my favorite tech that has not gone away.

    Ive went from google reader, to thunderbird rss, to freshrss on my own system. My phone queues it all up in the morning and in the afternoon at work, where internet is spotty, ill read my pre-downloaded articles. Its a great system.

        Id rather subscribe to certain entities instead of having ALL entities being able to send me messages. Every time I have my own mailserver, it gets overwhelmed with spam.

        But yes email as a technology is really close to perfect.

          Yep, instead of a single address you should be able to issue keys that let people message you, and when you receive a message you should be able to see what key was used to send it.

          And of course you should be able to revoke keys (tell your mail server to no longer accept messages signed with it).

          I remember that extension but I didn’t user it because it didn’t cleanup after it self (old not needed images stayed in cache).

          what is “your phone”? you mean an app? I know about text caching (I don’t know if frehsrss has an option to get original page for RSSs that has just a simple text that redirects to full page), but even inoreader that had that (if i remember correctly) didn’t have image caching.

            TTRSS reader. It has a “cache image” button on it. I assume it works.

            Ive never had any issues even outside of internet. comics come in from what I see.

                  tt-rss and frehsrss are two different self-hosted apps. are you sure using that app doesnt mess with freshrss?

                    …Im not sure what to tell you. freshrss has an API that TTRSS-Reader works on the backend with. And its working. Fresh ALSO has its own frontend that can work.

                    In preferences theres an “connection” area. Otehr than showing you a lot of screenshots im not sure what else to say. GL!
