I've just discovered a new, self-hostable, minimalist RSS feed aggregator. No JS, very simple to use. There's a free, hosted version too at https://vore.website. Thanks @j3s. Long live #RSS!
@quanin Yeah that works as well. Problem is, I have so many feeds that if I receive an email per item, my email provider would have issues. And it's too much of a hassle to host my own, for now. This and other aggregators like Miniflux are very convenient, but I guess you can have a convenient email template too, if you have one email every 5 minutes with the updated items of all the feeds.
@quanin Thank you very much for the offer. I am currently okay with the email service I use, but one day I am very likely going to host my own. I just don't have time to deal with removing blacklisted ips, domains, spam, etc, at the moment.
If you set it up right you really don't have to do much of that, but I entirely get it. In the meantime, if you want to try the utility I use, it's here. Your distro probably has a package for it. https://github.com/rss2email/rss2email

@quanin Thanks. Yep, I've seen this when I was looking for an RSS aggregator years ago. I think there's an Aur package for Arch, which I am using.
Yeah, email hosting also depends on what provider you go with if you use a dedicated server, lazy blacklists are just blocking whole ranges and your ip might turn up somewhere just because someone else was sending abusive emails within that ip range. Google's also keen on doing this, or flagging it as spam and then all mail ends up in people's spam folder. But apart from these frustrating things, it's absolutely worth it of course. It's just hit and miss really.
Go with Linode. They've started defaulting to blocking SMTP unless it's explicitly requested. I'm grandfathered in, but you won't be if you don't already have an account with them.
@quanin Ah, that's a good idea, thanks. Will have to look. I'd like to avoid US-based servers, but I am sure they have EU ones. Email hosting is one of my long-term projects, just never have enough time to sit down haha.
