    what do you use as an aggregator?

    @DownPW In my case, I actually use the RSS plugin for NodeBB 🙂

    @JAC if you pair that with OGProxy, you’ll have a nice preview of the url also.

    I still do use RSS, I am regularly getting news from 3 government agencies and new content from one website to my Thunderbird. Especially, since government agencies do not release news regularly, it is nice not to have to check them regularly.

    I previously mentioned that I am using Thunderbird as my email client, I am also using it as my RSS reader.

    @crazycells I’ve been using RSS for years. I’ve recently implemented it at work, where I have setup a NodeBB build that is designed to act as a Knowledge Base with articles (there are thousands in there now), and I also use the RSS feed plugin to capture security news, and regular updates of data breaches etc. Extremely useful.

    @phenomlab Yes, I previously tested this to subscribe a topic at our NodeBB forum, and it was working great! However, since I visit our forum regularly, I deleted that feed later.

    @crazycells We connect to around 20 different RSS feeds so we can get “breaking news” which for the recent CrowdStrike issue, was very useful.

    @phenomlab yeah, it makes sense… actually when I heard the news, you came to my mind but because of my busy schedule last week I could not log in to the forum…

    I used to use RSS feeds as well. Especially when I was in IT. It is a great way to just get the articles that pertain to you and not have to put up with all the fluff from the websites.

    I’ve used RSS feeds over the years to pull in articles on forums and websites. I also have an RSS feed app on my phone that contains selective football news, it’s still an incredibly handful tool for me.

    @JAC this is a good question and certainly one that will trigger debate. Nord has a good track record for privacy with a no log policy, and has an independent audit to certify this as fact. They also have the most number of servers scattered around the globe and also pioneered NordLynx which is based on the their existing Wireguard protocol. I suspect much of their popularity comes down to their marketing as you suggest with YouTube influencers and affiliate links, although they aren’t the only brand leveraging this area.

    @phenomlab this is good. I see this happen a lot. It is unclear because usually it is a group talking and going over things and trying to plan according to the knowledge that they have with what is working and not working now. And yet some time down the road, something new comes out, something changes and now what was possible isn’t and vise versa. I have seen these kinds of situations, and I encourage taking very good notes and making them so they are always accessible to you/your team so that way a search can be done and the notes appear and you know exactly why, what, how and where the decision was made. When I say you, I mean anyone in a position to make decisions that bring about change in whatever area it might be.

    @Madchatthew I can’t see it happening either to be honest. It’s one of the most mature programming languages there is, and given the figures, it’s clear to see is not going anywhere anytime soon.

    @Panda said in Ross Ulbricht pardoned by Trump: So @phenomlab are you arguing that a ‘Double life +40’ sentence is what you would have been in support of, i.e. no release at any stage?? Yes, exactly. Let’s not forget the reason for the sentence in the first place, plus the fact that he created Silk Road with the intent for it to be used for nefarious purposes, and stood to make a lot of money from it. He fully intended to take advantage of the profit being returned at the expense of those people who died, and couldn’t care less about the demise of others as long as he was able to make money.
