For my Thinkpad x200s with:
- Antix 22 x86 Linux
- Core 2 Duo L9400
- 2gb RAM
- 128gb SSD. What’s your best recommendation RSS reader for this specs?
I really like matcha. It is just a little go app (17MB) that is configured with a config file. You can use it to display in-terminal or, what you are meant to do, run it and it generates a markdown file as a “digest” of the feeds you configure, easy to trigger it manually or you can set up a cron job/systemd timer to do it on a schedule.
Great alternative! Mayber I’ll used Matcha on my Thinkpad x260 once I try to messing with Obsidian. Thank you…
As long as I have Thunderbird already opened and using resources for reading mail, I decided I might as well use it for RSS too instead of opening another application.
Works for me, YMMV.
I used Thunderbird for my Thinkpad x260. But for x200s, TB is too power hungry…
Yarr, a very lightweight RSS reader. https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr
To deploy Yarr within a Docker container, you can use the Docker image provided by Wakeful-Cloud. https://github.com/Wakeful-Cloud/yarr
I have been running it on Raspberry Pi 3 for a couple of months without any issues, so I believe you won’t encounter any problems.
I wouldn’t count docker as light, not for core2duo processor.
So you are certain there are massive performance overhead then?
You can run directly without docker by downloading it and using the command
./yarr -open
