I keep a copy of the .opml file here. just RSS feeds I watch.

Aggregators

Dev / Software

Love hate relationships with these sites, but the gems are worth it. Avoid the comments (mostly).

News and Organizations

Both standard-fare, government source, and generic corporate sites.

Government

Government related news to keep up with.

Blogs / Non-Corpo

Dissimilar to news in that its primarily individuals / or if they’re not individuals, it doesn’t give off the corporate vibe.

Topic

Self-explanatory, sites that are less person-focused and more on the topic. Generally has multiple authors or a company site.

Software / Programming
Data
  • This topic is more of a catchall for analytics and general data topics. Be it discussion on databases or just general analytics topics such as SQL / OLAP queries, etc.
Machine Learning
Python
Statistics
https://statisticsbyjim.com
  • Moderately rudimentary stuff, but I think it’s worth a refresher every now and then.
Religion
Christianity
  • Evangelical

Games
Video Games
  • https://vengilikes.wordpress.com/feed/

    • Visual novel blog. I forget how I found them (maybe I googled a review for one I was playing?). But visual novels are one of the few genres of games I play nowadays.

Person

Blogs centered around a specific writer/group. Things I’ve wandered into and liked at least one article/story.

http://aaronsw.com/weblog/index.xml
  • Aaron Swartz’s old blog. (RIP) - even though it’s not updated, I like keeping it around on my reader. I sometimes go back to read his old posts.
http://bactra.org/notebooks/index.rss
  • Cosma. I think I found via one of Rao’s links. Physics professor. Good link jumping point due to recommended / not links.
  • Seems to mass throw notes at the RSS feed though.
http://boston.conman.org/index.atom
  • A blog I found while reading about the gemini protocol. Seems a bit cantankerous

but I dig the vibe.

https://irreal.org/blog/?feed=rss2
  • Irreal - I feel like I encountered them before but forgot to add to list. Usually whenever I’m reading up on emacs.
https://blog.dornea.nu
  • another emacs blogger - remember running into his blog several times while I was doing elfeed config edits
https://cliffle.com/rss.xml
  • Has some other things, but found via rust discussion on the typestate pattern.
https://dusted.dk
  • no RSS(? - I think, I didn’t look too hard) - broken up into different sections, still neat.
https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/rss.xml
  • Wrote an (apparently - I need to read it) on programming language design / interpreters.
https://ludic.mataroa.blog
  • saw their rant on agile via another site I read - good!
https://milkyeggs.com
  • fbifemboy’s blog, stopped updating, I think
https://nonint.com/feed/
  • James Betker’s blog, of Google/OpenAI(?)- mostly posts on machine learning.
https://prog21.dadgum.com/atom.xml
  • “Programming” / thoughts-on tech blog that I like, it’s no longer updated but

there’s some gems.

Literary

As opposed to blog this would be collective works, literary criticism sites, etc. etc. - differentiating profit/mainstream with the magazine vs. zine distinction.

Zines

https://www.surfaces.cx
  • An “open literary arts platform”

Audio

Podcasts

I’ve seen workflows that allow for mpd/mpc and emms to listen to podcasts inside emacs but it seemed fiddly.

Other

These are not necessarily feeds, but listings of things I’ve read that might be worth keeping track of for others / things I’ve deemed important enough to read more than once but don’t have a feed associated.
