> When a new feed item comes in Superfeedr sends an https request to an AWS lambda function, that stores the feed items into an SQS queue, and YOShInOn's ingest script fetches items from its queue at its convenience. The one trouble with it is that it costs 10 cents/feed/month... It's quite affordable if I want to subscribe to 100 feeds (which I do currently) but subscribing to 2000 independent blogs that get one post a week is getting pricey. Wow, that seems overengineered to me. I use a cron job on my phone, and taskspooler as a queue. It has no operating costs, doesn't rely on any third-party infrastructure, can be edited/audited/executed locally, etc. > it is absolutely unthinkable that a phone would be polling and polling and polling hundreds of severs all day... It would kill your battery! How often are you polling? I usually set several hours between cron runs; any more frequent and I find myself mindlessly refreshing for updates. I have a few Bash commands to check if we're on WiFi/Ethernet, if we're plugged into a charger, etc. which also control some systemd targets. That makes it easier to avoid using any mobile data or battery power. PS: Planet is alive and well (at least, the FOSS project ones I read, like Planet Haskell) :)
