Simply read RSS/Atom via mail (Rss2Email, for instance, there are few others) and simply have your mail synchronized as usual via IMAP. No need of a LAMP stack.

Personally I prefer RSS2Email, so I have a good single place to read anything and a good storage and classifications software to save posts I like. notmuch-emacs + a good maildir sync solution (like MBSync, OfflineIMAP etc) are far superior

Mh, because cars are about moving on roads and boats on water? Git is a dCVS, so a software to store source code tracking history and users, not a communication platform, mails on contrary are communication platform. If you want something l

Join an ML is normally quicker than join a forum/discourse/stackexchange etc. You generally only need to send an email with subscribe inside to a given address. If for you send an email is not immediate (personal case shift-F6 dir

Git is a dVCS so yes, it's already decentralized and in that sense GitHub is a mere "starting place" for newcomers who want to checkout the official repo. However many, too many, use proprietary stuff offered by GitHub on top

Personally I left GMail & others Google services for similar reasons: I need my data in my hand, I know they are substantially public but at least I can own them locally.

I do not know if it's a joke for you but it's a discussion point: my point is that devs are not "mass users" so they MUST know the tools of the trade. So if I agree for instance that LaTeX for the classic stereotypical s

May I ask why IPFS instead of ZeroNet that's explicitly build to be a P2P distributed website platform and it's far more simple, lighter and clear than IPFS?

In the past we have had few "code repos" from Savannah to Sf and few sites like freshmeat to spread the news, the code, the idea. Of course we also have had and have used usenet. IMVHO today it's time to evalutare ZeroNet for

The problem is a matter of audience and missing communications IMO. In the old usenet we do communicate DIRECTLY each others so anyone have a reputation, so we know "original sources" and we prize accordingly. In today's worl

Economically Google, professionally a startup. Google seems to be evolved from a tech company to a bureaucratic one, so definitively not attractive except for salary reasons.

To be honest I follow HN via feed (Rss2Email), have tried hackernews Emacs interface but it's simply too limited. WebUI is horrible and IMVHO can't be really improved with web-tech. For me the best thing is resurrect usenet and cr

I agree with author prediction, however I propose another solution: Plan9. It's devs foreseen today's problem and start to solve them, far better than actual partial solutions. Oh, of course, Plan9 imply user independence and sove

Hey I'm a HUMAN, not a cow to be milked by someone. I do write text, our information is mostly textual. But I need it manageable, organize with file taxonomy, structure taxonomy and full-text/fuzzy search. Something like org-mode.

Not for me. It's seems to be designed by someone who do not really use keyboard, just plain classic Windows-style. I'm an Emacs user, coming from Vim. I think as tons of other. I do not want Vim-in-Emacs (evil-mode) but I do want
