how the fuck do I open rss.atom files reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HedgehogRoutine2695 · 2023-12-21 22:30 piped exports in rss.atom files but for the fucking life of me I can't open these fucking files. I can't even convert them. For people touting about being all "open sourced" and "compatible" these motherfuckers know how to pick a format nobody fucking supports for some reason freshrss doesn't work, commafeed doesn't work, I can't get tt-rss to work with docker compose so that's out, just give me a fucking service that'll open this shit man I'm tired ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Webfarer · 2023-12-21 22:35 Isn’t it just xml text files? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AllTheModzAreCancer · 2023-12-21 22:52 When in doubt, Notepad ++. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IcyEase · 2023-12-21 23:20 oh look, another "i need help but actually i'm just whining" post. let me educate you on this enigma called rss.atom files. first off, rss.atom is a standard format for web feeds. many content aggregators use it to provide updates for blogs or news websites. your issue seems to lie with the "piped exports" part. well, piped is a defunct platform, so that's probably your problem right there. as for the programs you mentioned, they might not support piped exports directly. you may have to convert those piped exports into a more common format, like xml or json. although, converting them might be a bit tricky considering piped's closure. so, instead of whining and expecting a magic solution, grab a cup of coffee, say goodbye to piped forever, and start learning how to code. it's time for you to embrace your inner tech-savvy hero and write a script to convert those piped exports. you're welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HedgehogRoutine2695 · 2023-12-21 23:21 yeah but don't you guys have readers for this stuff? I mean there's a whole list of RSS aggregators and clients, and not ONE of them can support this file? Why export to that format at all if none of the common rss reader apps work with it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HedgehogRoutine2695 · 2023-12-21 23:39 I opened it up, and it's just an XML file. What do I do with it? Does it automatically update? Do I have to serve it somewhere? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AllTheModzAreCancer · 2023-12-21 23:50 The fuck if I know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HedgehogRoutine2695 · 2023-12-21 23:54 >oh look, another "i need help but actually i'm just whining" post. yeah nice to meet you too buddy >your issue seems to lie with the "piped exports" part. well, piped is a defunct platform, so that's probably your problem right there. There is nothing indicating as such, at least not on the [github that's had a commit yesterday](https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped) >so, instead of whining and expecting a magic solution... there absolutely should be a magic solution for a standard format that [hasn't been updated since 2017](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8288). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HedgehogRoutine2695 · 2023-12-21 23:58 I'd assume you'd be knowledgeable on RSS if you're commenting on an RSS post but I guess that was a wild assumption ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RedditSlayer2020 · 2023-12-22 00:10 rename to rss.xml and open with one of the gazillion tss readers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AllTheModzAreCancer · 2023-12-22 00:15 https://i.imgflip.com/1e0hp7.jpg
