  • How are you selecting feeds to download? If you use a cloud/self hosted RSS service you can get a feed of articles you star. From there you can use a desktop feed reader to download the starred feed to your kindle:

    1. Calibre can download news articles as .epub files, and supports transferring them to the kindle via USB. It can extract webpage text from non full-content feeds in a customizable way with Python.

    2. KOreader's RSS feature stores feed items as .epub files as well, but it's not as customizable. It does support full text extraction, but you don't get any options to customize the output as far as I can tell.









  • Yes and all that technical debt, complexity and loss in decentralization could be avoided by simply increasing the block size. BCH for example has zero-conf transactions and the average fee is also <$0.01.

    But that would mean that you'd be able to use it as an actual means of exchange instead of this crippled "Internet gold" bastardization that BTC has become.





  • Delta Chat is quite good, it's an email client thats built like a messenger app. It's E2EE with Autocrypt lvl 1, you can use it with most email services, and they have a self hostable/hosted "chatmail" service that you can also use if regular email services are slowing down the messages (gmail isn't the best for this). It also supports apps and games in chat using the webXDC standard.


    • Terminal: termux is the best, just don't use the google play version, it's outdated. Just use the fdroid version.
    • EBook Reader: I've used most of them, I really like KOReader for it's built in calibre functionality.
    • file sync: syncthing full stop.
    • file sharing: Warpinator if its your own machines, otherwise go to pairdrop.net
    • IDE: Acode on fdroid is probably the best mobile-optimized one I've tried.
    • Backup: Titanium Backup is probably still the best option for backing up appdata.

    Hope this helps!
