With the decline of twitter and reddit, it's time to take a look at RSS again if you haven't already. (voidfiles.github.io)

It's always good to be in control of your own content sources.

There's a great piece of software called Kill the Newsletter that converts email newsletters into RSS feeds. Each feed gets a unique email address, and all emails to that address go into its RSS feed. It's open-source so you can self-host it. It's a good way to clean up your email inbox a bit.

An interesting idea. The bonus being that if spam starts showing up in your RSS feed, you know who sold your address.

I use a different email address for each site I sign up to, for this reason. I have a "catch all" email meaning everything @ my domain goes to the same email account. I found out about the LinkedIn data breach before I saw news reports about it because I suddenly started getting a lot of spam to my linkedin@ address :)

I use something similar called Slick Inbox, but I like the idea of selfhosting, so may need to give Kill the Newsletter a look.

Sweet! Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm excited to learn more about it and hopefully try it out! That's such a cool feature

@dan Inoreader (I think part of the pro version) has something similar. Very useful!
