I built a feed reader (free, opensource, self hosted web app)
Howdy,
I came here to advertise my feed reader. Then I saw that there is a huge wave of new readers competing for your attention.
After some debating with myself whether to post it at all, I decided to just drop it here with some keyfacts and no ai generated marketing blabla.
Maybe someone is interested, maybe not. I built it mainly for myself and my portfolio. I'm a freelance webdeveloper with 25+ years of experience.- Open source (MIT licence)
- frontend: Angular
- backend: php/Symfony
- dockerized, self hosted, one line installer
- multi user capable
- built with my phone in mind, but works well on desktop
- fetches full linked article to display for distraction free reading inside the app
- OPML import/export
- login via apple and google possible (after some configuration)

REDIFF. Voyage du beau vers le bon avec Pia Renaudat
Dans cet ancien épisode de Bombo, j’ai rencontré Pia Renaudat, co-fondatrice du Petit Mercado, comptoir-épicerie inspiré des Mercado argentins à Saint-Gilles. Avec Mano, son mari, meilleur ami et associé, ils ont concrétisé leur rêve d’ouvrir leur lieu à eux après 3 mois sur les routes sud américaines.
Passionnée par le beau dans un premier temps, en tant que graphiste, le bon a rapidement été une évidence. Jusqu’à devenir la cheffe de cuisine de leur comptoir alors qu’elle ne savait pas cuisiner. Sa touche graphique a persisté et pris sa place dans les étagères.
De petite fille très solitaire à hôtesse de son propre établissement, à force d’amour et de courage, Pia est aujourd’hui une des portes paroles de l’Horeca. Elle amène à réfléchir quant à l’avenir de ces petits établissements si chers à notre vie sociale, à notre vie de quartier ou d’amitiés. Dans ses mots, la réflexion est de mise et prendre action, une nécessité.
C’est avec joie que je vous invite à entrer dans ce petit mercado déguster les mots et mets de Pia.
Bonne écoute

Meta Backs Off Sloppy Gambit To Nickel-And-Dime AI Glasses Customers
Last month we reported how Meta had decided to try and sloppily nickel-and-dime its AI glasses customers. More specifically, the company decided it would be a good idea to introduce new “rate limits” to smart glasses usage, forcing customers to pony up a $20 per month Meta One Premium subscription if they didn’t want their glasses’ “conversation […] -
Spent the last week mostly on the backend of RSC to be able to better moderate, govern an instance.
Admins can now moderate own instance and also moderate how remote users from other RSC instances are ingested/displayed on/with the instances an admin federate with.
Later on we'll need roles so that an instance can have users with moderation capabilities, allowing an admin to share governance with members
The moment we federated even just with demo RSC instance, the lack of observability, control and moderation quickly became problematic
The whole point was to give admins a full view of all the feeds added by users with the capabilities to moderate if necessary.
I think the current backend controls + API admin capabilities will be enough to build on top without much friction
There is also a simplification of the backend code ongoing, we'll constantly face this kind of targeted refactoring because the project is very new and still finding its way.
Anyway, more news soon :)

New Pets, Sick Pets, and Hemorrhaging Money
Wooh! The last few weeks have been absolutely mental here in Casa del Quirk.
Around 2 months ago we started renovating the stables to make things better for the goats and chickens. We've had an extraction system put in so fresh air is always circulating, as chickens are very dusty and goats don't like it too hot and stuffy.
While we were at it, we also had some new fencing and gates put in, as well as better hard standing around the stables. Finally we had the old, rotten windows and doors replaced with lovely new ones that have shutters so we can control the air flow depending on the weather.
Our stables with the new windows and doorsAs you can imagine, this has been a significant expense, but we planned for it. So it's all good, but then...
Sick pet
Around a month ago we noticed that our older (and favourite) dog, Tia, had rather smelly breath and her mouth was bleeding when she was playing with her ball. We figured it's just old age and bad teeth, so we took her to the vet to have her mouth checked and properly cleaned.
Unfortunately it was bad news. Tia has a benign but aggressive tumour growing in her gum. Apparently they're relatively common in older dogs (she's nearly 14) but if left untreated it would get very painful and we ultimately end up having to have her euthanised as it would significantly effect her quality of life.
So we paid the unexpected £1,000 (~$1,350) bill to have the initial tumour removed, her teeth cleaned, and a biopsy. In the meantime we were also referred to a specialist to hopefully get the issue sorted properly.
Last week Tia went to the specialist to have a full body CT scan. This would give them more info about the tumour in her mouth and what our options are, but also (because she's so old) let us know if there's anything more malicious going on in her body.
We have to be pragmatic about this - the treatment was going to be expensive, and we had to make a call on whether we wanted it doing if they found something like cancer lingering somewhere in her body. Luckily for us the old girl came back with a clean bill of health and the tumour was treatable. That was another £1,500 (~$2,020) down the drain, but well spent.
The procedure to treat the tumour involved taking around 40mm (~1.5") of her lower jaw away. It's a significant operation and the recovery, especially for an older dog, will be difficult. On Monday she had the procedure, it went really well, and yesterday she came home a day earlier than we expected. She's a tough old girl.
She's much better today, but still struggling as she's been through a lot. Having a pet that's in pain is the worst - you can't really reassure them like you can a human, so you find yourself hopelessly watching them suffer.
It's heartbreaking, but it's for the best. We're still to get the bill for this procedure, but the vet has estimated an eye-watering £4,400 (~$6,000).
If anyone is playing along, that's £6,900 (~$9,200) in unexpected vet bills over the last few weeks. She also isn't insured as it's prohibitively expensive for a dog of her age. So we need to foot the entire bill.
Anyway, on to more positive news...
New pet
Last Saturday we welcomed the newest addition to our family, Nelly the 8 week old Labrador/cocker spaniel cross. The breed is known as a Cockador apparently - very unfortunate name if you ask me.
Nelly on her first visit to the vet, being very good.Like any puppy, Nelly is a lot of work. Especially if you add into the mix a very sick dog, and the kids being off school for the summer holidays. I've also been working long hours recently, so my poor wife has been juggling most of this on her own. She's at her whits end.
Nelly, Tia, and our other dog Sidney are all getting on well though. Nelly is even helping distract Tia from the pain she's in.
It's fair to say that all our savings are gone, and the last of Tia's treatment will need to be thrown on a credit card so we can pay it off over the next few months.
Things are extremely busy and stressful at the moment. But hopefully we will have Tia for a couple more years so her, Nelly, and Sid will become a proper little pack that gives us lots of lovely memories.
Pets are a gift and we wouldn't have it any other way. I just wish vets bills were a little cheaper!

API
Oops we are about to have an API now..
Still polishing a few things but you'll be able to use a user generated/governed api keys to read/write on your account and read the firehose
There is also a anonymous firehose entrypoint, this could allow anyone to create a completely different UI for any given RSC instance or God knows what other applications on top 😊 -

Anke Richter, Part 1 - Ecstatic Dancing, Tantric Sex, and Joining ISTA
Today is part 1 with Anke Richter, journalist, author of Cult Trip, former member of Tantric group International School of Temple Arts, and founder and director of New Zealand’s cult conference DeCult. In this week’s episode she shares how she began as a journalist investigating cults, but when she went to a tantric sex festival, she had a peak experience with ecstatic dancing that made her never want to go back to her old way of life.
She’ll talk about doing her first training in tantric pleasure, which got her deeper into ISTA and the idea of tantric polarity and exploring her feminine energy that she’d felt she’d been missing, and how the intensity and the highs she felt in these communities made real life seem boring. Plus, how there often aren’t a lot of sexual communities to choose from in general, which can create room for the sketchier ones to flourish.

New release of LLM adds support for reasoning traces, OpenAI Responses, server-side tools, and smarter logging
I released LLM 0.32 this morning, the most significant new version of LLM since the initial launch of the project. The new version includes support for visible reasoning traces, server-side provider tools, redesigned content-addressable SQLite logs, new models, and new features enabled by the OpenAI Responses API. I also released a new version of the llm-anthropic plugin with substantial updates of its own.
Headline features for LLM CLI users
Running LLM against reasoning models now displays their reasoning traces to standard error, so you can see what they are "thinking" without that information being included in the standard output that you might pipe to another tool. Add
-R/--hide-reasoningto turn this off.
LLM includes support out-of-the-box for the GPT-5.6 model family, and the new default model used with
llm "prompt"is now the inexpensive but capable GPT-5.6 Luna.LLM calls can now use server-side tools from various providers. OpenAI provide a code execution environment as a server-side tool; LLM can now run prompts that benefit from that like so:
llm --tool CodeInterpreter 'Show current python and SQLite versions'OpenAI also gets a WebSearch tool.
The llm-anthropic plugin adds WebSearch, WebFetch, CodeExecution, and AnthropicMCP, which looks like this:
llm -m claude-sonnet-5 -T 'AnthropicMCP("https://datasette.simonwillison.net/-/mcp")' \ 'how many rows in the blog_blogmark table?'
That causes Anthropic to execute MCP calls against my new datasette-mcp plugin as part of a single request/response interaction with their API.
The new llm openai endpoint command provides a tool for executing prompts against any OpenAI compatible endpoint as a one-liner. These aren't logged, which makes this a handy tool for running one-off prompts against anything that speaks the lingua franca of the LLM API world.
Here's how I use that to run prompts against Gemma 4 12B running in my localhost LM Studio API, via
uvx(no LLM installation required) and mixing in the llm-tools-quickjs tool plugin for good measure:uvx --with llm-tools-quickjs \ llm openai endpoint http://localhost:1234/v1 -m google/gemma-4-12b \ -T QuickJS 'Use QuickJS to multiply 3434 * 2434' --td
New features in the Python API
LLM's Python API previously required you to create a conversation and then send messages to it one at a time. This was an abstraction over the true nature of LLMs, where each request carries a complete history of the messages that came before it. That abstraction started to get in the way for some more advanced cases, so the new release introduces a
model.prompt(messages=[])parameter that can be used like this:import llm from llm import user, assistant, system model = llm.get_model("gpt-5.6-luna") response = model.prompt(messages=[ system("You are a helpful pirate."), user("What is the capital of France?"), assistant("Paris, matey."), user("And Germany?"), ]) print(response.text())
LLM previously returned an iterable sequence of strings from each prompt. This worked great when models returned a string response, but failed to predict the weird shape that models would evolve towards. Today many models return a mix of reasoning text, output strings, tool calls, and even image attachments. With LLM 0.32 you can do this instead:
for event in model.prompt("Explain cats").stream_events(): if event.type == "reasoning": print(f"[thinking] {event.chunk}", end="", flush=True) elif event.type == "text": print(event.chunk, end="", flush=True) else: print(f"Other event: {event}")
Combine these features and we can finally provide a robust implementation of the semi-standard OpenAI chat completions API, which I've now released as the llm-chat-completions-server plugin:
llm install llm-chat-completions-server llm chat-completions-server --port 9000 # Server is now running on http://127.0.0.1:9000/v1Now you can run prompts against LLM via that server, using the new
llm openai endpointcommand!llm openai endpoint http://127.0.0.1:9000/v1 'hello' -m gpt-5.4-miniThe bigger challenge with that kind of API concerns logging. If we're going to support the pattern where the message sequence is appended to on every request, ideally we can avoid logging all of that duplicate JSON for every turn.
The solution is the new content-addressable message store, modeled after Git. You can see the new schema for that in the documentation, but the
llm logsandllm logs --jsoncommands have both been upgraded to convert that format back into something that's easy to consume.And the rest
There is a whole lot more in this release. The 0.32 release notes are pretty comprehensive, and the notes for 0.32rc2, 0.32rc, 0.32a3, 0.32a2, and 0.32a0 should fill in any gaps.
Existing LLM plugins should all continue to work, but plugins that provide extra models will need to be upgraded to 0.32 in order to participate fully in the new streaming events system. There's a guide to implementing plugins with Structured messages and streaming events in the documentation.
I've updated some of my own plugins:
-
llm-anthropic 0.26 adds support for the Claude 5 family of models, plus
WebSearch,WebFetch,CodeExecution, andAnthropicMCPserver-side tools. - llm-gemini and llm-openrouter and llm-mistral are nearly there, releases coming soon.
I guess LLM is an agent framework now
Quite a few of the lower-level tools changes in this release were driven by the needs of Datasette Agent. When I started work on LLM, the term "agent" had such a vague definition that I refused to use it. In September 2025 I came around to the idea that "An LLM agent runs tools in a loop to achieve a goal" is well established enough now that I could stop avoiding the term entirely.
Tool chains can now pause for human approval and resume from a stored message history - both needed by Datasette Agent.
Looking at LLM today it's beginning to look very agent-shaped to me. There's something neat about having a CLI utility that can mix and match different tools from different sources with different models all as a one-liner, and that includes a Python library powerful enough to build systems like Datasette Agent and llm-coding-agent.
Maybe the next version of LLM will bake the concept of an "agent" into the core library. I'm still trying to figure out what that would look like.

Is there more info on how something appears on the explore timeline?
I subscribed to a feed-of-feeds that i put together from a folder on inoreader. It's a feed of my posts on mastodon, lemmy, etc.
I expected it to only appear on my Following timeline, but a couple of posts appeared on the explore timeline.
Should users consider anything added to Following to be public? Or can we know more about what will stay on our private Following timeline and what appears on Explore?
I'm not complaining, as I don't know if something has gone wrong exactly and this isn't a security or privacy issue, it would just be good to know what to expect.

My First Blog
I first decided that it would be useful to have my own website at the beginning of 2004 when I started heading out into the mountains with West Bromwich Mountaineering Club. I wrote my first post about a walk in the snow up Raise, near Helvellyn, from Patterdale in the Lake District in February of that year. I can still remember the small of the sausages cooking in the Helvellyn YHA as we walked past that morning.
You can still read my very first entry on this site right here.
I spent the next 8 months messing around with various free hosting providers, who were prevalent at the time, but vanished just as quickly, before obtaining my lee-perry.co.uk domain and buying my first hosting plan from macoman, who became Ariotek before later being procured by Krystal.io when their server architecture began to fail. I have had spells hosting my own server and on site ground before heading back to Krystal probably around 8 years ago.
Prior to buying the domain there also used to be a free .co.nr registrar who I had registered lee-perry.co.nr with, but thankfully no images of that design persisted into the Wayback Machine! I seem to remember writing pages of html and css, with garish granite backed image buttons for navigation.
On 19 December 2004 I uploaded a site that I had built using a gallery generator. The software set galleries into an html framework that I had built, with a number of hand rolled front and index pages, and obviously mountain lists for ticking hills on. Despite its clear agedness now, the design persisted quite well, and remained on the site for around 4 years before I began experimenting with Joomla. Though mobile responsively was not a thing back then, I seem to be able to remember being able to look at this site quite well in a mobile phone browser at mountaineering club evenings at the Globe in Reform Street, West Bromwich.
I used to spend hours poring over photographs and writing what today would just be alt-text. Somewhere I still have a full copy of this four years of my online life, that will still have all of those descriptions.
Not quite my first design then, but the earliest that I can lay my hands on. I didn't miss having to manually update and move the four cards on the right of the homepage each time I update the site and, as you did back in 2004, uploaded it to my hosting via FTP. These things go full circle, again pushing design updates to my hosting using FileZilla again now - but at least Pure Blog produces my site dynamically on the server.
After a couple decades of explaining what a hyphen was, I shortened my domain name to prry.uk this year, having consolidated all of my various projects into it. lee-perry.co.uk will be reborn shortly as my profile page on omg.lol.

In recent years, science has been learning more and more about how central the role of inflammation is to our health. “The paradox that often makes treating chronic inflammation so difficult: It can be vital and harmful at the same time.”

Are You Good at Mowing Lawns?
I don’t know what sort of neurodiverse bucket this puts me in, but I think a lot about mowing the lawn1 relative to how much time I actually spend mowing lawns (~6-7 hours per year). And so I was completely fascinated by The Pudding’s latest post on optimal lawn mowing paths and “why some people mow a lawn better than others”.
They built several digital lawns for people to mow and recorded all of their moves, how often they paused at certain times, and who mowed an optimal path.
Solving the lawn mowing problem is formally called Coverage Path Planning, and is related to one of the most famous path planning problems in computer science: The Traveling Salesman Problem.
Humans turn out to be pretty good mowers, especially those who take their time and have played some video games (including, one would assume, Dig Dug, Pac-Man, Mr. Do!, and any other game where you need to worry about dead-ends).
Sarah, one of the best mowers, spent her attention unevenly on purpose. She had a theory about why.
“The bigger spaces have more cognitive load for you to figure out what the best path is. Whereas the smaller spaces…there are fewer decisions to make.”
She planned the tight, trap-prone sections carefully and winged it on the open ones.
So it’s not about thinking more or faster, but when thinking happens. That’s what a good heuristic does: it spends your attention on the decisions that matter and nothing on the ones that don’t.
The piece is interactive so you get to try your hand at digital mowing as well.
My actual lawn is very irregularly shaped with a few dead-ends & choke points and an added wrinkle that I can’t blow grass clippings into the flower beds (so I can only go one-way the “wrong way” in those areas). So every time I mow, I’m trying to figure out the optimal path so I don’t end up backtracking too much. I probably end up saving about 45 seconds of actual time but boy is it fun from an intellectual standpoint.

We're still socialists
I was into Ayn Rand when I was a teen until I realized that the Great Man theory was a lot of bunk written for teenagers who can't believe how stupid the adults are. The teens are right about that, the adults have no idea wtf they're doing. Never did. And yet somehow the world can support most of the humans. And the reason that works is we build systems iteratively to meet the needs for everyone and when things change, they change. We're a species-oriented animal. And that means unfortunately for the dreamers among us, we are socialists because the world is socialist All of us. Even the people who say they aren't. -

OpenAI shared some text messages and emails to support their side of the Apple lawsuit. OpenAI opens with this:
Apple is one of the greatest companies of all time, and built a reputation for obsessing over the smallest details. This careless, aggressive and oddly personal lawsuit sadly doesn’t live up to that reputation.
Apple is clearly worried about OpenAI's upcoming device. I remain skeptical of any company of Apple's size using lawyers to stop a competitor.

An 8K Cinematic Tribute to the Artemis II Mission
Using high-definition open source videos and photos from NASA and his own music, John Boswell (aka Melodysheep) created this mesmerizing eight-minute video recap of the Artemis II mission that enchanted us all back in the spring. Like all of his videos I’ve featured on KDO, this one is really well done.

Capital One Says Money Laundering, Not January 6 Riot, Led To Shutdown Of Trump Accounts
I don’t know but when your best argument is “we got locked out of our accounts for supporting violent insurrectionists,” maybe it’s time to stop arguing.

Dave Winer on how we'll be remembered (2019)
“This will be remembered as the time we all waited for someone else to take the risk, not wanting to disturb our lives. The spoiled citizens of a country that fought wars without a draft, that got tax cuts in time of war, inflated our economy as we inflicted chaos on others.”

How to create a standard, 2026 addition
TL;DR: What developers need. Enough examples, a validator, and decent docs that value explaining over mathematical elegance. We assume developers can read and think, and if there's doubt look to the examples for guidance.
It's worth noting we did not take the RSS.chat project to a standards body like the W3C or the IETF. I develop the software first, make sure I'm happy with it, then open it up for other developers to try out, either building something compatible (a reader) or competitive (a writing environment). Hopefully we won't find major problems, but if we do, there's still time to address them.
I find that most standards that come out of the standards bodies aren't developed by implementors or with them in mind. They avoid trying to solve any specific problem, rather focusing on the elegance and flexibility of the format. This makes interop much less likely.
I saw the differences several times as the web standards were growing up. The ones that were taken over by the W3C ended up missing the point. They could still be used, but they often did anti-interop things in their design. But if they get popular we will build on them anyway. A great example was XML-RPC vs SOAP. We didn't need another way to do RPC on the web, we already had a good one. We didn't need another syndication format, RSS was growing like a weed. We didn't need an alterative to rssCloud, but we got one anyway.
It's as if they forgot that the internet and web were not build by big corporations, who were busy fighting over Windows vs Mac OS. Lotus vs Excel. The internet was built mostly by individuals at universities. The internet caught the tech industry by surprise. So it's no wonder the formats they built were anti-internet. Long story, the point is we're building stuff is mimimalist yet still does a lot of great things. And there won't be a lot of long mathematical sounding definitions, but there will be plenty of examples and a validator, the tools developers need to create interop.
