I just recently stood up a self-hosted ttrss myself, the instance I used from just after the death of reader fizzled out due to server moves, and all the feeds there also fizzeled out. I’m thirsty for some myself.

My local Government’s CMS has a bunch of RSS feeds I added, useful to try and stay on top of things. You may be surprised to if you dig into your local town’s web site. UNFORTUNATELY my State Government’s legislature seems to have HAD rss feeds, but the link was removed, and it’s commented out in the HTML source.

I worry too – if this gets any significant uptake, what’s stopping Reddit from shutting off the spigot? Given their reasons for turning the screws on API and other policy changes, they may not take kindly to having “their” content re-posted elsewhere, let alone to a system designed specifically to escape reddit.

If it’s a secure enough environment, I imagine that there will be monitoring on the device, and the moment a hub shows up that’s not supposed to be there, or any other USB device tree that doesn’t match the approved list, , alarm bells ought to go off. If it’s valuable enough; the attack would be to use a passive device picking up leaky signals on the wire, or even hidden camera watching screen/keyboard.
