I am also interested in an egpu but not for gaming, just for running local AI models. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Yes. Monitoring GitHub for releases is great (especially if the project posts change logs). Also, if you are a developer and need to monitor library updates for any deps you app might have, many of those sites also have rss feeds. For example: https://libraries.io/

I’m at my laptop all day for work so I use it on my laptop, desktop, and phone so syncing is important. Since it support Google reader api, there are a ton of different clients for it too.

I’ve also set my wife up with her own account and it makes sharing articles and feeds with her easy.

I’m a big self hoster and already have an environment set up for it. I don’t know if it is worth setting up servers and vpns and security just for rss.

I use self hosted FreshRSS. I has:

• news straight from the section I care about in chronological order order
• new blog updates
• music review updates
• Bandcamp releases from artists/labels I follow
• open source software releases I follow
• YouTube updates from channels I follow.
• etc

It is by far the best way to get updates about just the things you care about.

I was using freshrss which can grab the rad feed for a channel, but I’ve moved to tube archivist with a Jellyfin plugin. Now they are all predownloaded and just show up on my tv via Jellyfin app.

It’s a way better way to keep track of what you want to watch.
