Summary

Hey, remember RSS? Friend of the show Wes Fenlon joins us for a record fourth (!!) time to reminisce about the glory days of really simple syndication, when you could just aggregate all your favorite news and blogs into one tidy feed. This episode is about more than just waxing nostalgic, though; Wes is here to tell us all about bringing it all back with his self-hosted RSS stack, including his setup for FreshRSS (and some of its alternatives), ways to get RSS out of sites that don't even serve it anymore, the growing "indie web" movement that aims to recapture the spirit of a simpler Internet, and more.

Okay, Brad, I got the problem right now, and I'm a little flustered because, you know, at one point I was told that this was going to be a forever solution.

0:09.1

I'd be really careful when I was like lining stuff upright and I was told that the glue was permanent on my headphone hook that I put on like two or three years ago.

And you're not going to believe it.

It's starting

to peel off. Hmm. Adhesive, not living up to its claims? Look, I know that as a society,

0:27.4

as a culture, as a people, we don't really understand glue, right? It's complicated. Like,

0:33.1

who knows? Maybe it's, maybe it's VanderWals forces. Maybe it's something we don't have a name for yet.

0:38.7

My understanding is that glue is it was one of the great mysteries, but it's like a $3 trillion

industry nonetheless. Anyway, this headphone hook came with some 3M business. It's a big, thick

gray pad with red labels on it. It was like, yo, when you stick this, it's going to be on forever.

0:53.9

And the part that I stuck to the table is clearly on forever.

0:57.3

But the part that came stuck onto the hook,

Maybe that side didn't have the fancy 3M stuff on it.

1:03.3

Man,

1:03.6

why would they sell one half?

1:05.3

Why would they sell one half with the good stuff and one half with the not good

1:08.3

stuff?

1:08.6

I want to, if one side's going to be permanent, I want the other side to be permanent too, man. So, I mean, my first question,

which you covered was did the adhesive come in some kind of brand name configuration, which
