Is it possible to get an RSS feed from an imageboards catalog or a specified thread? I've only recently started exploring RSS and it's made my life mountains easier. Post general RSS tips ITT.

Tip 1: Delete your youtube account and use RSS to follow them.
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID_GOES_HERE
https://www.bitchute.com/feeds/rss/channel/CHANNEL_NAME_GOES_HERE
Tip 2: Then directly use your video player of choice with mpv to watch latest videos of your youtube subscriptions.
Tip 3: Set a cronjob to check new feeds and download articles automatically.
Tip 4: Have a customizable status bar that shows new feed articles
Tip 5: Maybe include notify-send to get notification for new articles.
Tip 6: Use a browser addon that automatically detects RSS and atom feeds on a website
Tip 7: Switch to a desktop RSS client if you're using a shitty browser addon.

Oh, and regarding your question, write a shell script that converts HTML to RSS and host it on your localhost.

Thanks, I'll look into this.

For example on h8chan you can get a feed for a board like http://oxwugzccvk3dk6tj.onion/tech/index.rss

Sharing my newsboat configs, in case anyone is interested:

$ cat ~/.newsboat/config

browser "~/.newsboat/newsboat_browser.sh"
download-retries 4
download-timeout 60
use-proxy yes
proxy-type socks5h
proxy 127.0.0.1:9050
user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0"
history-limit 0
keep-articles-days 14
reload-threads 8
text-width 72
macro m set browser "echo %u | xclip"; open-in-browser ; set browser "~/.newsboat/newsboat_browser.sh"

$ cat ~/.newsboat/newsboat_browser.sh

#/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/links -g -no-connect


Regarding the urls, see >>1069. For channels with names, using this instead:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=xxxxxxxxx

You can use the same url, but from "invidio.us" (including the hidden service).
Vimeo also has rss:

https://vimeo.com/xxxxxxxx/videos/rss

For twitter, use:

http://twitrss.me/twitter_user_to_rss/?user=xxxxxxxx

Suggestions for ~/.newsboat/urls:
https://firmwaresecurity.com/feed/ "~firmware_security"
https://www.librecores.org/planet/atom.xml
http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=rss "~undeadly"
https://inks.tedunangst.com/rss "~inks_tedu"

>Tip 3: Set a cronjob to check new feeds and download articles automatically.
This will just waste bandwidth. Just press Shift-R everytime you feel like updating.
>Tip 5
Annoying.
>Tip 6
Unnecessary. Just go to the website html and search for "feed" or "rss". Normally you'll find it there.
>Tip 2
With the config above, you can copy the link to clipboard pressing ",+m" (comma plus "m"). Then you just need to use mpv to play it or put this on your ~/.config/i3/config:

bindsym F3 exec torsocks mpv --pause=yes $(xclip -o)

Then:
- New video on youtube channel
- Go above it, press ",+m"
- Press F3 and done. It will open the mpv window.

There's probably a way to automate this, but this is easy enough for me.
You can also open the article with Links, pressing "o" key.

I use elfeed (a GNU Emacs package) for handling RSS. I have Emacs configured so that when I open up youtube links from my RSS reader it knows to open them in mpv instead of a web browser.
