Stay up to date with RSS

Honestly, who wants to constantly scour I2P forums, blogs and websites looking for new posts? And then there are the frequent interruptions when loading the pages. Something robust is needed here, something that does the work for us unobtrusively in the background.

The website planeta.i2p - a web-based news feed aggregator - does some of the work for us. It collects all possible I2P feeds and presents the short descriptions from them clearly arranged in a list and tags them. And planeta.i2p itself can also be included as a feed in the local feed reader. It couldn't be more convenient.

planeta.i2p: http://planeta.i2p/
Atom feed: http://planeta.i2p/atom.xml


By the way, also this forum can be followed by feed. With this URL you get an overview of all new posts: http://discuss.i2p/app.php/feed

Modern web browsers like Firefox no longer show whether websites offer RSS feeds. The "Feedbro Reader" has jumped into this gap. This browser extension searches for feeds on instigation and offers a selection (RSS/Atom). The feed URLs can be copied to the clipboard and taken from there by other programs, or they can be imported directly into Feedbro as a reader. You can find the extension as usual at Mozilla.

The combination of an independent local solution and one or more external collection points is the best way to keep an eye on things.

Another reason for an own feed reader is, forum software like this one from discuss.i2p filters out a lot in the default settings. If you search here for the tags RSS or I2P, for example, you won't find anything.

Possible data leak due to misconfigured software. Those who don't route all network traffic through I2P or Tor should be wary of redirects like those found on planeta.i2p. The following URL triggers a DNS request because the domain extension is hidden:

Code: Select all
