Make Less Data: Self-Host Miniflux Feed Reader
This is the first in a series about self-hosted services that you can run yourself in order for you to be less of a product of other companies. This means you will be creating less marketable data for these companies and likely saving money in the process.
The shutdown of Google Reader years ago sent ripples across the internet as there was now room for competition in the form of small, paid feed reading services like Feedbin. Having been a customer of Feedbin for several years and being happy with it, I nevertheless decided to explore options for self hosting an RSS reader service as an exercise of being more self sufficient. It is even more incentive that as more apps and services become subscription-based, I wanted to reduce my growing number of recurring software subscriptions as much as possible.
