RSS is apparently 25 years old today. I am a comparative newcomer to it having written my first RSS reader 20 years ago.
So I have my own hosted RSS reader and also run a hosted Podcast reading service.
For 10+ years I have been fighting with feeds that are hosted behind Cloudflare that block access to server-side crawlers.
