  • How are you selecting feeds to download? If you use a cloud/self hosted RSS service you can get a feed of articles you star. From there you can use a desktop feed reader to download the starred feed to your kindle:

    1. Calibre can download news articles as .epub files, and supports transferring them to the kindle via USB. It can extract webpage text from non full-content feeds in a customizable way with Python.

    2. KOreader’s RSS feature stores feed items as .epub files as well, but it’s not as customizable. It does support full text extraction, but you don’t get any options to customize the output as far as I can tell.












  • ATAK would work, but you’d need a TAK server to share location data with other devices. FreeTAK is nice. Though it’s a bit much if all you’re trying to do is share location among family and don’t need a whole-ass TACNET lol.

    Otherwise Owntracks might fit the bill better. It hooks up to a MQTT network and you can use something like node-red to pretty easily pop that into a dashboard map if you’re not running something like Home Assistant.

    Only thing I’m not sure about with Owntracks is the list of location points, but you could use Tasker or something to publish the coordinates to a different MQTT topic than the one your phone is posting to.
