Feed Health

Posted at — Nov 11, 2026

Auto-generated from my RSS pipeline. Last run: 2026-11-11 12:07 UTC.

I read 83 feeds on a 4-hour cron. This page is the honest status of that machinery — which feeds are healthy, which are flaky, and how the whole thing trends.

Right now

83/83 feeds OK this run
99.7% average uptime across the last 30 runs
~21 new items per run on average
Tier split this run: 0 signal / 10 medium / 0 archive

Per-feed reliability

Sorted worst-first (lowest uptime, then slowest). Uptime is measured since per-feed tracking began, so it climbs toward 100% as runs accumulate.

Why this exists

A feed reader is only as good as its feeds, and feeds rot quietly — a domain lapses, a blog migrates, an endpoint starts 404ing — without ever announcing it. Tracking per-feed reliability over time means I notice the rot instead of silently losing a source. The “last error” column tells rot apart from flakiness: a steady http_404/http_410 means the feed is gone (fix or drop it); an intermittent ETIMEDOUT usually means the host rate-limits or blocks datacenter IPs (not my bug, not fixable my end — just noise to tolerate). Lobsters is the standing example of the latter.
