My initial reaction to reading this is not "oh great analogy", it's "please have higher standards for your quality of living"

New comment by looseleaftea in "Create OPML Feed of Starred GitHub Repos"

I've been using my FreshRSS feed more and more, and found that I wanted my starred GitHub repos' releases to show up in my feed. GitHub has a lot of options for subscribing to individual feeds for repositories, but as far as I could tell, has no great way to do this dynamically for all of your starred repos.

So, I put together this repo that uses OpenTofu to create an AWS Lambda function that queries a GitHub user's starred repositories and returns an OPML file containing all of those repos' Atom feeds. Now I just have to press the refresh OPML button on FreshRSS and it will hit the Lambda function and update my feed. Maybe a little overkill, but hey, now I don't need to manually generate and upload an OPML file everytime I star a new repo.

Hopefully other fellow RSS sickos here find it helpful!
