Does anyone have experience with tools for locally archiving the web, like Archivebox for example?
I found myself on the Archivebox website earlier today. After reading some of it, that's the kind of program I could use. The ephemerous nature of the web is bothersome, so much content is lost...
I found myself on the Archivebox website earlier today. After reading some of it, that's the kind of program I could use. The ephemerous nature of the web is bothersome, so much content is lost for one reason or another. Archivebox seems to be one of the most popular tools, and it can automatically mirror my locally downloaded website to archive.org, which is great. It seems complex though, maybe more complex than I usually tolerate these days. Which is why I am asking if anyone has personal experience with Archivebox or other similar programs. Do you find them useful and reliable? Have you ever found in your local storage a webpage that you really liked, which was gone from the web? How's your setup?
Thank ;)

A year or two ago when the decay of social media became a popular topic of discussion, there was a lot of talk about a resurgence in the use of RSS readers. My impression recently was that the RSS renaissance hadn't really materialised in the end, but I realised that if it had it would be pretty hard to tell.
So, Tildes users: do you use an RSS reader currently? If so, is that a recent decision? Tell me about your experience.

Edit: Apache OR Nginx? Could someone fix my title - I posted without proofing.
My wife is having half decent success with ecommerce. She's doing great on Etsy and eBay, and now her website is starting to pick up.
It's currently hosted on 20i who pride themselves on being an excellent WordPress and Woocommerce provider, with a half decent CDN. In reality, I think it's pretty shit for what you pay for.
I'm tempted to either grab a VPS or even go as far as a bare metal at a CoLo with public IP and run the full stack myself. If I do, shall I go Apache or Nginx? I've done both and I'm pretty agnostic. OS would be Debian.
Before I go to this length though, does anyone know of a fair priced but good performing Woocommerce platform? She's got hundreds of hours already, the plugins and over 300 products listed, so I'm loathe to move to a different solution, however, I'm not ruling it out.
The reason to not all in on Etsy or eBay is the 25% cut they take of everything. Using a personal site and Stripe payment platform means it's more 1% + 20p for processing.
Ideas, thoughts and suggestions please?

I have been having a lot of trouble finding a digital clock. I don't even know where to ask for recs, I tried a couple subreddits but there is no /r/digitalclocks so I'm trying a more general place here and maybe someone can help?
My requirements (I'm in the USA so that's where the time finding needs to happen):
- It autosets the time based on the radio signal
- It automatically detects DST
- Backup battery so if I get a power failure it doesn't lose the time
- The time is the only thing on the display. (Although, this seems to be the hardest one to find, so, if it also shows the temperature or something, that's ok, as long as the time is a lot bigger than anything else)
- Not willing to spend more than $50 on a clock
- Needs to be LED not LCD, i.e. I want to be able to see the time in a dark room without pressing a light-up button or anything
Additional bonuses:
- If it has a rainbow display
- If it has a USB charging port
- Big numbers, like at least 1.5" tall
I don't care about the alarm or any overhead projection features.
If you have a digital clock that you love that meets these requirements (or at least mostly does) I would like to hear about it!! Thanks!!
