I am not aware of Feedly, but for RSS feeds and specific content I want, nothing more, no infinite scrolls, I use TheOldReader.com. (This is not a marketing ploy 😁)

Isn’t it ironic that when Evan Williams left Twitter to found Medium, he intended to remedy the then prevalent attention-grabbing syndrome?

Perhaps we can only blame the Capitalism as Karl Max observed in the The Communist Manifesto: “The bourgeoisie has stripped of its halo every occupation hitherto honoured and looked up to with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage labourers”.

The network traffic economy has also stripped words of its halo and dignity...

It seems to me that writing on Medium is slightly different from blogging. When blogging, you can write about anything you like and stop writing at any point, all in a casual way. Writing on Medium, on the contrary, requires your article to be somewhat well-structured and arguments well-developed -- similar to, say, writing an op-ed article for a newspaper column.

I never used Google Reader, but the upside to the endless scrolling is increased exposure. You can discover new things easily! Not to mention you can also subscribe to individual authors (I believe).

Hi,Yihui
Could you enlarge the font-size in your css~ maybe @media is necessary.
I read your articles in 1980px screen but it's really too small, I think. 180% larger may be better like Medium.

When you use a third-party service, even if it is free, there is a potential problem: they might be selling you and your content indirectly.

When you use a static blog host by yourself, even if it is cool, there is a potential problem: they might be selling you and your content indirectly.

too much things you need to consider:

除非你自己是一个非常资深的信息安全从业人员，并且你对“服务器安全加固”这个细分领域非常熟悉，并且你对 Server 所用的操作系统的安全特点非常熟悉。

如果你自己维护 server，需要时刻关注各种安全新闻，掌握你使用的操作系统和软件是否曝光新的安全漏洞，了解最新出现的入侵手法，诸如此类。一旦出现安全漏洞，你需要第一时间进行升级/维护。另外，你还要定期进行安全检查/安全审计

If you were so much into google reader, I was, theoldreader.com might be your cup of tea.

已经2020年了，高分屏和操作系统貌似还没有完美适配，默认的字号看起来总是偏小。所以字号大的一个好处或许是可以适应不同的高分屏，使读者较顺畅地阅读？顺便我想问下，你是如何决定一篇日志发表在中文页面还是英文页面的呢？我原以为你的中文页面是生活相关，而英文页面是工作相关，但显然我误解了。
