What's your non Reddit "go-to" for IT/Tech News these days?

[-]

Raumarik@reddit

I like clean no BS

http://brutalist.report

[-]

WALL-G@reddit

Came here to recommend this too. I've discovered so many new and interesting sites because of it.

[-]

Fraktyl@reddit

Wow, Slashdot is still around. I feel old.

[-]

KareemPie81@reddit

All my OG sites are ad supported AI dribble now. Mostly use Reddit but then you have to deal with Redditors so I’m thinking of just being done with IT and maybe become a coconut farmer

[-]

fuzzentropy2@reddit

I always think about Bill's Bikini Bimbo Beer and Bait Shop.

I'll sell the beer and ice at the counter and the girls will be scooping up the minnows..

I know if that was a thing, which bait shop I would go to when going with the guys fishing at 6am.

(I know is very misogynistic, and wouldn't do that. Just a joke)

[-]

KareemPie81@reddit

Reminds me of that dumb Ron Schneider movie when he makes the girl scoop fish out of the tank to see tittys

[-]

fahque@reddit

I'm pretty sure that's deuce bigalow.

[-]

fuzzentropy2@reddit

Haven't seen the movie, but that is the general idea..

[-]

Fallingdamage@reddit

r/sysadmin, r/cybersecurity, r/technology, r/networking are my go-to's. If something is going on thats big enough that I should care, 10 other redditors have already posted about it.

[-]

FreeAnss@reddit

Drivel*

You’re thinking of basketball, which is actually fun

[-]

KareemPie81@reddit

Well at least we know I didn’t use AI to write my comment

[-]

FreeAnss@reddit

Damn straight! 😂 I will take mistakes over bull any day

[-]

Sea_Wind3843@reddit

I'm with you. I would like to farm bananas because that is the direction my mental state is heading in this field of work.

[-]

KareemPie81@reddit

Maybe we can collab - some sort of coconut and banana social mixer ?

[-]

Deezul_AwT@reddit

/r/coconuthate would like a word with you

RandomThrowAways0@reddit

Slashdot used to be my go-to back in the day. Without as much free time, I skim the TLDR newsletters.

https://tldr.tech/

[-]

RMS-Tom@reddit

I signed up for this recently, and every email was really boring and AI orientated, so I hit unsubscribe, which didn't unsubscribe me

[-]

They have different newsletters for AI, cybersecurity, and programming. If you signed up for the "general" one youre going to get a lot of AI-related stuff because it includes programming topics, and AI is what's hot right now.

[-]

Substantial-Motor-21@reddit

Wow Slashdot, that some old vibes here !

[-]

er1catwork@reddit

I enjoy those every morning as well. It’s not often I’ll click through to read an article though…

[-]

EscapeFacebook@reddit

Dead internet in full swing I just have to get it from everywhere at this point.

[-]

Fallingdamage@reddit

I just like to hang out in r/sysadmin. When a company breaks their product you're all in full meltdown. I just lurk and wait to see what someone reports it fixed.

[-]

EscapeFacebook@reddit

Yeah, lurking Tech subs is about the only thing you can do now.

[-]

pangapingus@reddit

Ars Technica and Hacker News

[-]

Brwdr@reddit

Ars Technica as a paying subscriber, over paying even just because it is to much better than everything else.

Lots of other sites but quality is not there so it is infrequent. I never get anything of value from Reddit. Reddit is mindless mostly, lots of bad information, mis-infomation, and general late or lacks details. But it's better than any other social media at the moment, but that's a very low bar. I'm here to watch people implode.

[-]

badaccount99@reddit

https://news.ycombinator.com/ AKA "Hacker News"

It's like Reddit but just for tech stuff. Some of it is sysadmin/devops related, some of it is just interesting science type stuff.

[-]

AgentPailCooper@reddit

Hacker News has been my go-to for years now, definitely second this

[-]

Automatic_You6499@reddit

[-]

LeTrolleur@reddit

I do enjoy reading BOFH from time to time.

A personal favourite is the one where BOFH is running interception against the boss while PFY shreds some damning documents.

I also enjoyed the releases during covid.

[-]

hasthisusernamegone@reddit

I used to read this one religiously, but the constant snark got exhausting.

[-]

Automatic_You6499@reddit

Yeah, it’s a thing for sure. I appreciate the critical approach, but it’s best in small doses

[-]

Redhawks83@reddit

Something came up from The Register in my newsfeed a couple of months ago and I read it. Since then my Pixel has decided it's my favorite IT news site ... so I read of lot from there.

[-]

bobmlord1@reddit

My Google news feed actually does a pretty good job. That and a bunch of tech YouTube channel

[-]

FreeAnss@reddit

Such as?

[-]

bobmlord1@reddit

Android Authority, The Verge, Cnet, LTT, Explaining Computers, Jeff Geerling, Engadget, ifixit, Mac Address, Short Circuit, Techquickie, Techlinked, JayzTwoCents, and The Verge I'm all subscribed to in addition the homepage recommends tech stuff frequently based on my liked videos (I have watch history turned off).

[-]

FreeAnss@reddit

Thx

[-]

cbass377@reddit

slashdot.org and www.theregister.com are my go tos for general IT / Tech news.

[-]

spuckthew@reddit

I don't really seek out IT "news" at all tbh. If I want to know something, it's usually related to a thing I'm working on and I'll do research as and when, but I typically just get all my info from the trifecta that is Reddit, Spiceworks, and Stack Overflow anyway.

Actually in fairness, I do watch a few tech YouTube channels, but it's more consumer tech than IT.

[-]

dcutts77@reddit

I started using Feedly.ai since the beginning of the year to get away from some nagging news story that can go unmentioned... but go and make a tech one and add various blogs like bleepingcomputer and the like, and it's a pretty great way to digest the news. I have never really used RSS feeds before, but I really got it this year.

[-]

username17charmax@reddit

I used to read a lot of sites or spend a lot of time on feedly but a lot of it is affiliated product reviews or the same junk now. I subscribed to some pretty good newsletters that have been mentioned already. Realizing a lot of those newsletters are just ai generated, I put together a simple ai agent to build me a newsletter of all the topics, vendors, and other things my teams support at my work, and geopolitical events that could adversely affect our organization, and recommended talking points (if any) on all that. I also have a separate one that looks for cves and will email and send a teams message to one of our channels for any high/critical vulns. Lastly I have a more frequent one that will detect rising trends on reddit or downdetector for any major service, system, or network outages.

[-]

giantrobothead@reddit

Ars and 404 Media. I'm a subscriber to both.

[-]

eviano56@reddit

Slashdot!

[-]

iruber1337@reddit

When the website looks like it was done on vim thirty years ago with no stylesheet, I know I’m with my people.

[-]

xCharg@reddit

The concept of "checking news" is foreign to me.

If there's something important - it's everywhere and it's impossible to miss.

If it's not important - why care at all

[-]

Sk1rm1sh@reddit

Algorithmically ranked content tends more towards the same / similar content being broadcast at a high rate with comparatively little breadth of source material.

Sometimes it's nice to pick & choose what you would like to read.

[-]

xCharg@reddit

I guess. Not my thing though.

davy_crockett_slayer@reddit

Are Technica, Bleeping Computer, or The Register.

13_letters@reddit

I still visit Krebsonsecurity at least a few times a month.

[-]

wicktron@reddit

YC HN and Techmeme for me mostly

[-]

oubeav@reddit

ArsTechnica has been a favorite of mine for many years.

[-]

HitmanCodename47@reddit

Ycombinator or hacker news is pretty good. It's a wide scope though, not always "job" pertinent.

[-]

shaggydog97@reddit

https://www.phoronix.com/ is still as good as ever... Heavily linux and open source focused.

[-]

dnev6784@reddit

Hacker News in the morning. Then a handful of YouTube folks covering the topics I like on subjects like home labs, virtualization, twit with Leo Laporte and his gang of tech enthusiasts, etc.

[-]

Wonder_Weenis@reddit

I follow Joseph Cox (404 media), ars (mostly for dan goodin), Catalin Cimpanu (Risky.biz) newsletter

Then you've got Kevin Beaumont aka goss, his security posts are always gold.

Bleeping computer has already been mentioned, but yes.

I just started building a couple new rss feeds, and a bluesky follow list. Gonna start actually splitting things out into people, tools, patches, network, etc

just started dorking around with bluesky, I am not going to ingest my feed from there, but run my own pds server... so I guess pm if you want a custom handle?

also r/purplesec often has good tools posted

[-]

Tech4dayz@reddit

Most places I used to get news have largely turned into click bait nonsense over the years, only place that's remained consistent is ycombinator's hackernews, and arstechnica is still alright most of the time, but they really only cover stuff related to the biggest tech firms and global tech news, you'll never read something technical there.

[-]

arvidsem@reddit

Seconding ArsTechnica, though I agree that they are a shadow of what they once were.

Breaking news is either this subreddit or Bluesky.

[-]

jstuart-tech@reddit

Australian focused but https://www.itnews.com.au/ is pretty good

[-]

chaosxq@reddit

Bleeping Computer is good sometimes
