RSS feed icon (source: Wikipedia)

RSS feed icon (source: Wikipedia)

The main way I consume news is through RSS feeds using Feedly as reader (after Google killed one of their best products: Google Reader in 2013). Many web-site do not show an RSS link or RSS icon on their home pages or other pages.

Below samples of sites followed by steps on how to find RSS Feeds.

From local examples I encountered most didn’t show they had RSS feeds or had not RSS feed at all:

finding duplicates – voidtools forum

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/10/07

That feeling you have been living under a stone since 2014: [Wayback/Archive] finding duplicates – voidtools forum

1.4 Beta has both dupe: & sizedupe: functions.
(In the Index, you need to index the file size & also enable Fast size sort.)

You can combine them, something like:

> dupe: sizedupe: c: file:

Or even add a size to it:

> dupe: sizedupe: c: file: size:>2MB

Note that that finds file name AND (I believe its an AND) file size duplications – anywhere, not necessarily limited to C:, & also that name AND size are the only qualifications for “duplication”, as in files meeting that criteria may not be (byte-by-byte) “duplicates”.

A partial excuse is that these never made it to the changelog at [Wayback/Archive] www.voidtools.com/Changes.txt or [Wayback/Archive] www.voidtools.com/BetaChanges.txt.
