Setup a news feed inside of Emacs using ~elfeed~[fn:1], an Emacs web feeds client.

+ Add some subreddits, mostly about ~linux~, ~emacs~ and ~org-mode~

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package elfeed
  :commands (elfeed elfeed-update)
  :custom (elfeed-feeds (quote
                          (("https://hexdsl.co.uk/rss.xml")
                           ("https://lukesmith.xyz/rss.xml")
                           ("https://friendo.monster/rss.xml")
                           ("https://chrishayward.xyz/index.xml")
