your mime type is showing

hi. rss club showed up in my feeds today, and then i remembered that this feed is linked there and i haven’t used it in a while. and then i clicked on the feed and realized that nginx was rendering the feed with a mime type of text/xml rather than application/rss+xml. so i fixed that.

text/xml will likely tell your browser to render the feed as an xml in the browser. whereas application/rss+xml, application/atom+xml, and so on, will tell your browser to use whatever application is configured to be your feedreader. on my ios device, for example, clicking a link to this feed now results in a dialog modal. “open this feed in reeder?” it asks. this is much nicer than the browser rendering a fucking unstyled text file.

i noticed some other rss club feeds have similar issues, so if you’re reading this and your a clubber, do consider checking out your feeds.

on my main feed (html, rss) i succeeded in my informal goal of posting one-ish thing per month in 2025. i intend to keep it up, and maybe i’ll even throw some more stuff in this antisocial feed this year, too.

bye.
