The RSS feed (https://news.ycombinator.com/rss) comes into FreshRSS (https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS)

Usually just skim the comments to gather insight as quickly as possible, if there seems to be a strong signal with depth, I'll add the HN page to Pocket (https://getpocket.com) and check back later when I clear through all the backlog of interesting things

HN has replaced Reddit for me. I'm still reading Slashdot, two decades later, it usually just dupes HN.

Also Lobsters (https://lobste.rs) has some decent content, similar position in that it often dupes HN, but interesting regardless

Really enjoying TheLounge for IRC lately. FreshRSS as well.

Any recommendations for self hosted XMPP stuff?

regarding your first point, I believe you can make the address bar behave like you want simply by Edit->Preferences->Uncheck 'Provide Search Suggestions' and removing a result from your address bar results with shift-delete might also be what you're missing
>It should always be a person's #1 priority to live as long as possible.

I think your number one priority should be to avoid suffering.

If I'm understanding their findings correctly- https://sci-hub.tw/https://content.iospress.com/articles/jou...

It would seem that having dementia, depression, and traumatic brain injury would result in you having a younger brain?

Doesn't seem right
