i'm on ~amd, is this related to why you don't see
it?

from `/var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/package.mask`:

```
# Michał Górny  (2020-04-19)
# Both packages are unmaintained and have unresolved bugs.  stfl
# is stuck on Python 3.6 and newsboat is its only revdep.
# Removal in 30 days.  Bug #718286.
dev-libs/stfl
net-news/newsboat
```

i highly appreciate mgorny's work though.  thanks
to him, now i'm aware of the shortcomings, and
looks like i'm now headed to get me a better rss
reader.

also thanks to those who helped me in this thread.
highly appreciated.  i'm now trying your ideas,
and very optimistic i'll find a better rss reader
setup.

No, you're right, it does lack S.S.L. I just haven't noticed it before since all
the feeds to which I subscribe are rather esoteric or old.  For example, all  of
the B.B.C.\ News feeds (created in 2011) are without S.S.L. [1]

It was discussed at [2], but nothing ever happened.

Snownews seems to lack SSL support completely, or am I wrong?  The great
majority of feeds I read are https:// URLs.

Really?  Masked as in package.mask?  When?  I don't see that.
I use it too, and it is better than the alternatives IMO.
