News Aggregators

• DistroWatch — Linux distro release news and a weekly newsletter. Also has a decent list of linux/open source focused podcasts.
• Slashdot — As old as the internet, has changed hands too many times to count and is run by idiots. However the community that visits/comments on the articles are top notch.
• SoylentNews — A fork of Slashdot from early 2014 (the infamous "Slashdot Beta" era). Good, but much smaller community.

• Phoronix — free and open-source software news, benchmarks, and more!
• TechDirt — Focuses more on legal and copyright issues than general technology.
• The Reigster — Important stories reported with a []:Category:Shitposting |loose]] feel. The security section is particularly fun.
• TorrentFreak — Focus on torrent and copyright issues. If your tracker is down, these guys will know why.
