I wish there something like that for RSS feeds. That would be fantastic.

For news specifically, Google News and Ground.news both aggregate and cluster similar news articles.

I like start.me. It isn’t something to download but it’s a web page. The free service is a great start. I’ve been using it for years now

I like #newsblur too. I have paid for it for years now (though it is free).

What I like best about it is that it caches the text and images of the site so I don’t get all the ads etc.

Every year or so I go around looking at others but always go back.

At least on the Mac (bsdtar) you can extract single files out of a tar file.

E.g.,

Create the tar file:

tar cvzf pseudo.tgz pseudo/

Move to another directory

cd /tmp/tt

Extract a single file:

tar -xf ../pseudo.tgz pseudo/10481_2017.1069.png

You say PC, so might want to check the tar version you are using and see if there are extra parameters to do the file extraction.
