The `barf` project was built on Linux and was catered towards Linux users. The core of the project will remain focused on Linux/GNU tools, but that doesn't mean MacOS needs to be left out in the cold.
-There are some very minor changes you'll need to make to your default `sed` and `date` paths if you plan to run barf on MacOS.
-
## Download Packages
This walkthrough assumes that you already have [homebrew](https://brew.sh/) installed on your machine.
You will need to install the GNU versions of both `date` and `sed` in order to avoid breaking things when `barf` tries to build.
-
brew install coreutils
brew install gnu-sed
-
-## Setting `gsed` and `gdate` as Default
-
-Now run the following in a terminal shell:
-
- sudo ln -fs /opt/homebrew/bin/gsed /usr/local/bin/sed
- sudo ln -fs /opt/homebrew/bin/gdate /usr/local/bin/date
-
-and add the following to your `.bash_profile` file:
-
- export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
-
-Reload your `bash` instance and everything should work as intended!
+Now everything should work as intended!

After that, everything should work perfectly fine when building!

+# Quality of Life Improvements
+
+2024-06-06
+
+I haven't circled back to `barf` in quite a bit of time, so I'm happy to announce a small update mainly focused on quality of life improvements! I'll keep things brief and get right into the core changes:
+
+**Automatic detection of your operating system (supports Linux, macOS and OpenBSD currently)**
+
+* `barf` now checks your current OS and sets aliases accordingly
+* this removes the need to hard-set your own aliases or run syslinks
+
+**Added a semantically valid RSS feed**
+
+* `barf` initially launched with Atom support only, now a separate RSS feed is generated at build time
+
+**Removed hardcoded feed links from `header.html`**
+
+* You now only need to set your main domain at the top of the core `barf` file.
+
+That's it really! I've also updated the original blog posts about setting up `barf` on macOS and OpenBSD to reflect these changes.
+
+Cheers!
