Is there a "D weekly news" I could do an email subscription to?
Or at least a way to get notified by email when a new item appears on https://dlang.org/blog/ ?

There's http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.html which is unofficial but interesting and weekly. AFAIK there's no newsletter but it provides a RSS feed.

Otherwise I think the easiest is to use the fact that this forum isn't a forum but a newsgroup (hence available by mail) to subscribe to Announce. Blog entries in particular are announced there.

This Week in D linked above is great for a weekly summary.

To D Blog has an RSS feed:

http://dlang.org/blog/index.php/feed/

All D Blog posts are automatically shared on Twitter and Facebook:

https://twitter.com/D_Programming
https://www.facebook.com/dlang.org/

Info on subscribing to the newsgroups and mailing lists is available at:

https://www.digitalmars.com/NewsGroup.html

You’ll want digitalmars.D.announce for the Announce forum.

All thread-starting posts in Announce also go to the DLang Newsfeed Twitter:

This URL doesn't seem to work for me.

It redirects to:

https://dlang.org/blog/feed/

which gives "file not found"

And yet it works fine as an RSS feed!

Several pages on the official blog give code 404 even though they work. Your RSS reader probably just isn't checking the code, but the browser is.

These should all be fixed on the server... could be hurting seo too.

For me, the first link redirects to:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/OfficialDBlog

Got any examples? No one has reported this to me before and I haven’t encountered a 404 in a while.

Almost all of them!

Hit F12 to open browser tools and notice the network tab:

https://dlang.org/blog/2020/01/08/recent-d-compiler-releases/
https://dlang.org/blog/2020/01/04/dconf-2020-double-decker-edition/

and more. The HTML is displayed, but it has the 404 code so according to the http spec you are actually displaying it all as error pages!

I'm not getting any 404s in the network tab in Chrome's dev tools. Even on a reload. Most everything is 200, with a handful of 204s. A couple are 302 or 304, and there's one 101. Am I missing something?
