Bug description

Unable to fetch my blog posts from my dev.to profile for Latest Blog Posts section on about page

How to reproduce the bug

# External sources.
# If you have blog posts published on medium.com or other external sources,
# you can display them in your blog by adding a link to the RSS feed.
external_sources:
  - name: dev
    rss_url: https://dev.to/feed/[myusername]

In the _config.yml file I have setup the rss url for my dev.to account. The build is failing when I run 'docker compose up' and shows the error. I have verified my rss feed using curl command and XML is properly received. Please look into it. Thankyou.

Hey, I’ve been able to reproduce this locally and I’d like to work on a fix. I’ll open a PR once I have a patch ready.

I have encountered a similar issue with substack.com. The thing is, it's protected by cloudflare. The XML error is because what the github action worker gets from the site, instead of a valid RSS feed, is a "Your page will be loaded shortly" or similar HTML. I'll watch this issue because if you solve it, it may potentially solve my issue also.
