schestowitzNot you, me...Jan 08 04:37
schestowitzThank you so much for reporting this!!!Jan 08 04:37
schestowitzSo for more fussy clients/agents such as TB this was fatal, whereas I did not catch it at my end (quiteRSS is rather fault-tolerant).Jan 08 04:37
schestowitzOur RSS feeds were thus broken for 11 hours (a phoronix item had a bad symbol near it).Jan 08 04:37
schestowitzI suppose upon a refresh you'll get everything posted since then, including the culprit, as the issue didn't last long enough.Jan 08 04:37
schestowitzIf you did not report it to me, I'd not see it and it would not be corrected, so thank you!Jan 08 04:37

schestowitzIt's back to normal I think... we'll know in a minute if the cron job works OKJan 08 05:09
schestowitzOn ruxmachines VM I checked roots and BN's crontab. It didn't successfuly dumped into /home and messages in /var/log/ offers no clues.Jan 08 05:09
schestowitzOK, so moving the local VM backup to a less privileged account seems to have caused nothing to be run. Log files have not yet explained to me why. Backup is yesterday, cron job overdue for today (4:39)Jan 08 05:16

schestowitzTurns out that >silently< the #tuxmachines RSS feed had been broken for 11 hours (until someone reported this to me and I fixed it half an hour ago). My RSS software overcame the issue and did not detect it. How to better have such things automatically reported?Jan 08 05:24
