schestowitz-TR2am i correct that .old is the file before doing a diff with the previous day's file?Feb 09 11:27
schestowitz-TR2and that re-running the above script results in the same thing?Feb 09 11:27

techrightssecI would think that it is a worthy topic, just short of external articles.Feb 09 12:09
techrightssecIt's a kind of DRM but based on serial numbers or something simplifiedFeb 09 12:09
techrightssecThe threat is more the intent than the technology behind the threat.Feb 09 12:09
schestowitz-TR2worth posting the video about drm in batts as tr post?Feb 09 12:10
schestowitz-TR2might raises awareness and be citable larterFeb 09 12:10

schestowitz-TR2gonna add it nowFeb 09 12:14
schestowitz-TR2is it correct the scripti ran by accident just replicates what was already thereFeb 09 12:14
schestowitz-TR2and compared today to yesterday to cull duoes?Feb 09 12:14

schestowitz-TR2also, as odysee will be offline in a few yearsFeb 09 12:14
schestowitz-TR2is the video short enough to be worth making ogg for or webm for?Feb 09 12:14
schestowitz-TR2very little on www lasts even 10 yearsFeb 09 12:14
schestowitz-TR2googlevideo is offlineFeb 09 12:14
schestowitz-TR2we linked a lot to it when BN was youngFeb 09 12:14
schestowitz-TR2after feedburner gulag will possible burn blogspotFeb 09 12:14
schestowitz-TR2arson because no business modelFeb 09 12:15
techrightssecThe script makes an intitial run when the OPML is loaded.  Then if the scriptFeb 09 12:16
techrightssecis run with no options, it fetches only the updated feeds.Feb 09 12:16
techrightssecIf an OPML file is loaded, it overwrites any settings,  There is no caching Feb 09 12:16
techrightssecyet eitherFeb 09 12:16
schestowitz-TR2i meant the script in links@trFeb 09 12:20
schestowitz-TR2merge-daily-linksFeb 09 12:20
schestowitz-TR2i ran it by accident a couple of hours agoFeb 09 12:20
schestowitz-TR2btw, ircvery busy todayFeb 09 12:20
schestowitz-TR2and several channels have a lot more news in themFeb 09 12:20
schestowitz-TR2lik a ticker but with interaction and stuffFeb 09 12:20
schestowitz-TR2much better than before the hdd crashFeb 09 12:20
schestowitz-TR2i also made kde look and behave very nicelyFeb 09 12:20
techrightssecOh.  That's probably fine but let me check.  Feb 09 12:20
techrightssecYes, as long as there is the manual page in ~/Links/tmp/ the merge scriptFeb 09 12:20
techrightssecwill just re-run.  There is a slight risk of missing some automated feedsFeb 09 12:20
techrightssecif the feeds happen to change between runs or individual entries happen toFeb 09 12:20
techrightssecage out.  If the manual file is missing, then the script should just abortFeb 09 12:20
schestowitz-TR2i think i ran it a short time after it had initislly runFeb 09 12:30
schestowitz-TR2so should be safeFeb 09 12:30
schestowitz-TR2i compared old to currentFeb 09 12:30
schestowitz-TR2the reason it happened is,Feb 09 12:30
schestowitz-TR20:40am i lost connectionFeb 09 12:30

schestowitz-TR2relied on history(1)Feb 09 12:30
schestowitz-TR2the computers here always have about 15 ssh sessions between themFeb 09 12:30
schestowitz-TR2hence, major annoyance when connection drops at the mainsFeb 09 12:30
schestowitz-TR2aside from needing to chase potentially missing irc activityFeb 09 12:30
