mjg59_And you commented on it. Here.Jul 24 02:30
schestowitz-TRanyway, you stalked us here all dayJul 24 02:30
schestowitz-TRlooking for "dirt" opportunistiesJul 24 02:30

mjg59_schestowitz-TR: An easy thing for you to say here would be "Oh, right, I hadn't considered that - I understand why they would use this terminology"Jul 24 02:31
mjg59_But instead you become defensiveJul 24 02:32
schestowitz-TRnaa..Jul 24 02:32
schestowitz-TRanyway, back laterJul 24 02:32
schestowitz-TRreally have deadline due to bulletinJul 24 02:32

schestowitz-TReven in this channel it's just a like a minror one linerJul 24 02:32
schestowitz-TRyou cherry pick and dirt-digJul 24 02:33
schestowitz-TRwhich is pathetic and pettyJul 24 02:33
mjg59_I think you failing to understand that trans men get pregnant is actually pretty importantJul 24 02:37
schestowitz-TRI can assure you I'm busier than most people, and hard-working, I don't stalk IRC channels all day long. Might be indicative of need for psychotherapy. You could get a lot more done elsewhereJul 24 02:37
schestowitz-TRyou are changing the subjectJul 24 02:37

Techrights-sec2thanksJul 24 08:50
Techrights-sec2the update of the feeds and such needs to be automated.  Cron is not the Jul 24 08:50
Techrights-sec2way to go for that.  I wonder if wrapper scripts are the way to goJul 24 08:50
Techrights-sec2or if incron should be used to watch the whole /n hiearchy or something else.Jul 24 08:50
schestowitz-TRgmJul 24 08:53
schestowitz-TRyes, I was gonna say,Jul 24 08:53
schestowitz-TRit seems like adding update steps as a manual thing would increase overheadJul 24 08:53
schestowitz-TRmaybe not for a small site with few updates but one with 50+ updates per dayJul 24 08:53
schestowitz-TRwhere speed matters a lotJul 24 08:53
schestowitz-TRI've sent Marius some details, will check my email tonightJul 24 08:53
schestowitz-TRbtw, he can do pgp, as it's protonmailJul 24 08:53

Techrights-sec2gmJul 24 08:54
Techrights-sec2ackJul 24 08:54
Techrights-sec2Perhaps wrapper scripts are the way to go.Jul 24 08:54
Techrights-sec2However, I will test incron tooJul 24 08:56
Techrights-sec2By the way, the posts don't have the date in the body, I suppose they should.Jul 24 08:56
Techrights-sec2The date is in the URL and the metadata but not in the body textJul 24 08:56
schestowitz-TRI've noticed thatJul 24 08:56
schestowitz-TRthe URL says the dateJul 24 08:56
schestowitz-TRthe page does notJul 24 08:56
Techrights-sec2It might help a bit with Gemini to have the date also in the body textJul 24 08:57
Techrights-sec2Shoul it be yyyy-mm-dd (ISO) or just mm/dd or mmm dd ?  I think maybe theJul 24 08:57
Techrights-sec2last one is the least ambiguousJul 24 08:57
schestowitz-TRyear matters as well as it gives context, age of newsJul 24 08:58
schestowitz-TRsome sites say x "years ago"Jul 24 08:58
schestowitz-TRfor those who find the articlss and need to be reminded these may be well out of dateJul 24 08:58

schestowitz-TRif you can think of a  more effective one from a reader's POVJul 24 10:44
schestowitz-TRlike, it would be nioce is updated posts would have the update on TOP, then bubble up or get "bumped" to top of rss feedJul 24 10:44
schestowitz-TRas this is one approach to dealing with same story, many sources, coming at different times and adding upJul 24 10:44
schestowitz-TRmainstream "news" sites have a very poor handling or emerging, changing storiesJul 24 10:44
schestowitz-TRand then they turn to twitter etc. Jul 24 10:44
schestowitz-TRwhich is worseJul 24 10:44

Techrights-sec2partsJul 24 10:44
Techrights-sec2the scotland train incident was because the company decide not to notify itsJul 24 10:44

schestowitz-TRthat also vainly assumes people carry around tracking devices with "notifications" turned on, an "app", and "follow" the private companyJul 24 10:46

Techrights-sec2We can now show TM feed info by X recent entries and not just by dateJul 24 12:57
Techrights-sec2the date is not so useful if some time has passed, but is good if thereJul 24 12:57
Techrights-sec2are a lot of entries over a shorter timeJul 24 12:57
schestowitz-TRI'm not sure what good practice is for entry per feed, it probably depends on density of entries and length of eachJul 24 12:58
schestowitz-TRbut for people who refresh once a day ~50 latest should be enoughJul 24 12:58
schestowitz-TRsome detect duplicates based on titlte, some on datastamp and/or urlJul 24 12:58
schestowitz-TRthe idea is to make it visible again when a post gets updatedJul 24 12:58
schestowitz-TRwithout creating yet another (new) page Jul 24 12:58
Techrights-sec2I'm starting to worry that some combinatino of both methods might be bestJul 24 12:59
Techrights-sec2X records or since YYYYMMDD which ever is greater.Jul 24 12:59
Techrights-sec2So should the list in latest-news.htmlJul 24 12:59
Techrights-sec2show the date, too?Jul 24 12:59
Techrights-sec2Right now it is title and description.Jul 24 12:59
schestowitz-TRat the moment I am not even sure what to put under desc tbhJul 24 13:00
schestowitz-TRas we never had anything other than title, sometimes summary, then full textJul 24 13:00
schestowitz-TRbut the latter two were always the sdame and mergesJul 24 13:00
schestowitz-TR*mergedJul 24 13:00
Techrights-sec2title only is too terse for a feedJul 24 13:01
schestowitz-TRmaybe desc can be name of site, which camelcase file can help derive for suggestionsJul 24 13:02
schestowitz-TRand this way it says something more than headlineJul 24 13:02
schestowitz-TRalso in latest-newsJul 24 13:02
Techrights-sec2that'd not be so useful information , hovering over the link will showJul 24 13:04
Techrights-sec2the URL anywayJul 24 13:04
Techrights-sec2but I'm talking about the feed for TM itself as renderd as an HTML definitionJul 24 13:04
Techrights-sec2list (DL) in the file latest-news.html Jul 24 13:04
schestowitz-TRrianne would not like to write summaries and afaik linuxtoday and lxer just quote a portion from the article as the outlineJul 24 13:04
schestowitz-TRso for a site that linsk to other sites that field is an enigmaJul 24 13:04
Techrights-sec2ackJul 24 13:06
Techrights-sec2it   Jul 24 13:06
Techrights-sec2it's not so much an enigma but instead value added, a reason to follow TMJul 24 13:06
schestowitz-TRI wonder if the alga that inputs freeform text, tidied, from nano, can then derive something to be adopted for desc if desc is left blankJul 24 13:06
Techrights-sec2rather than just use the linked site's feed. Jul 24 13:07
Techrights-sec2It could, if there were some level of predictability about what ends up inJul 24 13:07

Techrights-sec2The description can be short, a one-liner.  It does add a lot of usefulness Jul 24 13:11
Techrights-sec2to the feed and the ability to work with the records to produce pages.Jul 24 13:11
schestowitz-TRif I understand, this shows up inJul 24 13:11
schestowitz-TRa) latest newsJul 24 13:11
schestowitz-TRb) rss feedsJul 24 13:11
schestowitz-TRc) not in the page?Jul 24 13:11
Techrights-sec2a) latest-news (inserted into each page above the footer)Jul 24 13:13
Techrights-sec2b) the Atom feedJul 24 13:13
Techrights-sec2c) the search engine results (iirc) for each post, if they get indexedJul 24 13:13
schestowitz-TRi seeJul 24 13:14
schestowitz-TR50 one liners a day is still a lot of lines to proofread ;-) and harder for rianneJul 24 13:14
schestowitz-TRmany pages are clusters of links correlated to one another for that dayJul 24 13:14
Techrights-sec2Yes, I understand.  The site can be done without them, I am for now presentingJul 24 13:16
Techrights-sec2the case for how they can be valuable.  Then the description for a linkJul 24 13:16
Techrights-sec2cluster would say more or less that.  There's no reason not to re-use Jul 24 13:16
Techrights-sec2such descriptions over and overJul 24 13:16
schestowitz-TRhere is an ideaJul 24 13:16
schestowitz-TRfor TR, I can add editorial comments to a lot more picksJul 24 13:16
schestowitz-TRand those would be some of the same comments that go as descriptions in TMJul 24 13:16
schestowitz-TRok, that would workJul 24 13:16
schestowitz-TRrianne can lead it blank sometimesJul 24 13:16
Techrights-sec2YesJul 24 13:19
Techrights-sec2It's something to consider and only "needs" to be a line.  Having that littleJul 24 13:19
Techrights-sec2bit of more information helps people know what's at the link shown and Jul 24 13:19
Techrights-sec2entices them to click, with more awareness than just random clickingJul 24 13:19
Techrights-sec2Here is an example, see the second entry in the dlJul 24 13:23

schestowitz-TRI am guessing rianne can leave "-" if she has nothing special to say or use some placeholder textJul 24 13:38
schestowitz-TRI am going to add half a dozen nodes shortlyJul 24 13:38
schestowitz-TRto exercise such a workflow Jul 24 13:38

schestowitz-TRin the day in techrights page I see some unicode was mishandled a little, at least as shown as htmlJul 24 13:39
schestowitz-TRI've added 3 nodes and am adding some more with descriptions nowJul 24 13:39
schestowitz-TRtried to refresh the pages, probably ran the wrong commands (outdated)Jul 24 13:39

schestowitz-TRso the issue might be at terminal/alpine/console/data entry/clipboardJul 24 13:47
schestowitz-TRI will try to pay close attentionJul 24 13:47

Techrights-sec2could be, I'm looking into some questions about itJul 24 13:52
Techrights-sec2it seems to get /into/ the database ok, so the problem must be in the otherJul 24 13:52

Techrights-sec2I should wrap it all in a scriptJul 24 15:03
schestowitz-TRthanks, now it shows up correctlyJul 24 15:09
schestowitz-TRwhat the old site cannot do is, bump updated posts in front page or rssJul 24 15:09
