schestowitz-TRso far i have not noticed any "lost file" from vonick that i truly need and had not backed upJan 31 16:50
schestowitz-TRmost were disposableJan 31 16:50
schestowitz-TRhaving said that, the bash wrapper for supplementary links was lostJan 31 16:50
schestowitz-TRit would be super  helpful to have that back or its list of feeds, which iirc is in git,Jan 31 16:50
schestowitz-TRadded to the main automated cycleJan 31 16:50
schestowitz-TRas atm i use very offball python script to help me track foss blogsJan 31 16:50
schestowitz-TRi made 4 long videos todayJan 31 16:50
schestowitz-TRi can do even more in the future, but am still adpating a bit and adding automationJan 31 16:50
techrigthssecCan you refresh my memory as to what the supplementary links script did?Jan 31 16:50
techrigthssecFWIW in the latest post there was a link to a twitter thread which mayJan 31 16:50
techrigthssecvanish at any time.  Jan 31 16:50
schestowitz-TRthe tweets were copied onto irc logs for todyJan 31 16:54
schestowitz-TRafter i had received a tip-offJan 31 16:54
schestowitz-TRthe video shows all the tweetsJan 31 16:54
schestowitz-TRthe suppmenetary stuff hada list of linux-related rss feedsJan 31 16:54
schestowitz-TRi had the machine, with debian 10, configured to scan these for updatesJan 31 16:54
schestowitz-TRthen, the output would be served to kateJan 31 16:54
schestowitz-TRyou already coded some 'logic' to pick and abbreviate the relevant fields in the xml payloadsJan 31 16:54
schestowitz-TRthis was a small step towards discarding the rss GUIsJan 31 16:54
schestowitz-TRa bigger step is handling a massive collection of rss URLs (or atom/df)Jan 31 16:54
schestowitz-TR*rdfJan 31 16:54
techrigthssecThere is a daily-supplementary.feeds file in Git, should the script justJan 31 16:55
techrigthssecfetch those feeds?  The wrapper script would just feed daily-supplementary.feedsJan 31 16:55
techrigthssecinto rss-since-scraper.pl one feed at a time and then aggregate the results. Jan 31 16:55
techrigthssecRDF is too complicated but Atom and RSS are both quite manageable Jan 31 16:55
schestowitz-TRmy guess is, the file was never enrolled into git because you justchanged the other fileJan 31 16:59
schestowitz-TRchanged input filename and served it over the piJan 31 16:59
schestowitz-TRhaving both perl ANDpython serve stories would be awesomeJan 31 16:59
schestowitz-TRi realise now how much i have pictures in the feedsJan 31 16:59
schestowitz-TRit's like reading s book that leaves no room for imaginationJan 31 16:59
schestowitz-TRand tries to visually impose everythingJan 31 16:59
schestowitz-TRthe current python stuff is failing fatally on some feedsJan 31 16:59
