The bug in jenny that @aelaraji found:

Jenny has to look for the metadata fields, it must find the # prev = ... line. To do so, I naively wrote something along these lines:


for line in content.splitlines():
    if line.startswith('# prev = '):
        ...


Problem is, we use \\u2028 a lot in twtxt feeds and Python interprets those as line separators as well. That’s not what we want here. Jenny must only split at a \\n.

Now @prologic had a quote/copy of some of his metadata fields in a twt. Like so:


# prev = foo bar


Perfectly legitimate, but now jenny found the # prev = *twice* (once in the actual header, once in a twt), didn’t know what to do, and thus did not fetch the archived feeds. 🤦

Should be fixed in this commit: https://www.uninformativ.de/git/jenny/commit/6e8ce5afdabd5eac22eae4275407b3bd2a167daf.html
