@mckinley Thank you! I didn't even know about signing and encrypting XML documents. Right, RSS is a little bit messy.

Unfortunately, the autodiscovery document in one of your linked resources does not exist anymore. What annoys me in Atom is the distinction between <id> and <link>. I always want my URL also to be my ID, so I have to duplicate that – unnecessarily in my opinion.

Also, never found a good explanation why I should add <link rel="self" … /> to my feeds. I just do, but I don't understand why. The W3C Feed Validation Service says:

> […] This value is important in a number of subscription scenarios where often times the feed aggregator only has access to the content of the feed and not the location from which the feed was fetched.

This just sounds like a very questionable bandaid to bad software architecture. Why would the feed parser need access to the feed URL at this stage? And if so, why not just pass down the input source? Just doesn't make sense to me.

Also, I just noticed that I reference the http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/ namespace, but don't use it in most of my feeds. Gotta fix that. Must have copied that from my yfav feed without paying attention what I'm doing.

Your article made me reread the Atom spec and I found out, that I can omit the <author> in the <entry> when I specify a global <author> at <feed> level. Awesome! Will do that as well and thus reduce the feed size.

Holy crap, this was bloody amazing! Left shortly after five o'clock this morning. The full moon was illuminating everthing nicely. Saw plenty of satellites again and, even better, two shooting stars. Two! Fucking awesome! The forest was dead silent, except for an owl tu-whit tu-whooing. Super cool. Walking through the fog patch was very nice, it looked unbelievably beautiful with the moon light. There was just no chance getting this on photo.

And then watching the incredible sunrise from the top of my backyard mountain. Today was one of the best sunrises I've ever experienced. Easily in the top ten, photos don't do justice at all. Not even close. It was nicely red 360° around me, which is quite rare in my opinion.

Sunrise

Another early hiker showed me that we could even see the Zugspitze in the alps, Germany's highest mountain at 2962 meters above sea level. It's the light lavenderish thing in the distance, that look a bit like clouds:

Zugspitze in the alps 175 km away

Conditions have to superb in order to be able to see that far, 175 km. I've actually never witnessed that before. My dad just told me that he'd seen it once in his life, my mum never, happens very few times a year.

Up top it was very windy and cold, I was glad to bring a spare t-shirt, scarf and beanie. My camera battery died a few times on me today, also during video recordings. I muted the rushing noise of the wind and set to bird's twittering from last year.

@prologic There are online photo calendar services out there where you can customize your own calendar, basically by just providing the images. But ususally these calendars are by month, so each page is a full month, allowing for 13 photos in total, including the cover. What I'm looking for is a calendar where you have a page for each day, whatever you call that, giving me 366 photo opportunities. That's gonna get really thick, though, so maybe that doesn't exist for that reason. And it would be quite expensive, too. So maybe a week calendar (one photo per week) would be a compromise.

@mckinley Thank you, glad you liked it. Yes, having the videos locally enables me to watch them at any point in time. This was even more important in the past when my internet connection was not fast enough and everything took forever. Germany, a third world country when it comes to internet.

When starting ybeuter, it actually enqueues all non-downloaded entries automatically. So I just have to press s to start downloading. But at the moment I usually just dequeue all and reenqueue a few selected ones, because there are so many entries. :-/

I bet a program to get all URLs from unread articles out of _~/.newsboat/cache.db_ would be super simple. The only thing is, lately I do not want to watch all videos anymore, so this would leave me with a bunch of wasted traffic and disk space. So I don't mind the extra manual work. Sounds like you're not as picky or have a better set of channels to follow. :-) Launching MPV would also happen from within Newsboat, right? Otherwise marking articles as read becomes cumbersome I imagine, when the matching article needs to be found in the article list first. This program, that downloads all required videos found in Newsboat's SQLite database and removes them once marked read, that would be a cronjob? No user interaction required, did I get this right? Sounds like a cool idea.

For syntax highlighting I used Kate. Just selected the appropriate language and then exported to HTML. It works well, but requires a bit of clicking around in Kate and copying over into Vim. That's exactly what I have already done 15 years ago. For your use case, where you publish articles regularly, something scriptable like Pygments might be better suited, though._~

@abucci What do you mean by Python lacking a clear foundation?
lyse

View Thread
@prologic I believe it originated in the C++ universe, but it can be translated (to some degree) to some other languages, too. To my understanding it boils down to everthing, that is not being intended to be modified, to be marked const. If you then try to violate unmodifiable stuff, the compiler raps you over the knuckles. I found this long FAQ about it if you want to go into the details: https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/const-correctness ;-)

I've been hit a few times in the past with nasty bugs, because wrong variables were updated. Would they have been annotated as unmodifiable, the bugs were found by the compiler and hence prevented in the first place. So, const correctness not only helps the compiler to spot errors, but also clearly communicates to the next programmer, that something is not supposed to be updated. Yeah, the code in question was not very well engineered, super long (although I generally don't mind longer code segments per se if they're justified) and not well tested. So proper tests could have detected the bugs, too. Which I ended up writing to fix and validate. Still, const correctness is valuable to me as it adds more information about the code and the thoughts of the initial author.

And sadly, Go does not have anything like that. Okay, there's the const keyword, but it's usefulness is incredibly limited. So I don't count that. And the assignment operators := and = do not really count in my point of view either. There's too much error handling going on, so you basically always end up having to use :=, because only the first variable is new, just err was already used, so = does not work:

o
foo, err := eggs()
if err != nil {
    return err
}
bar, baz, err := spam(foo)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

I left at 05:20 and could have even started 15 minutes earlier. A few hundred meters into the hike and I met a hedgehog on the sidewalk. I didn't bother drawing my camera as it was too dark. After leaving the town I saw eight satellites in total, never encountered so many before. It's pretty cool when everything is dead quiet and then birds come to life and start singing. Got the last four quinces in the box and was eaten alive by mozzies at the top of the mountain. Hell, were they aggressive today, but I managed to kill a few of these bastards. Revenge!

My camera went back on me quite a lot. All photos in the beginning were total crap. Even though blurred, I had to keep some with the incredible reds. I appologize for the first two in today's gallery. It's getting better once you're past them.

Today was fairly cold, about 7°C, so I was glad to have a shirt, jumper and jacket. My shirt was soaked when I reached the summit, so I stripped it and tried to dry it in the wind. It kind of worked. But I had hoped these quick drying hiking shirts drain faster, no comparision to cotton, though. That's for sure. I find it quite strange that at the summit it feels much warmer than down at the village or forest. Even though it's windy up there but not down below. This was the same the last days. And no, after half an hour I have cooled off from the way up. I'm mostly standing around up there, so when moving down my body warms up and it still felt colder. A random guy yesterday morning told me the same.

Spontaneously decided to stay at a deerstand. I tried out a new path I've never been on. It kind of dead ended in the forest, so I used some animal trails to continue. Came across lots of mushrooms, quite some nastly looking ones. I also met little red riding hood.

Crazy colored leaves

@prologic On a side note, /api/v1/admin/delete with a {"hash": <hash>} body doesn't really feel REST-like to me. Why not DELETE /api/v1/twts/<hash> or whatever resource path?

Anyways, deleting remote twts from the yarnd cache and archive manually is the completely wrong approach in my opinion. It feels like a bandaid. If the twt is gone from the feed it just has to be removed from the cache and archive as well, provided that twt has not been rotated away into an archive feed. Of course this is more work, but it's the right thing to do. Software is there to help humans, not the other way around. :-)

Alrighty then! As already written, I stopped several times to take photos along the way. I reached the summit between 05 and 06. On the way back I passed my first squirrel of the season and luckily it hissed at me, otherwise I would not have seen it. It was constantly trashing around and jumping all over the place, so I only got one okay shot.

I also tried to get a better shot at yesterday's molehills, but lighting was just not cooperating at this early time of day.

Yes, Nginx is quite nice and straight forward most of the time, @movq. I use it myself. What the heck, did you already consider switching to a less shitty web server/reverse proxy, @prologic.

@movq Oh crap! :-( I hope you didn't park your bass guitar or other equipment underneath it. I'll keep my fingers crossed to get it fixed soon and without much hazzle.

@movq Exactly, that would have been the right time regarding sunrise watching. As feared, I didn't make it to the summit in time. I had to start taking some photos from the mountain's foot. Gonna have to go through all these close to 500 photos first, though. Stay tuned.

@movq Hell, no! I hope it's locally contained and you don't have a major damage. The water is coming from the upstair neighbors I imagine, it's not a pipe that broke in your appartment?

@prologic @movq That's exactly, what I thought, too. I'll bet that you have some reverse proxy in the front anyways, so let this one serve the 503 page.

Damn, I didn't think of the return to standard time when I set my alarm clock to 06:00 last night. I'm going to miss sunrise, even if I take the bike for half of the trip. It's going to be uphill all the way. Stupid time change fuckery!

Thanks mates! @prologic The woodpecker sign is a forest preserve. Below it reads: "Please show consideration for nature and other people at Mt. Hohenstaufen and follow these rules: a) Everybody stays on the marked paths b) Dogs are leashed c) Cyclists are driving carefully and slowly" @movq The fourth photo shows a small molehill made of very dry dirt. I can highly recommend a morning hike. I'll do it again tomorrow and leave maybe 20 minutes earlier to see the initial red stripe develop in the sky. Hopefully. The weather is going to be insane again.
