09:31 techrightssec; There's basically no coverage of the OnePlus battery DRM aside from Rossmann's

09:31 techrightssec; one video

09:32 schestowitz-TR2; there i barely any coverage left of anything important

09:32 schestowitz-TR2; so to report you start with vacuum

09:32 schestowitz-TR2; or someone who truts you to tell something

09:32 schestowitz-TR2; which is rare

09:44 techrightssec; It takes more time to dig through blogs and such, too.

10:51 techrightssec; \

10:51 techrightssec; A lot of blogs seem to have died off towards the end of last year and the start

10:51 techrightssec; of this year. Hopefully not litterally.

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; yes, hence the change f strategy

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; and hdd crash as an opportunity to bounce back another way

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; yesterrdayi thought pogson had bounced back

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; then i realise it was robert heaton

10:52 schestowitz-TR2; not pogson

11:12 techrightssec; Some CMS software has no clue about proper feed generation. :/

11:27 schestowitz-TR2; after i mistakenly tan merge-daily-links i wanted to see if it harmed something

11:27 schestowitz-TR2; so i checked what the script does

11:27 schestowitz-TR2; am i correct that .old is the file before doing a diff with the previous day's file?

11:27 schestowitz-TR2; and that re-running the above script results in the same thing?

11:27 schestowitz-TR2; (btw, the thing i wanted to run was supplementary)

11:27 schestowitz-TR2; the script runs ok now btw, the rss progra

11:28 techrightssec; Excellent

11:28 techrightssec; It's gradually moving towards something useful.

12:09 techrightssec; I would think that it is a worthy topic, just short of external articles.

12:09 techrightssec; It's a kind of DRM but based on serial numbers or something simplified

12:09 techrightssec; The threat is more the intent than the technology behind the threat.

12:10 schestowitz-TR2; worth posting the video about drm in batts as tr post?

12:10 schestowitz-TR2; might raises awareness and be citable larter

12:10 schestowitz-TR2; new forms of drm creeping in

12:10 schestowitz-TR2; not drm per se

12:10 techrightssec; I would think that it is a worthy topic, just short of external articles.

12:10 techrightssec; It's a kind of DRM but based on serial numbers or something simplified

12:10 techrightssec; The threat is more the intent than the technology behind the threat.

12:14 schestowitz-TR2; gonna add it now

12:14 schestowitz-TR2; is it correct the scripti ran by accident just replicates what was already there

12:14 schestowitz-TR2; and compared today to yesterday to cull duoes?

12:14 schestowitz-TR2; *supes

12:14 schestowitz-TR2; *dupes

12:14 schestowitz-TR2; also, as odysee will be offline in a few years

12:14 schestowitz-TR2; is the video short enough to be worth making ogg for or webm for?

12:14 schestowitz-TR2; very little on www lasts even 10 years

12:14 schestowitz-TR2; googlevideo is offline

12:14 schestowitz-TR2; we linked a lot to it when BN was young

12:14 schestowitz-TR2; after feedburner gulag will possible burn blogspot

12:15 schestowitz-TR2; arson because no business model

12:16 techrightssec; The script makes an intitial run when the OPML is loaded. Then if the script

12:16 techrightssec; is run with no options, it fetches only the updated feeds.

12:16 techrightssec; If an OPML file is loaded, it overwrites any settings, There is no caching

12:16 techrightssec; yet either

12:20 schestowitz-TR2; i meant the script in links@tr

12:20 schestowitz-TR2; merge-daily-links

12:20 schestowitz-TR2; i ran it by accident a couple of hours ago

12:20 schestowitz-TR2; btw, ircvery busy today

12:20 schestowitz-TR2; and several channels have a lot more news in them

12:20 schestowitz-TR2; lik a ticker but with interaction and stuff

12:20 schestowitz-TR2; much better than before the hdd crash

12:20 schestowitz-TR2; i also made kde look and behave very nicely

12:20 techrightssec; Oh. That's probably fine but let me check.

12:20 techrightssec; Yes, as long as there is the manual page in ~/Links/tmp/ the merge script

12:20 techrightssec; will just re-run. There is a slight risk of missing some automated feeds

12:20 techrightssec; if the feeds happen to change between runs or individual entries happen to

12:20 techrightssec; age out. If the manual file is missing, then the script should just abort

12:30 schestowitz-TR2; i think i ran it a short time after it had initislly run

12:30 schestowitz-TR2; so should be safe

12:30 schestowitz-TR2; i compared old to current

12:30 schestowitz-TR2; the reason it happened is,

12:30 schestowitz-TR2; 0:40am i lost connection

12:30 schestowitz-TR2; the router rebooted itself

12:30 schestowitz-TR2; i logged back in

12:30 schestowitz-TR2; relied on history(1)

12:30 schestowitz-TR2; the computers here always have about 15 ssh sessions between them

12:30 schestowitz-TR2; hence, major annoyance when connection drops at the mains

12:30 schestowitz-TR2; aside from needing to chase potentially missing irc activity

12:30 schestowitz-TR2; which i've done for 15 years

14:10 techrightssec; Many feeds are not consistent with the standards in regards to their date strings

14:10 techrightssec; Added a fuzzy parser for dates, it kicks in if the official format fails.

14:10 techrightssec; On this activity about 40% of the time has been used by XSL and 30% used by

14:10 techrightssec; Python's date and time structures and the rest by actual scripting.
