[00:53] schestowitz-TR some progress made, prototype

● Jan 30

[01:08] schestowitz-TR you made the opml parser, i work on epxanding a list of the given feed urls

[01:08] schestowitz-TR that alreaddy works :)

[05:13] schestowitz-TR see feedlist.py on /home/roy (your end)

[05:13] schestowitz-TR you can run it with python3 and the required modules

[05:49] techrigthssec ack

[05:52] schestowitz-TR ramble on faraway keyboard: so we have a kind opml parser and prototype

[05:52] schestowitz-TR for stuff that takes a list of feeds, processing them one at a time, cutting based

[05:52] schestowitz-TR on date ranges, then producing, e.g. to out put file, a page that can be opened in kate/firefox

[05:52] schestowitz-TR (in my case) for quick shelving and posting

[05:52] schestowitz-TR the prototype is not robust to oddball date formats

[05:52] schestowitz-TR but it can ingest a lot of stuff

[05:52] schestowitz-TR it would be nice to also inc. some political news from it

[05:52] schestowitz-TR and patents

[05:52] schestowitz-TR this process saves a lot of time

[05:52] techrigthssec no prototype yet the ability to retain the OPML hiearchy is lost

[05:52] techrigthssec that capability is essential in managing any set larger than a feed or two

[05:54] schestowitz-TR for now I toy around with linear list of feeds

[05:54] schestowitz-TR it works ok

[05:54] schestowitz-TR as long as there is some consistency across feeds

[05:54] schestowitz-TR with opml hierarchy several different output files can be created

[05:54] schestowitz-TR e.g. patents, politics, foss

[06:10] schestowitz-TR a long time ago i made a script, short, for turning the opml into a list of feeds

[06:10] schestowitz-TR i cannot find it in git

[06:10] schestowitz-TR maybe it was a one-liner

[06:10] schestowitz-TR oh,i found it

[06:10] schestowitz-TR how can imake python fail gracefuly and carry on when it fails on one feed

[06:10] schestowitz-TR do you know offhand?

[06:10] schestowitz-TR ran ok

[06:10] schestowitz-TR got the flattened list

[06:12] techrigthssec Working on a hiearchical feed reader but no ETA, still looking at sketches

[06:12] techrigthssec and studies

[06:12] techrigthssec try:

[06:12] techrigthssec except:

[06:12] techrigthssec the except: part takes the type of error if you need to tune the response

[06:12] techrigthssec to the different types of exceptions raised

[06:20] schestowitz-TR a long time ago i made a script, short, for turning the opml into a list of feeds

[06:20] schestowitz-TR i cannot find it in git

[06:21] schestowitz-TR maybe it was a one-liner

[06:21] schestowitz-TR oh,i found it

[06:21] schestowitz-TR how can imake python fail gracefuly and carry on when it fails on one feed

[06:21] schestowitz-TR do you know offhand?

[06:21] schestowitz-TR ran ok

[06:21] schestowitz-TR got the flattened list

[06:21] schestowitz-TR fantastic! that worked

[06:21] schestowitz-TR doing a test on about 30 random feeds

[06:21] schestowitz-TR it looks like we can expand the scope of coverage withthe time saved

[06:25] techrigthssec Feeds usually indicate a waiting period so the script should take that

[06:25] techrigthssec into account and not re-fetch a feed prior to that interval having passed

[06:57] schestowitz-TR this new workflow is awesome

[06:57] schestowitz-TR ought to have done this years ago

● Jan 30

[07:37] schestowitz-TR WTH? "the pandemic has brought some positive changes to Finnish society, experts say." https://yle.fi/a/74-20015259?origin=rssthis new workflow is awesome

[07:37] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-yle.fi | Three years since first Covid diagnosis, Finland looks for pandemic silver linings | News | Yle Uutiset

[07:37] schestowitz-TR ought to have done this years ago

[07:49] schestowitz-TR i have plugged the full list

[07:49] schestowitz-TR over 1k feeds

[07:49] schestowitz-TR for sites that areonline the script hangs forminutes

[07:49] schestowitz-TR this ie all experimental anyway

● Jan 30

[08:11] techrigthssec Excellent

[08:57] techrigthssec The fetching of feeds can be massively parallelized, it is not hitting the

[08:57] techrigthssec same site multiple times. The limit is RAM and local bandwidth, afiak
