The bug in jenny that @aelaraji@aelaraji.com 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@twtxt.net 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

Introduction to JuiceFS | JuiceFS Document Center – Thinking about using JuiceFS to solve a long-running problem I’ve always had.

  • Be able to run services on any node in my cluster and let Docker Swarm pick whatever node it likes (instead of now where I have to pin some workloads to specific nodes, as that’s where their local storage volume is)
  • Manage the scalability of data and growth over time instead of what I do now which is to extend EXT4 filesystems on my Docker Swarm nodes every few years.

Suddenly, VLC crashes when I jump forward in videos. It’s 100% reproducible. Reboot didn’t fix it. Starting on the shell, I see:

Assertion !p->parent->stash_hwaccel failed at src/libavcodec/pthread_frame.c:649

Turns out, it’s this: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=81068 Before I even went online, I assumed that turning off hardware acceleration might help. And it does. Phew!

Alors j’ai vérifié : toujours pas de ministre de l’éducation nationale à ce jour. La rentrée se fera donc sans. Cela illustre malheureusement tout l’intérêt que porte E Macron à l’instruction de nos enfants.

Vu le Comte de Monte Cristo hier soir, avec le brillant Pierre Ninet. Je n’ai pas vu les 3h passer, ce film est une oeuvre d’art. Il y a un peu de tous les genres, les acteurs sont excellents et je parie que certains jeunes seront revus bientôt. Bravo! N’hésitez pas à aller le voir si ce n’est pas déjà fait
