How to Build a Restreaming Server with a Raspberry Pi
First of all, what is a restreaming server? Sometimes you want to livestream video from a device like an ATEM Mini or OBS to multiple destinations. Many devices and software like this will let you push video to just one RTMP destination at a time. ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » Hmmm, after fixing my feeds to move the <author> from <entry>s to <feed>, Newsboat marked all old affected articles as unread. IDs were untouched, of course. Need to investigate that. Had something similar happen with another feed change I did some time ago. Can't remember what that was, though.

Great, last system update broke something, building from current master I get:

/usr/bin/ld: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: unknown type [0x13] section `.relr.dyn'

What the heck!?

And it also appears that I’m not really able to reproduce this unread bug. It only kind of works a single time. And it has something to do with my config. Not sure what it is yet. I also noticed that the <updated> timestamps in the entries somehow shifted between the old and new feed. Da fuq!?

Dino: Stateless File Sharing: Source Attachment and Wrap-Up

Recap

Stateless file sharing (sfs) is a generic file sharing message which, alongside metadata, sends a list of sources where the file can be retrieved from.
It is generic in the sense, that sources can be from different kinds of file transfer methods.
HTTP, Jingle and any other file transfers can be encapsulated with it.
The big idea is that functionality can be implemented for all file transfer methods at once, thanks to … ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » Atom vs. RSS: https://mckinley.cc/blog/20221109.html

@mckinley@twtxt.net 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.

This is by design due to Google culture. The only way to get promoted into the higher pay scales is to ship a new product. So you have people shipping what worked before without regard to how it will exist within the product ecosystem. Also, why they seem to die off so quickly after launch. see allo and duo for example. The person that launches gets promoted to a higher level and off the original team and so it is left to wither and die.

I guess Google Hangouts is finally dead.

Why is Google such a mess at making messaging apps? This has more or less been a solved problem for decades. Google Talk worked well enough, and since it was based on XMPP and Jingle it was perfectly suited to become a large-scale text/voice/video messaging system. If they’d run with that they’d have been able to dominate that space, I think. Instead, they’ve created and shitcanned half a dozen messaging apps and platforms, flailing around copying someone else’s app (now they’re trying to copy Slack I guess).

I was inclined to let this go so as not to stir anything up, but after some additional thought I’ve decided to call it out. This twt:

is exactly the kind of ad hominem garbage I came to expect from Twitter™, and I’m disappointed to see it replicated here. Rummaging through someone’s background trying to find a “gotcha” argument to take credibility away from what a person is saying, instead of engaging the ideas directly, is what trolls and bad faith actors do. That’s what the twt above does (falsely, I might add–what’s being claimed is untrue).

If you take issue with something I’ve said, you can mute me, unfollow me, ignore me, use TamperMonkey to turn all my twts into gibberish, engage the ideas directly, etc etc etc. There are plenty of options to make what I said go away. Reading through my links, reading about my organization’s CEO’s background, and trying to use that against me somehow (after misinterpreting it no less)? Besides being unacceptable in a rational discussion, and besides being completely ineffective in stopping me from expressing whatever it is you didn’t like, it’s creepy. Don’t do that.
