Enjoy when humans are using machines in unexpected ways. I break stuff and I do stuff. Paperbay.org is my chaotic librarian side and the server is operated by yours truly. I do photography, painting and many other things...

The infosec is side at https://infosec.exchange/@adulau

Checked my 6,921 bookmarks on Pinboard.in: 3,462 hit dead ends with 404s or expired domains, and many of the 3,459 left show fake content or parking pages. Only 21% from the last 2 years still work as expected. The lifespan of URLs is definitely shrinking.

Luckily some (~20%) are archived @internetarchive

What are we actually doing to avoid this?

I've added a new tool to my collection of RSS tools. It's called rssfind.py, and it enables the discovery of Atom or RSS feeds from a specified URL. The tool utilizes two techniques: one involves searching for feed references in link references, and the other employs brute-forcing to check all well-known paths for RSS or Atom feeds

As 2024 marks the resurgence of RSS and Atom, I decided to update my rudimentary RSS tools from 2007 to make them contemporary and works under Python 3. The release v1.0 marks this step and allow everyone to use and improve the RSS toolset.

Very cool research and work from @CoolSWEng alexandria3k which includes a local access to openly-available publication data sets.

The database is huge huge but you have a set of tools to populate and access the dataset for your researches.

On avait un petit club de lecture dans un groupe Signal et puis c’est devenu est un peu plus grand avec pas mal de critiques culturelles… Alors un site web avec nos critiques est maintenant disponible. Tout est libre, sans pub. On a aussi un compte Mastodon.

To summarize the EU state of teleworking for commuters :

  • You waste hours in public transports which don’t work properly
  • You are basically doing video conference at the office with the resident staff who can do as much teleworking as they want
  • and you are tracked down like a rat in an experiment because everyone is afraid when you are not at the office.

Maybe it’s time for the EU to take over the employment rules and make it easier for everyone.

If you wonder why it’s important to have non-digital processes for book lending and management in a public library, here is a good example

The rant against @darktable to promote your own fork sounds like a strange strategy to me as an open source developer.

I’m a long time user of Darktable and every time they remove a feature or change something and breaking your actual photographic workflow is painful.

Yes sometime you have to refactor but keeping the features is critical to keep a user base. Ansel photos is basically a new software with a lot of features removed.
