Code Project – Python – Improved FreshRSS Link Lists

Today, I want to talk about recent improvements I have made on my FreshRSS to Wordpress Digest Python script. And to make a note on what I would like to do next. This is the script I used to produce these Link List Posts on [Blogging Intensifies] and Lameazoid. The Github Repository for it is here. The first version was simple, it pulled from the sharded feed of FreshRSS, collected favorited articles, formatted them a bit, then posted a wordpress post of links. Overtime, I wanted these posts to be prettier, so I added a bit more massaging to the…

The Harris/Walz Campaign Fortnite Map

In case you didn't catch the news, and it feels like it wasn't exactly, "big news", the Harris/Walz campaign has launched a Fortnite map as part of their effort to promote the Presidential campaign.  This was met with many people asking why they would try to market to a bunch of kids, which was met with the appropriate response that, there are plenty of voting age adults who play Fortnite, and the game is old enough that a lot of people who started as kids, are also old enough to vote. It's still kind of debatable if this map will…

They have talked off and on about renting or buying a space and found a location a few months ago that fits their needs and budget. They have done a lot more of…

So, some 3+ years, at least. Thats not important, its new to me. I have made no secret that I enjoy music and rhythm games, and so I have been really enjoying this one. Its a bit different in feel than DDR or Fortnite Festival. There are only 3 lanes, so you can play with your thumbs. You also can't…

Vote By Mail Should Be Standard

Something I feel like I take for granted a bit is just how good my state handles everything election wise. And it's politics in general, for the most part. I mean, like everywhere it's full of nuts in the rural areas, but overall, it's traditionally just been a "safe" state. One thing that I love that is newer is vote by mail. This started back in 2020 because of COVID of course. I mean, maybe it was an option before, but it was made extremely easy in the 2020 election. Previously, like many others, I would go down to my…
