Iterating Again, Already
A few days ago I posted about updates to my little FreshRSS script. I already did some fairly quick simple updates, though some didn't quite work out as hoped initially. Firstly, I didn't care for the big blob daily article file it pushed out to the archive. So now it spits out a bunch of individual articles, formatted "YYYY-MM-DD-Article Title.md." this created my first issue. I got a "Filename too long error." So I set up a check to truncate the article title to 100 characters, if its longer than 100 characters. I can't just always slice it, because if…

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…
