<p>I added <a href="https://envs.net/~lucidiot/rsrsss/xsl/style.xsl">an XSLT stylesheet</a> to this RSS feed! This means that when you open this feed in a web browser that does not support subscribing to RSS feeds, you will instead get a nice looking page without me ever writing actual raw HTML. In older or less common web browsers that still support RSS subscriptions (as every good web browser should), such as Pale Moon, you will still get the default page that asks you if you want to subscribe.</p>
|
|
<p>Some of my friends had mentioned adding RSS to their static site generators was hard; how about turning your index page into the RSS feed, and letting browsers generate the HTML for you?</p>

All the topic changes on an IRC channel hosted on tilde.town's internal IRC server, in which we roleplay being in a Java-related hot tub.

The channel has <a href="http://tilde.town/wiki/socializing/irc/channels/javapool.html" target="_blank">a town wiki page</a> if you want to learn about the lore.

<p>I think I found this blog through tilde.news or lobste.rs, but I couldn't really find the source. I can't find out much about the blog's creator, other than them being a prominent SCP writer.</p>

<p>This feed indeed has some interesting things, related to SCP, sci-fi (especially time traveling), or programming. I bookmarked the <a href="https://qntm.org/perl_en">Perl introduction</a>, if I ever want to learn Perl and scare my fellow Python developers at work.</p>

<title>Replacing Yahoo with TinyTinyRSS in Pale Moon</title>
|

<description><![CDATA[
|
|
<p>I have been trying to avoid using Firefox and prefer Pale Moon as much as I can, in preparation for the rather pessimistic outcomes I see with <a href="https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/08/firefox-maker-mozilla-lays-off-250-workers-says-covid-19-lowered-revenue/">the current management at Mozilla</a>. It works pretty well for most of my uses, although I sometimes have to fallback to Firefox when I need to use websites that rely heavily on JS and do not use compilator options that would enhance compatibility, like Imgur and GitHub. Using Pale Moon on a 11+ years old ThinkPad X201 Tablet also really shows how resource hungry the Web is.</p>
|
|
<p>Some of my favorite things with Pale Moon include <a href="https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/moonscape/">turning it into Netscape</a>, <a href="https://www.palemoon.org/sync/">sync support</a>, and built-in RSS preview and subscription support via Live Bookmarks. I however have an issue with the RSS preview: it allows you to subscribe not only via Live Feeds but also with other desktop applications that you might have installed, such as Thunderbird, or Yahoo. My issue is that I wanted to add a button to quickly subscribe on envs.net's TinyTinyRSS instance, and after various attempts I could not add it in the user interface.</p>
|
|
<p>Here comes the trusty <code>about:config</code> to the rescue! Looking up <code>yahoo</code> in the configuration values pointed me to two keys in the configuration:</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>browser.contentHandlers.types.0.title</dt>
|
|
<dd>Initially set to <em>My Yahoo!</em>, I changed it to <em>TinyTinyRSS</em>.</dd>
|
|
<dt>browser.contentHandlers.types.0.uri</dt>
|
|
<dd>Initially set to <code>https://add.my.yahoo.com/rss?url=%s</code>, I changed it to <code>https://rss.envs.net/public.php?op=subscribe&feed_url=%s</code>. I found this URL by looking at the bookmarklets configuration in TinyTinyRSS and reading the short JS code that redirects you to TinyTinyRSS.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>I initially tried to add a button next to the <em>My Yahoo!</em> one by creating two new keys, <code>.types.1.title</code> and <code>.types.1.uri</code>, but that failed. I did not yet look into the Pale Moon source code to see why this could have failed.</p>
|
|
<p>With this change, instead of Yahoo, I can quickly subscribe to anyone's RSS feeds faster than ever. This will definitely not help my backlog of 2600+ articles…</p>

<p>While writing the previous post about TinyTinyRSS in Pale Moon, I tried to fix an issue I still had with my XSLT: To make HTML tags in <description> blocks work, I had to break an important part of the RSS specification and add tags directly without escaping them. XSLT stylesheets would decode entities or CDATA blocks, and do not provide a function to selectively re-parse XML tags, so I felt I was stuck. I then found out that this bit of code could get me to output the content of a description tag without getting HTML entities, so getting raw HTML as I want it without causing bugs with Pale Moon's RSS preview or bad RSS validator warnings:</p>
|
|
<pre><xsl:value-of select="description" disable-output-escaping="yes" /></pre>
|
|
<p><code>disable-output-escaping</code> <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116#disable-output-escaping">is optional</a> according to the W3C specification since version 1. libxslt, Chromium and Internet Explorer do support it, but Firefox <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XSLTProcessor/XSL_Transformations_in_Mozilla_FAQ#can_i_do_disable-output-escaping.3f">chose not to</a>, and <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98168" target="_blank">a Bugzilla ticket</a> for it will celebrate its 20th birthday this year. They do say themselves that this causes issues for RSS support, so I chose to just not care about it. If you are a Firefox user and are seeing raw, unparsed HTML tags in there, I can only suggest using another browser, or just subscribing to this feed and reading this in its home, a RSS aggregator.</p>

I was looking at directories of RSS feeds because I wanted to find more original feeds that I might not find easily from just browsing my friends' blogs or the rest of my small corner of the internet, then I found a few pages that listed directories of RSS feeds, so I made a directory of those directories of RSS feed directories as an OPML file. Those aren't either OPML or RSS files so they use the <code>link</code> outline type which you will probably not be able to use unless you have an <a href="http://outliners.scripting.com/" target="_blank">outline editor</a>.

<description><![CDATA[
|
|
<p>While I was looking for unusual RSS feeds, I stumbled upon a way to get weather RSS feeds from the <a href="https://bbc.com/weather" target="_blank">BBC Weather</a> service. If you open the page for a location, you will get a URL in this format:</p>
|
|
<pre><a href="https://www.bbc.com/weather/2644080" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.com/weather/<strong>2644080</strong></a></pre>
|
|
<p>Take this integer suffix, which is the ID of the location, and put it in one of these two URLs to get some RSS feeds:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
3-day forecasts:
|
|
<a href="https://weather-broker-cdn.api.bbci.co.uk/en/forecast/rss/3day/2644080" target="_blank">
|
|
<code>https://weather-broker-cdn.api.bbci.co.uk/en/forecast/rss/3day/<strong>2644080</strong></code>
|
|
</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Latest observations:
|
|
<a href="https://weather-broker-cdn.api.bbci.co.uk/en/observation/rss/2644080" target="_blank">
|
|
<code>https://weather-broker-cdn.api.bbci.co.uk/en/observation/rss/<strong>2644080</strong></code>
|
|
</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>This procedure is documented <a href="https://www.bbc.com/weather/about/17543675" target="_blank">exactly like so</a> on the BBC help pages!</p>

<description><![CDATA[
|

This is one of my earliest attempts at a PSP-compatible RSS feed: a feed for the <code>#fridaypostcard</code> tradition on tilde.town's IRC channel, where every Friday you can post a link to an image with this tag and a cron job picks it up. This feed does not keep track of any history at all and is cleared on every Friday. Despite my attempts, most of the images in this feed cannot be displayed on a PSP. Most image links use Imgur, which requires HTTPS, and the PSP's RSS reader does not support HTTPS at all.

<p>WordPress sites natively have support for RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds, and they have some docs to help you find them. Even if the website does not advertise them, you can try adding some URL parameters or changing some paths:</p>

<p>Replace <code>rss2</code> with <code>atom</code> for an Atom feed, and with <code>rdf</code> for an RSS 1.0 feed.</p>
|
|
<p>I added a distinction between RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0 in <a href="https://tilde.town/~lucidiot/itsb/" target="_blank">ITSB</a> and used it to provide more official feeds from the Antigua and Barbuda Department of Marine Services and Merchant Shipping Inspection and Investigation Division and the mongolian Air Accidents Investigation Bureau.</p>
