My setup is a distraction — netbook case
My lately blog posts have been written in the built-in editor of WordPress (earlier, it was WordGrinder). More than I should, I care about autosave being reliable, and that of WordPress has a somehow bad reputation (no idea why so far), although what I know is it autosaves only every minute. I like to write…
Atom/RSS feeds dish for a browser capable of framesets — with some Perl
Just seeing what time was the last update to an RSS feed should be enough for most. And the RSS feeds already have titles, so one might not need a full OPML, but nothing more than a list of URLs as a flat file. Although what follows has some room for improvement, feed reading can…

Links 2, a graphical browser I wanna build upon. And a quick look at how ELinks is doing.
We all know the three: Lynx, Links 2, ELinks. And w3m, the thing that pioneered inline images. Of these, Links is also among Dillo and NetSurf as a graphical browser —
Unlike its Links pre-1 fork, ELinks, which never chose to follow the upstream on that one;
Nowadays, elinks.cz web site is defunct for a month now — but exclusively on GitHub, the community remains active. Once a fork, rkd77’s ELinks, once (until 2020) having to call itself felinks, is now the continuation. The INSTALL mentions Alternatively, instead of Meson: ./configure &&… …There is no ./configure.
Amending my Offpunk redirection implementation
As it turned out the next afternoon, my code was buggy.
This is a sequel to the post Experimentally expanding Offpunk browser Part 1 (nightly) from yesterday.
The blocked domains were saving as redirection with destination URL interpreted as //BLOCK/, deleting redirections was broken because of the same CLI parsing issue, and it was still only possible to have one rule for one domain glob, no matter how specific through the criterions.
The only reason why -silent was working for them was because of this.
I am now hashing the entire criterion into the dict, and for that I had to add frozendict dependency to the project because good to write words sometimes, because I just turned that into a tuple.
More bugs found: especially that I didn’t really apply the specificity of the rules to BLOCK rules, and they were always acting on the netloc regardless. Now lemme just drop you the patches right below. First is a tiny patch for more predictable behavior of fragment templating, then the big one.
Update: I posted another bugfix post to this draft implementation of mine, see Bugfix for list URI for my Offpunk redirections implementation draft
Note: this post publishes the patches, but doesn’t diff any code nicely. These patch files are not exactly made for directly reading except for the commit message of the longer one, which I will maybe paste here too:
