-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-It's been a while since I posted anything here. Usually, I posted
-after tinkering with something cool, but a few things happened and left
-me with very little enthusiasm and drive to write anything. Anyway,
-here's some general things that's happened over the year; it's just
-going to be a bit of a mind dump on tech related things.
-.
-.Pp
-I never stopped using gopher; in fact, my browsing habits have changed
-dramatically in the last year that I use gopher more. My main browser
-is now lynx, used in conjunction with rdrview to make the html more
-readable. With bongusta, lobste.rs and metafilter being daily visits
-on gopher, along with quarry/floodgap for searching and gopherpedia for
-everything in between. The only reason I open up a
-.Dq normal browser
-like qutebrowser or librewolf is when either cloudflare blocks the site
-or that new AI bot blocker anubis does. Anubis is the worst as you
-*need* javascript enabled for it to work, and so many sites are using
-it now. Some sites seem to allow you to bypass anubis if your
-user-agent is set to lynx, so with rdrview, set the following
-environment variables.
-.
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-export RDRVIEW_BROWSER='lynx'
-export RDRVIEW_USER_AGENT='Lynx/2.9.2'
-.Ed

-.Pp
-Man, the www is truly dead.
-.
-.Pp
-I am still using my nokia 105 phone daily, I have my old smart phone
-which sits next to my work laptop, it is purely used for the
-authenticator app to login for work. I wish they allowed the use of a
-yubikey or similar. I also have a SIP desk phone, a snom 370, which is
-hooked up to a local asterisk box I am running, outbound / inbound
-calls to this are via localphone.com. I used to work in an ISP where
-asterisk and voip was the main product for them, I loved playing around with
-it. Being of the generation brought up with redboxing, and blueboxing if
-you could find (or told) a number for a foreign operator as it wasn't
-possible to bluebox directly on BTs network. I even contributed quite
-heavily to rapid7 warvox wardialer many moons ago, when it was still a
-thing. Oh to be young again! The snom only cost £5 on ebay, and I pay
-£1.20 a month for my sim with lebara. It gives me unlimited text/calls
-and 10gb data, I don't use any data though with the dumbphone. No
-contract. So works out quite a cheap tech toy for the amount of time I
-spend messing around with it. I always wince a bit when people say they
-are paying £30+ a month, while also hooked into a 24 month
-contract - expensive!
-.
-.Pp
-OpenBSD is the go to for all my servers still, gopher and public git
-repos are hosted over on openbsd amsterdam. I had a replacement beelink
-u59 sent to me which I use for my own self-hosting, it has around 4TB,
-and setup as a nas, along with hosting git, asterisk and jellyfin. My
-daily driver is still alpine linux, if something happens to it, I will
-switch the desktop back over to openbsd, but it's been rock solid for
-well over a year now.
-.
-.Pp
-The only replacement I really want to do is a fire stick I use on my
-TV, it runs the jellyfin app. The problem, outwith the fact it's an
-amazon device, is it fails to work if there is no internet connection.
-So while I do have everything selfhosted, I still can't watch stuff on
-jellyfin if the internet is done - madness!
-.Pp
-Looking a head at tech projects, and more specifically, these are some
-of the gopher related projects I want to take a crack at this coming
-year, mostly focus on things I still use the www for. So getting them

+these feeds. It may seem like a complicated setup, and you are wondering
+why go to this effort when you can simply use something like newsraft or
+newsboat. Well, I don't know if it's just the feeds I view, but
+frequently they don't include the full body of the article, and I find
+this quite annoying. On top of that, I like to have everything under one
+application; having that sense of familiarity is nice. It's also good to
+have a local copy of the article, more than once I have seen articles
+just disappear into the ether.
+
+
+ sfeed ---> fdm ---> rdrview ---> mutt
+
+
+Above is the basic flow of the setup and you can watch a screen recording
+of my normal usage under the SEE ALSO section. This shows me running a
+wrapper script that updates the feeds with sfeed, converts this to mbox,
+and then calls fdm to do it's thing. I also open the feeds in mutt,
+showing the article content is now within the email body, I then open a
+few of the links in lynx/rdrview directly to show you can still view them
+externally, if needed.
+
+
+To achieve this setup, we need to do the following:
+
+
+ 1. sfeed_update downloads the latest feeds.
+ 2. sfeed_mbox creates an mbox file.
+ 3. fdm converts this to Maildirs based on the feed name.
+ 4. fdm rewrites the body, using rdrview.
+ 5. mutt then becomes the reader for these feeds.
+
+
+I won't cover the first 2 steps in much detail as these are covered very
+well in the sfeed documentation. In a nullshell, once you have created
+your feeds file, you run these two commands.
+
+
+ sfeedroot="$HOME/.config/sfeed"
+ feedsdir="${sfeedroot}/feeds"
+
+ sfeed_update "${sfeedroot}/sfeedrc"
+ sfeed_mbox "${feedsdir}"/* >${sfeedroot}/mbox
+
+
+Step 3 is also partly covered in the sfeed documentation, but I have
+stripped down my own fdm config below just to show at what point I call
+the script to rewrite the body. You can run fdm with this config, because
+the feed is disabled by default we must include the account name when
+running it. I only do this because I use fdm to fetch my normal mail,
+which also has a bunch of other filters, such as dumping mailing lists
+into other locations. The main workhorse of this script is match account
+on feeds, where it calls the action feedget:
+
+
+ fdm -f ${fdmconfig} -afeeds fetch
+
+
+This is the minimal fdm config you would need ~/.config/fdm/config
+
+
+ # macros, paths to cache file, where we want the Maildirs to live.
+ $path = "%h/.mail"
+ $feedcache = "%h/.mail/fdm.cache"
+ $feeddir = "%h/.mail/feeds/"
+ $strurl = "(http[s]?://.*|gemini://.*)"
+
+ # options, setting up the cache so we know what's a new feed.
+ set unmatched-mail keep
+ set no-received
+ cache "${feedcache}"
+
+ # accounts, disabled by default so we have to explicitly call it.
+ account "feeds" disabled mbox "%[home]/.config/sfeed/mbox"
+
+ # feed actions
+ action "feedtag" tag "msgid" value "%1"
+ action "feedget" rewrite "%h/bin/fdm_parse_feeds.sh"
+ action "feedsave" {
+ maildir "${feeddir}%1"
+ add-to-cache "${feedcache}" key "%[msgid]"
+ keep
+ }
+
+ # match on any feed from sfeed mbox and call the actions.
+ match account "feeds" {
+ match case "^Message-ID: (.*)" in headers action "feedtag" …
+ match matched and in-cache "${feedcache}" key "%[msgid]" ac…
+ match $strurl action "feedget" continue
+ match case "^X-Feedname: (.*)" in headers action "feedsave"
+ }
+
+
+The heavy lifting of this script is when a feed is matched, it then
+calls the action feedget. This action calls an external script which
+either runs gemget to pull the page if its a gemini link, or if its a
+normal web page, run rdrview. The email is then returned back to fdm
+with the new content body.
+
+
+Here is the fdm_parse_feeds.sh script.
+
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+
+ data=$(cat)
+ url=$(echo "$data" | grep -o -E 'https?://[^"]+|gemini://[^"]+')
+ uri_lower="$(printf "%s" "$url" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')"
+
+ case "$uri_lower" in
+ content=$(gemget -o - "$url")
+ ;;
+ content=$(rdrview -H "$url" | lynx -stdin --dump -force_htm…
+ ;;
+ esac
+
+ printf "%s0s" "$data" "$content"
+
+
+I hope this helps anyone wanting to experiment with sfeed and fdm, or
+looking at different ways of going a bit more offline. As always, you
+can find all of these config my dotfiles repo, link on the gopher
+homepage if needed.
