  • Discussion 2 "next unread comment" keybind no longer works

    This has been a fairly recent change (~ within the past week) in Slashdot's Discussion 2 system. The "next unread comment" keybind (F) no longer works. Pressing F instead focuses on the search field. I have tried Firefox 3.0.10 (both Mac/Win versions) and Safari 3.2.3 (Mac).

  • Final release of newsfish!

    The project has been pretty dead the past few years. (Not to mention I also haven't had any USENET access for a long time.) I lost the original CVS repository in which newsfish lived... but recently found a backup which included the bugfix to 1.2.5. If anyone wishes to fork or take maintainership of the project, please let me know!

  • Comment: Yafic ignores files over ~2gb in size

    Logged In: YES user_id=124421 yafic was silently ignoring errors from lstat(), which can occur when you try to stat() a 2GB+ file with only a 32-bit st_size. On Solaris and Linux, you can compile yafic with 64-bit file size support by running configure like so: env CFLAGS="-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -O2" ./configure This has been noted in the README (it might make its way into a...

  • Comment: Make Transaction obsolete after commit

    Logged In: YES user_id=124421 I guess I've misunderstood SQLObject's transaction semantics then. (I guess .commit() has an implied .begin(), while .rollback() does not?) I'll have to look at SQLObject deeper, since basically the effect I am looking for is to force all objects to re-fetch their values (when they are used) after .commit(). (It looks like .sync() may do this for an...

  • xmlrpclib.DateTime.decode() should stringify argument

  • Make Transaction obsolete after commit

    This patch makes Transaction.commit() mirror the actions taken in Transaction.rollback(), namely expiring cached objects and marking the Transaction obsolete. I was motivated to make this change because I noticed my number of database connections growing without bound and I realized why - after calling trans.commit(), the underlying DBConnection was not being released back into the...

  • Database signing/verification

    1.2alpha3 has been released which adds database signing and verification features. See the notes for details, as the man page has not been updated. So far only tested on FreeBSD/Mac OS X. Will try it out on a few Linux distros once I get a chance. Please send any feedback/bug reports/patches to me. Thanks!

  • 1.2alpha released

    I just uploaded 1.2alpha. I added per-type flag masks, where you can basically modify which attributes are checked based on the type of file. If you don't modify the masks, the behavior should be exactly as that of 1.1.1. (If not, let me know!) See yafic.conf(5) for more info on this feature. I'm not quite sure how or where to use this feature though. ;)
