You might not think you should blog. I think you should.

I like your thoughts! I want to be able to read them!

Common RSS URL extensions

I like blogs. I like RSS feeds. Often, blogs don't have an RSS feed link. Often, these blogs do have an RSS feed, thanks to whatever site generator they use.

Thus, I like to try and find the hidden feed. These are the URLs I usually put on the URL to try and find the feed.

For example, blog.alifeee.co.uk -> blog.alifeee.co.uk/feed.xml

/feed

How to run things as a service on Ubuntu

I run things on my server. I'd like to run them in the background, so they restart when the server restarts.

I was running them "in the background" with tmux, which I had to set up again every time the server restarted. This was annoying. So, here I run them as a service.

I had a vague knowledge of services, because some things I use are one, like nginx and murmur for mumble.

#!/bin/bash
# combines SquareSpace RSS feeds
# Squarespace default feed (e.g., https://www.treehousesheffield.com/events?format=rss) only returns the current month
# This script fetches the current month and the next two months and combines them into a single RSS feed
# The script is intended to be run as a cron job
# It should work for any SquareSpace site (assuming they use the same query variable format)
# usage e.g.,
#  ./combinerss.sh https://www.treehousesheffield.com/events?format=rss > /var/www/html/treehousesheffield.com/events.rss

# get today month and year
