telescope VS bedrock

It all starts with an old 400 error that was occurring in Telescope for a while now, first documented here.

Sattelite for the back end

There are a few places to start with this, one is that we have an issue in Telescope that relates to what I think is the session no longer existing in certain situations that results in a 400. This will give me an opportunity to take a look at Telescopes auth flow. I still am kind of unfamiliar with Telescope despite having been in the last OSD course. I know that we use passport SAML in Telescope however and in the new project we will use a different library called SAMLIFY.

The project is currently in the planning phase, and being part of the development team, I have been researching ways to add relevant bits of Satellite in the Remix Blues Stack project, we intend on using for Starchart.

As a good well-established project, Telescope provides a great environment setup guide, which covers most use cases.

It's been a year since I was supposed to work on Telescope for a class. When the war in Ukraine started in February 24th, 2022, I almost fully stopped contributing. Now, this year I am trying to do more, even though it's not my class anymore. Because I wish that I did more back then.

This week, I decided to setup Telescope locally. I had previously contributed to telescope and had set it up already. However, I faced some problems starting it up locally after a shutdown and startup sequence. This was hard to debug since there was no error message, just containers on docker would not start up even after waiting for several minutes. These problems would fix after a restart or just randomly after a few tries. So, I decided to go through the setup again.

Task This week, I try to revisit my setup for running the Telescope project, a single page website that aggregates blog posts.

This week, I finished implementing the feature for filtering out irrelevant feed URLs. Previously, I had added a function for the filtering but had to write the test for it.

The two PRs(1 2) mentioned last time were merged without a hitch. For the one that's about parsing Twitch channel feed URL, the maintainer and I agreed that there should be a follow-up issue opened to expand it to YouTube Channel(s). They also found another bug in the sign-up that should exist as its own issue about the RSS feed URL(s) having incorrect domain. For details about them, please see my last post.

Because I use God's Own Browser, this all came together quickly and worked well. It looked, and behaved, just like one of the JavaScript switcharoos. Then I tested it in Chrome.

Allowing www.mozilla.org and ftp.mozilla.org also doesn't work. So far with those URLs it can detect that a new version is available and starts downloading with zero progress. ftp.mozilla.org at least allows me to manually download an installer but it would be nice to get auto updates working.

If you want, put in four years at a college (or more at a graduate school). This will give you access to some jobs that require credentials, and it will give you a deeper understanding of the field, but if you don't enjoy school, you can (with some dedication) get similar experience on your own or on the job. In any case, book learning alone won't be enough. "Computer science education cannot make anybody an expert programmer any more than studying brushes and pigment can make somebody an expert painter" says Eric Raymond, author of The New Hacker's Dictionary. One of the best programmers I ever hired had only a High School degree; he's produced a lot of great software, has his own news group, and made enough in stock options to buy his own nightclub.

www.mozilla.org

In the past, the developer had encouraged users who wanted to give additional donations to instead donate to nonprofit organizations like the Mozilla Foundation or the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation).

It won't help in this case because they can't resolve the address www.mozilla.org, but there are certain encryption/auth protocols where if your time is out by around 5 minutes you'll fail to establish a connection. An example of this would be at work if you were trying to log in and your client system is either 10 minutes faster or slower than the Active Directory domain controller.

Firefox Browser: Download from www.mozilla.org

The official site is https://www.mozilla.org/ I generally suggest to download the setup file from there since it is guaranteed to be the actual version. The one from the Microsoft store might be older. Either way Mozilla is the company that makes and maintains the Firefox browser. Ublock origin is an extension for the Firefox browser. To find extensions for Firefox open the main menu of the browser and scroll down until you see the word extensions. There you can search for ublock.
