Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

morfik · 2019-10-12 09:31:57

I had the same problems when I started with git. Now I have a live website that is maintained via git: https://github.com/morfikov/morfikov.github.io

And I'm not afraid changing anything because there's always `git reset HEAD~`

TeoBigusGeekus · 2019-10-12 09:33:09

I'm more afraid of git than the scripts failing.

Now it doesn't, but when you're changing files, it does. So you should type this command a lot.

As you can see, I did try to reset the head to ee8e6fc (just before the bad 2b402cc commit), but it didn't help, the ignored files stayed there.

Could you send me the zip?

TeoBigusGeekus · 2019-10-12 13:34:16

Archive sent.

morfik · 2019-10-12 15:44:25

I can't think I can save this. Have you seen how git sees the repo how? Check:

$ git log --all --oneline --graph --decorate --abbrev-commit

There's so huge mess there and there's "Merge branch 'master' of https://gitlab.com/teobigusgeekus/1_accuweather" (3a4f961) commit, which when reset, it wipes everything and sets all files to the point of "Release Candidate 2" . So why have you merged the remote branch into local one?

Do you have the backup zip file that you sent me the other day? I have the zip file you gave me (intact). So maybe you could start with it, because I wouldn't advise to go with the repo you have now.

Also I have some advice for you:

1. always check `git status`
2. after adding files, check `git status`
3. after adding files, check diff via `git diff --cached` -- it will print any change you are about to make via `git commit` .

These 3 steps will save you a lot of nerves.

That's... almost... beautiful...

I using git

I'm thinking of deleting the repository and creating it anew. I'll also abandon the stupid numbers naming scheme and I'll just call the script Accuweather, plain and simple:

I can send you the zip you sent me earlier if you like.

No thanks, I'll nuke that steaming pile of crap and start from the beginning.

Enough about git, do you know a way to get wget to work under a vpn with accuweather?

morfik · 2019-10-12 18:06:44

I don't know, why doesn't it work anyway?

TeoBigusGeekus · 2019-10-12 18:10:00

No idea, it works without a vpn using a random user agent, like "Hi Mark", or "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", or whatever, but if you use a vpn it just hangs there without ever downloading the page.

TeoBigusGeekus · 2019-10-12 22:29:36

ANNOUNCEMENT
Accuweather_conky_script
Pushed everything to a brand new repository, the old one had been massacred beyond recognition. I also changed the name of the script and the script's folder to accuweather and Accuweather_conky_script respectively. The number naming scheme made no sense because problems would arise when new scripts where created or old ones abandoned. It's also a great distraction from the fact that I suck at git.

TeoBigusGeekus · 2019-10-12 22:45:40

@morfik
Can I rename a repository at gitlab?
Can I rename the folder of a script as well?

morfik · 2019-10-12 23:10:46

You can rename repo on gitlab.
You have to rename the folder in the local git repo and git will detect the change -- you will have to add a commit.

TeoBigusGeekus · 2019-10-12 23:14:03

Ok, thanks.
I want to rename the 2_Wunderground script to simply WUnderground.
I'll eventually rename all scripts and repositories.

I can think of a few questions/tests:

which vpn? can you try other vpns?
can you view the website normally via that same vpn? and download it through the browser? also with sth like dillo?
have you tried various proper useragents?
have you tried curl?

And... I might be wrong, but isn't a VPN a sort of proxy? So searching curl's man page for "proxy" could help?

unklar · 2019-10-13 14:25:35

Teo, it's working fine again!
Thank you for your tireless work.

You still have a little mistake in it.
git creates in $HOME the directory accuweather_conky_script

All paths in the script and the files have a capital Accuweather_conky_script

Corrected.
Thanks for the feedback mein Freund!

I use Expressvpn, I cannot try other vpns.

Everything works fine with Expressvpn, graphic browsers or the command line, even the other scripts. The only thing that doesn't work is the Accuweather script, be it with wget, curl, w3m, lynx, etc. with a user agent or without, proper or fake. Without a user agent I get a message that access is forbidden to Accuweather; with a user agent (real or fake) the commands hang there indefinitely, never downloading the page.

I have tried various proper useragents, as I've said before.

Curl doesn't work either, user agent or not.

I did a search on curl's proxy settings but I couldn't find anything.
