Version 0.2.8 of the post office has added the `get pageText` service, which calls the linux `html2text` tool, which outputs the text of the web page to unicode. This is particularly helpful for building one's own lean and searchable archive.

This week the rss scanner and collector modules will run alongside the old Node.js monolith (which was only designed last year..) in a production stage. It is probably going to be a external worker of the post office too, providing change notification service. If no more snags pop up, I'll be writing documentation.

This is the re3warding part.

The post office is about to adopt the Mongoose web server. It serves the purpose well, beating Lua Turbo hands down, both in memory size (960kB) and for its purpose of serving non-cached.

But I thought i would ask if there are better alternatives for this particular purpose on Linux? Thx.

The post office is about to adopt yq as a service, notably for converting RSS feeds to JSON. It serves the purpose well, but I thought i would ask if there are better alternatives for this particular purpose on Linux? Thx.

It does a avg job in ~40ms (on my 12 yr old machine).
