What exactly would be the point of shoving a script that is nothing more than a simple cronjob and that could theoretically just be compiled as a static binary into a Docker container?

Had you replied in a respectful manner, you would have gotten a reply from me with what I think are legitimate reasons for having this script in a docker image.

The required degree of respect was exhausted by the question of what the advantages were. This rampant epidemic of wanting to dump everything into some kind of "container" and "image" was quite funny for a while, but is now just annoying.

Is there a docker image for this?

Dude, it was only a question. You could've just said no instead of going on some weird rant. There are plenty of reasons for containerization, but it seems like engaging in any sort of conversation with you is pointless.

"Dude", I could, but then a valid follow-up would have been something like "why not?", and I think that I have sufficiently covered this.

"Bro", I understand that containerization would make a small amount of sense under the following circumstances:

- The software in question was a giant package with a quadrillion dependencies which all interfere with each other. rssparser.lisp is not.

- The software in question will need to be deployed on a metric ton of very different machines. rssparser.lisp can easily be deployed without this additional layer.

> it seems like engaging in any sort of conversation with you is pointless.

You haven't even tried yet. I'm open for any kind of discussion, but it would probably help both sides if the subject was "how to improve the software", don't you think?

Maybe I misunderstood, this tries to find RSS feeds from sites, not generate RSS feeds for sites that don't have them, right? I've been using RSSPreview addon on Firefox for a couple years to perform this, but I really see the value of a Web service to do this anywhere. Kudos!

The primary objective was to access RSS feeds from various platforms or to create them with known structures to facilitate access to feeds, such as iTunes, SoundCloud, YouTube, and Google Podcasts. Recently, I have incorporated the ability to generate RSS feeds for Spotify shows, as they currently do not provide access to an XML file. However, this feature is limited to shows only and does not include playlists or ar…

> May I ask what purpose you are using the RSSPreview addon for?

Mostly, to have an RSS button in the navigation bar, but I found it useful when checking different feeds for the same page. For instance, I've recently started following some software projects on GitHub, some of which I like to follow by release, while some I like to follow by commit, for example. The preview let me see what each feed shows, and get a feel on the frequency of "news" for each feed.

Hope this can help you, I'm no podcast listener so can't really give you a hint on which podcast-related features I would look for in a news feed.

Someone asked a simple question.

You replied with a comment that ended like so "into a fucking Docker container?"

As a third party here (and not the person you asked), it's fairly easy to assume that someone who pretends to be "Looking forward to feedback" and then responds with "fucking" and being rude is really just trolling here and not interested in reasonable and adult conversations.

At the very least, you know you were wrong, because you've been editing your comments to make it seem less aggressive.

My honest suggestion: apologize, and get offline. There is no reason to be acting like this.

I thought that being rude towards Docker containers - because I /really/ don't like the containerization of every single shell script that is happening these days - will hurt nobody's feelings. It seems that I was wrong. But now that I rephrased the comment, could we please talk about the subject now?
