That's Weird

Take a look at Ilham's posting in planet:






with the original post:







Why the encoding is different?
Why Firefox doesn't render well in planet, but does its job well in the original site?

Well, I think because of this one:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
It is one of the html head meta. But, it's not affecting well when I tried to simulate it. Hmm...

After using convmv and Kate (use the 2 tools differently), the file was forced to be considered as UTF-8. Still, the text is not human readable (though little amount of character was rendered nicely).

And then, when I used ViM, the text was rendered the same. So, I came to a conclusion with 2 possibilities:

  1. I conclude that our RSS machine, which is planet, uses 8-bit ISO 8859-1 encoding (Latin-1) as default encoding. Thus, the XML was parsed into Latin-1, not a 8-bit UTF-8 encoding. The fault is on the RSS Machine.
  2. Firefox mistakenly read the file as ISO 8859-1 and converted the fonts into wrong 8-bit encoding. This is because the META tag was missing in planet. So, Firefox handle the file with default encoding, which is ISO 8859-1.
Which is it?

I think it's #1, coz my system already an UTF-8 and my Firefox's default encoding is UTF-8, dunno was though. But, there is a stong lead to the #2. Need more justification, though.

    EDIT: OK, sekarang gw jg ud bisa render dengan benar. Setelah diteliti kemungkinan Fx secara default gunain ISO-8895-1 sebagai default. Kemaren gw ganti jadi UTF-8 dan ngebuang cache planet dan jadi.

    Still, tag META harusnya ada di planet biar browser gag maen tebak2 berhadiah

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

Installing Goodix Fingerprint Reader Driver on Fedora

I currently have a Lenovo Thinkpad L14 laptop equipped with fingerprint. I was `belok` from KDE Neon to use Fedora 40 because of someone. Now I am tempted to enable my fingerprint: lsusb | grep -i fingerprint Bus 001 Device 004: ID 27c6:55b4 Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Fingerprint Reader Dump the firmware Assuming this is a fresh install, lets do some magic by getting some dependencies: sudo dnf install gcc git python-pip python-devel openssl Let's get the source code: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/goodix-fp-linux-dev/goodix-fp-dump.git cd goodix-fp-dump Create an isolated Python environment: python -m venv .v source .v/bin/activate Do the magic: sudo su pip install -r requirements.txt python run_55b4.py exit There are some python scripts available. I run run_55b4.py because my device ID is 27c6: 55b4 . It will spell some nonsense, which is a good thing. That nonsense actually the firmware captured by our device. Also, I typed exit becaus...

Vibe Coding Workflow

I am currently working for having A.I. workflow for generating projects. There are two things that need to be tackled for that: 1) hallucinations; and 2) old codes. I have met several patterns to tackle those two and just need to formulate the patterns into a general flow. Thankfully, a video of building fullstack app using A.I. from Raf Dev channel inspired me to make the formulation. He used multiple A.I. engines to his need: He used Google Gemini to onboard his ideas and summarized it. He forked a boilerplate of NextJS project into a new project. Then, he added the summary from Google Gemini into a file for context. He used QWEN Code, a QWEN3 code engine that is a fork from Gemini CLI, to build the project. When working with an existing project, A.I. will take the whole project as a context. It also means that it will stick with the version used by the libraries. It also will try to update its knowledge based on the common pattern in the project. Most of the time, it will use the c...
