also the only reason i had to open word at all was because the pdf didn't have fillable form fields. it's 2026, we shouldn't have this problem anymore, we've had the technology to fix this for many, many years even atril on linux supports filling in form fields, they just have to, you know, be there

spent all of yesterday morning fighting with a docx in word that was exported from a pdf file, i get it looking approximately correct (only minor spacing and font differences) and out of morbid curiosity opened it in libreoffice to see how bad it looked (it was bad.) closed libreoffice and just shook my head

proprietary "standards" will never work

to be fair it wasn't a complete cobol parser, more like it added or removed the required line numbers, reformatted the code, and automated the calling of the compiler commands so i could write simple cobol code in notepad and get a compiled binary by running a single script, instead of having to do the awful 9 step compile process from whatever development environment the college was using to teach at the time. it was also written in jscript, so not quite javascript but very similar

the english language really is unsuitable for communicating anything serious when "up high" and "a pie" can be pronounced identically, for example:

"i need you to get something, up high"

"i need you to get something, a pie"

to follow up on this post, yes it is possible, and quite easy to do. sqlite3 actually has some neat features that are probably going to help me simplify some things and eliminate the need for a tiny utility python script i had to write

@nytpu instead of duplicating a bunch of the spider's code, could you make a new parent class to replace monster and have the spider inherit from that, and have the new parent class implement tameable?

@gayint@infosec.exchange so in the asnsToPrefixes page you say you'd appreciate hearing about what people have done with the script, so have some bash: for line in "${asn_list[@]}";do res_json=$(curl -fsSL "https://stat.ripe.net/data/announced-prefixes/data.json?resource=AS${line}") if [ ! -z "${res_json}" ];then # convert json into iptables rules.v4 lines echo "${res_json}" | jq -r '.data.prefixes[].prefix' | grep -v ':' | sort -g | sed "s/^/-A INPUT -s /;s/$/ -m comment --comment \"drop AS${line}\" -j DROP/" else echo "Error: Unable to retrieve json for ${line}" fi done hopefully this is useful to someone, the sed expression could be modified to output other blocklist formats if needed, and rules.v6 output could be easily added as well
