Re: [PLUG] Slashdot's RSS feed?

They seem to have frozen a few weeks ago.  The feeds have been unstable before, but usually not for this long.  I can't see how it could be just me, but I figured I'd ask.  My update interval is 2 hours, so in theory I shouldn't be banned.  Various googling for news or issues with "Slashdot RSS" is worse than useless.

This looks bad:
```
$ curl -s http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdotMainatom | grep '^<updated>' | head -n1
<updated>2022-06-21T00:29:13+00:00</updated>

$ curl -s http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdotMain | grep '^<dc:date>' | head -n1
<dc:date>2022-06-21T02:48:13+00:00</dc:date>
```

Seems like it started up again some time Friday afternoon.  *I* never got around to reporting anything...

Later,
JP
