Ruarí Ødegaard<p>Well it took some effort but now I can read Aftenposten from the terminal, with <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Newsboat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Newsboat</span></a> and <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LynxBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LynxBrowser</span></a>.</p><p>Complications were:</p><p>1. Setting up Lynx with the right compile time and config file options for saving/loading login cookies and display of Norwegian characters.<br>2. Working out how to login in the first place (there is a bunch of Javascript, switching between sites and also 2FA)*.</p><p>* In the end I logged in with Vivaldi and then used an extension to export all the relevant cookies into a format that Lynx could use. It was just easier. 🤷</p>
José Luis CarrascoTiene su punto retro-futurista el navegar desde la terminal. Eso hace Lynx: Internet en formato texto. Sin banners publicitarios, sin páginas que devoran tu RAM y de código abierto.
