In case anybody out there was using my RSS feeds generated from some Hacettepe University announcements pages and from the updates of LingBuzz, they've become offline, because I have deleted my Gitlab account. The reason is simple, Gitlab is a terrible website and it's a hassle to deal with it, so I deleted my account, having run out of patience.

In case you want to take over, this is the source code for the LingBuzz scraper. Note that the readme is out of date, the repo is a fork and the readme pertains only to the original code. My fork applies a couple fixes to the JavaScript, and I used to run it on Gitlab CI, generating RSS inside a Gitlab Pages website. The Hacettepe scrapers worked similarly but their source code isn't public for now, and honestly you don't want it anyways, it's a few lines of Ruby and Nokogiri, and you are better off just periodically looking at the pages. Assuming there were any users of the scripts besides me, of course. But life is full of surprises, isn't it :D
