2023.01 1.0.6 questions

I have my dreamcatcher 2023.01 setup, it is running firmware 1.0.6. It arrived yesterday and I am happy with how easy it was to setup.
I have some questions about what the dreamcatcher is doing:

How long does content that is received stay on the SD card?
Is there a way to get to the files on the dreamcatcher that is not the files frame? Getting a folder view in a browser of the contents of the SD card would be great.
What are all the tbz2 files in messages?

Almost everything that is coming down from the satellite is text. It is frustrating that old devices with simple browsers can not access dreamcatcher content. The OLPC xo can not view the content on the dreamcatcher. A plain text interface option would be nice.

I found how to get the files over html. Replace x.x.x.x with your dreamcatchers ip address. I poked around a bit and found http://x.x.x.x/files/ which showed me
http://x.x.x.x/files/wikipedia/
http://x.x.x.x/files/messages/

http://x.x.x.x/files/News/

http://x.x.x.x/files/uploads/

Each one has a list of what is on the dreamcatcher.

For example on my dreamcatcher I have http://x.x.x.x/files/News/2023-08-29/Boing%20Boing.This%20electric%20dirt%20bike%20can%20be%20your%20kids%20new%20favorite%20gadget%20for%20449.99.html

Now I just need to find a way to turn the listings on the dreamcatcher into something I can copy to another machine.

You may be able to use wget to pull them off of it

I would use curl to pull down the directory listing, jq to filter out the links for the stuff you want, then curl or wget to pull down what you want.
