If you’re using jenny on Python 3.12, it will spit out a deprecation warning regarding datetime.utcnow(). This will be fixed in the next release.
I think I’ll be doing this again:

The source code of “DOS 4” was released:
https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4.0
Not without issues:

(Hence “DOS 4” in quotes, is it 4.00 or 4.01? Probably the latter.)
More DOS 4 history:
I just found out about last(1) and lastb(1) while wondering about /var/log/wtmp. This can come in handy! The filenames remain a bit mysterious: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/127211/why-are-utmp-wtmp-and-btmp-called-as-they-are
Just found a pleasant way to wade through meetings: listening to Puccini’s “La Bohème”. Glorious!
Today in the news
Microsoft is a security risk
And this one with a GUI text editor xed just in case… lorem lipsum and stuff. it looks like this one didn’t get affected at all! Hmmmm… Maybe the environment variable is called VISUAL for a reason? 🤨 207 characters and counting…
Filler text for a different terminal to see if it’s going to be
differ… Nope! Still got the new line. 🫠
logs/blog: processing some feelings
We have great April weather over here. Yesterday sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, hail, sun, hail, sun, rain, etc. It didn’t hail today, but sun alternatd with rain a bunch of times. Went out this evening and boy, what an absolutely gorgeous scenery!
I took advantage of the last sunny, but also 25°C hot day and hiked in the woods. It was so much more pleasant in the forest than out in the sun. The wind could have been a long stronger with that heat. I was completely soaked.
At one point I thought I better grab my camera out of my backpack, so whenever something comes up, I’m ready. But I was too lazy and thought, well, I just wait until there is a nice subject and keep going instead. No joke, ten meters further I came across two squirrels. A red and a brown one, sitting on a tree at just one and three meters height two meters away from me. If I only had unpacked my bloody cam a few seconds ago! I just watched them sit on the tree and then tried to slowly strip my backpack and grad the cam. It was still booting up when they decided it was enough sitting around and climbed higher. What a silly move on my end, damn.
I tried to improvise some Lyse Street View, but felt really uncomfortable to photograph other people’s houses. Somehow my cam produced sooo many blurred shots on the way up still away from the village, it’s unbelievable. I scrapped nearly the entire project. Only very few survived. There were heaps of people on the mountain summit, so I quickly left again.

Looking forward to next week’s rain and temperature drop to 16°C or even 8°C.
Is this for real?
According to this news piece, #Chechnya is placing a #ban on slow or fast music. And 120bpm is already too fast for them: all music should “correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute”.
I’m tempted to organize a to-be-banned music compilation now…

I wanted to see if anybody had made a Gopher library for Go(lang) and turns out, I know the guy who did 😂 @prologic@twtxt.net

Microsoft’s new era of AI PCs will need a Copilot key, says Intel
Intel, Microsoft, Qualcomm, and AMD have all been pushing the idea of an “AI PC” for months now as we head toward more AI-powered features in Windows. While we’re still waiting to hear the finer details from Microsoft on its big plans for AI in Windows, Intel has started sharing Microsoft’s requirements for OEMs to build an AI PC — and one of the main ones is that an AI PC must have Microsoft’s Copilot … ⌘ Read more
Hello! How is everyone?

TrueNAS CORE 13 is the end of the FreeBSD version
Bad news from BSD land – the oldest vendor of BSD systems is changing direction away from FreeBSD and toward Linux. NAS vendor iXsystems has been busy this year, but apart from some statements in online user communities, it hasn’t been talking about the big news. Back in 2022, we covered TrueNAS CORE 13, the new release of its FreeBSD-based turnkey OS for NAS servers, and in that article we mentioned its new product, the Debian-base … ⌘ Read more
if you are not in a “central country” you are screwed. I thought it would be a good idea to promote a LiberaPay page to build some patronage to my free/open projects, but in Brazil LiberaPay can only handle PayPal and it integrates poorly, it doesn’t accept Reais! If you try a direct PayPal donation button it works much better: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5B4MZ78C9J724 … this is so frustrating.
This is interesting allowing to access a Web with SSH, although a bit complicated for the ‘regular’ user

I’d expect some one-time password, or some challenge to copy and paste. Anyway, it always makes mi think of alternatives to passwords.
