This is really neat. The go fix command is a great way to keep code bases current. It now lets you apply this to your own code - or for library developers to help keep your code current. #golang

This is a screenshot of a logout banner. Using figlet it starts with the name of the machine in yellow "office". Then it has a table with a single word on the left column and related data on the right: user kevin host office tty /dev/pts/8 time 2026-03-13 19:36:48 GMT kernel Linux 6.12.62+rpt-rpi-2712 Login kevin sshd pts/8 2026-03-13 19:36 (192.168.4.143) uptime 2 weeks, 4 days, 10 hours, 20 minutes Load 4.02, 2.84, 2.79 quota /home 946 926 956 mail no new mail procs 119 process(es) still attached to your uid vcsh cryp(0/0) desk(0/0) home(0/0) past(0/0) Then there's a fortune blurb: Be careful when a loop exits to the same place from side and bottom. And finally a right justified figlet in red: "goodbye"
My entertainment this week was recreating my old ~/.logout file. Sadly X terminals don't support double height chars, but I think I came up with a more modern take on it.

@Inoreader is getting sent to https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/cspace-old-browser.html on @cks 's blog. As an aside, I'd really like to be able to tell inoreader to only scrape an rss feed once a day. That's enough for some blogs.
@b0rk Also, not sure if it was clear, but man -T dig will emit a postscript version of the man page. Each section has an intro page and that would be printed at the front of the book. There were 7 "manuals" and they were generated by the man command.
In BSD, those intro pages are better […]
@b0rk I've used roff in the past and it's always intimidating at first and then rather simple. vi actually supports it rather well - the { and } operations understand roff paragraphs.
And yes, it does seem that BSD man pages are better maintained. But you're doing a bit to fix that. I've added […]
…One of the two men told investigators that their motive had to do with the disrespect of #Muslims by #JakeLang, the #FarRight provocateur who led the demonstration, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the matter but not authorized to speak about the investigation.

Did Penny Mordaunt really offer to introduce British troops to a guy from Belfast so he could meet people who protect his freedom?
Wild.
Is there an "Illegal in California" website yet? I want to know what operating systems to support.
Is Israel at war with Iran? Like, are Israeli officials calling it a war?

Happy International Women's day — I'm currently in Luxemburg and will participate in the women's march with ~5000 participants expected. The political party déi Lénk has achieved a historic win in making abortion a right just this week!
Still, there's lots to do […]

@mawhrin What don't I want to know?
@cdarwin Bondi is getting nervous.
The Irish Allianz site is down due to maintenance. This is broken for two reasons - it's 2026 and a site has to be taken down to do what is likely just a
software upgrade? And, worse yet, Allianz are dragging their staff in on a weekend to work?
The finance and game industries treat their tech […]
Map of the Nazifascist massacres in Italy, 1943-1945
Each dot in this picture is a Nazi-fascist massacre in Italy that happened between 1943 and 1945.
This is the result of a project that lasted years, summarized by the Atlante cells Stragi Nazifasciste https://www.straginazifasciste.it/
6000 of them, the […]

I have to say, I really think the reputation of the FIFA Peace Prize is going to be tarnished by this.
Read this if you want a reminder why people still hang out on #X / #Twitter , #Facebook , #Instagram and so forth.
A lot of people on the #Fediverse assume that the social communities on these platforms could simply reform on the Fediverse. But this isn't going to happen. When a social platform […]
@futurebird Wild how Russia combined all that and repeatedly sent their troops down gas pipelines where they suffocated.
It's been zero days since I last screwed up a boolean comparison...
Those who use X provide attention and feed the algorithm. People are outraged about the consequences, but continue to provide the fuel. This is not a necessity, but convenience – and often fear of losing reach.
Those who describe X as a threat to democracy cannot at the same time want to […]
8086 instruction set implemented in pure css, amazing https://lyra.horse/x86css/
This was fun. I started it last year and decided to finish it off this month. It's a Go port of a VAX/VMS BULLETIN - a message board.It was run at my Uni up until someone managed to use it to break in.
To that end, I used it as an excuse to learn how to use landlock on Linux.
The message board […]
Dear fellow Americans,
Isn't it kind of embarrassing that a monarchy is doing a better job at holding a Prince accountable than a Republic is at holding a President accountable?
Colbert got a massive boost using YouTube to bypass broadcast/cable media. Traditional media ignored Colbert's roasting of Bush at the Whitehouse Correspondence Dinner. They only covered it when the YouTube video of it took off.
The interview the FCC doesn't want you to see.

Q: Why is it so hard to take it seriously when a goat gives birth?
A: Because she's kidding.
Just curious, is there an #EV charger plug count formula for charging sites? I know it's all still a bit new so there's still struggles to get power to sites and enough space, but are there evolving standards on what it should be?
As an example, there's the cube rule in political science about […]
@kboyd I have around 60 containers. I think the memory savings will be rather amazing.
@dneary No idea. I'd like to think no.
