Some of them will, yes. Not all of them. This will still be a positive outcome.
"If you're not on board with AI you're going to get left behind"
Boost if you'd like to be left behind and would consider paying extra for a life without this bullshit.
... Except that ed25519 isn't ECDSA, it's EdDSA.
Similar enough that it doesn't really matter for the above advice, but still.
Anything ECDSA will do really, though some curves are better than others.
Personally I have an RSA key for annoying old machines and a NIST P-384 key for everything else, but ed25519 is pretty popular too and in the same ball park.
Some people don't like the NIST curves because the NSA muddled with Dual_EC_DRBG, but that incident was suspected before confirmed by Snowden, and no similar suspicions exist for the NIST curves.
When you mention something like that, it's good style to link to an example for those of us that are interested but lazy 😉

There are, however, plenty of tools that convert markdown to HTML, and VB6 is able to display that.
So all you need is something that runs in your build system to convert the markdown to HTML and you're golden.
According to https://metacpan.org/release/BOBTFISH/Text-Markdown-1.000031/source/Makefile.PL, perl's Text::Markdown runs on perl 5.8. I would be very surprised if you couldn't get that to run on Windows 98?
But then, big amount of yak shaving, that.
FOSDEM Junior Call for Participation https://fosdem.org/2026/news/2025-11-09-junior/
Ik zag onlangs een weerstation op de Shelly website:
https://www.shelly.com/products/ecowitt-ws90-7-in-1-weather-station
Ik heb er zelf geen ervaring mee, maar heb wél ervaring met andere Shelly-producten. Hun protocol werkt zonder cloud en kan rechtstreeks (lokaal) in home assistant geduwd worden. Dat geeft je meteen open data?
While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973
Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition
We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum
meep meep (yes, beep beep, I know)
Needs more anvils, rockets and ACME bird seed
Edit: as people in the threat pointed out, this is potentially AI generated
Might be required for a tag that needs to send data back to a station which it's driving past at whatever the legal speed limit is in the relevant jurisdiction?

Why do people write a wall of text when a simple "hey, Fedora 43 is out, can you provide packages?" would have sufficed?
I will never understand that.
I moved to South Africa in 2019, having lived for 40 years in Belgium before that.
Belgium has DST, South Africa does not.
Before the move, I thought the DST change affected me for about a week or so.
I now know that it actually affects me the whole year round. My daily rhythm has stabilized over the past few years. I consistently wake up with the Sun now, which I could never do before the move.
DST is a terrible idea.
TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-funding-statement.html
