How is it different from allowing pull requests from rando's on the internet?
Using LLMs for coding has some ecological, legal, and ethical repercussions, but as long as you review the generated code properly the same way you're supposed to review code from 3rd parties, *security* should not be an issue, in my view.
Am I missing something?

"In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.
Le Monde has a long article (https://lemonde.fr/international/article/2025/11/19/nicolas-guillou-juge-francais-de-la-cpi-sanctionne-par-les-etats-unis-face-aux-attaques-les-magistrats-de-la-cour-tiendront_6654016_3210.html) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.
Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.
He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.
That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund
and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.
Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic relations."

Some of them will, yes. Not all of them. This will still be a positive outcome.

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.
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
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
