schestowitz                                        <p>Today, my focus will be on IrfanView, a small, elegant image viewer for Windows, which I've been using with delight for decades now. It's got everything one needs, and often more than the competitors, hence this bold foray of using it in Linux despite the fact there are tons of native programs available. But let's proceed slowly and not get too far ahead of ourselves. After me.</p>Jun 01 05:02

schestowitz                                        <p>Let’s make this quick, as you probably have a pretty good idea already.</p>Jun 01 05:07
schestowitz                                        <p>Arduino User Groups are in-person gatherings of makers who use, love and engage with Arduino’s products, services, software and online communities. They can be a part of your existing makerspace, club or hackerspace. Or it can be entirely dedicated to the world of Arduino. That’s totally up to the organizers.</p><p>It’s an extension of our huge online community into the meat space. It’s somewhere Jun 01 05:07
schestowitzpeople can learn, share and teach others all about Arduino, IoT projects, electronics and more. And Arduino will be there to support AUGs every step of the way.</p><p>Most importantly, AUGs are there to represent and spread the open source philosophy upon which Arduino was founded. It’s all about sharing, learning and community.</p>Jun 01 05:07

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-.netrc pains | daniel.haxx.seJun 01 07:55
schestowitz                                        <p>The .netrc file is used to hold user names and passwords for specific host names and allows tools to login to those systems automatically without having to prompt the user for the credentials while avoiding having to use them in command lines. The .netrc file is typically set without group or world read permissions (0600) to reduce the risk of leaking those secrets.</p>Jun 01 07:55

schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Jun 01 09:17
schestowitz                                        <p>Perhaps it this has something to do with the backlash, not just against me and my work, but against others who use and participate in that work. It’s not enough to dislike my programming language, but the skeptics must publicly denounce it and discourage others from using it. It’s irresponsible, if not immoral, to design a language without a borrow checker in 2022. SourceHut’s email-oriented approach Jun 01 09:17
schestowitzmight not be for everyone, and instead of simply not using it, skeptics must harass any projects that do. This kind of harassment is something I hear about often from many maintainers of projects on SourceHut. It breaks my heart and I feel helpless to do anything about it.</p>Jun 01 09:17
