expect retro computers (ZX Next), programming (assembly), general IT rants, and lot of grumpiness and toxicity.. but with love.

I hadn't seen this one before - someone on reddit posted this fantastic trick for creating shell "runnable" C files
Remember few years ago many people felt impostor syndrome?
I feel a flipped variant of it.
Like many others are just incompetent impostors.
(I mean not in regular way how everyone was promoted up to the level of their incompetence for decades, but somehow boosted way beyond that)

Everyone learned to wipe passwords before free().
for years, the compiler quietly removed it. not because it was broken because it proved nobody would read those bytes again.
security lost to optimization until C23 finally gave us memset_explicit().
Just today I was contemplating about how bad and evil Google has become while I was for millionth time ignoring notifications badge in Google Play app. And that's not even as bad as this video shows.
(and I'm 99% sure it's not lack of skill on Google's side, just pure malice)

If a product requires someone else's server to be up, connected, & maintained to run (without a clear alternative in case it fails), chances are I'll pass on buying that product.
If you buy my lectures, you're guaranteed a full (snapshot) copy of the entire module in case I stop existing or something else prevents me from continuing teaching or supporting the school servers.

Introducing Epic’s version control system: Lore! Built from scratch and open-sourced, we made scalability and performance core tenets from day one.
We’re releasing Lore as open source today.All source code, along with documentation of data formats and protocols are released under an MIT license and free to use. Help shape it into something even more powerful, together: Lore.org
I received third system push notification about some soccer this week on my toy device (android phone w/o SIM card). And I can't disable them. I assume it's Google? Or I got some malware infected? I don't understand why the heck is some sport news in system push notifications. 🤬

this is killing me too, AI output in prose is like a SnR degrader where the end result is a DoS attack on you time and cognitive load.
Meanwhile as part of the .deb packaging WIP we also released v1.23.1, but there are minimal changes for end user, just one feature for MAME breakpoints and documentation improved.
But in case you are curious or you want to stay at latest stable, here:

Ok, I think I'm ready for serious feedback from Debian developers... Need to find one interested into new package of Z80 assembler for Debian distro.
( salsa.debian.org/ped7g/sjasm… has current progress)
ALT gitlab jobs status, all passed (build of binary, build of source package, test/validation jobs)
brewing .deb package of sjasmplus, mood level "desperate and total regret", but at least Salsa CI is all green now (although still wrong in details and needs further changes, sigh)
ALT status of CI pipeline with various build/test jobs marked green
