I had the nerdiest and most dad-jokiest dream. In the dream, we got new neighbours who had a college-aged daughter. When we invited them over for cookies and tea, I started asking the daughter what she was majoring in. She said she was studying linguistics. I then asked what area specifically (since it happens to be a nerdy hobby of mine). She said she was particularly interested in verbs (look, this was a dream, okay?).

"Verbs?" I asked, a bit confused.
"Yes, specifically the indefinite tense."
"That sounds very specific," I remember saying.
"Yes, well, I want to thoroughly research the split infinitive."

I woke up because I was laughing.

The lesson of Y2K was this: if you fix the problem and do a very good job, you will be treated like you didn’t do anything and that the problem wasn’t real to begin with.

Edit: By my standards, this post is "doing numbers". Support my Patreon and/or Ko-Fi (Link in bio)!

Needed to reinstall my secondary workstation, so picked Bluefin to try it out. Hopefully, I'm not too old for it, because... brew? ujust?

This post on post-quantum cryptography sent to the gnupg-users list is both amusing and insightful:

Apparently Vogue magazine is suing a dog-fashion magazine called Dogue: https://people.com/vogue-publisher-conde-nast-suing-parody-dog-fashion-magazine-dogue-11930022

Dogue has a circulation of < 100 and is free online. Also, it's about dogs. Having read the latest issue, it's also absolutely adorable. I'm happy to help Streisand this nonsense: https://thedoguemagazine.com/

I don't often tell someone to RTFM, but when I do, they may have deserved it. ;)

Had Easter dinner with relatives and, sadly, we've reached the "attempt to justify the fact that you work for a US entity" stage.

2-factor-authentication? That's easy. I'm announcing my new authentication scheme (name pending). To access, you have to pass three checks:

- something you don't know
- something you don't have
- something you are not

b4 bugs tui demo -- it's still an early prototype, but it's showing some of the UI for importing a bug from lore, adding a comment, replying to the reporter.

"b4 bugs tui" landed in master, but I'm out of time today to write an announcement. Just some very basic scant details here: https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/maintainer/bugs.html

More tomorrow, along with a proposal how I hope this will help replace bugzilla and augment "just send an email".

Very much experimental, but git-bug views are now enabled on git.kernel.org:
