First-ever Gitea pull request from a remote instance!!! 🎉🥳

https://git.exozy.me/Ta180m/Hello-world/pulls/3

I've been waiting for this moment for months now!

The code hasn't been pushed to https://gitea.com/Ta180m/gitea yet since it's incredibly messy, but I'll clean it up tomorrow and also submit a draft pull request to upstream Gitea.

(Technical implementation information: https://gitea.com/Ta180m/gitea/issues/7)

There will be a thing for Assembly, the demoparty here in Finland that turns 30 this year.

NO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW IT TURNS 30.

And the IMPORTANT part:

You're encouraged to participate. (Voting wise.)

Seriously, please tune in and see what is going on and participate. Yes, even folks who don't have a CLUE what the 'demoscene' is, I'm all for you learning what it is via this.

Yes, boostage allowed/encouraged.

Now, it SHOULD be on the Assembly twitch channel, which is https://www.twitch.tv/assemblytv .

(I'm avoiding ANOTHER discussion of the Assembly website right now.)

"There is little doubt that the development of automatic coding will influence the design of computers.... Instructions added only for the convenience of the programmer will be omitted since the computer, rather than the programmer, will write the detailed coding."

I wrote a tool 'diridp' that generates JWTs as local files. You can use it to replace AWS access keys in your apps, for example.
