Moose Madness is a sapphic shifter romance novella (on the short side for a novella) by the same author as Wolf Country. It was originally published in the anthology Her Wild Soulmate, which appears to be very out of print. Maggie (she hates the nickname Moose) grew up in Moose Point, a tiny fictional highway town i...

Although I am a Debian Developer (not very active, BTW) I am using Ubuntu LTS (right now version 24.04.1) on my main machine; it is my work laptop and I was told to keep using Ubuntu on it when it was assigned to me, although I don’t believe it is really necessary or justified (I don’t need support, I don’t provide ...

I read it as part of the Uncertain Sanctuary omnibus, which is reflected in the sidebar metadata. At the end of the last book, one of Kira's random and vibe-based trust de...

Dark Matters is the fourth book in the science fiction semi-romance Class 5 series. There are spoilers for all of the previous books, and although enough is explained that you could make sense of the story starting here, I wouldn't recommend it. As with the other books in the series, it follows new protagonists, but...

I keep saying I'm "done" with my CP/M emulator, but then I keep overhauling it in significant ways. Today is no exception. In the past the emulator used breakpoints to detect when calls to the system BIOS, or BDOS, were made. That was possible because the BIOS and BDOS entry points are at predictable locations. For ...

The fourteenth release of the qlcal package arrivied at CRAN today, following the QuantLib 1.37 release two days ago. qlcal delivers the calendaring parts of QuantLib.

I watch a lot of films. Since “completing” the IMDB Top 250 back in 2016 I’ve kept an eye on it, and while I don’t go out of my way to watch the films that newly appear in it I generally sit at over 240 watched. I should note I don’t consider myself a film buff/critic, however. I watch things for enjoyment, and a...

The ttdo package extends the excellent (and very minimal / zero depends) unit testing package tinytest by Mark van der Loo with the very clever and well-done diffobj package by Brodie Gaslam to give us test results with visual diffs (as shown in...

Pretty much exactly a year ago, I posted about how I was trying out this bcachefs thing, being cautiously optimistic (but reminding you to keep backups). Now I'm going the other way; I've converted my last bcachefs filesystem to XFS, and I don't intend to look at it again in the near future. What changed in the mean...

What is HMAC? HMAC stands for Hash-Based Message Authentication Code. It’s a specific way to use a cryptographic hash function (like SHA-1, SHA-256, etc.) along with a secret key to produce a unique “fingerprint” of some data. This fingerprint allows someone else with the same key to verify that the data hasn’t been...
