Let me know if you have good ideas about #elfeed, the #emacs feed reader. Where do you want to see it go? So far I have implemented:

- Search filter and tag completion
- Mouse menus and mouse support in the search buffer
- Command to open entries in the secondary browser
- Generalized remain-on-entry option
- Auto-resizing of title column
- Debounced search buffer update
- Parsing via libxml
- Major modes derive from special-mode
- Removed obsolete code
- Many fixes and robustness improvements

I'm also the first Canadian and the first woman to serve as release manager, and that rocks.

Python 3.15 beta 1 is here 🎉! This release comes packed with so many awesome new features, it's a great time to get yourself familiarized with what's landing via the What's New (https://docs.python.org/3.15/whatsnew/3.15.html)

This means CPython main branch has become Python 3.16, which is my first release as release manager. Not to be sappy but this is such an honour.

We still have 3.15.0 final to look forward to, but if you're antsy, the tentative release schedule for 3.16 is already live

What’s new in Python 3.15

Editor, Hugo van Kemenade,. This article explains the new features in Python 3.15, compared to 3.14. For full details, see the changelog. Summary – Release highlights: PEP 810: Explicit lazy import...

@cks Per your recent post about Ubuntu's SSH daemon no longer automatically regenerating host keys when they're missing¹, the Debian-packaged version has a simpler unit² ³ which does indeed bottom out at calling `ssh-keygen -A`, which I see Andreas mentioned in the post comments.

I don't know why Ubuntu is choosing to override this. That feels weird to me.

Armv6-M CPUs (e.g. Arm Cortex M0+) have 32-bit multiplications but only return the low 32 bits of the result; a software routine must be used to compute the high 32 bits. The one that comes with the C compiler is usually bad (e.g. the one from GCC has cost 61 cycles and is not constant-time). I made a better one (constant-time, 24 cycles for a full 64x64->64 multiplication, 20 cycles for the 32x32->64 variants).

Friends, it has become financially unreasonable for me to keep hosting l.p where it currently is, and we're looking to pitch out tent with Fedihost. One caveat: we need $500 to cover Fedihost's migration fees (that sum would cover l.p's hosting fees for a few months at least by my count).

If you have some loose change in need of a home and want to support what we do here at laserdisc dot party, you will have my eternal thanks. https://ko-fi.com/derekgodin/goal?g=0
