• Who will be remembered 500 years from now?

  I went to famousbirthdays.com and searched on 1400's, and a lot of fairly well-known names came up as being living as of the year 1523 (500 years ago). Henry VIII, Martin Luther, Copernicus, Macchiavelli, and many many more. Source: about 1 year ago

• It was 14 years ago today that we lost him again.

  What drugs is famousbirthdays.com on to make that conclusion? Source: about 1 year ago

• 👀 Looking for people willing to collaborate on open-source projects. (TypeScript, React, Vue, NextJS, Rust, ML, NER, NLP devs needed)

  - neuwiki: a different approach to a wiki. All sections are pages by themselves, which makes embedding sections on multiple pages easier (for pages about similar topics or for a pages in a different languages). I'm building it because I've long wanted to create an open-source, open-data/open-knowledge website with detailed information about influencers (something like wikipedia.org + famousbirthdays.com, but...

• Taskmaster contestants listed in age order

  I compared everyone's birth dates (from Wikipedia and famousbirthdays.com, so maybe not 100% accurate), with the date of their first aired episode (because when the series were actually filmed isn't freely available knowledge), and it turns out that the oldest contestant was Jo Brand, 62 at the time the series aired.

• Systemd Rolling Out "run0" As sudo Alternative

  Good news! Run0 will use polkit[1], which uses JavaScript for its rules[2], so there's no limit on how complex your rules can get! On the other hand, maybe adding a JavaScript interpreter to Linux's trusted computing base isn't such good news...

• TfL's simple pop-up message led to a significant drop in paper ticket sales

  Apparently there are some stations which still have ticket gates, but I haven't seen any in the rather short time I've been in the Netherlands - they seem to be concentrated in metropolitan areas[1], and I've only been in the somewhat more rural[2] province of Limburg. As it happens, though, I have never actually used the OV-chipcard myself, as I always use an Interrail pass when travelling any further than... - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• Systemd Wants to Expand to Include a Sudo Replacement

  Uh, depending on exactly how it's implemented, it could break a lot of things. If all you are using sudo on is a personal (i.e. Single user) laptop/desktop to install packages, this (along with other things like pkexec or doas) would seem to present no issues (and personally, from what I can see, I'd be happy to run `run0` on my personal systems!), but sudo does significantly more than that,... - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• Ask HN: What do you think about a subscription based social media?

  Oh, TIL about https://mastodon.social/ (https://joinmastodon.org/) Looks like what you describe, doesn't it? > Social networking that's not for sale. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• AltStore. The first Apple approved alternative App Store

  Getting some Qs about Delta availability, hope this clarifies things! • Delta is exclusive to AltStore in EU • Because of Apple’s new dev terms, all downloads in EU cost us €0.50/yr in AltStore PAL and App Store…so couldn’t offer Delta in EU App Stores without making it paid • App Store only supports one-time paid-upfront apps, so we’d have to pick a price that could support ~years of CTFs • PAL’s €1.50... - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago
