Trump and Vance expressed some frustration that Russia isn’t going along with their peace push.
“But it never comes with demands that Russia make concessions, nor a renewed commitment to Ukraine’s defense that could force Russia into a real deal. And it quickly snapped back to Trump excusing Putin.”

Esse aqui é um projeto que fiz ano passado quando tava estudando na DevMedia, projeto pronto.
Agora to recriando ele pra implementar MVC + Twig Template + um BackEnd em PHP.
O projeto em si era uma página estática de um Petshop.
Agora tô alterando pra fazer um sisteminha de cadastro pra animais de estimação.
Talvez pode ser útil pra quem tem muitos bichos e precisa controlar o nome, algum dado importante sobre ele, como data de vacinas, ração, etc.
Não devo desenvolver muito profundamente, já que é pra portfólio.
Mas é tão satisfatório ver esse pequeno avanço! 😋
A imagem mostra uma tela dividida em duas partes. À esquerda, há uma janela aberta de um navegador web exibindo um site chamado "Pet Life," que parece ser um serviço para registrar informações de animais de estimação. O site tem um design clean e moderno, com um cabeçalho que inclui o logotipo "Pet Life" e o slogan "Cuidando do seu melhor amigo." O banner principal exibe a frase "Registre Todas as Informações do Seu Pet!" com um botão "Adicionar agora" em destaque. Abaixo do banner, há uma seção intitulada "Alguns dos Nossos Serviços," que lista serviços como cadastro completo, saúde e bem-estar, e detalhes importantes. A imagem de fundo do banner mostra o rosto de um cachorro.
À direita, há uma janela de um editor de código, provavelmente um IDE (Integrated Development Environment), com código escrito em JavaScript. O código está organizado em várias seções, com comentários e estruturas de código visíveis. O editor tem um tema escuro, com linhas de código coloridas para facilitar a leitura. A barra lateral do editor mostra uma estrutura de arquivos, indicando que o desenvolvedor está trabalhando em um projeto web.
A imagem sugere que alguém está desenvolvendo ou editando o site "Pet Life," possivelmente adicionando ou atualizando funcionalidades relacionadas ao cadastro e gerenciamento de informações de animais de estimação.

Your art history post for today: by El Greco (Doménikos Theotokópoulos, active in Spain 1541–1614), St. Jerome, ca. 1590–1600, oil on canvas, 43 1/2 x 37 1/2 in. (110.5 x 95.3 cm), The Frick Collection, New York. #arthistory #art
From the museum: “St. Jerome (ca. 342–420), one of the four great Doctors of the Western Church, is venerated for his ascetic piety and for his monumental Latin translation of the Bible, represented here by the large volume on which he rests his hands. Following an old convention, the artist depicts him in the robes of a cardinal. This composition proved popular and was produced in at least four versions by El Greco and his shop; one of these is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.”
The bond market sell-off has raised concerns among investors due to its impact on the United States government bonds, which are typically considered low-risk and sought-after. The recent increase in yields, caused by the sell-off, has made the U.S. government and taxpayers pay more. The sell-off could signal a deeper issue in financial markets and potentially lead to a recession.

Open Source Hiding in Plain Sight
On the podcast, [Tom] and I were talking about the continuing saga of the libogc debacle. [Tom] has been interviewing some of the principals involved, so he’s got some first-hand perspective on it all – you should really go read his pieces. But the short version is that an old library that many Nintendo game emulators use appears to have cribbed code from both and open-source real-time operating system called RTEMS, and the Linux kernel itself.
You probably know Linux, but RTEMS is a high-reliability RTOS for aerospace. People in the field tell me that it’s well-known in those circles, but it doesn’t have a high profile in the hacker world. Still, satellites run RTEMS, so it’s probably also a good place to draw inspiration from, or simply use the library as-is. Since it’s BSD-licensed, you can also borrow entire functions wholesale if you attribute them properly.
In the end, an RTOS is an RTOS. It doesn’t matter if it’s developed for blinking LEDs or for guiding ICBMs. This thought got [Tom] and I to thinking about what other high-reliability open-source code is out there, hidden away in obscurity because of the industry that it was developed for. NASA’s core flight system came instantly to mind, but NASA makes much of its code available for you to use if you’re interested. There are surely worse places to draw inspiration!
What other off-the-beaten-path software sources do you know of that might be useful for our crowd?

I recently bought a couple of YubiKey security keys. These support FIDO2/U2F, integrate well with #SSH
In researching how to do this, I found a lot of pages online with poor instructions. In many cases, they suggested insecure practices.
It turns out this whole process is quite easy. But I wanted to understand how it worked.
So, I figured it out, set it up myself, and then ut up a new, comprehensive page on my website: complete.org/easily-using-ssh-… .
