Thank you (and to others such as nowster, hb9hnt and dheadshot) for the continued improvements to snac!
I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.68 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27332
GitHub Continuous Integration checks are running (two out of three completed successfully, which is a good sign, here's hoping the last one has no issues as well).
As usual, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

Believe me, as someone who had two devices pocket "smart" phones die on me this year, so-called "device instability" is a real problem.
But educating me? I'm only on a first name basis with a handful of PhDs in cryptography.
Good thing I am also still a student and open to education.
But might I ask: have you ever been incarcerated or had all of your physical possessions forcibly removed from you?
Because I have and I was still able to regain access to accounts despite that.
Some authentication choices are chosen deliberately for threat models that I don't think passkeys are even beginning to try to comprehend.
There are a lot of authentication mechanisms I avoid because they have extremely bad failure modes.
But I am not here to teach lessons in those to people who think that I need more education, unless you're paying my tuition for me because I already am in debt and homeless.
Meanwhile, to borrow a phrase from a past coworker: "we now have more people [developers] creating problems than we have people [ops] capable of fixing them."

I'm happy to do my small part. Thankfully, others have been helping to improve the MacPort as well. For example, ryandesign/Ryan Carsten Schmidt spotted the error with the man page Warning and provided a fix here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27188#pullrequestreview-2520020203
I had indeed, messed something up! Though thankfully it should be fixed before the update is rolled out to MacPorts' users? -

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.67 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27188
Two of three GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks passed, which is a good sign; hopefully the others will pass without issues.
As usual, it's up to others with commit access to merge it!
Thanks again for your and others' continued improvements to snac! Specifically I noticed shout outs to nowster and Shamar in the RELEASE_NOTES.md and I seem to recall watching the discourse about the PID locking suggested and discussed rather collaboratively too!
(My apologies for the delay. The Makefile was slightly modified, which in turn broke the $files/Makefile.patch applied by MacPorts so I needed to rework that which took me a bit longer than usual given other work obligations I have had today.
Though not a concern for upstream, for MacPorts users I also noticed the following warning when running % port test:
"Warning: violation by /opt/local/man
Warning: snac violates the layout of the ports-filesystems!
Warning: Please fix or indicate this misbehavior (if it is intended), it will be an error in future releases!"
Though, it appears as if the man pages are where I think they should be for MacPorts? I have never seen that Warning before, so my guess is something about MacPorts intended prescriptive behavior has been changed but I am not exactly certain what the expected behavior is supposed to be now? I will look into it further, but hopefully it isn't a concern for users at the moment; just thought I would mention it for the sake of being thorough!
However, it's entirely possible I messed something up too; so if others with greater wisdom than I see that Warning and know what to do to correct it, or if they encounter any other issues with MacPorts' snac, others are more than welcome to submit Pull Requests with improvements! Or feel free to open up an issue on MacPorts Trac instance at https://trac.macports.org and I'll look into it.)

I wandered around tonight to see what the winter walk dealio was.
It was: a let down.
A guy on a Zamboni on the ice rink was probably the most interesting thing?
Some xmas tree and menorah in giant form.
A couple of stages: with no performers! Just big speakers playing crummy Muzak (wirelessly? Bluetooth?)
Some absolutely unappetizing food trucks.
Someone selling overpriced cocktails.
At least I didn’t waste a lot of time wandering, it was sparsely attended.
The best part was probably just having some streets closed and made available to foot traffic. -

2 out of 3 of GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks have passed (and the third is running and hopefully will as well).

Thank you for the continued improvements and bug fixes!

IMHO, it's very telling that the FBI is recommending specifically WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Signal.
All of which use Axolotl/Double Ratchet.
Moreover, writing as someone who personally knows Moxie and another Signal dev, as well as having previously worked with an individual who later became CSO at Facebook.
sigh Let's just say that I don't think Crypto AG or NIST's Dual_EC_DRBG examples of backdoored cryptography were unique nor the last we've seen of such things. I would be extremely leery of anything the FBI ever recommended in E2EE apps. -

That would be my dream living situation; somewhere rural in the trees with a babbling brook/rambling river/hot springs and fiber. ;)
I might forgo the fiber if it were remote enough and the flowing water were good enough.
Also would be great to not be within earshot of planes overhead. Alas, I think satellite light pollution is now global, but I miss being under starry skies.
Let us know how the install goes! -

As someone who was enamored with the 1982 Bell Labs Blit (but has never seen one in person and could never dream of affording such things) and who has monkeyed around with weird MCI codes (the Domain Specific Language for Amiga CNET BBS that was like ANSI++ for lack of a better description, but only if you had an Amiga with decent terminal software [e.g. Terminus]) and all sorts of other strange esoteric terminals; I can't believe I hadn't seen Jexer before. That is rad! Thanks for sharing! -

/me has flash backs of a BBS get together that ended up at Ichi-Riki and someone ordering a hamburger. o.O
That was, a while ago.
Takara in Pacific Grove was one of the better Japanese restaurants in the Monterey Bay area IIRC. I haven't been there since my parents (both of them) were alive though, so like, before 2000 probably? Not sure if it still exists.
There was a decent Japanese restaurant in the Tin Cannery but it is long gone. ;(
One of my friends (who lived in Japan for a while) introduced me to Akaoni in Carmel, and while I only went to it once, it also seemed decent.
There are of course, other Japanese places to be found in that area; I just never found much to like about the ones I tried so I won't mention them by name.

I walked by that place a lot recently and meant to look into it more. Thanks for the reminder! It appears as if they have a section of their menu which can be specified/requested vegan when ordering (I guess they default to fish/oyster sauce?). Good to know! -

I also submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' Got to got-portable0.105 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/26606
The GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks are currently queued. Hopefully they'll pass OK?
Even if they do, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
It looks as if undeadly.org could use a story too, time to see if someone beat me to submissions.

JOE (Joe's Own Editor) I probably haven't used in decades personally?
I seem to recall it was a user friendly ncurses/TUI graphical editor? So like, pico/nano-ish vibes?
I'm strangely experienced enough that I cut my teeth on line editors before I was blessed to have systems which had visual editors and still probably fall back to sed and awk more than a lot of fancier IDE sorts of tools.
Albeit, I once had a theory that line editors might be super popular among those with impaired vision, and when the web started getting indexed by search engines, I finally encountered edbrowse which is sort of the vim, to vi and authored by someone with impaired vision which corroborated that theory. But I think it's written in Perl? I try to avoid things which are written in egregiously inefficient high level languages.
I tend to use whatever the defaults are for reasons not worth getting into, but that means I tend to be more into vi than vim as well.
JOE AFAIK, was never a standard or default editor anywhere, so I never got particularly used to it. I mostly just thought the name was kind of funny.
No doubt you have the power of search engines too, but here's its official presence on the web just in case you don't feel like looking for it:

Does JOE (Joe's Own Editor) make an appearance?
pico and nano seem as if they could have some back story too.
Plan9's Acme and sam as well maybe? -

Someone did a tear down of the new Apple M4 Mac Mini:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO-SeqntnSc
The SSD is removable!
It's probably similar to the Mac Studio and will require some inventive sorts to come up with something to make PCBs for after market upgrades and get the NANDs to be flash-able via DFU mode similar to this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDFCurB3-0Q
Still, surprisingly not as brain dead design given that this is Tim Cook era Apple.
