Sadly, neither ChatGPT nor Claude can handle converting a list of 12 hex colors to RGB properly. They do it but mess up the order, so I still have to check everything by hand. Meh.

We announced the new native Go FIPS 140-3 mode today!

FIPS 140, like it or not, is often a requirement, and I was increasingly sad about large deployments replacing the Go crypto packages with non-memory safe cgo bindings.

Go is now one of the easiest and most secure ways to build under FIPS 140.
The FIPS 140-3 Go Cryptographic Module
Go now has a built-in, native FIPS 140-3 compliant mode.

go.mod now has an additional zero before timestamp, is this something new added in 1.23? Somehow missed this change until today.

TrunkVer (trunkver.org) is the just extra steps for v0.0.-

However, idea of including CI job looks interesting. The only question: how it will help when CI job log will disappear? :(
TrunkVer
TrunkVer is a SemVer-compatible versioning scheme for continuously-delivered, trunk-based applications and systems that don't follow a release scheme.

Try to guess why this command returns empty string:

```
systemctl list-units --type=service --all --no-pager | grep '^pref.*'
```

Yes, you're totally right: because every line starts with 2 spaces which breaks ^ in regexp.

argh.

Finally I bought USB-C do DisplayPort 1.4 (made by UGREEN) and guess who have 4K @ 160Hz.

BTW, somehow MBP M1 Pro handles only 144Hz but M3 Pro does 160Hz.
