Feyenoord doorbreekt negatieve reeks en vergroot zorgen Sparta

Dankzij een 3-0 overwinning op Sparta boekte Feyenoord de eerste competitiezege van 2025. Een onnodige handsbal van Pelle Clement opende de saaie derby. Doordat veel andere ploegen onderin wel punten pakten, wordt de situatie van Sparta weer zorgelijker.

Apple Pass push notifications

Dear Lazyweb, do I need to care about this, and if so, what do I do about it? "Apple Push Notification service server certificate update".

Currently I send push notifications for Apple Wallet updates like so:

$ctx = stream_context_create(); stream_context_set_option ($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', $CERT_FILE); stream_context_set_option ($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_pk', $CERT_KEY); ... $server = 'ssl://gateway.push.apple.com:2195'; $fp = stream_socket_client ($server, $err, $errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT|STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx); ... $result = fwrite ($fp, $notes, strlen($notes));

The cert is a "Pass Type ID" from Apple, that expires annually. I don't see anywhere where I previously had to specify a root of trust or intermediate certificates.

Previously.

Grote brand in discotheek Dokkum, NL-Alert verstuurd om rook

DOKKUM (ANP) - In een discotheek aan de Legeweg in Dokkum is zaterdagavond brand uitgebroken. Toen het vuur ontstond was er niemand in de club en er zijn geen gewonden, laat een woordvoerder van de veiligheidsregio weten. Er is een NL-Alert uitgestuurd vanwege de rook, het advies luidt om ramen en deuren te sluiten en ventilatie uit te zetten.

De brandweer is druk bezig om de brand in de Club33 te bestrijden. Een woordvoerder legt uit dat de brand even uitslaand was, maar inmiddels alleen binnen woedt. Onder meer vanwege de dichte bebouwing zijn er veel hulpdiensten aanwezig. "We zetten alles in op behoud van de andere panden", aldus de woordvoerder.


Nihonbashi - Tokyo

Nihonbashi - Tokyo

Nihonbashi (日本橋 (にほんばし), also romanized as Nihombashi) is a business district of Chūō, Tokyo, Japan which sprung up around the bridge of the same name that has linked two sides of the Nihonbashi River at this site since the 17th century. The first wooden bridge was completed in 1603. The current bridge, designed by Tsumaki Yorinaka and constructed of stone on a steel frame, dates from 1911.

History
The Nihonbashi bridge first became famous during the 17th century, when it was the eastern terminus of the Nakasendō and the Tōkaidō, roads which ran between Edo and Kyoto. During this time, it was known as Edobashi, or "Edo Bridge." In the Meiji era, the wooden bridge was replaced by a larger stone bridge, which still stands today (a replica of the old bridge has been exhibited at the Edo-Tokyo Museum). It is the point from which all distances are measured to the capital; highway signs indicating the distance to Tokyo actually state the number of kilometres to Nihonbashi.

The area surrounding the bridge was burned to the ground during the massive March 9–10, 1945 bombing of Tokyo, considered the single largest air raid in history. Despite careful maintenance and restoration, one area of the bridge still has scars burned into the stone from an incendiary bomb. It is one of the few traces left from the fire bombing that leveled most of Tokyo.

Shortly before the 1964 Summer Olympics, an expressway was built over the Nihonbashi bridge, obscuring the classic view of Mount Fuji from the bridge. In recent years, local citizens have petitioned the government to move this expressway underground. This plan was endorsed by Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in 2005, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced in 2017 that they would begin a detailed study of the project, with a goal of beginning construction following the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The operator of the Shuto Expressway received approval for construction in May 2020, which will relocate 1.8 kilometers of the expressway underground between Kandabashi and Edobashi Junctions. Construction has commenced and is expected to be completed in fiscal year 2041.

This is not as much fun as I had thought it would be

On July 1, 2023, a Pentagon official at NASA headquarters calmly stated, 'We see these metallic spheres all over the world, making maneuvers we can't explain...moving at Mach 2 against the wind, with no apparent propulsion." This was a government scientist, discussing objects that defy the laws of physics, in a briefing where the Pentagon and NASA were sharing findings like this after a year of study. This should have been front-page news. Instead, it barely made a ripple in the mainstream media. from NASA's Metallic Orbs: The Surprising Briefing Everyone Missed

The FSF Will Auction the Original GNU Logo Drawing, Stallman's Medal, and an Amiga

The Free Software Foundation "hinted that it would organize an unprecedented virtual memorabilia auction" in March to celebrate this year's 40th anniversary, according to an announcement this week. Those hints "left collectors and free software fans wondering which of the pieces of the FSF's history would be auctioned off."

But Tuesday the FSF "lifted the veil and gave a sneak peak of some of the more prestigious entries in the memorabilia auction."

First of all, the memorabilia auction will feature an item that could be especially interesting for art collectors but will certainly also draw the attention of free software fans from all over: the original GNU head drawing by Etienne Suvasa, which became the blueprint for the iconic GNU logo present everywhere in the free software world.

The list of memorabilia for sale also entails some rare and historic hardware, such as a "terminus-est" microcomputer, and an Amiga 3000UX that was used in the FSF's old office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the early days of GNU, when these machines were capable of running a GNU-like operating system. Another meaningful item to be auctioned off, and one that collectors will want to keep a keen eye on, is the Internet Hall of Fame medal awarded to founder Richard Stallman. When Stallman was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame, it was the ultimate recognition of free software's immense impact on the development and advancement of the Internet. This medal is definitely worthy of joining a fine historical collection...! [T]here are several more historic awards, more original GNU artwork, and a legendary katana [as seen in an XKCD comic] that became a lighthearted weapon in the fight for computer user freedom.

The auction is only the opening act to a whole agenda of activities celebrating forty years of free software activism. In May, the FSF invites free software supporters all over the world to gather for local in-person community meetups to network, discuss what people can do next to make the world freer, and celebrate forty years of commitment to software freedom. Then, on the actual birthday of the FSF on October 4, 2025, the organization intends to bring the international free software community to Boston for a celebration featuring keynotes and workshops by prominent personalities of the free software movement.
"The bidding will start as a virtual silent auction on March 17 and run through March 21, with more auction items revealed each day, and will culminate in an virtual live auction on March 23, 2025, 14:00 to 17:00 EDT," according to the announcement.
"Register here to attend the live auction. There's no need to register for the silent auction; you can simply join the bidding on the FSF's LibrePlanet wiki."
