On Windows 11 with the "new" WSL, Acme does not seem to need that anymore.

Use the NANY preset from the dropdown list. Ignore that mouser forgets to change the year every time.

NANY 2022 Entry Information

Application Name	dateadder
Short Description	Fulfills the single need of having a platform-independent tool that lets the user add days, weeks or even months to today's (or any other) date and see the resulting date.

Download Link	Attached.
Version History	2021.12: First public announcement on DonationCoder.
Author	me.

Description

Screenshots


Usage

Installation

Grab the .exe file from the attachment and put it wherever you want. Send me a personal message for non-Windows builds and/or if you need the source code.

Using the Application
You'll need a terminal window. (On Windows, the Windows Terminal is pretty nice.) Then just run any calculation of your choice:

[Select]

% ./dateadder "today in a week"
% ./dateadder "2021/12/31 plus four days"

Et cetera, et cetera.

Uninstallation
Delete the .exe file.

Firefox is a waste of space by now. Sad to see it detoriating for a decade.

I installed Windows 11 via “Windows Insider” just before it became public and oh dear, isn’t it ugly?

I gotta hand it to systemd on that point though, my Linux of choice has never started up faster or more reliably.

I find runit to be rather good at this.

General Software Discussion / Re: Windows 11 Announced

« on: July 12, 2021, 07:26 AM »

Wasn't that supposed to be Windows 10?  Like, it was supposed to be a "rolling update" operating system? 

-Edvard (July 11, 2021, 09:56 PM)

Well, it rolled to 11 now.

systemd aimed to improve the startup speed - but they said it was especially good "for servers". Now how often do you usually restart your servers?
Also, yup - if systemd would have remained a SysV init replacement, it would probably be ok-ish. Instead, they added stuff that renames your network devices on each boot.

If you want reliability, you don't want Linux with systemd.

At the same time, Linux has become notably shittier when the majority of distributions introduced systemd, a svchost.exe clone with a bizarre understanding of how Linux was supposed to work.

They even killed text log files.

You can also install Rust and then "cargo install yaydl".

« on: June 20, 2021, 06:03 PM »

Yup, it was a mistake caused by yaydl using an undocumented API.
Fixed in 0.6.6. The last release for today. Pinky promise!

Wait no longer!

It turns out that YouTube marks some videos as "unplayable" in its API. yaydl will now say it does not exist. 

123

N.A.N.Y. 2021 / Re: NANY 2021: yaydl

« on: June 20, 2021, 05:26 PM »

Version 0.6.4 was updated to use a newer version of the YouTube API. I hope it helps!

(I'll probably update it to 0.6.5 to better display YouTube-side errors...)

Are we supposed to post our NANY 2022 projects here and they'll be moved then?
