New year ya

Ok looking into this issue to get deno into apt. https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/1583 + https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=961337

One thing I notice from my local clone of https://github.com/denoland/deno/ is that dependency versions keep changing. Each of these will require a new debian upload. For example we have the following diff

git diff c08319262..9526520cf Cargo.lock

 name = "comrak"
 name = "deno_core"
 name = "deno_doc"
 name = "deno_ops"
 name = "deno_unsync"
+name = "handlebars"
 name = "hashbrown"
+name = "memoffset"
 name = "metal"
+name = "onig"
+name = "onig_sys"
 name = "opaque-debug"
+name = "pest"
+name = "pest_derive"
+name = "pest_generator"
+name = "pest_meta"
 name = "petgraph"
+name = "regex-syntax"
 name = "regex-syntax"
 name = "rustls-tokio-stream"
 name = "serde_v8"
+name = "syntect"
 name = "tar"
-name = "tinytemplate"
 name = "tinyvec"
+name = "ucd-trie"
 name = "unic-char-property"

Ok so let's start with comrak https://docs.rs/comrak/latest/comrak/

Trying to get in to to #debian-js on oftc, can't seem to join channels, the client doesn't seem to show anything... huh.

Side note, there's an emacs package to edit mediawiki pages: https://github.com/hexmode/mediawiki-el

Ok I switched to the oftc/weechat/libera buffer and did /join #debian-js and it worked, great

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=comrak&searchon=names&suite=bookworm&section=all shows comrak has not been packaged for debian.

fr on a side quest, trying to see if oftc can support sasl. Here's the scoop

15:45:48    razzi | Hi there, I see on the faq page https://www.oftc.net/FAQ/Services/ that
                  | SASL is on the Roadmap, curious if anybody is working on this and if I
                  | could help :)│15:47:57 @dwfreed | it's a long process; I think the current step is coming up with a
                │                  | solution for OFTC's custom services bots
                │15:52:41    razzi | Thanks for that info dwfreed , is there an info page for these bots or is                │                  | it more folk knowledge at this point?
                │15:53:03 @dwfreed | folk knowledge + they're open source
                │15:53:14 @dwfreed | https://github.com/oftc/
                │15:54:09    razzi | Cool I'll take a look at the sources, thanks
                │15:58:51  phy1729 | Anything for the non-hatted to do there?
                │16:04:04 @dwfreed | phy1729: I mean, if you want to rewrite all our custom services bots into                │                  | their own psuedo-server that can support speaking both oftc-hybrid TS6
                │                  | and eventually solanum TS6 and the necessary atheme modules for
                │                  | information sharing over TS6 (ENCAP galore)
                │16:04:35  phy1729 | They aren't client connections?
                │16:05:44    @Myon | some are, some aren't
                │16:06:27 @dwfreed | GanneffServ, FloodServ, MoranServ, BOPM, and CTCPServ are all integrated
                │                  | in oftc-ircservices
                │16:06:44 @dwfreed | FloodServ is C, the rest are ruby
                │16:07:02  phy1729 | Is the plan to shove them all into atheme?
                │16:07:12 @dwfreed | the plan is to not put them into atheme at all
                │16:07:17 @dwfreed | hence "own psuedo-server"
                │16:08:07  phy1729 | Is there a scaffold or language choice yet?
                │16:08:27 @dwfreed | I'd kind of decided on lua, since it's simple to learn in case I get hit
                │                  | by a bus
                │16:08:37 @dwfreed | (specifically lua 5.1, for luajit compat)

There is an open issue for this: https://github.com/oftc/oftc/issues/1

And a workaround: https://www.oftc.net/NickServ/CertFP/

Ok several hours later I have the command to start the oftc irc services:

oftc-ircservices $ src/services
oftc-ircservices: version 1.5.12
oftc-ircservices: pid 5473
oftc-ircservices: running in background mode from /usr/local/
