I'm here today to talk to you about[br]diffoscope

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and how you can use it as a better diff

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or for Quality Assurance, etc., things[br]like that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Moin!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Apparently that's like a north german[br]thing to say "welcome".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
North german, north Denmark, Scandinavia,[br]that kind of thing, I'm told.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
People are shaking their head, so I'm[br]going to assume that's true.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is my first PC, an IBM 5155.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Sometimes, when you rebooted it, it would[br]launch into, it would somehow revert

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
from booting from the hard disk to booting[br]from a basic ROM,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as in the programming language ROM.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was on my motherboard for some reason.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, randomly, you just get a chance to[br]program in basic and then,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sometimes you wouldn't, I don't know why,[br]but… yeah.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's quite fun with this kind of clicky[br]keyboard, and that folded in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and it was this kind of big desk thing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Anyway…

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is my first Debian.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
At the time it was already old.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What's this one? Is this Slink? 2.2?[br]Yeah.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And this is when we had US and non-US,[br]so that's really dating if you remember that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is my first contribution to Debian,[br]19th December 2006,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sending a patch to lillypond which is kind[br]of interesting

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and the response was "Oh yeah, rock on,[br]many thanks. I'll upload this and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it'll be landing to Etch".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And this was super motivating because[br]Etch was just coming out and it was like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Great, I've got let one line of tiny patch[br]in a release. This is super cool."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Thomas' response was super motivating.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, after that, like that Christmas[br]basically spent ???

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Debian webpages and stuff.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Very well timed.
