99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm here today to talk to you about
diffoscope

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and how you can use it as a better diff

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or for Quality Assurance, etc., things
like that.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Moin!

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Apparently that's like a north german
thing to say "welcome".

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
North german, north Denmark, Scandinavia,
that kind of thing, I'm told.

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
People are shaking their head, so I'm
going to assume that's true.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is my first PC, an IBM 5155.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sometimes, when you rebooted it, it would
launch into, it would somehow revert

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from booting from the hard disk to booting
from a basic ROM,

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as in the programming language ROM.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It was on my motherboard for some reason.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, randomly, you just get a chance to
program in basic and then,

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sometimes you wouldn't, I don't know why,
but… yeah.

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's quite fun with this kind of clicky
keyboard, and that folded in

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it was this kind of big desk thing.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Anyway…

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is my first Debian.

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
At the time it was already old.

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What's this one? Is this Slink? 2.2?
Yeah.

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And this is when we had US and non-US,
so that's really dating if you remember that.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is my first contribution to Debian,
19th December 2006,

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sending a patch to lillypond which is kind
of interesting

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and the response was "Oh yeah, rock on,
many thanks. I'll upload this and

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it'll be landing to Etch".

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And this was super motivating because
Etch was just coming out and it was like

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Great, I've got let one line of tiny patch
in a release. This is super cool."

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Thomas' response was super motivating.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, after that, like that Christmas
basically spent ???

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Debian webpages and stuff.

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Very well timed.
