Quarto is a tool for producing PDF, Word document, HTML web pages, ePub files, slideshows and many, many more output based on a Markdown file.
Using Quarto, you can render any markdown content to a new PDF f.i.

Personally, I haven't used a Word-type word processor for several years; nor have I used PowerPoint since, I don't even know when the last time was.
And yet, I produce a great deal of documentation and slideshows. I write everything in markdown and generate pdf or slideshows from the same content.
Until recently, I'd been using pandoc but, having taken the time to look around Quarto, it's a hell of a lot more powerful.

For 1,000 reasons or more, you want to encrypt a file containing text. Which software should you install? Well ... none other than Docker!
By using a Docker Alpine/OpenSSL image, it's so easy to encrypt/decrypt files using OpenSSL.
Good old memories... During my studies (in 1991-1993), I was a huge fan of Turbo Pascal 7.0. It was the first language that I really learned and loves it so much. I used to spend dozens of hours behind my computer writing anything and everything.
If you good remember that time, Turbo Pascal 7.0 was used to create executables for MS-DOS.
The idea for this article came after the one written on assembly language: is it possible in 2023 to run Pascal code written 30 years earlier?
