+        <p>A fun way to learn how to program
+<a href="https://www.python.org/">Python</a> is to follow the
+instructions in the book
+"<a href="https://nostarch.com/programwithminecraft">Learn to program
+with Minecraft</a>", which introduces programming in Python to people
+who like to play with Minecraft.  The book uses a Python library to
+talk to a TCP/IP socket with an API accepting build instructions and
+providing information about the current players in a Minecraft world.
+The TCP/IP API was first created for the Minecraft implementation for
+Raspberry Pi, and has since been ported to some server versions of
+Minecraft.  The book contain recipes for those using Windows, MacOSX
+and Raspian.  But a little known fact is that you can follow the same
+recipes using the free software construction game
+<a href="https://minetest.net/">Minetest</a>.</p>
+
+<p>There is <a href="https://github.com/sprintingkiwi/pycraft_mod">a
+Minetest module implementing the same API</a>, making it possible to
+use the Python programs coded to talk to Minecraft with Minetest too.
+I
+<a href="https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/minetest-mod-pycraft_0.20%2Bgit20180331.0376a0a%2Bdfsg-1.html">uploaded
+this module</a> to Debian two weeks ago, and as soon as it clears the
+FTP masters NEW queue, learning to program Python with Minetest on
+Debian will be a simple 'apt install' away.  The Debian package is
+maintained as part of the Debian Games team, and
+<a href="https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/unfinished/minetest-mod-pycraft">the
+packaging rules</a> are currently located under 'unfinished' on
+Salsa.</p>
+
+<p>You will most likely need to install several of the Minetest
+modules in Debian for the examples included with the library to work
+well, as there are several blocks used by the example scripts that are
+provided via modules in Minetest.  Without the required blocks, a
+simple stone block is used instead.  My initial testing with a analog
+clock did not get gold arms as instructed in the python library, but
+instead used stone arms.</p>
+
+<p>I tried to find a way to add the API to the desktop version of
+Minecraft, but were unable to find any working recipes.  The
+<a href="https://www.epiphanydigest.com/tag/minecraft-python-api/">recipes</a>
+I <a href="https://github.com/kbsriram/mcpiapi">found</a> are only
+working with a standalone Minecraft server setup.  Are there any
+options to use with the normal desktop version?</p>

+        <p>A few hours ago, a new and improved version (2.4) of
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent">the VLC
+bittorrent plugin</a> was uploaded to Debian.  This new version
+include a complete rewrite of the bittorrent related code, which seem
+to make the plugin non-blocking.  This mean you can actually exit VLC
+even when the plugin seem to be unable to get the bittorrent streaming
+started.  The new version also include support for filtering playlist
+by file extension using command line options, if you want to avoid
+processing audio, video or images.  The package is currently in Debian
+unstable, but should be available in Debian testing in two days.  To
+test it, simply install it like this:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+apt install vlc-plugin-bittorrent
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>After it is installed, you can try to use it to play a file
+downloaded live via bittorrent like this:
+
+<p><pre>
+vlc https://archive.org/download/Glass_201703/Glass_201703_archive.torrent
