I wondered how long it would take to manually check if any user across all my Linux servers had an expired password.
SSH. Check. Repeat.
Yeah... no thanks.

It connects to multiple servers, audits password expiration for human users, and generates reports in seconds.
And... OOPS! 😄
Now I have all my password audit reports in one place.

I've updated gemtext to v1.1.0, adding support for the Spartan `=:` line type.

Bottom line: Use %%timeit to check. Don't just guess!
