My "production stuff":
- https://github.com/festivus-es/festivus - public holidays calendars for Spanish cities
- https://github.com/remote-es/remotes - companies hiring in Spain for remote positions
Usable WIPs:
- https://alexpdp7.github.io/selfhostwatch/ - track self-hosting package updates (such as YunoHost)
- https://github.com/alexpdp7/ubpkg/ - package manager for "upstream binaries"
- https://github.com/alexpdp7/termflux - Miniflux terminal client
So Lilygo just released this beauty! I’ve always thought e-paper will go excellent with LoRa. Now I want this, so I can put #meshtastic on it! https://lilygo.cc/products/t-deck-pro

I get that issue trackers are hard, but I feel like stale bots that *close issues* come off as so hostile. I shouldn't have to come back to the issue tracker every month to confirm, “Yes, this is still an issue!” to prevent the issue from getting closed.
Tag an issue as “stale” for easier triage—that’s fine! But “oops you aren’t engaged enough, sorry, your issue doesn’t exist anymore” feels like a bit of a slap in the face. Especially if it gets closed as “not planned.”
I don't have the data, but I believe that sending email from anything other than @gmail.com or @outlook.com is much less likely to arrive.
Maybe the key is that we receive much more email than we send, and that not everything we send is critical.
So perhaps the trick is to keep a @gmail.com or @outlook.com only for sending *must arrive* emails, and do everything else in our domain, with a provider to our liking, or even self-hosted.
Apparently there's been a leak of private data from Oracle Cloud hosting, who are very popular because of their very generous free tier:
@Anarcat I have dabbled lately with Yggdrasil[1] and OpenNIC[2]. IMHO, they are interesting building blocks for a free Internet.

I'm very happy to remove the code from Lobsters for geoblocking the UK, and my thanks to everyone who contributed to making sense of it. I wrote up everything we learned about it and why the risk seems low enough now, hopefully it's useful to other communities: https://lobste.rs/c/xevn8a
If you’ve ever wanted a Visual Studio Code for Nintendo Switch, definitely check this out. Supports USB keyboards (!), write your own games, great for the kids https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/fuze4-nintendo-switch-switch/
So I just discovered "color-scheme" in CSS and deployed it to my blog to respect light/dark mode (I hope). I have not tested high/low contrast preferences, but I suspect color-scheme will not be enough.
Is there no way to say "just pick the colors that the user prefers"?
Created "lima-actions" for GitHub Actions https://github.com/lima-vm/lima-actions
```
steps:
- uses: lima-vm/lima-actions/setup@v1
- run: limactl start template://fedora
```
Useful for:
- Running commands on non-Ubuntu distros (e.g., Fedora, AlmaLinux 8)
- Emulating multiple hosts
Chimera Linux is an interesting operating system. Today, I used it for the first time. Because it uses a BSD userland, I tested a shell script in a Chimera Linux container and found and addressed a GNU-find-ism. Hopefully this will make the shell script work on macOS (which is not convenient to run without Apple hardware).

Lots of chatter about the "death" of Firefox today. I continue to believe that we should separate simple "content" browsers from application platforms. But others have more bizarre ideas:
I think my new project https://github.com/alexpdp7/django-tws can provide some value now, although it's still an alpha.
It guides you towards getting started using Django, smoothening some rough edges and things that are not covered by the Django documentation.
Experimental HTML support in Typst is exciting. I haven't actually even used Typst once, but I am looking at it closely.
We need a solid lightweight markup language, and there's nothing yet that ticks all my boxes.
Typst 0.13 releases today! This update is all about listening to feedback. Read on to find out which of the most highly anticipated changes we made.
@coder searching for "fastapi django orm" has a few hits. I'm not the first person who has thought of this... and I think it's an actually interesting idea.
Django is not only one of my favorite ways to write web apps; I think it's so good in some places that it literally can change how you develop applications. It also has some unequalled significant productivity boosts that have big impact. But it's not perfect, I have started drafting a document explaining its virtues and defects at:

One of the advantages of the downfall of the United States will be eradicating the mm/dd/yyyy date format
I have to constantly remind myself that social media can be a bunch of friends talking to each other, but one where if you complain about how shitty something is, the people that work on it *can overhear it*. Imagine if you were in a coffee shop and said "this croissant is too dry" the baker was *right there* next to you. Every single time. I only realized this once I became "the baker", but since then I make a huge effort not to put negative energy out there, however big or small my "audience" might be.
Playing with Zulip. It's Django. The installer is Puppet, and mentions Nagios.
Did I write this accidentally in my sleep?
@aparrish Every single time I hear the sentiment "like it or not, ______ is here to stay", I like to take a moment to reflect on the overwhelming majority of "things we were told would be permanent" that now, *shockingly*, no longer exist.😮🫢🤗🙄

This is more of a proof of concept than anything practical. This is a Violentmonkey script that adds transcripts to *some* Penny Arcade strips. If it doesn't have one, it lets you add a transcript by using GitHub.
I consider it an experiment to see if this approach can be practical.

"OpenLDK is a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler and runtime environment for Java, implemented entirely in Common Lisp. It bridges the gap between Java and Common Lisp by incrementally translating Java bytecode into Lisp, which is then compiled into native machine code for execution. This unique approach allows Java classes to be seamlessly mapped to Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) classes, enabling effortless integration between Java and Common Lisp codebases."
