you know hacking kubernetes manifests is so much more comfortable in python... is there any drive to get a yaml processor into the python standard lib?

@deshipu i just tried to install it, but it says it's already there and i just installed this machine less than a month ago, and i know i didn't install it. maybe some dependency needed it.

@deshipu yeah actually... i think fedora 39 installs python3-pyyaml by default perhaps lol

@deshipu yeah, good call

looking for some #pgp advice. i updated my key several years ago with some email aliases, but now i want it to be more authoritative. is the best option to deprecate the old key and start a new one, or is there a way to invalidate some of the aliases?

i absolutely love for whipping up quick automation. i'm doing some cleaning of movie files locally and in about 30 minutes i have an app that encodes my ffmpeg commands with nice cli flags and even doctests XD

is there a shell that incorporates python as the shell language?

I'm still slowly working on improving my homebrew CircuitPython game console. Recently I tackled the problem of screws – they don't work very well with the acrylic case, tend to either be too tight or fall off. So I tried something new: solderable nuts. They can be pick-and-placed and reflowed, and they give you very good way of getting the screws in.

I also experimented with a Xiao S3, but I think that I will switch to an ESP32-S3 WROOM module instead. More testing is required with the S3.

Lol--after 15 years I finally resurrected my 1978 Kawasaki KZ400 "Reloaded"! I put nearly 50 miles on it today but for some reason the battery wasn't charging so I had to park it and put it on charge. I wonder what's wrong with it? ;)

@elaterite looks beautiful, good luck with the battery 🍀

reading more about this wild xz hack, it sounds so complex given the number of system level dependencies that exist. kudos to the people who have found it and are working to protect the community.

be safe out there!

just watched a pigeon "bully" another away from his turf. was wild, puffing his neck up and warbling at the other. then, pecking and chasing.

same shit, different species i suppose.

i love David Lynch's #Dune movie, but there is a minor detail that really cracks me up.

when the guild navigator is leaving the initial visit with the emperor, their giant container thingie leaves a massive puddle of liquid waste behind it.

the other guild attendants give a completely half-hearted attempt at mopping up after the navigator.

not sure if Lynch intended it, but the disdain shown by the moppers totally captures the guild's attitude towards the entire galaxy.

@jwildeboer i am in your fair city for a few days, any tips for visiting the red hat office?

a point of great debate and discussion (granted i am the originator of said conversations) while i have been here is the office coffee machine selection for "irish coffee". not sure I'm bold enough to try it yet, but i think there will be a great taste testing at some point.

experimenting with some #warhammer40k #Tyranid color schemes. i like the colors on the right model, but i think the middle one is more visually appealing.

i'm super late to the dance between gitea and their community, and the subsequent forgejo fork. test driving #forgejo now, kudos to the devs for the smooth migration tooling.

i've been running local git infra more and more, and trying to ditch some of my saas spending.

#redhat has these quarterly "recharge" days and i ,for one, love them. they are almost starting to feel like an internal holiday with people from across the globe wishing each other a "happy recharge" or similar.

in the grand scheme of workers' rights this is really small and perhaps insignificant, but it makes me happy.

happy recharge, to anyone and everyone ❤️
