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 🍀

@deshipu wait, you mean it was supposed to make sense all along?

@deshipu i mean... i can't argue with that logic ;)

@elmiko@fosstodon.org avatar

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?

#python #yaml #kubernetes

@deshipu that makes sense, but the "batteries included" is a big part of what makes python so useful. oh well, i'll just keep juggling venvs lol

elmiko,
@elmiko@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu all these reasonable suggestions.... what am i supposed to do! XD

elmiko,
@elmiko@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu this is not helping!

elmiko,
@elmiko@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu appreciate it ❤️ , i'm just using a venv for now. it's just a pain, because all i want to do is write some small scripts to help with debugging, and if the source data were in json that would be wonderful, but it's not...

i probably should install a system-wide version, but i seem to developer an aversion to installing dev packages into my root filesystem lol

@elmiko@fosstodon.org avatar

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

@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, good call

The PewPew LCD boards arrived, unfortunately the fab house didn't have the microcontrollers or displays in stock, so I will have to add those manually. Luckily it's only 50 units.

I am really getting the hang of stuff. Adding a new domain and website? Copy/paste dns settings. Add a simple server stub to my nginx.conf, run certbot --nginx -d domain.name and done. After it is running, add an index.html or setup a container and do some forwarding. Nice!

@jwildeboer does the security side of it ever make you anxious or nervous?

i want to get back into self-hosting, but it seems like the security part has gotten more challenging over the years. maybe i'm being overly worrisome though.

@jwildeboer thanks for sharing, appreciate it!

that's smart thinking on the web parts, much easier to be confident about static content.

just so i understand, you are running the mail agents and what not in containers behind the reverse proxy?

Python people, do you make short-lived intermediate variables to make your return statements readable?

For example, which of these would you tend to prefer?

def get_project_name(output_str): """Get project name from output of

@ehmatthes i generally prefer the first style (explicit variable name for return), mostly because i find it more readable that way.

    i love David Lynch's 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.
