FYI, I'm moving over to https://social.treehouse.systems/@mgorny

Hopefully, everything will work fine and all my followers will be transitioned.

Sometimes I'm thinking that OTD should be much more restricted (at least in countries with free health care). Its abuse is a serious problem in modern society. The worst part is that parents are treating their children with random drugs irresponsibly, and that could permanent damage to their health!

If you still think that distribution is not necessary and upstreams should be doing that, let me remind that you that downstream packagers are the ones who report that your latest release doesn't include the changes from your latest release:

mgorny,

@Foxboron, fortunately, pypi won't let them replace the files, I think.

"Fox (1972), following Lévi-Strauss (1949), has argued from ethnographic evidence that a key early step in human social evolution was the use of women in barter. As males acquired status through the control of females, they used them as objects of exchange to cement alliances and bolster kinship networks. Proliterate societies are characterized by complex rules of marriage that can often be interpreted directly as power brokerage." (from E.O. Wilson, "Sociobiology: The New Synthesis")

"Some individuals [in honeybees and ants], referred to by entomologists as the elites, are unusually active, perform more than their share of lifetime work, and incite others to work through facilitation." (from E.O. Wilson "Sociobiology: The New Synthesis")

It seems that insect elites are the opposite of human elites.

"Virgin Galactic has said it has already booked a backlog of some 800 customers, charging from $250,000 to $450,000 per seat, and envisions eventually building a large enough fleet to accommodate 400 flights annually."

Wait wait wait, flying into space for pleasure? Aren't we in ?

I need a tag for these things. , or plain old ?

mgorny,

@jackofalltrades, vacuum the rich? Works for me!

If you think mosquitoes or perhaps horse flies are the worst, try being regularly bitten by ants. They always get under the clothes and it usually itches for a few days.

mgorny,

@Wyatt, they also seemed to have preference for me but I'm not sure anymore. Anyway, when I walk fast they rarely manage a bite while ants catch my skin easily.

I've just made a second release today, and exhausted the planned feature list.

The main addition is configuration file support that notably makes it possible to install per-crate license overrides and add local license mappings. It also fixes missing simplification for package's LICENSE.

0.9 is out and in .

This release features support for package metadata inherited from workspaces. It also is more lenient about missing/custom licenses.

Thanks to CyberTailor for helping out with metadata support!

I've just released 0.8 and pushed it to .

The killer feature in this version is support for GIT_CRATES. Please test and let me know how it works for you (yeah, I know you can't because of workspace package data, sigh, that's coming up next).

It took some effort but it can guess the fancy paths for GIT_CRATES, remove the variable if it's stale or add one if it's missing.

Isn't it ironic that many (most?) of "family" allotments in are surrounded by barbed wire?

mgorny,

@sp6mr, I've noticed that at least in Poznań, and today in Sława Wielkopolska.

I woke up in the middle of the night. Ruh was sitting at the base of the cat tree. I heard the kind of sound similar to cat cleaning itself from that direction but she wasn't doing that.

She came over to me, I started scratching her, she started purring. Yet I still occasionally heard that sound from the cat tree direction.

I got up and started investigating. The sound came from cat's cardboard box. I pulled the blanket up, and discovered a beetle below it.

Freed it of course.

Minor annoyance: Oracle appears to have moved some of blog posts that they inherited from Sun, without adding proper redirects, again.

So I had to fix again the link in https://flameeyes.blog/2010/06/20/the-why-and-how-of-rpath/ — because even 13 years old blog posts are still important to me.

mgorny,

@flameeyes, one day we'll learn to link to web archive immediately.

mgorny,

@flameeyes, I'd say it's a good compromise.

  1. you link to the specific version you used,

  2. you get reliability if it goes down,

  3. users get the original URL, so they can easily use it.

What's the best thing about summer? It's not just that everything gets so hot during the day that you need to keep the window open in the evening.

It's that everyone thinks it's a great idea to stay out late or keep the windows wide open, and absolutely make sure you get caught in crossfire between disco polo music from one neighbor, and "silesian hits" from the other.

mgorny,

@mikolaszko, perhaps I've just stopped enjoying it after hearing it most of the day, practically every day, for years now.

mgorny, to hiking

Here are some photos from two successive Główna - Stara Łubianka walks.

Midway between the two train stations there lies the Kuźnik Reserve. East of it there are two lakes with a hilly landscape in the middle — you can either hike through the hill in the middle, or on the edge of Rudnickie Lake, or on the other side of the hill near the other lake (which is probably part of Koszycki Lagoon).

A pond with a flock of probably-swans in a pond. There is a forest in the background, and blue cloudless sky overhead.
A view of a lake through the cover of a tree. There is some grass at the near edge, and a dark forest on the far edge. A bright blue sky is visible through the gaps between the leaves. There is a broken tree lying on the water to the right.
An overgrown lake visible through a ticket. There are some low-cut tree trunks visible in the water, though most of it is covered by tall grass. There is a forest far in the background, and a bright blue sky overhead.

Here's a fun fact about travelling from to .

Regular trains take roughly 5 hours and 30 minutes, and cost 46,40 PLN.

The fastest trains take roughly 5 hours (slower: 5 h 40 min) and cost 49,70 PLN (2nd class).

However, on weekends there's an extra PolRegio "ORKAN" train that takes 4 hours and 20 minutes (!), and costs 46,20 PLN. The trick is to skip Główny.

We surrounded ourselves with walls and fences. Put locks on our doors and bars on our windows. Trained dogs to bark at strangers. Installed security cameras and motion sensors. Put armed guards at the exterior.

Why does the peak of our resemble prison so much?
