I just had an epiphany:

Age restrictions on books for toddlers/small kids are not to protect the kid from the potentially disturbing content, but to protect the book from being torn apart 😅

Nice, I managed to package this little utility 'highlight-pointer' for :nixos: #NixOS, which is very helpful during screencasts.

It was very easy to do having already made an :archlinux: #ArchLinux PKGBUILD.

I think I have finally™️ (for the third or so time) found myself a solution for :python: #Python development on :nixos: #NixOS that allows me to just work with #pythonPoetry et. al. as on other distros.

The solution is to pre-build an FHSUserEnv in your configuration.nix, e.g. like this¹.

When starting Python dev work, I now execute fhs (it's fast!), or directly fhs -c 'poetry shell' and everything works as expected, including #PyPI wheels etc.

@docRekd @publicvoit Of course. It's not a general solution to be able to do Python dev on NixOS. One needs a separate nix file per project (that alone is an absolute no-go). Even if you take the time and try to make one, still no guarantee that it works (even with preferWheels=true!). Weird errors arise with nix' typical awful error messages and at this point it's not useable for general Python dev. Maybe for specific standalone Python projects you want to #nix-ify.

People love recommending and raving about - it's a really cool project but honestly despite thinking hard about it, I still have not found any use for it (which is a lil frustrating ngl). I think the issue is I'm already used to syncing stuffs through anyway lol and I kinda prefer it since it's a lil more "explicit" or intentional + you could add notes/context to the commit if needed.

nobodyinperson,
@nobodyinperson@fosstodon.org avatar

@irfan wait until you learn about :gitannex: then 😉

It teaches git to handle big files and remembers where they were copied to and much more.

I replaced with it as I also preferred a more explicit sync with much more control.

My next approach to handling the soap bar problem: a floating soap dish with a perforated bottom so drying and draining from below can happen.

My journey so far:

  1. standard soap dish. It's a slurry mess.
  2. fancy soap dishes with spikes to hold the soap bar up. Still a mess.
  3. hanging soaps with a loop of string. Works amazing, but drilling holes into soap is uncool.
  4. (I don't like soap nets)
  5. This one! Wish me luck!

nobodyinperson,
@nobodyinperson@fosstodon.org avatar

@Triffen Cleaning the holes could be a matter of soaking it in water for some time, right? Or made from PETG, a run of low-temperature dishwasher program.

The rope works very well if it is cast into the soap during production. Drillling mostly breaks the soap bar and that's the main problem. A big knot can be made to prevent slipping.

In case you are wondering why is currently broken in : Its dependency dulwich has been upgraded by accident. The commit has since been reverted, but that has not yet propagated to all channels. Keep an eye on https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=307505

nobodyinperson,
@nobodyinperson@fosstodon.org avatar

@mirkolenz Good to know, thanks. Helpful linked website as well! 👍

May I ask how you do development on ?

As long as it's pure Python, natively installed poetry is perfecly fine.

Everything crumbles though if you need precompiled deps from PyPI:

  • poetry2nix is mostly unhelpful
  • FHSUserEnv is slow to start, masks other installed programs on non-NixOS and can't take cli arguments to run

That's my experience.

nobodyinperson,
@nobodyinperson@fosstodon.org avatar

@AngryAnt @mirkolenz I always get stuck at some point with poetry2nix. I manage to teach it the build systems for a handful of broken packages (quite annoying that this is necessary), but then weird errors arise with no documentation on it and then you're stuck.

Nix and Python packaging is not a good match in my experience. A real shame, as I love/need both!

If my MagicaCSG modeling posts have attracted your interest in the SDF modeling method, you might like to have a look at Womp, a free online SDF editor (with a "Pro" subscription option).

I've just played with it for a few minutes, and you can export your scene as an OBJ file, complete with textures for recreating the Womp materials in Blender, as you can see in the screenshot.

I'm looking for static HTML games which are open source licensed for inclusion in a GPL licensed project.

Any suggestions?

My own preference would be for retro , especially from the early days of video game machines but I'll consider anything so long as it is static HTML.

I finally made it: an XOR mechanism that requires exactly one of two keys to be inserted at a time. I call it the 🗝️ #keyguardian.

This is very useful for example to track where important small things go: Want to take the car keys? You have to insert your name tag to unlock it.

My first mechanical project with #SolveSpace and it was great!

EDIT: Now on #Printables: https://www.printables.com/model/793767-keyguardian-dual-key-xor-mechanism

video, showing honeycomb storage wall. a hand grabs a USB stick which is attached to a small white box. The USB stick can't be removed from the box. The hand then grabs a name tag labeled 'Bob' from the right, inserts it into a slot on the box, and the USB stick pops out. Now the name tag can't be removed from the box. In reverse, when reinserting the USB stick, the name tag pops out.

Does anyone know of a modern phone which allows call recording without root?

I'm currently on an aging 5T running and can record calls just fine - a button in the dialler lets me record straight from the line. I don't need to put it on speaker and record via the microphone.

(Looking for 1st hand experience, not search results. No need to reply to discuss the legality of call recording. I need root-less for online banking etc.)

@Edent (which is Linux + Android compatiblity layer) can record calls out of the box. No experience with online banking apps, but I heard some are working, some aren't.

people have talked about this a lot already, but what i want to highlight is the entitlement

not everything is made for u! some things are made for other developers. a lot of things, even.

and that's fine! no one's forcing you to use this particular bit of stalkerware. if you can't figure it out, just move along

I just added support for pipes to Toolong. So you view logs directly from another process.

It was also an opportunity to stress test Toolong. Here I a catting all my log files and piping them to "tl".

I was surprised there were no performance issues!
