Wow, apparently Python virtualenvs can break when you update your system:

zsh: /home/michael/src/pretix/env/bin/pip3: bad interpreter: /home/michael/src/pretix/env/bin/python3.11: no such file or directory

The env/bin/python3.11 symlink points to /usr/bin/python3.11, which no longer exists (it’s now python3.12).

Apparently the --copies flag is available to prevent this, but not enabled by default.

Whenever I see people talking / writing about paperless-ngx, I feel taken aback by all the complexity.

I scan all my documents and just put them into one directory per year.

That’s it. No tags, no title, no subdirectories, nothing. Just one directory per year.

To me, the value of such a system is not in filing every item in a super-detailed way, the value is in filing every item (1/2)

I'm a Star Trek fan, but voice interfaces for everything ("Computer, raise shields!") are a mistake.

Instead, can we please focus on technology like in The Expanse, where you can flick a file from your phone into the general direction of a wall-mounted screen and it will instantly be displayed there?

If, like me, you’ve been living under a rock regarding Passkeys, I think I finally figured out that:

1. You can keep using hardware security keys, but you may need a newer version (my Yubikey Nano is too old) and there are model-specific limits regarding how many sites you can store.

2. Aside from the hardware security key route, it seems like KeepassXC + browser plugin is the most flexible / secure option for folks who want full control over their password store. For iOS, there is Keepassium.

I have a few very small ideas for usability improvements to git. Been idly thinking about whether Wizard Zines could pay a developer to investigate and see if a couple of them are feasible

in theory I could do this myself, but I have never written real C code in my life and I think I'm very unlikely to actually do it

no idea what the probability of actually doing this is (maybe low? hiring developers is expensive!) but it's something I've been thinking about

if you have your current git branch in your shell prompt, what do you use to set it up?

so far I know about

• git's built in git-prompt.sh https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh
• oh-my-zsh
• zsh's built in vcs_info
• fish_git_prompt https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/fish_git_prompt.html
• https://starship.rs/
• powerlevel10k https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k
• pure for zsh https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure
• oh-my-posh for powershell (and more)

I’m looking for a device to print labels with QR codes and a little bit of text and a logo on them (say, 5x5 cm), ideally in color.

Any recommendations? Must be usable with a Linux computer.

Thanks :)

Minimal Linux Bootloader debugging story 🐞

I maintain two builds of the Linux kernel and the update process for both of these builds is entirely automated, but recently the continuous integration testing failed to automatically merge Linux 6․7 — this article is about tracking down the root cause of that failure to an issue with the MBR bootloader!

Interesting: The Glove80 is a new ergonomic keyboard, similar to the Kinesis Advantage:

Has any of my followers had a chance to try one yet?

Has anyone successfully used seccomp for Go servers? Specifically, I’m curious how you manage the list of allowed/denied system calls, as it might change between Go versions?

https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp-golang/issues/31 acknowledges this problem but doesn’t have a solution.

It’s so pleasantly simple to try out Go 1.22 features in a specific project (provided you’re on Go 1.21 already). Just change the go.mod file to contain:

toolchain go1.22rc1

go 1.22

(The toolchain directive won’t be necessary once Go 1.22 is released.)

Learn more about the Go command’s toolchain management: https://go.dev/doc/toolchain

PS: The feature I wanted to try out is https://antonz.org/go-1-22/#enhanced-routing-patterns, and it works beautifully 👌

I'm looking for a #compression #algorithm or something.

I have a process that generates a JSON document (> 1 MB, < 1 GB) once per week. These documents will be pretty similar. Some data will be modified, some will be added.

I'd like to keep all of these documents, in a compressed way, benefiting from the similarities between them, as if I'd compressed a concatenation of all of them, but without having to recompress everything each week.

Ideas? If possible, only using #Python's standard lib.

Just had a chance to try out a debugging technique I wanted to try for quite a while: coverage diff.

When you can manually reproduce a bug and want to quickly figure out which code is responsible for the different behavior (compared to regular usage of the program), you can use Go’s coverage instrumentation to display the lines of code only executed by that reproduction run: https://pastebin.com/Hq5emthj

Give it a try sometime? :)

For some reason, Fedora disables the Go module proxy by default in its Go package: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/golang/blob/f39/f/0001-Modify-go.env.patch

This makes module fetching unnecessarily slow, in particular when large repositories are involved, which need to be cloned via git when using GOPROXY=direct :-/

To fix:

go env -w GOPROXY=https://proxy.golang.org,direct
go env -w GOSUMDB=sum.golang.org
