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.

@scy@chaos.social avatar

@zekjur Not sure whether --copies would really fix this, because upgrading from 3.11 to 3.12 might also get rid of some runtime files or move them to unexpected places.

Also, depending on your Python version, some dependencies might install in different versions, or not at all, or new ones might be introduced.

Really, upgrading the system Python interpreter is kinda disruptive and venv recreation probably the best thing to do.

Or use pyenv for completely independent interpreter installs.

There are days when I'd like to throw Vim at the wall.

:set stl=%f%{&modified?'\ •':''}

will have a status line like

README.md •

with the bullet point (•) if the file is modified.

:set stl=%{fnamemodify(expand('%%:p'),':~:.')}%{&modified?'\ •':''}

will eat the space before the bullet point for some reason.

All I did is replace %f with the %{…} expression.

This happens both in 9.0.1378 and 0.7.2, and also if I replace • with any other character.

Ideas, anyone?

scy,
@scy@chaos.social avatar

@deoxys314 Yes. Feel free to try it out.

scy,
@scy@chaos.social avatar

Adding a second space before the bullet point in the %{&modified expression fixes it, i.e. there's now a single space between the file name and the bullet point.

So apparently Vim doesn't eat all of the leading spaces, but only the first one.

There are bug reports for this since 2017, with https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/3898 being the one that's currently still open. People are hesitant to fix it, for xkcd 1172 reasons.

Well then.

@deoxys314 I've reproduced it even in Neovim 0.10 just now 🤷‍♂️

scy,
@scy@chaos.social avatar

@deoxys314 With an existing file.

scy,
@scy@chaos.social avatar

@deoxys314 I don't think this matters, even setting

:set stl=%{''}%{&modified?'\ M':''}

will result in the status line being just

M

without a leading space, but the second expression is clearly returning one.

scy,
@scy@chaos.social avatar

Okay, I did not move on, I've opened https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/28918 in Neovim, maybe they're willing to break compatibility here to make it more consistent.

Since sometimes I'm eagerly waiting for to update to a new version, I now have a small command to check it for me.

https://codeberg.org/scy/dotfiles/src/commit/5679998191b7c6f76058050b26976b94c35e1e52/bin/codeberg-version.py

(Made it a goal to not require third-party libraries or tools for such a small task, but damn I totally get why nobody is using 's builtin HTTP client directly 😬)

scy,
@scy@chaos.social avatar

@fogti Yes it is.

• You have to split the URL into scheme, host, and path yourself.
• You have to choose whether to create an HTTPConnection or HTTPSConnection based on the scheme.
• You have to supply the Host header manually.
• Instead of .request() returning the response object, you have to get it using an additional .getresponse() call.
• There's no convenience method like requests' .raise_for_status().

The fact that OpenAI chose Scarlett Johansson, of all people, to fuck with, is somewhat hilarious to me.

That's the person who sued fucking Disney(!) and made them pay her an additional $40M (on top of the $20M in her contract) when they released Black Widow (2011) to Disney+ simultaneously to the cinematic release.

Das untere beinhaltet den eher hässlich layouteten zentrierten Text: "Aufgrund des aktuellen Datenschutzgesetzes bitte Wartezimmertür immer schließen. Vielen Dank für Ihre Mithilfe."

Eben in nem Forgejo-Diff das Wort "gevendort" gelesen und es für den Username irgendeiner Niederländerin gehalten

Nee, es ist die deutsche Übersetzung einer Markierung an Third-Party-Dateien, die im Englischen "vendored" heißt.

Gevendort halt 🤷‍♂️😬

https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/language-detection/

scy,
@scy@chaos.social avatar

@n0toose Nein, ich glaube, das ist wahrscheinlich schon das beste bzw. korrekteste Wort dafür. Es ist einfach nur… sehr selten.

Like, "vendored" is not a very common word to begin with, and translating that participle to German makes it even more uncommon. And on top of that it's not helpful that it starts with "geven", which looks really Dutch :)

scy,
@scy@chaos.social avatar

@n0toose Das ist keine gute Idee, das ist sogar eine exzellente Idee. Weil ja, ich hatte mich definitiv gefragt, was das für ne Markierung ist, wo sie herkommt, was sie bedeutet und warum sie wichtig ist. Ein Info-Icon würde helfen, vielleicht am ehesten mit einer kurzen Erklärung (ein paar Wörter reichen, sowas wie "third party files that did not originate in this repository"), und einem Link zu https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/language-detection/ für weitere Infos.

@jyn42 Denke, was du vor allem "falsch" machst: es eilig haben. Du bist keine 24h hier.

Die meisten Leute sind inzwischen gewohnt, von nem absichtlich auf Sucht, FOMO und Engagement ausgelegten Algorithmus kontinuierlich Kram vorgesetzt zu bekommen.

Das gibt's hier aber halt nicht.

Tipps:

Such nach ein paar Hashtags zu Themen, die dich interessieren. Folge dort großzügig Leuten. Entfolgen kannst du später immer noch, wenn's nicht passt. Und: Du kannst Hashtags folgen. Kann auch cool sein.

scy,
@scy@chaos.social avatar

@jyn42 Gerne :) Um da noch nen positiven Spin reinzubringen, du machst auch einiges richtig, nämlich Fragen stellen (die Leute hier beantworten liebend gern Dinge, manchmal sogar mehr als gut ist) und einfach mit random Leuten interagieren.

Du kannst aber auch einfach schreiben, was dir in den Sinn kommt, so als wär's nur für dich. Manchmal sehen das dann Leute in der Public Timeline und reagieren drauf.

Bisschen was in dein Profil schreiben schadet auch nicht, und wenn's nur n Spruch ist ;)

Did you know that you can have a CLI config file? Pretty handy for changing the default memory limit, output format, or even print a nice banner.

Here's mine:
https://codeberg.org/scy/dotfiles/src/commit/dbe858184c07634d16065773e31bf6c1cb50b357/.sqliterc

It allows SQLite to use up to 1 GiB of page cache, uses nice Unicode box drawing characters, and tracks the runtime of queries by default. It also reminds me of how to turn these things off again.

(Pro tip: Set .timer on last, else it will print the stats for each of the start-up commands … 😬)

scy,
@scy@chaos.social avatar

Also, if you have a look at https://sqlite.org/cli.html you'll see that you can customize the prompt using the .prompt "first line" "continuation" command.

And I've tried to create a fancy, colorful, nerd font prompt … and failed.

That's because both of the prompt strings are limited to 20 bytes by default (including a terminating null byte, I think). Also, even if you manage to cram ANSI codes into 20 bytes, the cursor positioning will have trouble with the non-printable characters. 😭
