weird dude who writes raw HTML

Eyy, that’s me! Good excercise to learn actual HTML, instead of directly trying to jump into <insert random JS framework> and getting confused on what’s what.

Anyway, I ended up switching to Hugo as a static site generator, because it was too damn hard to keep all my <header>, <nav> and <main> aligned for all my HTML files.

Now I can just write a markdown file as an article, or switch back to raw HTML if I so need (like rewriting Alan Turing’s paper " On computable numbers" in HTML because I can’t use TTS on the PDFs I found; I still haven’t finished writing it, because I am now reading E. F. Codd’s papers on the Relational Model, which is pretty wild how we already figured that shit out in the 1970s!)

Soon, Firefox can block ads better than Chrome. Ads are annoying. I see Chrome losing at least a 5% of the market, if not more, to Firefox, just because they’re going to break uBlock Origin, and Firefox isn’t.

Just ask whether they can provide a phone as well.

Because there’s going to be kids around here who have never seen this port (other than maybe on a Point Of Sale (POS) system?)

I hope you can install Firefox, because The Googs is pushing for Manifest v3, which means no more functional adblock.

Linux or bust, babyyyyyy

I’m confused why you’re asking for feedback. You already chose Svelte and Sveltekit, no?

Here’s my feedback anyway: I like Python and dislike Javascript. Yes, Python is slow (though that can be offset via Pandas, among other libs) but it’s relatively painless. Unlike JS, which is quite painful to work with. JS libs also come and go every few years, whereas Python’s seems a bit more stable in that regard.

But it also depends on whether I’m part of your target audience - who is your target audience?

FYI: There’s a series too - can highly recommend

• Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
• Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG
• Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society

Within the context of the meme it’s a guy with a mug and an exploitable sign on his table. Nothing more.

This shit sounds pretty tiring, IMO :/

add “before:2023” to your search query

Also, regarding better formats: parquet is relatively nice. Smaller files, though not human readable. Use parquet if you read often, or have IO issues (file “too large” as CSV).

What’s even the “gold standard” for logging stuff I guess?

structlog. Or just Structured Logging in general.

Don’t do:

logging.info(f"{something} happened!")

But do

logging.info(“thing-happened”, thing=something)

Why? Your event will become a category, which means it’s easily searchable/findable, you can output either human-readable stuff (the typical {date}, {loglevel}, {event}) or just straight up JSONL (a JSON object/dict per line). If you have JSON logs you can use jq to query/filter/manipulate your logs, if you have something like ELK, you can insert your logs there and create dashboards.

It’s amazing - though it may break your brain initially.

I see an Arjan video, I upvote. This guy really boosted my Python knowledge during my Junior years.

Just add before:2023 to your search query BTW.

For Keepass users: KeepassXC can read your keepass file just fine, but KeepassXC can also run on Linux, whereas Keepass runs only on Windows.

We fixed that one: https://codewithrockstar.com/

PiHole if you want it network-wide (also covers mobile devices and TVs) - hosts file if you only need to modify one machine.

Ooooh, there’s also nLite, if you wanted to make a custom version for yourself!

Those were fun times!

That reminded me of TinyXP - a modified version of Windows XP to be like some 100MB install, instead of the typical 2GB of default bloat.

Good shit.

It’s LTSC (Long Term Service Channel) nowadays - It’s the LTS version of Windows 10. Fewer updates, more stability of your OS in general. It’s neat!

No Windows Store by default, but it’s possible to install that separate, should you really need it.
