Now that poetry supports PEP-621, I spent couple of hours updating all my projects to be compatible. In case of Pelican plugins, that also meant aligning to current community tooling baseline, which involved fixing a number of issues that ruff complains about.
Not exactly how I wanted to spend this Sunday, but I'm glad it's now over and hopefully I won't have to do anything like that in next few years.

Is there a tool/website that I give it a link, and it gives back social media posts by author that contain that link? Or at least gives links to author profile on various social media sites?
I mostly read through RSS. Sometimes I read and think "wow, I would like to share/boost original author post on social media, too!" And I wonder if there is something that would make that last part easier.

Just updated my Debian machine to Plasma 6. Pretty uneventful - I had to install one or two missing packages, revert few of new defaults and re-create my custom keyboard shortcuts that got lost.
Overall, big congratulations to entire KDE community!

I just finished #TheWeeklyChallenge 298 and man, checking subsets of matrices was NOT fun. I wonder if #RakuLang has built-in structures for 2D arrays that make problems like that a breeze?

I was thinking about task 2 in today’s #PerlWeeklyChallenge and after few false starts I found out this is essentially multiway number partitioning problem with k=4. I’ll probably go with greedy number partitioning algorithm and call it a day.

I find Linux virtualization stack confusing. KVM? ibvirt? QEMU? Xen? What does that even mean? So I wrote a post in an attempt at making sense of that all. Hope it clears things up, and let me know if I missed a mark somewhere.

Have you read “Software Testing Strategies. A testing guide for the 2020s” by Matthew Heusser and Michael Larsen? If not, maybe my review will convince you. And if you did, do you share my impression?

The Bus Route task in today #PerlWeeklyChallenge was surprisingly difficult, but I had fun thinking about it. I uploaded my solution to GitHub.
There are few obvious optimizations I have not pursued (storing only the minimum arrival time instead of list, taking advantage of result not changing until current minute passes departure time, taking advantage of fact that next-after-closest becomes closest once current minute passes departure time).

Is there a course/website/book/etc. that would focus on teaching CSS how it can be used today?
I learned webdev back when we positioned elements with float and IE6 compatibility was a concern. I know fundamentals. I picked some new things along the way. But I wonder how you would work when you don't shoehorn new things into outdated models I grew up with.

What do you use to back up local files from Linux to external hard drive?
I have been using rsnapshot, but maybe there are better solutions out there?
Does anyone have an experience with btrfs and snapshots? Do you trust it?

Is there something like guake/yakuake, but the editor?
Basically, I want a window where I can type text, which I can show and hide quickly. I want it to automatically save. I need to set background color and font; bonus points if I can change window size and position.
I use Fedora Linux with GNOME. Can be extension or standalone program.

I converted all the images on my website to WebP and discovered that few of them are actually larger than in JPEG/PNG format. Here's a short blog post with more details:

I really dislike file names given by many ebook retailers. I don’t know why I never thought about using metadata from file itself to generate a new name.
But now I did :) : https://github.com/mirekdlugosz/ebook-name-from-metadata

Reviewing my past work often gives me warm feelings - I notice omissions or mistakes that I didn't notice at the time, and that gives me a sense of how much I have improved.
But sometimes I am impressed by my past work - I think I wouldn't be able to create anything as good, yet alone better, today.
Am I the only one? Does that have a name? How are people dealing with that?
