Today, during tree pose my left calf cramped but I mistook it for "oh this is difficult" and continued through to the end of the session. This was a mistake.

Today's yoga take is - If it actually hurts, rather than just being difficult, stop and reassess.

Ouch.

@imperio Hiya, we had an interesting snafu at work recently where code was broken in a way I would have expected (or at least hoped) Clippy would spot.

Who is the best person for me to reach out to to talk about that, or is the process that I just file an issue and discussion of if it's worthy of linting happens there?

(sorry for poking you directly, but you're my best link into the clippy group)

Dear Fediverse,

PowerDNS-Admin appears to be deprecated in favour of pda-next which hasn't seen any work in nigh on a year. NixOS is keeping it limping along; but there're more and more cracks appearing.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an alternative web interface for administering PowerDNS ?

We have made the 0.12.0 release of Subplot, our acceptance criteria and documentation tool. (Learn more at https://subplot.tech/ )

In this release we have spent some time on ergonomics as well as bug fixes and general functionality.

I'd like to thank @liw for his energy and enthusiasm through the year for the project, it has been a joy working with you Lars.

To play with Subplot 0.12, run cargo install subplot-bin and then run the subplot tool.

Merry Wintermas to all.

Dear Fediverse,

I am searching for a standard way to launch the user's preferred editor in a cross-platform manner from a Rust CLI tool.

In the "I only care about me" days I'd just run $VISUAL with the file, but I want to work with macos, windows, and perhaps even vscode etc.

Ideas? Fancy crates which already exist? Anything?

Halp!

Today we had reason to use our email backups in anger.

And they worked. Perfectly.

Please take some time today, particularly if you're lethargic with turkey-induced-tryptophan, to check that your backups are running, and to try and restore at least some of them just to check they're OK.

In a fit of "Fuck it, nothing is right" I have, surprising nobody, decided to just write a tool for myself for journalling. Because I loved the finger cadence of typing jt, and in my new naming scheme of picking the names of dead famous people tangentially related to the tool's purpose, my new tool will be called "Jun Takami".

Another thought along these lines.

I've looked at https://getzola.org/ but it seems to be impossible to search for people writing plugins / themes / etc. because of other things called 'Zola'. Does anyone here know of a Zola theme/plugin which does calendaring? I could in theory use Zola if I could generate calendars for my journalling entries.

Dear Fediverse,

I am interested in replacing my current slapdash efforts at regular journalling with something a little more organised. In the past I've tried @liw 's https://gtdfh.liw.fi/ as well as https://wiki.dendron.so/ org-mode and various other options including a home-grown journal thing. What all of them have in common is "plain text in a git repo" as well as "entirely free to use, in terms of cost, rights, and tooling".

I'm looking for a 2025 option to try out.

Any suggestions?

The more I read about people's experiences with Bluesky vs. Mastodon, the more I am convinced that I am an edge case user of social media.

Since shifting to Mastodon I have been far more comfortable. I see far less random crap, spend much less time doom-scrolling, and I have to put up with far less random stuff people "boost" which I'm not interested in.

I'm not trying to be a "follow all the people" person, nor do I use tags as a discovery mechanism.

I am enjoying being an outlier. Are you?

Today I wrote a bad shell script. I then looked at it and wondered about making it less bad. Then I committed it, pushed it, and put the ticket in the "good enough for now" column on my project board.

I love this way of handling issues - past me is a dick, and future me will have to deal with his technical debt. But present me gets to go to bed on time.

Welcome to hell-week everyone - where the US is offset from the rest of the world by another hour because they refuse to change clocks at the same time as the rest of us.

Dear everyone,

Please stop saying "Blazingly fast" - it raises connotations of "If you use this, your project will be on fire, and not in a good way".

No Love,

Me.

I want to try building a sway config. To do this, I'd like to stand up a VM in which to test it. I need multi-head support; so I figured I'd add another -device virtio-vga to the qemu CLI. This lets sway detect a second head, but I cannot seem to enable it no matter what I do -- does anyone have experience of doing this kind of thing? What am I missing?

I'm starting to think the right thing for me to do is to get a modern AMD GPU of some kind

Well, I was going to continue my exploration into wayland and hyprland, but it turns out that nvidia are so FOSS-hostile that qemu can't do GL passthrough with nvidia :(

Do I know anyone in Montréal for #rustconf who didn't sign up for the workshops and might fancy a coffee and chat this afternoon?

I will be in Montréal from Saturday lunchtime-ish for #rustconf and I'd love to meet up with other Rust people. I would love to talk to anyone interested in private registries or in acceptance testing of Rust projects in particular. Or just to chat and have a wander.
