what’s your secret name for the project?

the ludwicks of Void Linux ftw!

i’d actually like to do something else with my lifetime besides constantly being tossed around for no apparent benefit. i’m sure there is a good excuse. There always is.

Very wise idea. And if you want to up your game, can validate the yaml against a schema.

Check out strictyaml

The author is ahead of his time. Uses validated yaml to build stories and weave those into web sites.

Unfortunately the author also does the same with strictyaml tests. Can get frustrating cause the tests are too simple.

Curious to hear your reasoning as to why yaml is less desirable? Would think the opposite.

Surprised me with your strong opinion.

Maybe if you would allow, and have a few shot glasses handy, could take a stab at changing your mind.

But first list all your reservations concerning yaml

Relevent packages I wrote that rely on yaml

• pytest-logging-strict

• sphinx-external-toc-strict

Sorry

Is that a quote from Forest Gump movie?

Slightly healthier words of wisdom

Only so much humor can take on an empty stomach

from multiprocessing import Lock
l = Lock()

flake8 … way too ambiguous

so what if it’s 100x slower /nosarc

so does zfs, so does wayland, so does trying out every distro, so does trying out every text editor and associated plugins, so does trying out ventoy, so does GrapheneOS, …

Everything makes life easier, but comes down to,

Linux isn't free, it costs you your time

Which can be reframed, what do you really want to spend your time on?

If i really really really had to answer that overly honestly, want:

• my GUI apps non-blocking on heavy background processes

• distributing out tasks to many computers and runners

None of which screams or necessitates systemd or zfs or wayland or trying out every distro, every text editor every plugin, ventoy, or GrapheneOS.

Not in a house with a fox with a crow and a bow a knot on a cot or relaxed in the snow, i will not eat never ending random suggestions Sam, i will never eat them Sam i am.

There is lots of complexity creep. And i’m one person with a finite lifespan. So had to decide what to spend time on.

systemd is ideal for those running servers. I’m publishing Python packages and wanted to keep focused on that.

If you wish to work for me for free, cuz i have zero access to labor or funding, to upgrade my tech infrastructure, i could be a useful person to know.

Especially if you believe strongly i should be running much better infrastructure.

i’m deadly serious. A cafe isn’t silent, just are left alone to do our thing

i ditched Ubuntu for Void Linux LXDE. Void Linux has runit rather than systemd

This predates snapd

Disclaimer: you have to setup the wifi and enable logind

Take any package that is no longer maintained and git clone it.

Configure the dev environment

• pre-compile

• three tox config files:

  testing, docs/lint/formatting/pre-compile/interrogate, update/sync requirements files

• unittest --> pytest

  Read the tests and then bring it up to your current competency level

• gh workflows

• pyproject.toml

poetry is worthless!

If the build backend focus is on requirements and not build plugins, remove it. Use a separate package for requirements file management.

For how to do this see how logging-strict is doing it

https://github.com/msftcangoblowm/logging-strict

Specifically pyproject.toml and tox-req.ini

You are not safe

home is not a safe environment. Might be possible with alot of preparation like sound proof and a lock on the room.

The entire point of all the security is to protect yourself from the wife unit

I code at a cafe. Far far far away from interruptions.

Just got back from talking with our team. The senior coder in charge of emojis in usernames is currently upgrading the windmills in the uk, having been able to enhance efficiency by 0.001%. Wow! Thats 14 Mega tons of CO2 removed from the atmosphere every year!

Will take the weekend to get commercial Fusion energy rolled out and right after that will address your issue. Which i’m sure many other users will be thankful you brought to our attention. And luckily had the right man for the job on staff. He’s amazing, capable, enthusiastic, and eager to help.

“I admire your creativity. Will talk with our team, get their feedback, and timeline. See when can add support for emojis in usernames”

Hmmm … Thought it was agreed to not to say the quiet part out loud eh?

No one likes being insulted ESPECIALLY when it’s true.

This is why we praise them and spin every statement in a positive light.

i’m opposed to Grandma asking for IT support

Grandma gets a smartphone

They live along with us.

• a bulldog gets onto a treadmill

• a dog is trained to press buttons on the floor to express their desires

• AI is used to decipher an animals language meaning and speech recognition

• Koko the gorilla using celebrities to do marketing and guarantee TV time and our attention.

All these things are animals using tech.
