GitHub Ensloppification The one where I say goodbye to GitHub dbushell.com · dbushell.com David’s got me looking at Forgejo. I’ve seen a lot of GitHub jumpers just this week, and I’ve been tempted for a long time to self host one anyways, so it might be time. I don’t have hard issues with anything, I just like self hos…

I have a couple of use cases for simple qr codes in python coming up. One is
for blog posts, the other is for auth into a new server application logged to a
terminal. I tried the qrcode library
and it does not look as nice to me and I found
pyqrcode to be quite nice.
import pyqrcode
url = pyqrcode.create('https://waylonwalker.com/qr-codes-in-python')
url.svg('qr-codes-in-python.svg', scale=8)
print(url.terminal(quiet_zone=1))
url.svg('qr-codes-in-python.svg', scale=12)
url.svg('qr-codes-in-python.svg', omithw=True) # width is controlled by the container
url.svg('qr-codes-in-python.svg', omithw=True, module_color='#ffd119')
url.svg('qr-codes-in-python.svg', omithw=True, module_color='#ff69b4', background='#2b034c')
result #
Here is the final svg result.
Here is what it looks like in the terminal.

Letting Ai drive code feels like giving up so much control. It feels like its leaving so many brain cycles open for other things, yet its not quite good enough to do production level things on its own, so we must watch it, we must review it, yet its code can be some of the worst to review left unattended.

I’ve got a few samba shares going in my homelab, and I’m struggling finding a great app to scroll through vacation photos with my wife. I want something intuitive, non intimidating, and just works. Turns out that the default file browser application for hyprland works great, but you need to enable previews for remote storage for it to work for my use case here.

External Link meetgor.com Sometimes, all you need is a mindset shift, a blocker in your mind that holds you back from doing certain things.

External Link meetgor.com If you want to use it for the purpose of learning it, please do use it. Kubernetes as usual is a tool like others, you can’t use one tool everywhere.
