I’m impressed by nicegui from zauberzeug. Create web-based user interfaces with Python. The nice way.

This is super cool, thanks to Brodie for reading me this content as I do household chores. lowtech magazine is a website ran completely on solar power with only enough battery backup to cover most days. Adding enough to cover all days would increase its carbon footprint and negate the carbon offset of the solar panels it runs on. It’s fascinating to see a web server running completely off grid in a close power system. These interesting websites are fascinating keep em coming Brodie.

The Year of the Linux Desktop is a meme, every year is the year of the Linux desktop as it gains rounding errors of market share. Outside of Linux nerds, developers that use servers on the regular, cheap asses reviving old hardware that is dead in the eyes of other OS’s, the average user wont even notice a difference with the right distro. I ran bazzite with plasma for over a year, It would be super beginner friendly while allowing users customization on levels never seen on non-Linux machines. Other than adobe, roblox, and EA games with easy anti-cheat most users probably aren’t going to run in to any issues. They probably wont even notice at this point, which is where the meme comes in. Why would anyone switch if its not noticeably different for the average user, they wont, until what is working for them stops working for them.

Litewind Litewind is Tailwind without the build step litewindcss.com This is a sick no-build version of tailwind. I have a couple of projects that the build step of tailwind is cumbersome on, mostly because they are for non-js devs. Some are for backend python devs, some are for folks that mostly want markdown with some styles. This is a perfect no-build tailwind alternative.

anthony has some of the best python highlight videos each year. This might be a good sign, but each year there seems to be less and less that I am chomping at the bit to get to. I thought the remote debugger looked every interesting, his use case for seemed very interesting. I wonder what textual would look like built in a 3.14 world, would it still have built its own debugger/console? Without a process flag you need sudo permissions to attach a pdb debugger similar to gdb.

This is a pretty sick result, good fingerboards are stupid expensive. This looks like a fun way to make some good ones on the cheap.

PEP 735 – Dependency Groups in pyproject.toml | peps.python.org This PEP specifies a mechanism for storing package requirements in pyproject.toml files such that they are not included in any built distribution of the project. Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) · peps.python.org PEP 735 describes dependency groups as sets of optional dependencies that are not shipped with the package but intended for development purposes. The PEP includes an example for groups that include test, docs, typing, and a combo typing-test. This is implemented in uv and can be used by several of their commands. Dependency Groups are not Extras The docs describe extras as being intended to ship with the application and dependency groups intended for development. The spec allows both to exist with the same name, but care should be taken as tools may have different implementations. Tools MAY choose to provide the same interfaces for installing Dependency Groups as they do for installing extras. Note that this specification does not forbid having an extra whose name matches a Dependency Group. Users are advised to avoid creating Dependency Groups whose names match extras. Tools MAY treat such matching as an e…

Running Software on Software You’ve Never Run I love a good look at modern practices around semantic versioning and dependency management ( Rick Hickey’s talk “Spec-ulation” is the canonical one I think… blog.jim-nielsen.com Running software applications in production today is crazy. One point release opens up for supply chain attacks. What’s crazier is not running your production applications without a lock file, potentially running dependencies you’ve never ran before for the first time in prod.

Using Litestream to Restore My Database for Easy Development see using-litestream-to-backup-quadtasks-sqlite-db for how I setup litestream replication for quadtask My mental data-lake · pype.dev I really like how well the local dev is setup to run off of production data here. I’ll use this as a reminder that I need to set up lite stream on a few of my projects that it’s missing from and include a nice sync prod data Posts tagged: justfile recipe. Litestreams interface always throws me for a loop. It works fantastic, but the global config stored in /etc and some of the commands break my brain. It’s not you it’s me. Using real data when you can is goated. Fake data is so often a perfect example of what someone thinks the backend should look like and does not include things that users actually do, running pipelines for days, or setting titles to paragraphs worth of text. Obviously this is not possible everywhere and the more sensitive your data the harder that process becomes.

TIL: Loading.env files with uv run Replacing python-dotenv with uv https://daniel.feldroy.com · daniel.feldroy.com I smell a dependency to dying in my workflow. I originally read the title of the post and thought, “I know how to manage.env and almost skipped it”. I’m leaning more and more on these days, so this should just go in my [[ just file]] to make it easy to run.
