[1] Interesting, linux supports 32 programmable buttons, special buttons that do nothing that hotkey programs like xbindkeys can pick up and run things, seems like it would be very intersting to use on a macro pad. You could easily do dynamic and complex tasks without clashing that keybinding with something else. I’m going to look into this for my next obs setup. No matter what I try to do with the hyper key it always tends to do odd things depending on the application I am in. typically its tmux, and it starts trying to do something I don’t want it to.

I’ve long had issues with my qmk keyboard media keys on my arch install, I always thought it was on the keyboard end. Today I learned that playerctl fixes this. paru -S playerctl Once it is installed all of my media keys started working right away. I played around with it a bit more and came up with a way to display the current playing title in my notifictations. notify-send "`playerctl metadata --format '{{lc(status)}}:{{artist}}-{{album}}-{{title}}'`"

Best practices for Docker in production You talkpython.fm [1] Great listen for anyone interested in productionizing python code with docker. Itamar brings up some Don’t trust base images for security, upgrade your packages. Vulnerabilties become published and solved giving the bad guys istructions how to wreck your day and these fixes wont come to your docker application for up to two weeks due to image build tatency. For job based containers pre-compile your pyc for faster startup. Alpine linux is probably not what you want for python. Many packages such as postgres ship pre-copiled binaries that work for most linux distributions wich use glibc, but alpine uses musl so the binaries will be incompatable requiring you to need to install a bunch of build dependencies.
