@nuthatch@infosec.exchange @aburka@hachyderm.io omg that is gold for those who get it.
At the risk of explaining the joke, it's very nearly the last line from a book by Camus that aims to answer the question of whether life is worth living: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_Sisyphus#:~:text=The%20essay%20concludes
The essay concludes, "The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
However, l'oie (the goose) has been substituted for Sisyphus.

Lots of weird dreams last night but the one I remember was: I was sooo excited about the new group I was working with. They were such retrocomputing fanatics that our online chat was UPPERCASE ASCII ONLY LIKE IT'S 1978 OR SOMETHING

Most replies seem to think this is perfectly safe if I'm sober & aware of what's going on around me. I'll have taken this route 2 or 3 times by day by this time so that will help too.
@pathunstrom@ngmx.com so I'm using a slightly modified dykes in this 6800 computer simulator with a line-based terminal UI. Compared to what I mentioned in that PR, I started using my own parser instead of shlex.
Now, I'm wondering if there's any pathway from this to tab completion in python's readline ... if you have any thoughts I'd love 'em.

@pycon @AlSweigart the fact that we have to apply the absolute value operator |x| to beginners implies that there are not only positive beginners but also negative beginners. Further, it indicates that we can extend beginners onto the complex plane using the expression ||beginners|| (read: magnitude beginners) which would allow the tutorial to encompass imaginary and complex beginners as well. In this essay, I will ...

prek (and pre-commit) support many more hooks than the default pre-commit.
I guess prek install --install-hooks will install "all hooks used in the config file". I wonder why that was not made the default!

@tommorris@mastodon.social At a previous job, we had a centralized log of every time a developer kicked off a build of the software on their local desktop.
I know one developer would come in at 5AM and run a script to switch to each major branch, build clean && build.
I don't know that it was in order to look good in case someone was treating this as a metric, but I don't know that it wasn't.

It's also worth noting that you can use Debian instead of Ubuntu in CI settings like codeberg (or github).
Use a docker image like node:25-trixie-slim to get node (needed for most major composite actions such as actions/checkout) based on the current stable debian, then add development tools with apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends.
(or you can use, say, python:3-trixie and then install the debian nodejs package)
If your dependencies are small, do it each time. If they're big, then make a docker image and publish it to whatever container repository you favor. Update it when you need to. I recommend using a date-based tagging scheme if you do this.
A bonus of doing this: you can just run the very same docker image locally to diagnose build failures.
A second bonus of doing this, especially on github: you won't be bitten by changes to the default runner environment that are outside your control.
A third bonus of doing this: you can use debian:testing or images based on it, if stable's too old for you. (traditionally GHA has only offered LTS Ubuntu versions for CI)

Where in the world are the early reviews of the #Prusa3d #bondTech INDX toolchanger? I know to take such reviews with a tablespoon of salt, but I'm really surprised there aren't a raft of youtube videos out there from folks who got shipped early units by Prusa specifically so there would be video reviews out at the same time the thing went in the store.
Of course, since Saturday it also went back out of the store reportedly due to selling through an initial production run.
