Please never underestimate the impact of your reactions.
In a world of egotism, this sweet story is the antidote we need. ♥️
Yesterday, I wanted to quickly post something on my blog when I realized that my blog generating process was broken after upgrading to Debian 13.
So I had to analyze the situation, got lost in my complex shell script hell and decided to merge it into one single script without lots of dated stuff.
Next I realized that one of my own libs has a minor issue with Python 3 strings: had to migrate to raw strings to get rid of very valid warnings.
Well, I could not publish that lib any more so I had to migrate that project to "uv" to do so. Finding out how to do that ...
Lib was working. Next, I rewrote my blog generation script which took me four hours or so with heavy help of Claude AI.
Also moved this to uv.
Some unit tests were failing. Partly because of the pandoc upgrade, partly because of classic bugs.
Debugging one by one and FINALLY, after maybe six hours, I could actually publish that article.
A classic #yakshaving Saturday. 😜

this is why I love #toolbox. I use it on my Fedora laptop and the overall updates don't affect my dev environments. containertoolbx.org/
No yak shaving included 😎
In a more sensible move that some of David Lammy's recent proposals, the Govt. intends to (finally after a 2017 review) simplify the criminal record reporting scheme to remove minor juvenile offences.
In the past decade around 40% of juvenile offences reported to (prospective) employers had been committed over 30 years' earlier.
Lammy is right to remove them to help job applicants prospects. Many of us had a miss-spent youth & it shouldn't cast such a long shadow.

Here's a short chapter from Cameron Crowe's brilliant new autobiography where he describes exactly how he found a writing voice. As you'll see, this can apply to any thing for any person; Crowe is really sweet at nailing stuff without being too on-the-nose.

Har lige reserveret Solvej Balles "Om udregning af rumfang" bind 1, der er kun 21 foran mig i køen (!), så det bliver nok ikke en bog jeg læser i år, men så er den på bedding til næste år!
Tak for bibliotekerne!
Og tak til @Camlarsch og @Koefoed for at snakke om bøgerne og @CiaraNi for at skrive om bibliotekerne!
