Woke up. Ignored the world. Spent the morning chopping, slicing, dicing, mincing and assembling a vegetable soup to feed us for the week.
As a request from one of my long-time fans, a new ingredient enters the pot: kale.Glad I'm always working within the constraints of a ~1 gallon pot. I could easily see myself ad-hoc'ing my way to a 5 gallon concoction. Which would be silly when there are only 2 of us to feed.

Even one papercut healed, can be a reasonable cause for celebration.
Let's celebrate. 🎉
Happy Friday! -
Well that went better than expected.
My politely declining their offer to work on one of the issues was met with equally polite understanding. #TinyVictories 🎉The last time this happened (IIRC >2 years ago), the drive-by user tried to get argumentative with me and I ended up, unfortunately, blocking them. Not today Satan. Not today.

Started my end of year digital cleaning/account & key auditing early with a surprisingly concentrated vengeance today:
Acheived Inbox Zero on all three of my active email accounts:
- account 1(emails going back to 2014)
- account 2(emails going back to 2020)
- account 3(emails going back to beginning of this year).Scrubbed, archived, deleted, unsubscribed from dozens of lists. Spotless. A ghost town. Empty.🎉 Feels good.

After nine years, my cat Anu is _finally_ willing to eat treats out of my hand.
I am a patient man. I wait. I wait. I wait.

Nifty! Was able to get the :xfce: emoji added into #Hachyderm
:xfce: Happy Tuesday! 🎉

In the middle of July, it's a pretty good week to only have one fan cooling the house.
Definitely appreciating the absence of brain-melting heat while it lasts.

Migrated my #RSS feed reader from liferea to RSS Guard last week.
I've been a bit frustrated with liferea for a while now: slow and not terribly responsive. As a result, articles have been piling up, unread. Along with the teeny anxiety in the back of the mind feeling like it's falling behind on a daunting, ever-growing reading list.
Been using RSS Guard for ~week and it feels light & responsive(even as a flatpak app, no less!).
I'm comfortably spending more time reading my subscriptions & gently sloughing off that tiny bit of dread. 🎉

Catching up on a backlog of a few long reads _and_ managing to not get distracted by external links, footnotes, or otherwise ratholing and never finishing the original article.
Mission: Accomplished 🎉
Gooood night.

Indeed. Posting the wins and celebrating the #TinyVictories where I can.

Many, many moons ago (~1988), I first learned about #LeonardPeltier and #AIM and did a very, very tiny amount of #volunteer work/#activism around the #FreeLeonardPeltier campaign.
Am quite surprised to hear today that his sentence has been commuted.

Last meal of the year made. My people ate well this year.
Glad I got a chance to learn how to be a better cook this year.

I recently picked up a used infrared-only converted Panasonic GH2 #MicroFourThirds camera. It came with one battery, but figured I should get some more.
Turns out the GH2 takes the same battery as the GX8, which I have, along with like, six batteries, so: that’s sorted.
Taking Ws where I can get them nowadays.

Very satisfying & productive day working on my little #Django learning projects.
Sucessfully upgraded the first(of ~16) of the apps to Django 5.1.1 & migrated to #Python 3.13. All of the tests (nox, linting, coverage, GH actions) passed. Docs updated.
While I've been in a bit of a motivational rut lately, all of the learning & work put in over the last year has make this a really seamless & error-free process.
Feels good.

Argh. Discovered today that a drive has been plugged into the wrong USB port for the last several months.
Also today: Wow! Everything is soooo much speedier now!
-
The heat wave finally broke here, and we're slowly getting back to doing more than whimpering.
Today's tiny victories include getting rid of a contractor sized bag of trash that was a floorpile and being halfway to moving a dresser upstairs.
Time for coffee to power the lifting bit.

In the land of lowered expectations, if I end the day with fewer open browser tabs then when I started, I consider it a win.

Pretty happy with getting a handle on generating #coverage reports with the badge & publishing them with GitHub actions.
Probably pretty basic stuff for most folks; but, I like that I've built up a muscle memory for the process & it's not _really_ dull repetition. Not terribly unlike learning a simple scale pattern on a guitar.
It's rewarding just to space out & know that you are able to do it properly without thinking.
-
Most excellent!
Instead of cascading failures, I'm getting cascading successes tonight.
Love it when the pieces to one puzzle come together to resolve a couple others that had you stumped/blocked.
-
Got to celebrate the #TinyVictories where I can get them.
Today is #HappyFeetDay for me!
Finally was able to pick up a new pair of boots to replace the ones that over-stayed their welcome for...a year(?). Too long.
Looking forward to starting daily walks again this week.

After a week of self-imposed lockdown & feeling like an utter idiot & imposter the entire time, I think that I've finally managed to build up a #Docker #Django Poetry solution that can run as a non-root user.
After using Poetry for a year+, I _really_ don't like/have a grasp on how it deals with venvs within Docker.
But, the setup works & the #nox tests pass!

Back when I worked in IT, I was strictly on software duty (the shop was a bit different than typical IT departments - I wrote more software than I troubleshooted) - the other people in the office largely did hardware stuff like making Ethernet cables and running/chasing them. I was always a little bummed that I never learned how to do any of that - until a couple days ago!
Finally made a 50-or-so CAT6 cable and ran it through three garage to the basement and it worked! Phew!

Ahhh. Wonderful! #TinyVictories for a Friday afternoon
Was struggling with being unable to update #ruff package to 0.0.291 from within Poetry from #pypi "raise RuntimeError(f"Unable to find installation candidates for {package}")"
But, I could add via a local file path. Also adds/updates were fine outside of Poetry.
Odd.
Turns out I need to "poetry cache clear PyPI --all" Never had that issue with Poetry before.

What a nice change of pace to start the day.
Before I had even had my first dose of caffeine, my daughter hit me up on Discord with a #linux problem. (Nothing too exotic. She just needed pointers to figure it out herself.)
We got to spend the next 30 minutes working through it together & solved it successfully.
...and we all lived happily ever after. The End. #TodayIsAGoodDay #TinyVictories

In today's #TinyVictories: I learned how to renew and successfully renewed an #InterLibraryLoan.
It's a good thing, because #CorneliusCastoriadis's writing is _dense_.

No screenshot right now. Just celebrating the fact that phase 'AI.enemy.WanderState' is nearly complete. All it needs now is for the enemy to stay still for a moment before deciding on the next place to move to. #GameDev #TinyVictories

In a burst of humanity (and possiby fueled by a half cup of real tea), I rose from my sickbed and baked! Ok, it was paleo scones for my own breakfast, but, having survived this, I know HOLIDAY PREPARATIONS ARE POSSIBLE! There will be delightful-smelling cookies, and wrapping of too many gifts, and OTHER THINGS NOT ON THE COUCH OF DOOM!!!
