@jk I liked it way enough to buy a downloadable copy, actually.
Today I listened to @jk's album. And I liked it.
Hey! Want to work at GNOME? We've opened recruitment for further expansion https://www.gnome.org/news/2018/07/gnome-foundation-opens-recruitment-for-further-expansion/
Also, I don't want huge monster tools like Packer or “docker-compose”, they reek of bloat. Of I need something complex to make my images, I would use Vagga for that anyway, which will happily output tarballs.
So, basically there is no standalone tool that takes a tarball and prepares a file system image contained in it to be pushed to Docker Hub. And no “docker import” is not standalone, because it requires the whole of Docker. Dear #lazyweb, I want something like “img” that takes a tarball as input.
For reference: https://github.com/genuinetools/img
If nobody has done it before, maybe O should fork “img” and call the newfangled creature “omg”. Now that would be a cool name.
After some thinking, I'm going ahead with this Python → C rewrite. Sometimes lower-lower, tested and tried is better than doing weird contortions needed to bend around one's way around language bindings.
Tired: Rewriting C/C++/Go/Python projects in Rust.
Wired: Seriously considering rewriting a Python in C.
Beginning June 11, no more free API key for Google Maps (now Google Maps Platform) if you don't provide a credit card.
A lot of custom Google maps that have been created over the years will likely no longer work.
Time to use #leaflet and #openstreetmap

This thread is from the Birdsite, but super interesting with lots of facts about human vision: https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1014267515696922624
Super recommended (and very civil, too!).
On a completely different note, I have installed a build of microG's LineageOS and now my phone does not run the big-G Store and Services anymore → https://lineage.microg.org/
(There's still a couple of apps which use the Cloud Messaging service through microG, but this new setup makes me much happier 😉)
Trying out the Tootle #mastodon #client → https://github.com/bleakgrey/tootle
If you prefer native GTK+ apps, this one is for you! It is not as polished as the Corebird birdsite client, but works like a charm without needing to keep a tab around 😉

I've just made a small release of my #Nginx fancy indexes module, with a couple of small fixes: https://github.com/aperezdc/ngx-fancyindex/releases/tag/v0.4.3
jq is cool
The zsh-notes hack I did the other day now works much more smoothly: https://github.com/aperezdc/zsh-notes — It would be still nice to have a small screencast showing its usage. For now I won't be touching it much more, unless I find bugs.
This last weekend I discovered the FeedReader application. Highly recommended if you still think #RSS feeds are the best thing since sliced break, and you use GNOME as your desktop, or you happen to favour GTK+ applications for some reason (in my case: good Wayland + HiDPI support) → https://jangernert.github.io/FeedReader/
