Not gonna lie: In comparison to #node and #php the package and version management of python is pretty janky.

pipenv/pyenv makes it bearable, but it’s still kind of a mess.

P.S: PHP’s version management is bad, too. PHPBrew is the best option. But since I use Herd/use a Container, it doesn’t matter as much. Composer is great though.

P.P.S: You can get lost in the weeds with JS/TS package management, but just using npm or (my fav) pnpm and nvm for version management is rock solid.

One thing I have learned about BIG displays (I have a 42,5" one from LG): I like it about 60% of the time, but I don’t need it. Some of the time it is overwhelming and the upper 25% are not really used. I have display some widgets there, sometimes a window, but most often only the widgets.

Can’t wait to play the new Factorio DLC as soon as my work day is over!

As soon as I learn that something has taken VC money, I immediately loose all interest in whatever app/service it is. I might use it as long as it is free, but I would never build my digital life around such a product. Lessons learned.

A streamer/Youtuber I watch for cozy vibes made a video about a very upsetting topic that leads almost directly to very upsetting further comments and posts by other people about the same topic. And I can’t stop clicking around and hate-consuming that crap. It isn’t even that they are wrong necessarily, but I really didn’t want to be so upset at the end of the day… (This post is an attempt to make it stop)

Honestly? I didn’t mind that the iPad mini wasn’t updated more than it was. Sure I would have liked a magic keyboard (or some such) for it, but otherwise it’s a pretty nice device already.

TIL: Using strict intervals (e.g. every week) to water your plants instead of humidity of the soil. Is akin to using volume instead of gram measurements in cooking. It’s imprecise and misleading.

Back at work after a pretty bad flu that lasted the whole week. Still have some snot and some coughs left.
