Allow me to introduce my small (but growing) collection of solid state disk solutions for my vintage machines. Here we have an 8MB SSD that you can add to a motherboard ROM slot (or to an ISA/PCI card with a large enough slot). Big enough for a DOS system and some network drivers

TIL loguru, a Python logging module that looks really easy (or, stupidly easy, as upstream puts it) to use. Just what I needed. https://github.com/Delgan/loguru#readme

Facebook down but the fediverse is still fediversing.

DebConf21 Group photo. This was a tough one, we all really want a real-life event, hopefully next year!

I'm enjoying doing some actual Debian packaging work for a change.

Congrats to the #Flask project on their 2.0 release, it's a really important project that makes easy and sane web development work possible for the masses. https://palletsprojects.com/blog/flask-2-0-released/

MiniDebConf India 2021 group photo, very well executed online conference that had a great line-up of talks covering 6 languages over two tracks. Thanks to everyone who were involved who organised, presented and participated! #debian #debconf

Catching up with my stable release updates in Debian. They're not really that scary.

These lockdown dreams are strange. Last night I dreamt that I was a contested in Survivor and won. For the final challenge we had to make a toasted cheese sandwich and when I got back home reporters were hassling me with 100s of questions about toasted cheese sandwiches.

Got inspiration to solve a problem with getting Debian bootstrapped on rpi3/4... now I can't find my stupid micro sd -> sd card converter that I need and it's driving me crazy.

This is me over and over.

@dansup Too late to request an invite? (me too pls :) )

The first MiniDebConf Online event has been announced for the end of the month: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2020/05/msg00001.html #debian

Still kind of amazing that you can install Debian (and other Linux systems) straight from the Windows Store.

Some form of gearbox demo built with magnets. Fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4qPSm_8P1E

New #calamares released and uploaded to Debian unstable. Details: http://calamares.io/calamares-3.2.22-is-out/

@dansup you know everyone is just going to call it MPF anyway and won't know what it stands for

Social isolation is tough. I keep feeling the instinct to invite some friends over or hope on to my bike and go to them, and then I realise I can't.

@tzafrir Some services will be more tricky than others, but overall it does force us to make your username the same as your debian account name. Unfortunately that also means that during this test phase we're only creating accounts for debian members. Fortunately, because it's all federated non-Debian people can get accounts on public instances and follow from there.
