What is Hackers' Pub?

Vintage dollhouse cat from my collection. Pictured on Francie for no particular reason at all.

What online #Python communities would you most recommend?

For someone new to Python?

For someone using Python but not yet tapped into a community? (outside of their work place / friends)

Today's letter to my congressman.

Dear Congressman,
The point of this message is to urge you to use your seat on the House Judiciary Committee to investigate the partisan hackery that appears to be rampant within the Department of Justice.

As I pointed out in my last email, Kash Patel appears to have lied to your face during his statements regarding Mr. Trump's name being mentioned in the Epstein Files. I hope you will avail yourself to demand Mr. Patel clarify his remarks, and apologize if warranted.

Additionally, I'd like to draw your attention the the testimony by Lindsey Halligan today in the DOJ prosecution of James Comey. Halligan testified that she did not present to the entire grand jury the indictment that she presented to the court itself.

I'm not writing to defend James Comey - he's awful, and remains awful. I'm writing because 1) it seems like the Department of Justice (Comey, Patel) is making a habit of misleading the Congress, and 2) the current crop of DOJ lawyers - specifically Ms. Halligan - are inept at doing their jobs.

Fixing these two problems are exactly what your Committee is tasked with fixing. Please step up your efforts.

Finally, let me thank you for changing your vote to support the release of the Epstein Files. I'd glad that Mr. Trump's fit of pique was able to assuage your valid and thoughtful concerns about the privacy of Epstein's victims.

Regards,

New Yorker Comic

Suppose you run your #Python web app with gunicorn. And for metrics, you run the Python Prometheus client in multiprocess mode, since you have multiple worker processes. And you set PROMETHEUS_MULTIPROC_DIR the way the docs tell you to.

Now, what's your favorite way to implement the other thing the docs tell you to do?

> This directory must be wiped between process/Gunicorn runs (before startup is recommended).

So. Do you wipe it only when gunicorn itself boots? Do you wipe it on every worker process start? Periodically via cron-type job? Something else?

Genuine question. Asking for a friend, and the friend happens to be me.

Just as I was getting ready to cook my Viennese wurst, I realized there was no more mustard in the house.

If anyone needs me, I'll be over there in the corner, gently weeping tears of shame and frustration.

What I'm listening to today: "cem", evadum

Astral-journey ambient on vintage 1980s 4-track pro tape recorder and Nanoloop 2 for Nintendo DS. Ocean waves made out of sawtooths and voices made of saltwater, a beat so slow it feels like something entirely other than a beat. Drags a single feel out for five minutes then abruptly stops, and it is an excellent feel
