🐍🗓️6️⃣ The dateutil library is a popular and powerful Python library for dealing with dates and times.
However, it still supports Python 2.7 by depending on the six compatibility shim, and I’d prefer not to install it for Python 3.10+.
Here’s how I replaced three uses of its relativedelta in a couple of CLIs that didn’t really need to use it.

An interesting diplomatic communication today from #France toward #Russia: https://onu.delegfrance.org/france-reaffirms-its-support-for-international-space-law
"France reaffirms its support for international space law, which must be complemented by confidence-building and transparency measures, as well as by the development of norms of responsible behavior.
"In the face of threats, our primary safeguard remains compliance with the international legal regime applicable to outer space, and first and foremost the 1967 Treaty, which is its cornerstone.
"In this regard, France reiterates its concern about the potential placement of weapons of mass destruction in outer space, which would constitute a flagrant violation of Article 4 of the 1967 Treaty, and a major threat to international peace and security.
"In addition, France is involved in ongoing discussions in the competent bodies on ways to prevent an arms race in outer space. The most appropriate approach to this end is the development of norms of responsible behavior that promote mutual understanding and reduce the risks of uncontrolled escalation. These norms could serve, if necessary, as a basis for the subsequent development of new legally or politically binding instruments."
Announcement! 
with the aim of making the project more community-based, the idea is to have a weekly meeting for anyone who wants to chat, exchange ideas, share knowledge, and contribute to the project.
The first meeting will be at 1 p.m. (UTC) on Wednesday, November 5 on the IRC channel #gancio on irc.libera.chat and on a jitsi channel that will be shared there (and here).
we will talk about the status of the project and of release 2.x
feel free to stop by. 
In that case, why don't we make every child born here automatically British? I'm sure Reform would be jumping for joy.
Number of people who say Britons must be born in UK is rising, study shows

Carl Sagan called it over 30 years ago. And the saddest thing is that too many under 30 don’t even know what the fuck he was talking about. For the very reasons he was talking about. #WASF
If like me you have a mental model that SQLite doesn't accept outside contributions you should update it, I just got called out by D. Richard Hipp for spreading that misinformation in a comment on Hacker News
They DO accept contributions, but are very selective (only ~37 contributors total so far) and require a signed public domain release https://simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/29/copyright-release/
I just tried Marmite for the first time, and I ask as a friend: what's wrong with you people? Is peanut butter illegal where you live or something? Was a famine involved? Dire times and zombies, perhaps?

altbot v2.5 is out!
fixed non-english support! switched to a two model setup: gemma3:1b handles translations while qwen3-vl does the image processing stuff. gemma3:1b is surprisingly good at translations for such a tiny model??
now running 23.7gb out of 24gb vram on my server, but everything stays hot and loaded so no cold start penalty (which would have been very bad for power usage especially)
also pixelfed should work again since thes gdpr update (hopefully?? i don't have an account to test with so if you're on pixelfed lmk if it breaks)

edit: reworded "vision stuff" to "image processing stuff" poor word choice on my part, was thinking about the term VLLM (Vision Large Language Model) when writing that

@melvincarvalho just shared https://socialdocs.org/ on the SocialCG mailing list. It looks like a great resource for ActivityPub info. I see a few mistakes, but in general it seems to be pointing in the right direction.

What I'm listening to today: "Ondes Martenot + Montreal Assembly's Count to Five pedal", Light
Cross-century ambient music (or we're closer to Satie than Eno here, so "furniture music"?). A 1930s proto-synthesizer¹ arranged via the thing "guitar pedal" means in the 2020s (a microcontroller/computer in a small box with a foot interface). Slow cinematic score for establishing shots, sunbeams, people in dim cafes waiting for something

My personal OUTs: despair! What a waste of energy. And certain LLMs, while we're at it.
My personal INs: literally doing something! It's easier said than done, but only slightly.
Also, let's bring back whichever fashions I already have in my wardrobe.
