I just have to say this: the NixOS module system is a brilliant piece of work. Once again, it works so well that it feels like magic.

Explanation: I'm splitting my large nixos and home-manager config files into logical units. To do this, you need to use the module system via the imports utility. If I declare a simple text file in an import, and re-declare its content in a subsequent import, the module system knows not to overwrite, but append it. So useful!

And the same applies to attribute sets, and probably other data types (lists?) too! A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

@whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ May I ask ( because I cannot find anything relevant on the github repo or glasgow webpage ), what is the current state for the requirement of every applet consuming exactly one pipe on glasgow's multi command ?

It is not a blocking issue, and I don't expect it to be prioritized as it is a big change, low impact, high chance of disruption, just asking to know if I missed something that is not in the documentation/github in order to update my process.

if it matters, I mainly use probe-rs and uart together ( glasgow multi probe-rs --voltage A=3.3 --swclk A0 --swdio A1 ++ uart --rx A7 --tx A6 -a socket tcp:127.0.0.1:8765 ) and I just have to stop the uart applet every time I need to push new code to the microcontroller to avoid probe-rs complaining that the device is busy.

I have been hesitating to say this but the pattern is now so consistent I just have to share the observation: LLM users don't just behave like addicts, not even like gambling addicts. They specifically behave like kratom addicts. "Sure, it can be dangerous. Sure, it has risks. But I'm not like those other users. I can handle it. I have a system. It really helps me be productive. It helps with my ADHD so much."

I love reading large threads of people with absolutely zero clue about stuff, and zero historical perspective about how stuff works, but throwing around absolutes like “this thing is unacceptable” or “the project is blocking everybody”. It’s literally hilarious to witness the extent of lack of self awareness.

As a newbie, I'm continuing with the .
The bosses... Moose and Kacang (pronounced KAH-chang not Ka-CHANG).
They came to stay temporarily when my daughter (their "mum") couldn't find accommodation that would permit animals. That was about 4 years ago now, and for one reason or another, they are now permanent, and very welcome, residents in our home.
Moo is the black & white fluffy one and likes reading, and Kacang is the white & black short-hair, and enjoys houseplants.

Photographic side-on portrait of our fluffy tuxedo cat, Moose.  As a tuxedo, she is black almost all over, but has a white chest, and a partially white face.
She is pictured gazing into space while sitting in front of the piles of books on our very overcrowded bookcase.Photograph of our short-hair cat, Kacang.  From this angle she looks almost completely white, showing just small touches of black on her head around her ears, on her back, and leg. Her eyes are startlingly beautiful against her white hair, almost as if she is wearing black eyeliner.
She's sitting on a table in front of a small yucca plant.  The leaves of the plant look like they are sprouting out of the top of the cat's head.
The yellow wall to the side is so brightly sunlit that it looks orange where Kacang and the yucca cast distinct shadows.

I gave a lightning talk at a bunch of conferences in 2025 about some of the exciting new things coming in Python 3.14, including template strings.

One thing we can use t-strings for is to prevent SQL injection. I illustrated this with xkcd 327 aka “Little Bobby Tables”.

I localised most of the slides for the PyCon I was at, including this comic. Here they are!

Everything You Need to Know About Email Encryption in 2026

If you think about emails as if they're anything but the digital equivalent of a postcard--that is to say, they provide zero confidentiality--then someone lied to you and I'm sorry you had to find out from a furry blog that sometimes talks about applied cryptography. CMYKat At the end of 2025, at the 39th Chaos Communications Congress in Hamburg, Germany, a team of security researchers posted some devastating…
