  @yazad3@techhub.social lazynvim is highly opinionated, which is great if you're new to vi. As an ancient vi user, I'm still finding places where I need to "restore" some things to match my muscle memory. YMMV There's also kickstart[1], which isn't as opinionated, but also has less ootb. Have fun! [1]: https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim

  Popular Mechanics & Popular Science have sure changed their content since I was a kid. But at least they have some quality features that I never would have expected back then. Like this: https://www.popsci.com/environment/2025-nature-photography-contest-winners/

  @tlohde if your "little command line" is reasonable to do in 1 file, then you don't need a "module" (the empty __init__.py file). You can just use "uv init --script file.py" to get the boilerplate. As for typer vs click -- that's a preference, mostly depending on how comfortable you are with python types. Those are both not part of the standard library, so you'll want to specifically add them: "uv add --scrip...

  "What's in a word?" A lot -- sounds like Canadians have a positive word for folks who do (seemingly) random walks through "career" & "education". Pretty cool, Eh?

  URGENT: public comment ends March 5 If you don't think more than 1 million more satellites, some with mirrors to light up the dark are a good idea, ACT NOW File comment [1]; More backstory [2] These do take more work than "petitions", so TIA [1]: https://darksky.org/news/two-satellite-proposals-threaten-the-night-sky-the-window-to-act-is-now/ [2]: https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/spacex-aims-to-launch-1-million-ai-data-center-satellites/

  Please consider signing Mozilla's petition[1] against removal of end-to-end encryption in Meta's Instagram. It might be tilting at windmills, but that's the Fediverse way, right? [1]: https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/petitions/keep-encryption-for-instagram/

  @brianokken@fosstodon.org Thanks for the inspiration! I'd never heard of them before, but looked up a recipe and gave it a shot. Definitely an add to the cast iron repertoire rotation!

  @floyd@chaos.social I got curious -- `exit` is _not_ a statement in python, but there's a default hack[1] that makes it work that way in the REPL: ❯ python3 -c "exit" ❯ python3 -Sc "exit" Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in exit NameError: name 'exit' is not defined [1]:https://devdocs.io/python~3.10/library/constants#exit

  @sethmlarson@mastodon.social @bagder@mastodon.social Couldn't that be achieved by replacing the "sh" pipe target with a (python) script that does the download, signature verification, and (assuming it passes) execs "sh". E.g.: $ curl http://... | safe-sh - Certainly, that could be PoC to see how practical it would be.

  @elaterite@mastoart.social Neat! If you had one, you could get into birling, as it would help with your log rhythm. (I'll see myself out...)
