All good things come to an end, I guess.

I have an Epson printer (AcuLaser C1100) and an Epson scanner (Perfection V10), both of which I bought about 20 years ago. The hardware still works perfectly fine.

Until recently, Epson still provided Linux drivers for them. That is pretty cool! I noticed today that they have relaunched their driver website – and now I can’t find any Linux drivers for that hardware anymore. Just doesn’t list it (it does list some drivers for Windows 7, for example).

I mean, okay, we’re talking about 20 years here. That is a very long time, much more than I expected. But if it still works, why not keep using it?

Some years ago, I started archiving these drivers locally, because I anticipated that they might vanish at some point. So I can still use my hardware for now (even if I had to reinstall my PC for some reason). It might get hacky at some point in the future, though.

This once more underlines the importance of FOSS drivers for your hardware. I sadly didn’t pay attention to that 20 years ago.

Sabemos que (no hemisfério norte) a noite mais longa do ano é em Dezembro, mas em Lamego, cidade das Noites Longas, é de 7 para 8 de Setembro que acontece a “Grande Noite da Romaria de Portugal” (os Lamecenses chamam-lhe “a noitada”). Arruadas por rusgas populares que alegremente percorrem a cidade cantando temas populares e cantigas ao desafio, pelo rufar típico dos bombos e alegres toques de concertinas, preenchem a noite até ao amanhecer - é a noite em que a cidade não dorme.

Já não tenho idade para essas coisas (mental, que física sou ultrapassado na boa por muitos foliões!), e amanhã é dia de trabalho, pelo que este ano me fiquei pela batalha das flores que aconteceu durante a tarde e para a qual - imaginem! - não se encontravam fotos com licenças livres, algo que aproveito para colmatar 😇

New World Chaos 7: Program of Life-and-Death | https://nilfm.cc/mixes.html

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I spent so much time in the past figuring out if something is a dict or a list in YAML, for example.

What are the types in this example?

items:
- part_no:   A4786
  descrip:   Water Bucket (Filled)
  price:     1.47
  quantity:  4
- part_no:   E1628
  descrip:   High Heeled "Ruby" Slippers
  size:      8
  price:     133.7
  quantity:  1

items is a dict containing … a list of two other dicts? Right?

It is quite hard for me to grasp the structure of YAML docs. 😢

The big advantage of YAML (and JSON and TOML) is that it’s much easier to write code for those formats, than it is with XML. json.loads() and you’re done.

Maybe someone can explain this to me.

An #EU citizen trying to access Facebook today faces the following choices (see screenshots).

In there, they say that they are asking this again to comply with #EU rules, and yet the question - and the options to choose from - are the same they had in the past.

So, hm, how does this make them comply with something they weren’t complying before? What’s the detail I’m missing?

18 rules of Software Engineering

1. You will regret complexity when on-call
   
2. Stop falling in love with your own code
   
3. Everything is a trade-off. There’s no “best” 3. Every line of code you write is a liability 4. Document your decisions and designs
   
4. Everyone hates code they didn’t write
   
5. Don’t use unnecessary dependencies
   
6. Coding standards prevent arguments
   
7. Write meaningful commit messages
   
8. Don’t ever stop learning new things
   
9. Code reviews spread knowledge
   
10. Always build for maintainability
    
11. Ask for help when you’re stuck
    
12. Fix root causes, not symptoms
    
13. Software is never completed
    
14. Estimates are not promises
    
15. Ship early, iterate often
    
16. Keep. It. Simple.
    

Solid list, even though 14 is up for debate in my opinion: Software can be completed. You have a use case / problem, you solve that problem, done. Your software is completed now. There might still be bugs and they should be fixed – but this doesn’t “add” to the program. Don’t use “software is never done” as an excuse to keep adding and adding stuff to your code.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I use Alt+. all the time, it’s great. 👌

FWIW, another thing I often use is !! to recall the entire previous command line:

$ find -iname '*foo*'
./This is a foo file.txt

$ cat "$(!!)"
cat "$(find -iname '*foo*')"
This is just a test.

Yep!

Or:

$ ls -al subdir
ls: cannot open directory 'subdir': Permission denied

$ sudo !!
sudo ls -al subdir

“Later in the evening, posting on X, #Macron said: “I’m banning #socialmedia for #children under 15. Platforms have the ability to verify age. Let’s do it.”

French authorities are already progressing with efforts to force certain social media sites — including X, Reddit, Bluesky and #Mastodon — to introduce age verification, by classifying them as pornographic websites.

French measures forcing porn sites to verify their users’ ages came into effect on June 7, prompting the world’s largest porn website, Pornhub, to stop operating in France. Demand for virtual private network services, which allow users to trick websites into thinking they are in a different location, immediately surged.”
