Or, you could package it as a Pex.

• it would just need a compatible Python version
• no additionalional packaging tools need to be installed by your users
• all of the dependencies packaged together once. as they were built and tested against.
• doesn’t need installing. Doesn’t install anything. Just run it.
• doesn’t depend on pypi being accessible.

Conversion of properties from one use to another fucking sucks.

I have worked in many industrial buildings that were converted to offices, and none of them had much in the way of human considerations.

I’ve lived in office to residential conversions, and while habitable they had many caveats. From utilities literally carving out spaces in rooms, odd shaped rooms, pillars in the middle of spaces, hallways barely big enough for an adult, poor lighting and little to no accessibility. The contrast between living in a purpose built residential building is black and white.

Buildings are built for a purpose. Once they are no longer needed for that purpose, tear them down and replace them with what is needed.

Retrofits allow the landed gentry to continue making money on their assets with minimal additional investment, at the expense of those using those spaces (which is never the owners)

Hello stranger what ‘ar ya buyin’ what ‘ar ya sellin’

One of my devices uses three keys because out of the two local servers I have, they seem to go down every other month, so I need a failover.

It’s obviously enough of a thing to warrant Google to crack down on it in both chrome and YouTube.

If it’s such a small problem, why spend the effort?

Weird. I’ve been thinking a lot about my aphantasia recently.

The closest I can describe what I imagined, was the feeling that those things happened.

For example. That vibe you get when you feel someone is just behind you. You can’t see them, but you know it. If I imagine someone behind me, I get the same uncomfortable feeling and an urge to look behind me.

Newzbin.

Yay!

Does NZ count as Australia too? Or are we stuck with parallel importers, or picking one up on holiday?

Sony Bravia, not connected to any network, running in Pro Mode so it’s “just a TV”

Then a PC running plex and the arrs to substitute the streaming services.

Not crazy, just sad.

Middle of the day, sitting at our desks working. This middle aged guy who was usually happy as Larry gets up and leaves the office leaving his stuff behind. Not a word said. I just assumed he was getting a coffee or something.

End of the day rolls around, stuff still there. Same thing the next day. Still there the next week.

People start asking what happened to him, but the agency he was working through kept telling us he’s coming back soon.

Over a month later, someone packs up his stuff and puts it in the bin. The guy was never coming back, turns out he went left and ended his own life the day he walked out. Never made it home.

The agency apparently only found out he was dead a few weeks after the incident, then strung us along so they could find a replacement. We terminated their contract and offered the handful of other employees jobs.

Another job, we had a new guy start. Very conventionally attractive and he seemed normal enough.

A few weeks later one of the women complained to HR that someone was stalking her. She was getting ‘flattering’ letters, emails, notes etc and they often contained information and photos in/about/around her work. Flattering, but not something she was comfortable with

Few weeks later, we’re told new guy won’t be coming back due to inappropriate behaviour.

Woman had to get a restraining order against the guy. In a twist of irony, she said that if the guy had just talked to her, she would have gone on a date with him in a heartbeat.

You appear to have eaten an Onion OP.

Imo, the term “buy” for all goods should pass some sort of litmus test. Eg:

does the product being sold have the same properties as a brick?

• can the product be resold privately?
• can the product be lent to another user temporarily?
• would the product still perform its function when the manufacturer stops supporting it?
• would the product still perform its function if the manufacturer ceased to exist.

if the product does not pass all these tests, the customer is not buying. Consider using terms such as ‘rent’ or ‘lease’ or ‘subscription’
