I still don’t understand sub posts, I just thought of writing this information. Sorry if I did a mistake.

no, uv is open source and maintained by Astral for now.

Deleted 11k emails from morning. Feels good.

What is the name of that web application starts with A (hopefully) which provides nice way to block bots? My brain gave up.

I am converting between `Value` and `Map` and `HashSet` so many times, I am sure those can be improved, also I think many places can be improved by using simpler rust than my beginner style :)

I am sure https://github.com/SUNET/oidfed_metadata_policy this codebase can be improved a 1000 times, with cleaner code/style :)

I don’t think it is #rust but just me not knowing enough rust

2025-04-29 10:18:33 UTC

I don’t think I am liking dealing with #json in #rust :)

HAProxy is taking all the CPUs (4 in a vm) and doing around 1200 requests/sec, the backend can locally do 23k req/sec. If I enable caching in HA, then I can push to max 2700-2800 req/sec. I am wondering if I can push it more.

That is not a real thread. Also https://github.com/beeware/briefcase-macOS-app-template/issues/7 and https://github.com/beeware/briefcase-macOS-app-template/issues/7 will tell you about multiprocessing issue.

2025-02-08 20:07:57 UTC

What is a good way to have real #thread or #process in #python in multiplatform? the #QThread from #pyside6 is the only option I used so far, but that requires the whole pyside6 library to be installed.

Extremely frustrated and sad over the new #swedish immigration laws. It seems they want to punish because I wanted to be part of the society and help to build country's #infrastructure and future.

PyConNL and maybe the Swedish one too.

People above 40, how do you remember what did you work on last week? What was the situation of that other thing/project? How do you go back/ jump arround? Something that can work with an #ADHD brain.

Most people are missing the whole concept of websites/pages.

People in #fediverse (new ones) need to learn the idea of independent sites/webpages, otherwise they will keep using these services.

Packaging and distribution of software is a hard problem. Much harder than most people think.

`cowsay` team already using the beta version to secure all of their infrastructure.

Will announce my new startup very soon:
```
Cloud native, **#blockchain** enabled, **#AI** driven **#CSS** framework for **#security**.
```
Just use the CSS on the website/apps, it will solve all security problems.
Now, I just wait for the VCs to contact me.

What would be a small but nice #desktop application to write as example of a workshop? #linux #mac

Hello #python friends, is anyone building desktop apps using HTML+something, in #Python?
