Progress

I found out how to run Python things in a docker container with uv. that's useful!
Also, I deployed a project. It's running. On a modern machine with a modern setupI still got it!. I've stuck with Linux for the moment, even though I hear that BSD might be nice, too. But, meh, docker, makes things so much easier!

I also found the great tool pv, used it to throttle an SSH tunnel and immediately found out that it doesn't quite work as expected, because it counts the transmitted bytes over the entire lifetime of the connection, instead of a shorter window. That means that if you have an SSH tunnel that is mostly unused, it “accumulates” bandwidth and will be quite unlimited after you start actually using it. I have no idea how to work around that.

A different part of my work came to a close, which is sad. I enjoyed working there and I hope to do so again in the future.

I've enjoyed the AllAuth workshop with Sheena O'Connell this weekend for about 20 hours. It was great and I learned a lot.

Games

• (the) Gnorp apologue: I saw so many updates for this game that I thought there was new stuff. But there wasn't. So I played through it once and put it down again, uninstalled it, hid it from my games... until I play it the next time...

• How I built a Mechanical Calculator - YouTube: The most amazing thing about this video is that all of that machine could have been built at least since after the Antikythera mechanism was built, in about 180 BC (That device does not have bevel gears, so it is not proven that they could have built it exactly as shown, but if you look at the fine mechanics that are in the Antikythera device, you'll have to concede that they surely could've come up with and produced bevel gears or another mechanism to drive gears around corners.) So, what's missing isn't technological understanding or mechanical production abilities, but “simply” the will, the incentive to do it. Or maybe the occasion? It is frustrating to see this in history again and again, that ideas and mechanisms that seem very simple in hindsight take thousands of years to invent (If you want to have a strong repeated reminder of that fact, I suggest you read [How to invent everything].). But that also means that we should probably stop and think every now and then to think and imagine what we could build. I work in a profession where I regularly have to “build” my own tools, even though they're “only” made from software. But are there any other things I could build? Any other tools, stuff, ideas, mechanisms, little helpers I could construct? We might be building a house soon, are there any smart ideas I could integrate there simply by thinking about it? And what about you, what could you build?
