(#bma2d6a) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Cool! š You might be interested in my own learnings and toying around with building my own container engine / tooling (whatever you wanna call it) box. I had to learn a bunch of this stuff too š Control Groups, Namespaces, Process Isolation, etc.
I went on a short stroll in the woods and came across two great spotted woodpeckers. They were busy with their courtship display, I reckon, so it took them a while to notice me and escape into thicker parts out of sight. That was really awesome. There are a lot of apples and sloes now, looking really good. The cam issues still persist, though, I wish the photos were sharper. Also, I got the error that the function wheel was not adjusted correctly and alledgedly pointed between two options numerous times. And no, it was bang on a setting. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-10-07/

Today, I experimented with Linux Capabilities as a continuation to my Unix Domain Sockets research from a few months ago: https://lyse.isobeef.org/caller-information-via-unix-domain-sockets/#capabilities

(#72pp3ya) @alexonit@twtxt.alessandrocutolo.it Thanks mate! Ah cool, now Iām curious, what did you make? :-)
You used the rubber hammer to fold the metal, not to set the rivets, right? :-? I glued cork on my wooden mallet some time ago. This worked quite good for bending. But rubber might be even better as it is a tad softer. I will try this next time, I think I have one deep down in a drawer somewhere.

(#7ahwhrq) I experimented with a 2.4x7mm aluminium rivet I had on hand. As expected, it was quite a bit long. Using my pliers wrench, I was able to crush it down by quite some bit. I should have taken a photo right after the hand riveter for comparison. Now, itās much smoother and the chance of cutting my hand open is reduced by quite a bit. But breaking the burr with a few file strokes is still necessary. I should get 2.4x4mm rivets and try with them. I reckon they would be more suited for my 0.5mm sheet metal.
With the pliers wrench again, I was able to also crush down the chopped off 3mm copper nail and form a second head. That was surprisingly easy. Now, I need to figure out how to efficiently make a head on the remaining copper nail shaft, so that I can use this again.
Both are rock solid, thereās absolutely no movement at all between the two sheet metal cutoffs.
(#b2ry7ia) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Too bad. :-/
(#w2c5yxq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yep, thereās python3-tk
and a bunch more packages with extensions.
(#lrlkp2q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
I was always under the wrong impression that Tkinter is bundled with Python.
It should be. Maybe your distro splits it off. š¤
(#6wtfcsq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nope. I think they stayed only one year. š¢
(#6wtfcsq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice! Are there still chicken on this field?
(#lrlkp2q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I never programmed with Tkinter myself and itās been ages that I ran a program which used it. I always thought that it looks awful. But maybe there are nicer themes these days. I just wanted to give the demo python3 -m tkinter
a try, but this module doesnāt exist. I was always under the wrong impression that Tkinter is bundled with Python.
(#6wtfcsq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de damn! those are some fine looking chickens š
From the chicken archive, 2017.
Not mine, these were more or less free roaming chickens. Farmers didnāt use some of their fields for a while and allowed some other farmer to let the birds live there in the meantime.
(#oddn4za) @prologic@twtxt.net Whoop whoop š„³
(#jgotecq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Xfce is nice, but itās also mostly GTK. I donāt really know the answer yet. For now, Iāll just avoid anything that uses GTK4.
For my own programs, I might have a closer look at Tkinter. I was complaining recently that I couldnāt find a good file manager, so it might be an interesting excercise to write one in Python+Tkinter. š¤ (Or maybe thatās too much work, I donāt know yet.)
(#jgotecq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I was never a fan of GTK, because coming from KDE, it didnāt offer remotely as much of customizability. What are you switching to, Xfce?

I suspect that the timing was just right. Or wrong, depending on how youāre looking at it. ;-)
(#cityvxa) @bender@twtxt.net Wow, youāre good.
It was an edit, within a minute or two of posting. I didnāt think anyone would notice.
Thatās what I call on it. š

Apple takes down ICE tracking apps after pressure from Bondi DOJ

Itās time to say goodbye to the GTK world.
GTK2 was nice to work with, relatively lightweight, and there were many cool themes back then. GTK3 was already a bit clunky, but tolerable. GTK4 now pulls in all kinds of stuff that Iām not interested in, it has become quite heavy.
Farewell. š
(#m2fpmoa) @bender@twtxt.net Who?

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 ā and now I canāt find any Linux drivers for that hardware anymore. Just doesnāt list it (it does list some drivers for Windows 7, for example).
I mean, okay, weāre 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 didnāt pay attention to that 20 years ago.
