I've finally made a site where I can put up my (can be generously described as) music.

Have a listen if you'd like, if not that's fine too.

I've managed to finish this track that was languishing in projects folder for half a year, and I'm fairly pleased.

Synthwave-like start that veers into big synth roars and drums at the midpoint.

Memories of defending the cold fire that keeps the wolves at bay while running a 38c fever. They roar and howl in the distance, but I am safe here, as long as the fire doesn't go out.

Minor QoL update for my patch reporting program for remote unix/linux systems, you can now filter `inventory status` on whether or not updates (or security updates) are available.

It turns out: I don't like yum/dnf.

It adheres to its own internal rules, to a fault, which would be really commendable if that actually mattered at all from a UX standpoint.

exosphere is a CLI / TUI tool for aggregated patch and security update reporting via SSH.

It shows host status, displays distro updates across servers, pings connected hosts and more.

Well, it's time. I'm releasing my tool that lets you aggregate patch and update status of hosts over ssh on unix-like systems.

The github repository has details as well as links to the exhaustive documentation.

Oh no, for some reason I started making a stupid modal TUI for my nice little tool that does reporting on updates, and now I can't stop.

DO I EVEN NEED THIS AT THIS POINT? I have a super nice interactive prompt that does pretty tables and data display, but I can't stop.

#python #homelab #textual
A Text mode User Interface for Exosphere. It displays the Dashboard screen which is a grid of boxes with rounded corners, green or red tinted. Inside each box there is the nostname, platform, description followed by the online status (ONLINE in green, OFFLINE in red). There is a menu below, listing interactive keys. It reads: P: Ping All, d: Dashboard, i: Inventory, l: Logs, ^q: Quit

My homebrew tool for patches reporting is shaping up nicely. Apologies for the horrifying video aspect ratio.

It can now save and cache state across runs, which is nice.

A nice terminal table displaying a lists of servers, their hostname, the operating system they run, the specific flavor of it and version. it also shows the amount of pending system updates to be applied, as well as security updates. All the hosts show Status as "Online" in green. Whenever hosts have a non zero amount of updates in the security column, the number is red. The top header reads "Host Status Overview" in italics. At the bottom there is a prompt labeled "exosphere" awaiting more commands.

As a bonus, from the same friend, more environmental storytelling at one of his work sites.
Two handwritten notes above a trash can, one in French, one in English. They both read: don't pee in the trash. It smells bad and is disgusting

My friend sent me some environmental storytelling from one of his work sites.

The text on the trashcan reads:

```
> laundromat only <

IT IS FORBIDDEN to throw away POOP in this trashcan

```

I have so many questions.
A blue rubbermaid trashcan in a corner, with a plastic bag in it. Written in sharpie on it is the text in french: -> BUANDERIE SEULEMENT <- INTERDIT de JETER du CACA dans CETTE POUBELLE (camera)
