I've been away from Python for a bit, and project setup seems to have advanced a lot from one obviously correct way to do things. Where there was setuptools + pip + pip-tools + venv, there is now `uv`, `pixi`, `poetry`, `pdm`, more?
Maybe because it's not obvious because I'm not dutch?

I decided to be properly cyberpunk, my bar for Neotropolis needs exhaust fans on the outside. To be cinematic, the fan should turn pointlessly slow.
I bought a fan with a speed controller. It seem to use 5V PWM. Sending my own PWM, ~8% is the lowest speed. Below […]

I wore my Owl head and cyberpunk jacket for the Halloween party at #supercon and a bit Saturday night too. Though I had to keep taking it off to speak to people. At some point I need to add a speaker like those used for some storm trooper helmets.

There were a number of cool badge cases at Supercon this year. @thzinc kinda vaporwave case was really cool in person.

Best outfit at #supercon last night IMO - @securelyfitz - above the buttons are paper displays that change questions, and when you make a choice, it takes your picture and prints out the meme with you in it and the questions you were given.

the biggest problem we *already have* in open source right now, which we have oversimplified into the term "supply chain security", is the lack of understanding that putting a dependency in your project's dependency set (package.json, pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, cargo.toml, etc) is not […]

At #burningman this year, I brought a small 1200 lumen projector that I could mount on my bike. Would it be feasible to do some quick on the fly projection mapping? It seems that yes, for somewhat small (about 6m x 3m max for reasonable brightness) and not very […]

As we prepare for colorful explosions, I remembered I wanted to share colorful lasers + confetti I saw a few months ago at Gareth Emery's LSR/City show.
I have a singular RGB laser with ILDA interface + USB DAC that I've played with a little over a year ago. Someday I'd like to drive it with code.
