Python's os.path.abspath or Path.absolute are great: you give them a path, which might not exist, and you get a path you can use regardless of the current directory. os.path.abspath will also normalize it, while Path will not by default because with Paths a normal form is less needed.This is great to normalize input...

After attending the 2024 LibreOffice conference in Luxembourg, I visited Paris in October 2024. If you are wondering whether I needed another visa to cross the border into France— I didn’t! Further, they are both also EU members, which means you don’t need to go through customs either. Thus, crossing the Luxembourg-...

The Book That Held Her Heart is the third and final book of the Library fantasy trilogy and a direct sequel to The Book That Broke the World. Lawrence provides a much-needed summary of the previous volumes at the start of this book (thank you to every author who does this!), but I was still struggling a bit with the...

Many years ago I was on a programming project porting code from OS/2 1.x to NT. When I was there they suddenly decided to make a database of all people and get job titles for everyone – apparently the position description used when advertising the jobs wasn’t sufficient. When I got given a clipboard with a form to w...

The subtitle of Paper Soldiers is "How the Weaponization of the Dollar Changed the World Order," which may give you the impression that this book is about US use of the dollar system for political purposes such as sanctions. Do not be fooled like I was; this subtitle is, at best, deceptive. Coverage of the weaponiza...

Posted by Daniel Lange on Wednesday, 3. February 2021 The first install of a Gentoo kernel needs to be somewhat manual if you want to optimize the kernel for the (virtual) system it boots on. In part 1 I laid out how to improve the subsequent emerges of sys-kernel/gentoo-sources with a small drop in script to build ...

For some weird reason Perlmonks does not allow me to reply with amendments even after I created an account. I can "preview" a reply at Perlmonks but after ...

Posted by Daniel Lange on Saturday, 3. May 2025 Apt in Trixie (Debian 13) has the annoying function to tell you "Notice: Some sources can be modernized. Run 'apt modernize-sources' to do so." ... every single time you run apt update. Not cool for logs and log monitoring. And - of course - if you had the option to do...

Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City is... hm, honestly, I'm not sure what the genre of this novel is. It is a story about medieval engineering and siege weapons in a Rome-inspired secondary world that so far as I can tell is not meant to match ours. There is not a hint of magic. It's not technically a fantasy, but ...

After thinking about multi-stage Debian rebuilds I wanted to implement the idea. Recall my illustration: Earlier I rebuilt all packages that make up the difference between Ubuntu and Trisquel. It turned out to be a 42% bit-by-bit identical similarity. To check the generality of my approach, I rebuilt the difference ...
