Ugh, those LLM bots on Github...
In #OpenRV's repo a commit is "fixed typo". Then a bot comments with a wall of text about what that commit is doing in a tone that sounds like Brainy Smurf right before he's getting booted out of the village. Then the devs add a file to the repo that asks LLMs to only raise issues when they're 100% sure it's an actual issue.
Exa…

I’m slightly feverish (I’m sure that’s the reason) to announce stamina 25.2.0! Among others, it allows `on` hooks to return custom back-off values (think: Retry-After headers!) and adds support for retrying generators (both sync and async):

For the time being, PreMiD Presence Stats is now broken due to the API not giving the user count stats for each presence.
While I'm not sure if anyone still uses it and I won't be back to PreMiD in the near future, I will try fixing it, or throw the towel if I can't.
For the note, PreMiD Presence Stats is a project of my Mini HTMLs to see various PreMiD stats. Check it out (maybe later after it is fixed) on

This looks very useful but I‘m reluctant to share this. Every computer tip that is just „open an admin terminal and enter this command that executes stuff right from a github URL“ is dangerous. Even if that one is OK - it teaches people that this kind of thing is not a super red flag for malware exploits. https://toot.communi…
