Woohoo! Second time in less than a week I got all the words in #Quartiles. I’ve got a long streak of getting the 5 big words, but usually give up when I haven’t all of the rest by bed time. Today I finished by 4 o’ clock.

Hey #FOSS friends! 🚴♂️
I just got into biking again as an adult, and I’m loving it!
Now I’m on the hunt for a simple open source app to track how far I ride. Bonus points if it’s on GitHub, if not, at least F-Droid works. If there’s nothing bike-specific, I’m cool with any travel or hiking tracker too.
I use a Pixel 9a with GrapheneOS.
Any recs? Drop ’em here! 🙌

"if donald trump is still president a year from now, LA will still be dealing with troops periodically entering public spaces and generally just shitting on everything for a day, and by then it will basically just be a habit for people to screen their social media and groupchats for advance warning of a need to shelter in place until the moment passes. it’s going to get even less effective for them to be here the longer they keep doing it.

Czy nie jest to absurdalne, gdy rejestracja medyczna cały czas informuje kolejnych ludzi, że muszą mieć nowe skierowanie dla swojego dziecka, bo mają skierowanie do poradni dziecięcej, a tu lekarz formalnie przyjmuje dzieci w poradni dla dorosłych?

If you're trying to do the trick that was shared for #nintendoswitch2 where you can use a USB HDMI capture dongle HDMI to USB-C cable to use your iPhone as a camera - don't use the True Visage app mentioned in the video
That will rely on screen sharing mirroring and you'll potentially get an aspect ratio mismatch and see the dynamic island floating in your view
I'd personally suggest the free "Blackmagic Camera" app instead, and then go to:
Settings->Monitor->HDMI Out
Switch from Mirror Display to Video Feed and it will cleanly output your camera. Works for a Lightning to HDMI out adapter for older phones, too
Then just tap on Lense and FPS and pick which combo you like.
Also, if you're not getting any output signal make sure the capture dongle you're using supports 1080p out - not sure the Switch 2 supports anything higher as camera input

The Python library "YFinance" decided to force an upgrade. They did this by making the old version report a rate-limit error on every request.
Confusing.
Would have been better if they reported a "old version not supported" error or something instead. So that wasted some time.
That upgrade had dependencies which have dependencies upon a newer version of Python, so needed a whole OS upgrade really.
Which failed. Bricking the Rasp PI it was running on.
Oh well, complete rebuild of the whole machine and software it runs from scratch then.
That took all day yesterday. At the end I notice that the touch-screen doesn't touch. Needs drivers.
The drivers haven't been upgraded in six years. They brick the machine again when trying to install them on Debian Trixie.
Luckily, I kept good notes and could rebuild it all again much faster with no mistakes and knowing what to do and all the required custom software changes already made and saved.
So now I spent a whole day on annoying upgrade work because a single Python library decided to break the old version, and my Rasp Pi has no touch-screen. Which isn't ideal for a machine mostly operating as a fancy light switch for all the LED strips in the house.
This happens all the time in software. Millions of man hours wasted, so much hardware dumped because the drivers get abandoned.
In other news: Microsoft abandons Windows 10 any day now. Good luck to everyone faced with doing that lap on the upgrade treadmill.
I still have more work to do to bring up this RaspPi's software to where it was, but it'll have to wait, other things to do. At least it's back to sending me the nightly finance report and controlling the LED strips. If without a touch screen now.
