🥳 New Kitten¹ Release
• Fixed: Errors in a project’s _main.script.js_ now cause a hard crash without retry attempts. The errors are also now better classified and communicated.
• Housekeeping: Removed unmaintained dev dependency, updated supported ES versions to esnext and simplified jsconfig.json.

My ubuntu had another very bad wake up from suspension. Could barely get the login to present. typing was mega slow. Mouse barely moved. Did manage to open the UI to restart the machine this time.
After restart I used claude to see if it could find the reason. It found a USB device (my external cd drive) that was spamming errors. I could see the errors stop when I unplugged it.
How embarrassing for ubuntu that it lets those errors grind the system to a halt.

For a few weeks I had some strange errors with my self-hosted webmail, Snappymail. After working for some time it complained that it couldn't connect to tcp://mydomain.tld:143. My email clients worked, though. The situation got worse a few days ago when I updated the server and rebooted it.
My webmail is hosted in a systemd-nspawn system container. I use such containers for a lot of different services.
For debugging purposes I tried some telnet and openssl s_client stuff toda…

python -c "import this"
The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.…

Like…if we are concerned about humanity, if we believe that lives matter, then this war is an absolute horror, just a terrible mistake in every moral and ethical sense, period.
But if we are only concerned about the battle of nation-states in some cold-blooded realpolitik frame of mind…then this is •still• a terrible mistake, one of the greatest unforced errors of statecraft in modern history.
