Them: Any plans for the new year?
Me: I going to get some new glasses.
Them: And after that?
Me: After that, we’ll see.

I'm doing #AdventOfCode in Kotlin this year, we'll see how far I'll get, this December looks busy again.

here's what I would love: an SD card image I can flash and put in a pi that turns it into a demoscene jukebox where it just runs thru random "best of" playlists forever, maybe some minimal controls for skipping around
here's my understanding of why that won't work: most demoscene works target x86 windows specifically so ARM linux is incompatible for multiple reasons
here's a cheesy workaround I don't want to do: yt-dlp some playlists resulting in many many gigabytes of video files; this just feels wasteful and antithetical to everything the demoscene stands for
here's a potential workaround: instead of a pi, run it on an old thinkpad running linux? would wine cut the mustard on this or are demos typically more exacting than it can achieve? is it realistic to accomplish this without involving windows at all? (I know I could if we were talking about emulating C64 or amiga or whatever but I want 4k stuff too) does this exist?

Been playing with k3s since last night. I now have an irc bouncer (quassel) running on my (single node) cluster.

OK, so I've been a happy ansible user for many, many years for my personal infrastructure.
I know ansible 5 is kinda old, but it still worked (seems to work with Python up to 3.11). But my Arch box now has 3.12 and it won't work.
So here's a little yak shaving adventure:
- Do I have nix-pkgs installed? No
- Ah, my Debian WSL box has 3.11, so I can sync the files over and provision a box, fine, but I don't love this
- Can I run ansible in a python:3.11 docker container? Yeah, but to avoid some copying I read e.g. $HOME/.ssh/id_....pub for authorized_keys
- Let's try ansible 11, how incompatible can it be?
- I'm giving up after 7 tries because "include: otherplaybook.yaml" seems to be very different and I hate all the errors it's giving me
It's been a good run, maybe I should just find another tool.

Signed up for bsky to try something out and the only interesting account so far is "Bodega Cats". Default experience does feel very Twitter-y before becoming shitty.

Not sure if VS Code has always been this stupid or it's a regression or if I am holding it wrong.
So my setup is Windows PC, connected to a local Linux box and the generally awesome Remote-SSH plugin. I do have to type in my SSH key's password every time I connect.
So when I put the windows pc to sleep, of course the connection breaks. (Let's ignore any sleep I might trigger that's less than the SSH timeout)
Up until a while ago it just popped up the password dialog, I entered my password and could continue, but recently there's always been a popup saying I need to "Reload the window" and then need to type the password again.
Bonus nitpick: if I am already connected and switch folders, it wants to reconnect, although I can choose the folder already, so it can't be somehow scoped to the current directory. This also happens on initial connection, so I go F1 -> Remote SSH to HOST, it connects, password dialog, then I need to choose the dir (which works) but then it needs to reconnect to load it. Meh.

I'm so angry I wrote some C code.
