The caterpillars are now snoozing in their cocoons. Here's the #timelapse I shot:

@sil Thaumaturgy seems a good choice, several options showing the sort of things you can do

We make podcasts about Linux, open source software, development, systems administration, cloud computing and platform engineering, self-hosting, and loads more topics.

Our podcasts are short and to the point, and there's something for (almost) everyone. We even have a silly show where we answer completely off-topic questions from the audience.

You can learn more at https://latenightlinux.com/ or just search for Late Night Linux wherever you get your podcasts and subscribe to our All Episodes feed.

Episode 56 of Linux Matters: Python A-Go-Go 🐧️🎙️

Alan uses all the models, Mark switches Bookshelf Buddy from Go to Python, and Martin completes his GotoSocial migration.

@andrewt I cant get these to work, the horizontal lines make it too hard to find where to overlap the pattern

@andrewt These are excellent btw, well done!

@andrewt Weirdly I can see two different versions of this, one where the TARDIS is solid and the tunnel is round, another where it's got a gap in the middle and the tunnel's oval. My brain seems to pick one at random. Maybe because I'm viewing on a (small) phone screen?

It's always handy to remember that once a smartphone no longer meets your needs as a daily portable device due to battery degradation or whatever, it's still a powerful compact computer with a high-resolution camera attached.

We have adopted the class caterpillars from my daughter's school for the half term holiday. I've set up an old smartphone with a time lapse app to document their progress

We are looking for a Moodle Developer / Administrator (https://apply.workable.com/moodle/j/5960922473/) to join our global Moodle Academy & Community Sites team.

@james Lock Keeper's Cottages, Old Ford Lock, London E3 2NN. Forever burned into my memory.

@Edent When I went for an A-Level business studies trip, we toured the Staropramen brewery, which was fun!

@feoh @popey When we have milk from the milkman, we still keep it in the fridge. When I was a kid I suppose we got it because *that's what you did*, until supermarkets pushed the price down so it didn't make sense. Now I get it because a) it's more convenient to have a few days' worth at a time and b) it's nicer milk.

@popey We had deliveries when I was little, but stopped before I left home, so I'd say under 30

@martin "Certainly, my hourly rate for ad-hoc support is..."

In March, the state of Utah passed a law[1] restricting which flags could be flown by city councils. This stopped the council of Salt Lake City from flying the pride, trans, and Juneteenth flags.

One of the kinds of flag allowed by the new law is an official city flag. Therefore, Salt Lake City has just introduced three new flags, which are the three flags just mentioned with a sago lily in the corner.[2].

@molly0xfff I almost asked this when I saw your list of books, then I realised if I spent my gaming time reading, I could read that much too. You prioritise what you love :)
