Back to normal work, which is fun, too.

Started a mouse delivery side business. The catching part works great and now I'm looking for new customers. Do you need some mice? I already talked to a bird of prey at a nearby park. Maybe there's an arbitrage opportunity.

Created a new repository holding a template for new Django projects / apps.

Design

• Poster, chuck berry / steve miller band | This whole website is great: all the links, annotations, the emoji timeline (omg)

On the road holding a Python training course. Didn't do much else.

Bugs

• There's an annoying bug making tracebacks unreadable in JupyterLab for me when using `%load_ext rich`. Maybe it's this one?

Recorded and produced a new Podcast Episode about Ansible. Had to learn that streaming 48Khz 24bit FLAC audio to AirPods is too much for the Bluetooth bandwidth. At first, I thought the recording was broken, but then realized it was just a Bluetooth glitch, phew.

Did some preparation for a Python training course next week (setting up a JupyterHub instance, preparing a HedgeDoc installation).  Also, normal work as usual until we got evacuated because of a bomb disposal (a 500kg bomb from the second world war was found a few hundred meters down the street).

Progress on having a landing page where people can create podcasts/blogs:

• Did some infrastructure work to be able to use a Python installation via pyenv on production
• ...

Courses

• Databases - Stanford School of Engineering

Back to work. Picked up my jogging habit after having to stop during covid / vacation and it worked out fine. Made plans to get more into music again (atm just got more hardware).

For the last two weeks, I was on vacation, so no work. Seems my job is to listen to podcasts because there were significantly fewer episodes I listened to. Need to check with my boss 😄.

Had to learn the hard way that shared albums in apple photos are completely broken and will cripple your images (max width or height set to 2048px + conversion from heic to low quality jpeg). And even if you stop following a shared album, those broken images still sit in your library and you have to remove them manually one by one. Great fun if you just imported a few hundred photos from a shared album. I don't understand tech companies'  obsession with destroying their user's photos. Signal is bad, Whatsapp is worse, and now even you Apple? A working method for Apple devices is to generate an iCloud share link (which takes lots of time) from which others then can import the original photos.

Progress on having a landing page where people can create podcasts/blogs:

• Finished Add Email Backend for Registration Mails. This feature uses mailgun which is a pretty crappy service, if you've found a better one, please let me know.
• Add WordPress Ansible Service #28 moved the ansible folder over from podlove_test
• Cleaned up the register link and removed some unused code #30
• Use always _base.html in favor of base.html #31
• Added styled allauth templates #27
