@jackeric if I’m working in a Docker container (which I usually am) I’ll generally ignore venvs as well and just pass whatever flag it is to say “yeah, yeah, you take no responsibility for my random pip packages”.
@jackeric I’d either use system Python + venv (we do this on production devices at work and it’s *fine*, Trixie is recent enough that we’re not dealing with an ancient version) or use uv for Python environment management.
@benc although there’s a UK standard for parking payments being developed which may help - a somewhat distributed system where any payment app (or other service like a phone number) can be used to pay for any car park. That might then result in people already having something trusted they can use.
@benc regrettably necessary in a world where car park signs are getting rogue QR codes to payment pages which just funnel cash into someone’s bank account. My brother saw a 3D printed QR code on one a while back to try and prevent stickering over it. Can’t help thinking maybe it’s time to give up on QR codes in remote car parks and return to physical machines.
@barnoid @jonathanhogg @thinkl33t printed the nubbins and I’m sure can provide you with the source file.
Found the EMF 2026 Teardown Commemorative Plate while unpacking. Signed by those present on the last night using the pen of conduct (a giant brass biro with surprising momentum).
@kunsi @gsuberland seconded. That set was a perfect end to the weekend, topped by my son’s face as he realised what the final track was and got one last burst of energy despite it being past midnight at the end of a very long weekend!
@hugh I did and it was glorious. Now I’m going to actually go to bed and sleep the sleep of the dead.
@hugh only consensual 2028 planning is taking place. Stepping away and resetting is also incredibly legit behaviour!
I so badly need to sleep but the post-event chat is still going and somehow it feels like once I climb into my normal bed I’m going to wake up in the real world tomorrow and it’ll all be over for another two years. (Except it won’t, because we’re already planning 2028)
Just realised I’ve posted a photo of my keys on the internet. By viewing these toots you agree not to break into my flat.
There are very few upsides to carrying a camping chair with you on a train. Really the only one is being able to set it up in a disabled cubby left empty on an otherwise full service (yes, I will be vacating it immediately if needed).
Finally on the train home from #EMFCamp catching up on the internet and welling up a bit at all the amazing posts from the weekend. It’s an absolute honour to get together every two years and make something so special with a few hundred of the smartest, most creative people I know. I may write a proper blog post soon if only to process some of the thoughts flying around my head.
@red @moraghickman story of my life there, which is how I’ve ended up working in seven different industries (not counting the teenage retail/warehouse jobs)
@thechaoszone @jonty drop me a message in a few weeks, I really want to get more web people onboarded and preferably attached to specific teams.
Almost time to stop my biannual holiday where we cosplay as construction workers (with a brief interruption when a bunch of people rudely invade our peaceful camp site) and it’s really quite beautiful. Down to 30 or so people on site now who’ve spent anything up to three weeks working together to do a crazy thing, the power is gone, and we’re all sat round a single battery powered bulb.
@CatherineFlick I can’t wait for the falling asleep anytime I sit down bit.
@sophie there was folk on Stage D yesterday, but I do somewhat agree when walking round the site, and I love a bit of EDM.
OH at #EMFCamp: “What I’ve not seen is a ride on Henry Hoover”
“I have, did you not see the Henry Hoover tent?”
Anywhere else everyone would have immediately called bullshit but we spent a few minutes debating and were then shown photographic evidence.
My watch just triggered its loudness warning at applause for someone finishing Tetris Effect.
I’m currently standing at the back giggling to myself at how utterly ridiculous this is #EMFCamp
