Add client certificate to Bugwarrior requests
I’ll probably need this again so writing it up: #bugwarrior is an awesome little helper syncing tasks to #taskwarrior (where I use #timewarrior to track hours spent). It connects to various ticket systems like #Redmine, #Jira or #GitLab. Today I had to tweak it a little though, because I have no idea where to put client certificates for Python’s requests lib and my current customer requires that. Any HTTPS request without will fail with status code 400: No required SSL certificate was sent. For this I edited ~/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/bugwarrior/services/gitlab.py line 364 from this: response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, verify=self.verify_ssl, **kwargs) to response…
I like eye-candy for my #WordPress #hCard and for the longest time I did override the generic icon for missing SVGs via CSS. This never fixed the titles thought and after starting to mass non descriptive links all named “website” I started to dig into the code class-relme-domain-icon-map.php of the #IndieWeb plugin. Update: Well fck, the entire svg folder gets replaced on update of the IndieWeb plugin. Good idea to backup additional SVGs so they can be copied back on Update. Proxmox snapshot for the win! Turns out Rel_Me_Domain_Icon_Map does some file system shacking for unknown domains in wp-content/plugins/indieweb/static/svg/ so…
🤓 Painted the button box, added more buttons and the LCD and set it to playing the #BSG DRADIS animation[1] of the Pegasus just for show: Next is wiring everything up (and when that is done finishing the frame for the display) and add decals. Same thing really to see how it feels: #SimPit [1] The Loop was created by David Gian-Cursio (https://www.gian-cursio.net/2016/07/battlestar-pegasus-dradis-screens/) for Diaspora: Shattered Armistice (a total conversion for the FreeSpace Open engine).
Kids got to pick movies yesterday. Beside one of the Dragons movies (again 😩 ) they surprisingly settled on #Nimona. That was surprisingly a lot of fun and I really dig the art style and that totally weird combination of a self isolating medieval town set in a Sci-Fi setting. Which… you know… kinda totally nails two of my interests 🤓 Would watch again 👌
Blocksizes in the wild
Who bought a bunch of used Seagate Constellation SAS drives and didn’t check for their block-size of 520 not supported by the old hardware raid controller? Yes, me. Who got a dirty cheap LSI SAS 9200-8E controller with pass-through just to fix that? Yes, also me. That’ll take a while 🤪
Heh, 3rd time I used the #eBike to bring the little one to the day nanny. The new child seat works great. It’s a different model that is strapped on the rack and not to the frame itself like the old child seat. The old one was sadly not compatible with the higher rack of the new[1] eBike. Ah well. I need exactly the same time like with the car but at the same time I get some workout done and really do not need a coffee afterwards any more. Win win 😁 [1] Got a good deal on a…
Behold my latest #simPit addition 🤪 A button box | switch panel for the toddler. It was on a discount so I gave in. May be a good starting point for a bigger one that I’m going to make for the kids eventually.
