TIL today I RTFM!

command

ntfy

Today I read the brief synopsis of ntfy Android. I saw there that via linux the control and operation is fairly simple & straightforward

I went to the site and started reading.

ntfy via linux is easy to use

• simple HTTP PUT/POST commands are used

sh

curl -d "Backup successful 😀" ntfy.sh/mytopic

a.out

ntfy publish mytopic

"Backup successful 😀"

HTML

POST /mytopic HTTP/1.1
Host: ntfy.sh

Backup successful 😀

javascript

fetch('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic', {
    method: 'POST', // PUT works too
    body: 'Backup successful 😀'
})

golang

http.Post("https://ntfy.sh/mytopic", "text/plain",
   strings.NewReader("Backup successful 😀"))

python

requests.post("https://ntfy.sh/mytopic",
    data="Backup successful 😀".encode(encoding='utf-8'))

php

file_get_contents('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic', false, stream_context_create([
    'http' => [
        'method' => 'POST', // PUT also works
        'header' => 'Content-Type: text/plain',
        'content' => 'Backup successful 😀'
    ]
]));

Markdown formatting¶

Supported on Android & webApp

You can format messages using Markdown 🤩. That means you can use bold text, italicized text, links, images, and more. Supported Markdown features (web app only for now):

Emphasis such as bold (bold), italics (italics)
Links (some tool)
Images ()
Code blocks (code blocks) and inline code (inline code)
Headings (# headings, ## headings, etc.)
Lists (- lists, 1. lists, etc.)
Blockquotes (> blockquotes)
Horizontal rules (---)

Matplotlib

It's important to learn to use libraries properly

Use local docs or use online docs , elevate your programming skills
Ever since I learned of the existence of matplotlib I knew I had another nice task set to have fun programming & keep me busy for a nice while

src.py

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
plt.style.use('_mpl-gallery')
# make data
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
y = 4 + 1 * np.sin(2 * x)
x2 = np.linspace(0, 10, 25)
y2 = 4 + 1 * np.sin(2 * x2)
# plot
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x2, y2 + 2.5, 'x', markeredgewidth=2)
ax.plot(x, y, linewidth=2.0)
ax.plot(x2, y2 - 2.5, 'o-', linewidth=2)
ax.set(xlim=(0, 8), xticks=np.arange(1, 8),
       ylim=(0, 8), yticks=np.arange(1, 8))
plt.show()

A gorgeous mathematical function is plotted when you run the program. I don't want to make screencaps now, use the link to see the output I got.
I use the featherweight geany on the SBC Pi5, you choose which IDE you like.
Yes vim is a superb source code editor. The syntax highlighting is sublime!

Sooo, remember my most boosted post of #wrapstodon 2025?

I'm still unemployed, now facing moving out of France by the end of April.

Recap: jack of all trades #Linux sysadmin, with broad, 10y+ experience in system and applications administration. Preferred location would be #Strasbourg or fully remote or as a mentee for #freelance with #ADHD.

Ich würde gerne mal "KI"-Unterstützung beim Schreiben von Python-Scripten ausprobieren, dabei aber ungern auf die großen, bekannten LLMs setzten. Gibt's da etwas, das (zumindest einigermaßen) dem FLOSS-Gedanken folgt und das man unter Linux lokal laufen lassen kann? Und brauchbare Ergebnisse liefert? 🤔

Und schön wär's, wenn's mit VSCodium zusammenspielen würde.

I have a question about Python libraries and testing scope.

If I'm importing 'serial' in my library, and use it like the following to create a connection to a sensor:

--- start code ---

import serial

class Sensor:
def __init__(self, serial_device):

self.__serial_device = serial_device

try:
self.__connection = serial.Serial(
port=serial_device,
baudrate=9600,
bytesize=serial.EIGHTBITS,
parity=serial.PARITY_NONE,
stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_ONE,
)

except serial.SerialException:
print("Could not establish serial connection to sensor")

--- end code ---

how much testing should I do around the serial connection? Just mock up a few buffers (byte streams), and see how my class handles unexpected input?

One the one hand, I want to make the library as solid as possible. On the other hand, I don't want to run tests on code I don't control (the library module). I know of the 'mock-serial' utility, but haven't used it.

The aim is to make a Python version of my Arduino library for the CozIR Ambient CO2 sensor:

Seeking advice for FreeBSD as a daily driver on an ASUS X580VD

Five questions at <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1r9j67j/advice_for_running_freebsd_as_daily_driver_on_an/>, and:

＂… Goals / use-case: - Prefer GNOME (but open to recommendations if another DE/DM is more reliable here) - Intel as primary + NVIDIA for on-demand/offload use (if possible) - Web dev stack: Java, Node/React, Python, Go - Occasional virtualization and Linuxulator for Linux-only tooling. …＂

This took way more time than planned to get working: ESP32 Dev Kit microcontroller programmed from the command-line, using esptool and platformio running in a Python venv.

Well, once I became the person to guess that and I'm simply translating some textures with #Cpp everything is butter smooth again.

Another update of the Pyriodic Backend project:

• methods to update certain HTML tags can be run at different intervals
• added a JSON file backend
• a sprinkle of refactoring

Because everything is written in regular files, the editor can autocomplete citation keys without any special tooling - they are just sections in another file. This kind of interoperability is why simple tools like text files and #ssg are so great.

I'm not a fan of hosting it on GitHub anymore, but there are already links in various places that I can't update, so this is the reasonable thing to do.

- switching between #Zig versions, I liked it more than the dedicated anyzig
- #Python venv activation – it's silly but feels so good, and collaborates with uv
- ensuring I have the right language server and formatter for a project, be it #Lua, #TypeScript, and trying out various options for Python
- setting LANG="C.UTF-8" only in the specific project folder because #Ansible refused to work with Polish...

The final boss was getting a really comfortable Tree-sitter setup: get the #Rust CLI, write grammar in #JavaScript, re-generate and run tests on source change as a mise Task. And then I only cloned the repo on another machine and was ready to go!

This post was written as a more cultured outlet for my excitement instead of aggresively committing mise.toml into every repository I touch

What made me finally try something else than raw pip and venv was easy installing of multiple Python versions. I was completing a PR to a library that (admirably) wants to support the old ones as well. Once I had the tool, I tried it for releasing a new version of my own PyPI package, and I wasn't ready for how fast and convenient it would be.

pipx install nb-clean
nb-clean add-filter --remove-empty-cells --preserve-cell-outputs

I did enjoy the ease of setup of TkInter, and compatibility with Matplotlib, but I was missing the simplicity of immediate mode libraries. In trying to emulate these, now a few callbacks trigger "given this dataclass with state, the widgets should look like this".
The micro-management gremlin is whining that it's repeating useless work, but more importantly the window is complete and I can go on with the experiment.
