git.legoktm.com is now open for hosting free software projects, providing git hosting, issue trackers, and basic wiki functionality. It runs the free software Gogs: "a painless self-hosted Git service". You're welcome to host any freely licensed projects on git.legoktm.com. I've been running git.legoktm.com for two years now, mainly using it…
Your IRC channel can only be considered diverse once you have members whose nicks start with every letter of the alphabet.
So now matrix.org requires you to confirm that you're over 16 before you can use it. I hope this doesn't become the new reality - I got started on IRC a few years before I turned 16. :|I couldn't find any age requirement for freenode (https://freenode.net/policies).Oh, and Slack also requires…
Today I found a legitimate use for https://github.com/danielquinn/python-phpPython's default ConfigParser requires each ini file to have a [section]. PHP doesn't, so to read a PHP-formatted INI file in Python requires some kind of custom parser (maybe it would be possible to extend ConfigParser?), where the python-php project came in handy.…
I've recently been using SQLAlchemy's ORM for a Python web app I'm developing. I really like the idea of declaring tables using a class, which provides you with an object class too.For querying, I'm still a bit undecided. I like .filter_by(), .first(), and .all(), but I'm worried that losing visibility…

I released clover-diff 1.1.2 today: https://gitlab.com/legoktm/clover-diff Support for PHPUnit clover.xml files if all the classes are in the same namespace. A proper test suite! More to come soon. I hope.
The 2018 spring semester started last Wednesday. I think I've set up a pretty good free software toolkit for a successful year: Operating system: Fedora - latest software with stable releases Browser: Firefox - what else? :-) Note that our school and most California universities and colleges have adopted the…
Saying that the install process is intentionally bad so you don't get poorly written bug reports from non-technical users is a terrible excuse. Free software needs to be accessible and usable by all.
After nearly three years of adventures, my laptop is heading back to Lenovo for some repairs. Come back in one piece please!
Over the weekend I migrated legoktm.com and associated services over to a new server. It's powered by Debian Jessie instead of the slowly aging Ubuntu Trusty. Most services were migrated with no downtime by rsync'ing content over and the updating DNS. Only git.legoktm.com had some downtime due to needing to…
Software Freedom Conservancy is a pretty awesome non-profit that does some great stuff. They currently have a fundraising match going on, that was recently extended for another week. If you're able to, I think it's worthwhile to support their organization and mission. I just renewed my membership.
My Fedora stickers came in the mail today ^.^ Finally covered up that ugly Windows key with a beautiful "f". Thanks Unix Stickers!
I now literally have freedom in my wallet. Thanks FSF for the copy of GNU/Linux!
My career exists entirely because I could read, share, and improve free software. Thanks for everything. #ilovefs
