Publishing rhythm
Today I ran into an interesting question, why am I being asked to configure
tzdata while installing npm. Turns out that the aptitude cli has a why
command that very handily nails down why you have something installed on a
debian based system.
Install aptitude #
apt install aptitude
Why tzdata #
Now we can query why we need tzdata and see the full chain with the root
package being npm.
root@47685221fb82:/# aptitude why tzdata
i npm Depends node-gyp
i A node-gyp Depends gyp (>= 0.1+20200513gitcaa6002)
i A gyp Depends python3:any
i A python3 Provides python3:any
i A python3 Depends python3.12 (>= 3.12.3-0~)
i A python3.12 Depends tzdata
Today I ran into this interactive prompt on ubuntu while installing node and npm, and I do not want to manually configure this interactively every time I run an install, moreso in docker I do not have the interactive terminal to do so.
Configuring tzdata
------------------
Please select the geographic area in which you live. Subsequent configuration questions will narrow this down by presenting a list of cities, representing the time zones in which they are located.
1. Africa 2. America 3. Antarctica 4. Arctic 5. Asia 6. Atlantic 7. Australia 8. Europe 9. Indian 10. Pacific 11. Etc 12. Legacy
Geographic area:
Why tzdata #
Checking aptitude why tzdata it shows that the chain goes back through npm.
root@47685221fb82:/# aptitude why tzdata
i npm Depends node-gyp
i A node-gyp Depends gyp (>= 0.1+20200513gitcaa6002)
i A gyp Depends python3:any
i A python3 Provides python3:any
i A python3 Depends python3.12 (>= 3.12.3-0~)
i A python3.12 Depends tzdata
The solution, configure tzdata #
export TZ="America/Chicago"
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
apt update
apt install tzdata -y
ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TZ /etc/localtime
dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive tzdata
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
This is required, because apt installing tzdata will trigger the
interactive prompt. You will manually configure it in the next two steps.

Big fan of Primes setup. I was not far off of his setup before he really came on the scene, but I’ve picked up a ton of nuggets from him and how he operates. I took his first developer productivity course on Front End Masters as it came out.
It is interesting to see him roll back his ansible scripts for bash scripts here. I converted my setup to ansible after watching his first, but have also since rolled back to bash scripts for quite similar reasons. Ansible is great for remote tasks that need to be done on a fleet of machines, but like he says here overkill for this purpose and ends up something that you need to read the docs for every change to your dotfiles.
Unlike prime I’ve really leaned harder on installing everything in a docker image and developing out of a docker image. I’ve long built docker images of my dotfiles with the idea that its nice to be able to just use them on other machines, but it rarely happened.
In the past year I’ve moved bazzite, an immutable distro. It comes with podman and distrobox, so I install very little on it, a few flatpaks from the store for brave and signal, but most of what I really use day to day comes from my devtainer. It’s nice t...

Today I learned about the basic calculator, bc. At the very end of this video prime uses it to add numbers in vim.
REPL #
You can start a calculator repl at the command line, by running bc.
Vim #
Since bc supports standard unix pipes you can easily pipe data from vim into bc
and back out using !!bc. All you need is a string of math on the line you
want to calculate, go to normal mode and run !!bc to get the answer.
Traditionally I will open my system calculator or ipython to do something like this.
To keep the equation and the result in the same line you can send the equation to stderr and the result to stdout using tee.

Migrating from kedro 0.18.4 to the latest version involves handling the deprecated OmegaConf loader. Switching over does not look as bad as I originally thought.
- installing kedro 0.18.5+
- set the CONFIG_LOADER_CLASS in settings.py
- swap out import statements
- config must be yaml or json
- getting values from config must be done with bracket __getattr__ style not with .get
- any Exceptions caught from Templated config loader will need to be swapped to OmegaConfig exceptions, similar to #3
- templated values must lead with an _
- Globals are handled different
- OmegaConfig does not support jinja2 sytax, but rather a ${variable} syntax

Prime mentioned on stream that Whites were his favorite switch. I tend to like lighter switches and want to give it a try. I really like my Durock lupine’s at 55g, the box whites are 45g, that feels like it would take quite a bit more control, floating over the keys.

Make MinIO Access Key
Today in my homelab [1] I wanted to setup a new service that needed a MinIO access
key. So I created a new user and a new access key with the MinIO CLI rather
than poking through the ui like I have before.
[2]
Global Level vs User Level # [3]
The MinIO CLI has two levels of access, global and user level. Most of the
commands in this post will have several ways to do similar tasks that would
potentially work. We are going to prefer to use the user level commands for
more control. For some commands such as listing Keys it is handy to use the
global level.
The Policy # [4]
First we are going to make a new policy file named mypages_rw_policy.json.
