  @miketheman@hachyderm.io I want to nod along with you, but pypi has never had an only OSI blessed licensed packages may be distributed policy. Is there something more public you can point us to. Also, this is woefully incomplete. https://docs.pypi.org/organization-accounts/pricing-and-payments/

  @dabeaz Nicely done. Feels like a sign going back to school is rewarded in all things except your wallet. Today at least.

  I received at least 12 emails (not counting notifications) from our school this week, and of the FIVE I received on Tuesday, I missed one sentence: my oldest is being given an award at 9 am tomorrow. I don't think people realize the wall of noise parents receive PER child PER week. I was already debating giving one of my Clankers it's own email account (read-only) but this is probably going to be what drives me over the edge.

  🤔 I’m happy to see so many good CalVer discussions going on. It inspired me to add `/version.txt` endpoints to a bunch of my projects, along with a few JSON REST endpoints. I already expose the CalVer version in the footer, but this lets me skip parsing HTML and quickly check whether a deploy was successful. Coolify is great, but it’s even better when I can write simple tooling to verify that everything is running the version it should be.

  🔨 Hack of the day. The solution was to take a JPEG of text, convert it to a PDF, then OCR it, rather than OCR'ing the JPEG. 🤷

  RE: https://mstdn.social/@rysiek/116442467501247235 I see this same point made every week on Mastodon. Just saying one last week about a country being 100% sustainable from renewables. The Biden administration brought it up and advanced the US too before it was dismantled by the next administration change.

  🤔 I'm not sure why I never did this sooner, but I started adding a doctor.py script in almost all of my projects. ✨ This can be a Django management command, but commonly a Typer/Click sub-command which does a quick sanity/config check that everything is wired up. 🔥 It has saved me hours while troubleshooting dev and production environments over the last few weeks. ✅ I even noticed our ops starting to use it and post the output as proof of work, which saves everyone time.

  🤔 "Just update DNS" has eaten up 28% of my Claude Code Max plan, and I still haven't gotten to DNS yet. 🍿

  🎮 My 8-year-old has taken to the original(ish) Oregon Trail game after playing it at school. You can play it online from your web browser which is what we are doing from his tablet. https://oregontrail.ws/games/the-oregon-trail/ I played the original Apple IIe versions back in grade school in 3rd or 4th grade.

  🎉 Kudos to @d for spearheading this initiative and to our Django CoC WG members. It took a little over a year, but the lion's share of the work was over the last six months. 👏 Great job! https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2026/apr/15/contributor-covenant-adoption/

  @samuelcolvin @hynek @carlton 👀 Thank you for sharing this. To be clear, I'm not a VC skeptic if you were implying. My point in our thread earlier this week was that I don't see a reason to cast stones at one funding model over another if the output is well-funded open-source work.

  So many of you are blogging, that I'm going to have to roll out one of those blogrolls like they did in the 1900s or something. 🥲
