If you can't login using the Lastpass CLI tool and it just says "unknown" when you enter your password, there's [a simple fix](https://github.com/lastpass/lastpass-cli/issues/604). Go to My Vault -> Account Settings. In there, press "Show Advanced Settings". Then set "Password Iterations" to 100100 and follow the procedure. After that, the CLI tool will work again!
What is "the scholarly record"? There is some work on this already.
My backup application, django-caretaker, has to reload the SQLite database after it has run the import procedure. Basically, we're using an external tool to recreate (delete and replace) the original SQL file on disk. But Django won't always reload this. There are three "gotchas" for how to handle this. The first is that you need a reload function.
There are several tutorials out there on how to get Django apps dockerized and deployed onto AWS Fargate.
Last weekend I converted my website hosting to an infrastructure-as-code solution. It's no big deal, I thought. It's just a static site so it must be really easy to provision this. Surely just some kind of AWS S3 bucket associated with a custom domain? I mean, generated static sites are great. They are fast, lightweight, and virtually un-hackable. Surely it must be easy to deploy this?
I don't normally do this kind of direct outreach, but the situation for people with serious immune system compromise at the moment in the UK is grim. We cannot produce responses to the covid vaccines and so remain shielding/in total isolation.
It should be an easy task to resize image uploads in Django, but it turns out to be a bit more complicated than one would hope. Here are my findings.
Evusheld is a combination of two long-acting antibodies (tixagevimab and cilgavimab). It's a drug designed to protect clinically vulnerable people against Covid in cases where vaccines don't work.
I had a setup of deluge running on a remote box as a daemon. I had verified the credentials were all OK, the port forwarding was setup, the daemon was running and listening. But I couldn't connect remotely. CHECK THE VERSION OF DELUGED THAT YOU ARE RUNNING! If you are running deluged 1.3.x and trying to connect with deluge 2.x, it will report that the remote server is not running.
OK, this is different from my usual fare, but I've been thinking about upgrading my home LAN to 10GbE. My WAN connection is now more than 1Gbit and so I'm maxxing out the link. Finding kit that works on Linux (and even, shudder, FreeBSD), though, is somewhat tricky.
These are my notes on Smits, Robert-Jan, and Rachael Pells, _Plan S for Shock_ (London: Ubiquity Press, 2022) , originally taken on Twitter. They just constitute thoughts I had while reading the book, as opposed to any form of structural review. I must say that the ToC has raised my hackles a little already. "Know when it is done; plan an exit". We're far from done. I've been working on this for well over a decade.
