@cosullivan Oh nice!I started my year with continuing to read the Discworld series. Currently rereading Moving Pictures.I'm also reading a chapter or two of the Pragmatic Programmer 20th anniversary edition each day as well.

@cosullivan Is Automating the Boring Stuff one of those books? I have the free HTML version bookmarked on my browser and plan on using that to finally learn Python properly.I read books on the Kindle, so I don't have a physical bookshelf. I do want to pick up one new fantasy series this year, and finish at least 4 more Malazan books.

@cosullivan Malazan is an epic fantasy with so many threads, races, magic systems etc. Definitely not a light read.You should try Moving Pictures some time if you enjoy humour/satire.

@stux I'm writing an ansible role to install Baikal DAV server. Just got done with the CentOS/Yum way. I'll probably do Ubuntu tomorrow.I'm using this as a way to learn writing ansible roles with functional tests and such.

So I finally got Baikal installing on Ubuntu with an ansible role. But then, I broke the CentOS version of the role. :PNow to fix that. Then, it's code clean up time!

I realised I didn't do an #introduction after moving here.I'm an almost 33 year old South Asian who writes code for a living.I enjoy pro-wrestling, heavy metal, cooking, reading, making puns, making acquaintances all around the world etc.I don't trust governments, irrespective of whether I voted them in or not.

I want this.I send articles I want to read to a book marking service. I get back one mobi file every week that I can then read on my Kindle.Does a service like that already exist or would I have to create something like that myself?#foss #software

One of the instances #onhere looks like the textbook definition of scam. And they behave like they invented mastodon.I don't care if you know who I'm talking about and bring it to their attention.

I may never pluck guavas from the tree behind our apartment if it means I can see these folks every day.
