Just curious. Why should dynadot be avoid?
I use infomaniak email with a custom domain. Is around 2 USD per user with unlimited storage. The web UI has an email import tool that works with Gmail. You get a manager UI to manage accounts and settings (sometimes a bit confusing, but works).
After checking many providers, this was the best alternative for me. I hope that helps.
D2 (d2lang) Python Wrapper
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/48031022
Hi,
I wanted to use d2 in an environment where I could only install python and npm packages.
Given that, and that I could not find any other solution, I made d2-python-wrapper, a small python wrapper that bundles the d2 binaries.
Now you can use d2 from python like this:
pythonfrom d2_python import D2 d2 = D2() # Simple diagram with open("test.d2", "w") as f: f.write("x -> y") # Default SVG output d2.render("test.d2", "output.svg") # PDF output with specific theme d2.render("test.d2", "output.pdf", format="pdf", theme="1")The class just wraps the bin, so it works and supports the same as the bin. There is a GitHub Action that gets the bins for each platform (mac, win, linux) from the releases in this repo and publishes it to pip.
You can install this using
shellpip install d2-python-wrapper

How to install Tailscale in a Proxmox 8.2 LXC Container
I recently needed to set up Tailscale in an AlmaLinux 9 LXC container running on my Proxmox 8.2 server. Following the official instructions from Tailscale's RHEL 9 guide and even trying their Linux install script, I ran into some issues. The main problem turned out to be missing TUN device support in the LXC container.
I had to edit the LXC container configuration on the Proxmox host:
undefined
nano /etc/pve/lxc/<container-id>.conf
And add these lines:
undefined
lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 10:200 rwm lxc.mount.entry: /dev/net/tun dev/net/tun none bind,create=file
Here is the article in case is useful for someone else.
I use Nikola and it hasn't let me down. It just works and supports all the ways I write content: markdown, asciidoc, rest, Jupiter Notebooks, html and so on. It does not have so many themes, but the default one works and it's not hard to customise if needed. If you like to use python it's also easy to extend. I've written a bit about Nikola here in case it picks your interest.
I've deployed it to CloudFlare pages, but GitHub pages, Gitlab pages and any other provider also work.
Ok. Thank you for the explanation!
I'm just now thinking out los here, but would it make sense to use a PowerShell script to silently install miniconda and create a venv with a specific version?
Something like
powershell
@echo off REM Download Miniconda installer (replace URL with the latest version) powershell -Command "Invoke-WebRequest https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe -OutFile miniconda.exe" REM Install Miniconda silently start /wait "" miniconda.exe /InstallationType=JustMe /RegisterPython=0 /S /D=%UserProfile%\Miniconda3 REM Create a new environment with the specific Python version call %UserProfile%\Miniconda3\Scripts\activate.bat call conda create -y -n py39 python=3.9 REM Optional: Set permissions for multi-user access icacls %UserProfile%\Miniconda3 /grant:r Users:(OI)(CI)F /T
More on that here https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/silent-mode/
Again, this is just an idea, but if this works then you won't have a problem anymore (maybe?).
I get your points!
But just out of curiosity, did you try using miniconda to install older python versions? That works wonders for me, also on windows 11.
If you don't need CI/CD I don't see any reasons to choose Gitlab over gitea. But I'm still testing gitea so take my words with a grain of salt :)
At work we selfhost gitlab (paid) and I'm checking gitea for my own projects. They have a good comparison table at https://docs.gitea.com/installation/comparison
Do you also need CI/CD?
Wow. That’s a great idea! Death is Sleep and Exile is You are grounded!
I will elaborate on this when I get to this situations and update the article accordingly.
Hi. Thank you for your feedback!
In the case of 3-years-old I would also recommend removing the creatures with strong graphics. In my case, with my 6-years-old, I remove all the black cards, as they mostly have graphics with death, corruption and destruction.
I didn’t thought of playing memory with MTG. It’s actually interesting 🤔
Hi! Thank you for your feedback! 😋
Hi! I’m aware of Magic Jr. https://magic-jr.com
I checked that but I had the feeling it was to different from the normal game.
In the reddit post someone posted a link to this video,https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/s/ZSzT7xjIWi and its some tu Ing similar or the same (it is also called Magic Junior).
I wanted to keep using the cards I already have instead of creating new one (or printing them from the Magic Jr. website), as I think it will be easier to transition to the full game. Instead of learning new card my daughter will just have to read and understand new parts of the same cards.
I think they are two different approaches with the same goal. I will update the article as soon as I have time to mention this alternative. That way the reader can choose between both alternatives.
Thanks for your feedback! Best,
Diego

Adapt/ simplify MTG rules for Kids
Hi! I wrote an article on my blog about adapting MTG rules for kids and I thought it would be interesting for some parents with small kids who have yet to learn how to read.
To get in context, I have a 6-years-old daughter who wanted to play with me. I tried to teach her some rules but, given that she can’t read yet, was a little hard to explain everything. Then I also realized that she didn’t like some concepts (like graveyard), so I adapted the rules in a way that, I hope, will be easier for her to understand the real rules when she grows up (and that it will be easier for me to explain).
The result is that we have played many times since and we have had fun :)
If you have improvements to the article, such as other rules, I would be happy to read them.
Cheers, and happy game :)

GoatCounter works great, has a free hosted plan and is open source (and you can self-host it). You can export all your data, manage privacy settings, manage users and so on. Made in Go.
I’m happy it helped.
I tried many systems (paperless and it’s derivatives as well) and I found docspell is a lot easier to use and has all the features I need.
That as a summary :)
My only recommendations are
I use docspell and I find it great. I run it on VM on an old microserver running proxmox.
There is also Mayan edms based on Django, but it has to many features for my use case.
My experience with openSuse Tumbleweed has been mostly great so far.
I’ve used linux the last 20+ years (Debian, Ubuntu, manjaro, elementary os, fedora and so on).
For me the best ones so far have been Debian and Ubuntu server edition (for servers), Linux mint and openSuse (for desktop use).
I tried openSuse because I didn’t want to upgrade my system every 6 months (for Ubuntu) nor every many years (for Debian). I like the idea of having a stable main desktop system which I can rely on and it just works. I’m hoping openSuse Tumbleweed is that system.
I’ve used primarily openSuse with KDE on my main machine the last year and I’ve had the folllowing issues:

I’m using this with Nextcloud through WebDAV.
There is a keepass app in Nextcloud to access your keepass database using a web browser (keeweb), keepassXC has a client for Linux, Mac and windows (and all of them work great) and there are many apps for iOS and android.
I use the free version of Strongbox with WebDAV and I haven’t had any problems.
You can just backup the keepass database file and you can also have several databases. Each database has its own password.
