Of course before breakfast, there was some more enjoying the Onsen, then … time to put pants on I guess. It was worth it!

Then back to the room for another bath (or two) and then time to check out of the hotel and go for a wander to the next hotel 😄

Found a park near where the Pirate ship leaves, which was fun to watch…

Flying in from Singapore was pretty chill, JAL premium economy is lovely with wide seats and lots of leg room. Nobody can recline their seat onto yours but it means if you do want to lay back, you lose all your leg room because the seats push forwards. ANYWAY. We landed, customs was quick and then it was time to find some food before we picked up our hire car.

It took me a while to figure out why uv run pytest wouldn’t work - it wasn’t finding my library!

Turns out:

uv uses the presence of a build system to determine if a project contains a package that should be installed in the project virtual environment. If a build system is not defined, uv will not attempt to build or install the project itself, just its dependencies.

I had a weird issue trying to move from Poetry to UV as my package manager for one of my repos. I’ve got ansible-lint in the required packages, running on MacOS, so it shouldn’t complain about will-not-work-on-windows-try-from-wsl-instead because the package isn’t required for MacOS. But uv tries to resolve for everything, so blep.

If on login/access you get an error like this:

I was wondering when I installed Rosetta 2 on my mac, here goes…

After updating my Ubuntu Raspberry Pi node, I had a load of failures, one of which was iscsid failing on startup.

Once upon a time, in the mystical realms of Asgard, there existed a strange and unexpected friendship between Odin, the All-Father, and Frong, a slightly weird frog with a penchant for riddles and mischief.

Odin, known for his wisdom and relentless quest for knowledge, often wandered through the realms in search of hidden truths and forgotten lore. On one such journey, he stumbled upon a peculiar pond nestled in a grove of ancient trees. As he approached, he heard a peculiar croak, unlike any other frog he had encountered.
