For the past two weeks I’ve been getting out of the iCloud ecosystem. Docs, passwords and photos are migrated to owncloud and the first backup is doing its thing. Will take a while though πŸ˜„ Might order a Fairphone tomorrow.. we’ll see!

Recap EuroPython 2025 EuroPython is a full week dedicated to all things Python. This year the conference ran from 14–20 July in historic Prague.\nMy first EuroPython This was my very first EuroPython. Right after picking up the badge, you’re welcomed by a table full of stickers to customize it β€” interests, working groups, and even a β€œfirst EuroPython” tag. It was fun to see such a mix of long-time regulars and newcomers like myself.\n

My colleague Victor wrote a blog on his first EuroPython experience!

I think it’s safe to say this wasn’t his last EuroPython 🐍(and I think he will also be attending @pycon-nl.bsky.social next month!)

Final couple of hours before heading back to The Netherlands. It’s been great being in Pittsburgh! Met a lot of cool people and learned a ton of new things. My first #PyConUS has been amazing and I look forward to future editions 🐍

Had a great time at #FlaskCon that was being held during #PyConUS!

Some of the projects that I’m really proud of are built with Flask. It’s still my go-to framework when the choice is mine

I love it when they put effort in these little play corners for little children. Makes waiting easier for everyone!

Good morning world! This weekend I’ve started, besides my regular gym workouts, with a calisthenics regime.

My. Body. Hurts. Enough room for improvement πŸ₯²πŸ’ͺ

@marcolangbroek.bsky.social Hi! Any idea what could have reentered over NL at 4:44 this morning? Looked pretty cool, especially since we had clear skies. First a single big chunk, 15 seconds later something broke off and it disintegrated some 30 seconds after that

Other changes; improved caching and updates to libraries used in the project.

New to the API? Get started here: spaceflightnewsapi.net

I’m happy to announce the release of the Spaceflight News API v4.18! This release adds a number of things, most notably the addition of a new β€œauthors” field. Social links for the authors will be added in the coming weeks!

I always tell people I would be a baker if I wouldn’t be in IT/software. Last night they found out I’m not joking - really happy with the dessert I made!
