The links to French resources are in a separate post.

Python. Through the package ecosystem survey organized this month, I noticed the WheelNext project to “reinvent the wheel”, aka improve the packaging experience in Python. This was discovered releasing new packages for secretsmith, to query Vault and OpenBao, configurable by a YAML file, and a new release of merge-dictionaries.

Rust, ORM. During migration from Rocket to axum, I’ve notivced a community shift of some projects from Diesel to SeaORM. That project also offers Seaography, a GraphQL framework and a way to create dashboards or admin panel easily with SeaORM and React as front-end (“SeaORM Pro“, open source too, the Pro is for the professional look n feel of the dashboards).

Diagrams. If you use a JetBrains IDE, did you visit the preferences page for MarkDown? It speaks about PlantUML, an alternative to Mermaid to create diagrams.

Web design. Spark is a GitHub experiment to create sites from a conversation with a LLM. What’s interesting is this system prompt, a condensed manual of good practices of design. This prompt seems to work well be with other LLM too, but accessibility can be a disaster.

LDAP. Nasqueron would like to implement a LDAP server as part of an identity provider. We seek help for a Keycloak deployment. During brainstorming for that project, a LDAP server seems to gain traction over OpenLDAP, 389 Directory Server.

Digital arts. During a retrospective exposition at iMAL was exposed tarots cards from Suzanne Treister, HEXEN 2.0, drawn between 2009 and 2011.

The secret life of data. Code Galaxies is a visualization of packages dependencies for programming languages or OSes.

Movies. Watched Sirat, a quest in the desert in a low-key post-apocalyptic world.
