Not in all traditions. E.g. in Germany Christmas Eve is typically the last day so you only get 24.



And even in the places where it’s 25 days, there’s plenty of advent calendars that only have 12 doors - though they’re typically budget versions of expensive calendars (eg a dram of whisky behind each door)


Falsehoods programmers believe about time #604: all advent calendars have 25 slots


Yeah, in Sweden too.


Norway, too.


Winter Solstice is usually (not always) on 21th December.


Sometimes on 23nd?


Ah interesting. TIL.


This is linked right in the article: https://www.axios.com/2025/03/23/allies-issue-usa-travel-gui...

In it you’ll find several direct links to the official warnings


>The U.K. government's "foreign travel advice" page for the U.S. warns travelers to "comply with all entry, visa and other conditions of entry."

Oh my god it's like Nazi Germany!

Ooo nice. Thanks.


I love the name Altstore PAL for the app only usable in Europe.


You can directly hash the code using inspect: https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html#inspect.getso...

And do something similar for the arguments (maybe pickling to get a bytes object you can hash without relying on specific types). Using just the hash function could come with footguns for mutable objects


Well, sort of. The original downtime was caused by the reverse proxy dying for no apparent reason. This state could be detected by healthchecks. However the quick solution after the second time the container went away while on holiday was to use ‚restart: unless-stopped‘ and I could see a case where the container was down 90% of the time but just-so-happend to be freshly restarted while the healthchecks were looking.

That’s why I decided to use the docker API’s /events endpoint to get notified about all changes. Using dockers healthcheck features you can even monitor the availability of the http server with this solution as well. I did not find a project that went the same route.

The downside to this approach of course is, that if docker goes down you won’t get notified, also if you just use curl inside the container for healthchecks, you won’t notice external network problems. So something that is hosted on the outside like healthchecks.io is a great addition.


Thanks, appreciate it. It was a fun exercise and if you end up with a tool that you and hopefully others can use even better.


Wow that’s expensive. If you are willing to get away from those highly dynamic providers and commit for a month or a year (which seems reasonable for that sort of thing) I currently rent a VPS at strato [1] with 1.5TB SSD/8 cores&16GB Ram guaranteed for 15€/month inkl an ipv4 and a TLD

You can run any command in the shell by prefixing them with ! In the jupyter cell. However I don‘t think jupyter notebooks are super useful for that usecase as you can’t simply double click to open them


You can double click to open them! I have it working on my computer, I’m not exactly sure how I did it but it was something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54489884


Well my dog is called Lizzy. That’s apparently close enough. The first times I freaked out a bit when a voice answered to something I said to my dog when I was alone at home
