Today I learned about `plistlib` on Python 3, and used it to easily get the dimensions of a file using its metadata:

GumroadBoost Your Git DX🚀 Updated January 25th 2025—see update blog post.This book covers the best command line Git tools, techniques, tips, tricks, and tactical tidbits I’ve encountered from over a decade of using Git. The selection reflects my preferences for well-maintained tools that provide high value with little need for customization.Note that this book is not an introduction to Git and assumes that you’re already using Git on a daily basis. It offers ways to improve your developer experience with Git that ultimately help you code faster.Free sampleDownload the free sample to read the introduction and first three chapters.ContentsThe book contains 20 chapters. Below is a brief summary of the contents. See the latest update post for a full table of contents and links to sample content. IntroductionOpening notes, a description of the included examples, acknowledgements, and changelog. Global configurationGit's configuration files, basic options to configure, backing up configuration files in a repository. AliasesShorten Git commands with both shell and Git aliases. Shell configurationImprove your shell experience with oh-my-zsh and Starship. Shell toolsThree tools that integrate with Git: Less, delta, and ripgrep. Repository configurationImprovements for per-repository configuration: default branch naming and Git ignore files. Hooks and the pre-commit frameworkExtend Git with the pre-commit framework and related hooks. Command commonalitiesOptions and data types common to all or many Git commands. init and cloneTips for starting repositories, both new and cloned. branch and switchManage branches and switch around to commits. status and diffMake checking status easier and improve the diffs that Git generates. add and restoreLearn how to add changes with precision and undo/un-add them with “git restore”. commit and resetCommit faster and carefully undo commits with “git reset”. stash and applyTwo commands for handling changes outside of the regular workflow. push and pullMake pushing and pulling branches a little bit smoother. merge and rebaseImprove how merging and rebasing works. log and reflogFind details from the commit log with precision and undo destructive actions with the reflog. blame and bisectTrack who changed what when with blame and use bisect to track down problem commits. worktreeWork on multiple branches at once with worktrees.

#TIL (and wish I hadn't) that in #x86-land there are at least 11 different documented #NOP instructions, all different lengths, so you can use them as padding to align loops, that NOP in 64 bit mode behaves differently to NOP in 32 bit mode, and that there's an instruction for a floating point NOP. #Linux has a subroutine #optimize_nops.

Filled with #TIL for casual video format and storage nerds like myself who passed through the vhs to dvd transition without paying much attention.
Stories on the evolution of progress, where newer leaves behind better, are perennially interesting. I think it happens far more often than we care to acknowledge.
Thanks @ernie

#TIL about Pinchflat, a self-hosted app to download YouTube playlists and channels and turn them into audio (or video) RSS feeds for your podcatcher.
https://github.com/kieraneglin/pinchflat
I used podsync for this until now, but Pinchflat comes with a nice interface (vs just a config file) and some more nice features!

#TIL: #RaspberryPi5 doesn't support #WakeOnLAN 
https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=361644
So how am I supposed to reduce power consumption when not using our #LibreELEC setup on #RPi? 
I do have Shelly Plug S available but I guess that I'd need a remote shutdown command before turning off power. Furthermore: how do I enable auto-boot when power resumes?
Any ideas?

Another #TIL: the ol' Target Disk Mode is kinda still around, via USB-C and Thunderbolt. Power off the source Mac, connect 'em, hold down source Mac's power button til you get startup options, then a menu item exists for "Share Disk…”.
Pretty nice way to copy stuff off an older system w/o worrying about having it online for dueling syncing app problems, or what have you.
#til #dinosaurs had a much more efficient respiratory system than mammals (then and now) have. Mammals breathe in and out alternately through the same hole. In between, oxygen had to be transferred to the blood and CO2 from the blood and then the blood carries the gases all around. The dinosaurs had air sacs throughout their body, even in their bones. Dinosaurs were full of air. O2 could reach all parts of their body faster than by blood. They were very energetic, and ran hot. (1/2)
