A blog by Michał “Butla” Bultrowicz

It’s yet another Python / development / technical blog.

There are many like it, but this one’s mine!

Here is a list of most recent posts:

• 2021-09-06 - Manjaro tutorial - moving an install and encrypting it

  I’ve put a tweaked version of my previous post (Moving a Linux installation to a new drive and encrypting it) up on Manjaro forums as a tutorial. You can check it out here.

• 2021-08-28 - Moving a Linux installation to a new drive and encrypting it

  I needed to change out the drive in my light laptop for a bigger one. Of course I didn’t want the hassle of OS reinstallation 1, so I decided to move my Manjaro installation from the drive to the other. My install was, regrettably, unencrypted 2 - I wanted to fix that during the move.

• 2021-03-31 - Some shell functions for working with Python virtualenvs

  Finally doing some scripting today. I noticed that there are some python-virtualenv-related commands I run often (in my tmux-based “IDE”), so I automated them away to shave off some keystrokes.

• 2020-04-26 - Say it with style in CLI

  So I glued some awesome software together into a shell one-liner and now I can make my announcements with a rainbow tortoise on the CLI :)

• 2020-02-18 - Universal app reload with entr

  A useful feature many web frameworks have is auto-reload. Your app is running in the background, you change the code, and the app is restarted with those changes, so you can try them out immediately. What if you wanted that behavior for everything that you’re writing? And without any coding to implement it over and over in every little project?
