I just hope this becomes the law everywhere (or at least, selfishly, in the UK).

This is why people pirate.

Victorian brick houses are all lime based, pointing (mortar between bricks), render outside and internal plaster. (Ours is 140 years old ish).

Lime is also more flexible (these houses have minimal to no foundation and constantly move), it’s breathable (no/less damp) and as such it also improves air quality indoors. It’s annoying to do because drying times are days/weeks not hours, but long run it’s a far superior material for small buildings.

It does burn though if you accidentally get it on your skin!

Spain stone buildings too... common problem modern plaster on those stone walls, folk have forgotten the wall needs to breathe

It wears down quicker than concrete (you can scratch it easily with a nail and minimal pressure). But we’re still talking 50+ years (before repointing brick, in my case). As long as maintained it’ll last forever (our home is 140 years old, I just re-did the pointing, should be good till I die).

Posting it because I just started watching and it’s simultaneously funny and utterly, utterly depressing. Is this really where we’re going?

- https://pyinfra.com - Python infrastructure management, been picking up pace recently trying to keep on top of PRs!

- https://kanmail.io - always plugging away at Kanmail changes, no one uses it really except me but that’s fine :) new site designed by fable blew my mind

- https://verified.fyi - first side project started initially as a vibe coding experiment, but it’s become quite good at sussing out dodgy websites

Reminds me of a similar effect around iPhone releases (https://www.statista.com/chart/2514/iphone-releases/, many others). Can’t say I’ve noticed any change.

more likely there's some pressure on GPU vs CPU compute resources while the AI company tries to scale out a new model, leading to some type of degradation.

Assuming it's not apple like fraud.

Somewhat ironic that the site is completely broken on mobile, the text doesn’t render until you scroll near past it. Production code eh?

Hi Fizzadar,

On the one hand, it is true that the website code was pushed 0 minutes before this announcement went up.

On the other hand, I tested just now on two different phones and didn't see any issues. Can you say in more detail what you expected vs. what actually happened?

There was an occlusion issue on some smaller screens, but it's been fixed now.

Indeed! (I am that original contributor :)), lots of work ongoing to address this, we now have a small maintainers group and are sharing out review and release loads.

Nick, Yes Indeed! I sent you a fanmail Sun, Aug 3, 2025, 11:06 AM PST to your n..fizzadar.com email.

If you're reading this, I'll indulge and reask you the two questions:

- question 1: There's clearly a demand for a "Python as a DSL" for infrastructure projects - CDKTF/Python, CDK/Python, Pulumi, cdk8s etc are very popular. I would have imagined pyinfra to be way more popular and ubiquitous than it really is! Do you have thoughts on why pyinfra isn't more popular? How do people typically discover pyinfra? I would imagine any Python dev would intuitively grab pyinfra over Ansible?

- question 2: Do you have any thoughts about cdk8s? As you know well, Kubernetes has similar YAML "hell," and as someone who spends significant resources on pyinfra, I would guess you have given something like cdk8s thought?

I'm happy to engage either over email or here, don't have a preference.

Again, Thank You for building and sharing pyInfra.
