A crate for puppy in c/imadethis@lemm.ee

I actually had to look it up when writing that post, I think I searched for "garden gate lock" at first :)

Offering a crate as a safe and cosy space to relax, sleep, etc. is recommended by the RSPCA (and the Dog Trust, Battersea, and many more).

In normal use it's fitted with a small mattress, vet bed, toys (that I didn't show because I didn't make those myself).

A standard poodle. In that picture he hadn't had his first trim yet, so he's showing gloriously fluffy puppy hair

Since I have a few pictures and you're asking nicely 😃 I opened another post: https://programming.dev/post/25943048

The second thing I mentionned were some shelves that had to fit in a very specific spot, but I don't have pictures to hand

A crate for puppy (infosec.pub)
 

I made a crate for puppy! He keeps outgrowing the ones we bought, so I made a large one out of his playpen panels that should be big enough until he's fully grown.

The floor is a sheet of plywood. I put vinyl wrap on it for waterproofing (turns out it's too fragile, by the time I made the rest I made a couple of tears).

For the top, I made a lip out of PSE wood (I think 25mm), to give more rigidity and allow fitting a hinged top.

Cabin hooks for the door, but they turned out to be too loose, so I added a Brenton bolt.

Puppy likes it, so overall a success!

As a beginner who mostly learned from the University of YouTube, I hear you, it was more involved and messier work than I thought it'd be

We're a couple months later, I ended up doing a second small project, this time I used half tung oil half orang oil, and adjusted my technique: wiped with a clean rag after application, and I think the room was warmer them last time.

Got better results, more even and it didn't take 2+ weeks for the first coat to cure (more like a few days).

Thanks for the advice 🙂

There was a discussion of pathlib a few days ago: https://programming.dev/post/21864360

You clearly have more experience than I do; the only explanation for why my (one) attempt is not going so well is that I had less than ideal conditions. Both temperature and user technique, probably the latter is most to blame!...

It is pure oil, maybe I'm being too impatient then, a month is a long time though!

/u/NataliePortland@lemmy.ca suggested a wipe with solvent, is that the role of orange oil? I think ill try that when I have time in few days

It's inside the house, but this being winter, is not super warm.

I disn't do the two steps apply liberally, wipe the excess a few minutes later. Of well, top late to go back and do that :)

I think I'll try your suggestion when I have time in a few days

Oiled with tung oil,still oily 9 days later (programming.dev)
 

Hi,

Weekend before last (ie Sunday 24th) I applied tung oil to plywood (simply described as "12mm hardwood plywood" by the DIY shop). One week and a bit later, it looks dry to the eye, there is no shiny spot, the wood has a warmer colour, but if I run my fingers on the surface I get a tiny amount of oil.

I applied the oil by pouring a small amount on the surface of the wood then rubbing with an old rag, leaving no pool of oil.

Sunday (the day before yesterday ) I used kitchen towels to try to dry it off. The towels picked up a tiny bit of oil, but evidently not everything.

Is tung oil that slow to dry? Should I wait another week? Can I do something to help the process along? (Sanding or steel wool? Too aggressive for the thin veneer of plywood? Rub with a small amount of white spirit? )

I'm making a crate for Puppy who has outgrown two crates already, I picked the oil that was advertised as food & toy safe without realising how difficult it'd be to apply. In fact that's my most ambitious project to date, I'm really a beginner.

How Did REST Come To Mean The Opposite of REST? | htmx in c/webdev@programming.dev

Well I'm not missing the point then, that's good to know :)

Maybe I'm wildly misunderstanding something, not helped by the fact that I work very little with Web technologies, but...

So, in a RESTful system, you should be able to enter the system through a single URL and, from that point on, all navigation and actions taken within the system should be entirely provided through self-describing hypermedia: through links and forms in HTML, for example. Beyond the entry point, in a proper RESTful system, the API client shouldn’t need any additional information about your API.

This is the source of the incredible flexibility of RESTful systems: since all responses are self describing and encode all the currently available actions available there is no need to worry about, for example, versioning your API! In fact, you don’t even need to document it!

If things change, the hypermedia responses change, and that’s it.

It’s an incredibly flexible and innovative concept for building distributed systems.

Does that mean only humans can interact with a REST system? But then it doesn't really deserve the qualifier of "application programming interface".

ISO-8859-x encodings and invalid bytes (programming.dev)
 

Hi,

I have to interface with systems that use iso-8859-x encoding (not by choice...), and I'm surprised that the following doesn't throw an error:

>>> str(bytes(range(256)), encoding="iso-8859-1", errors="strict")
'\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f\x10\x11\x12\x13\x14\x15\x16\x17\x18\x19\x1a\x1b\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f !"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~\x7f\x80\x81\x82\x83\x84\x85\x86\x87\x88\x89\x8a\x8b\x8c\x8d\x8e\x8f\x90\x91\x92\x93\x94\x95\x96\x97\x98\x99\x9a\x9b\x9c\x9d\x9e\x9f\xa0¡¢£¤¥¦§¨©ª«¬\xad®¯°±²³´µ¶·¸¹º»¼½¾¿ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõö÷øùúûüýþÿ'

Bytes in the 0x80—0x9f range are not valid iso-8859-1, and I was expecting the above to raise a DecodeError of some sort; instead it looks like those are passed through.

I'm perfectly happy with this behaviour, I would like to make sure I can depend on it. Can I take an arbitrary byte buffer, decode as ISO-8859-1, and never get any error? Is it guaranteed to be lossless ?
