Generate Git Timesheet from Commit Logs

I hate time tracking. Seriously. Most time tracking tools require you to remember to start timers, categorize work, and generally interrupt your flow to feed some system that’s probably going to be wrong anyway. But when you’re freelancing or need to report hours on projects, you’re stuck with it.

So I built a Python tool that generates timesheets from git commit history - because your commits are already there, they’re timestamped, and they actually reflect when you were working on stuff.

I’ve got several Python and TypeScript projects scattered around that need constant dependency babysitting. Dependabot does a decent job but keeps missing Python pip security issues that pip-audit catches. The problem is pip-audit wants everything pinned to exact versions, but I prefer flexible >= constraints in my requirements files.

After getting tired of manually running security audits and then forgetting about them for months, I built this GitHub Actions workflow to handle it automatically. You can see it in action on my Shiny Quiz repository and Django demo application.

Introducing oneworldsync

A Python Module for 1WorldSync Content1 API Access

I’m pleased to introduce a Python module I’ve developed from scratch called oneworldsync. For those who need to programmatically access product content data from the 1WorldSync Content1 API, finding a streamlined solution was challenging to say the least. The only path provided was a very simple Python example, some older PDF documentation and a reference Java SDK. I work primarily in the Machine Learning space so Python first was a priority. Those were my primary motivations behind creating oneworldsync as I stumbled towards building a library.

My super lean Proxmox 8.3 testbed cluster running Ceph occasionally just decides to lockup a node based on it being incredibly limited on RAM and CPU. As much as I hate rebooting Linux/UNIX systems, this is a case where a nightly reboot of the nodes might help with reliability.
