It's my birthday (🎉), so I made you all a gift! https://github.com/toastdriven/taskdb

The elevator pitch: "`taskdb` is a zero-config task tracker that lives entirely in plain Markdown files. Designed to be fast to pick up, impossible to vendor-lock, and friendly to both humans _and_ LLMs."

Docs: https://toastdriven.github.io/taskdb/

(And before you say it, yes, probably akin to `beads` or similar.)

Did you know you can come meet and greet the keynote speakers at the PSF booth? - @pycon

@amcasari is giving the keynote on Sunday morning, but you can come and say hi!

⏰ It's release o'clock ⏰

Just in time for #PyConUS: dsd-vps-kamal - my VPS plugin for Django Simple Deploy - now sports @nanorepublica's django-prodserver 🤝

So you get that sweet `python manage.py server` API to start your production server out of the box 📦💜😁

Today I am proud to announce that Phase One of my wildlife conservation project is complete.

This project is personal. I come from a family of farmers and wildlife rangers. Conservation is not just a cause for me, it is my heritage. After losing my job, I spent months in the fields, mountains, and valleys of our beautiful land, Namibia, talking to my community, listening, and building.

The road has not been easy. The project faces a serious challenge: funding. I have exhausted my budget. On top of that, my ideas are being taken by those in power, people who know that without their approval, the project cannot move forward. That is the biggest obstacle I face.

And yet, at the end of it all, if this project never sees the light of day, I will still be proud that I tried. Proud that Django and Python were the tools I chose. Proud that the open-source community walked this road with me.

I am also still open to job opportunities though.

Thank you, Django community. Thank you, Python community, Thank you, Ubuntu community.. You gave me the tools and the encouragement. This is as much yours as it is mine.
