Helping make Wikidata the best store of political data worldwide
@maxlath Woot! Much thanks!
@maxlath That's excellent, thank you! Is that only a CLI option, or can it be set in the config file?
@maxlath Can wikibase-cli read operations set a custom User-Agent header? I can't find anything in the docs, but the use of customHeaders in request.js makes me think there might be some way that I'm just not seeing

Ooops. Forgot to post about this week's shufflings here. Though presumably it doesn't matter, as you've all subscribed to get it by email and avidly read it on Tuesday night anyway, right? Right?

Political comings and goings from January 8th to 14th

I've been talked into taking what I discover tracking political comings-and-goings worldwide, and turning it into a weekly newsletter. So if you're interested in keeping up with world events through the prism of watching who's out and who's in, look no further than https://shuffled.beehiiv.com/

(And, as always, very happy for people to point out all the typos and other mistakes I've undoubtedly made, or other stories I've missed.)

Happy Sammarinese Captains Regent Investiture Day to all those to celebrate.

[1/x] Because I'm an enormous #RoadSign nerd, today we're going to take a magical tour of a selection of signs in use in Europe to warn road users about domesticated animals in and around the carriageway. This most commonly takes the form of a black cow symbol inside a red triangle.

We're starting in the UK, with a very decent example. Nice sweep on the horns, a good swishy tail, and a very planted feeling that suggests you'll have a bad day if you choose to mess with her. You can also see her in fellow left-hand traffic country Cyprus, where she is presumably enjoying somewhat nicer weather. Score: 7/10

@maxlath @LucasWerkmeister Wooohooo! Warnings are gone! 
@maxlath @LucasWerkmeister I can't see v18 yet. Something gone awry somewhere?

@maxlath @LucasWerkmeister I'm still getting the warning after updating to v17.0.10 :(

(node is at v21.5.0 FWIW)
