ModuleNotFoundError

I recently tried to look at CHIRP, a tool to program (amateur) radios. But at its start I only got an error:

$ chirp

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yattag'

Most of these kind of errors look like this and it's quite clear: we need to install a package called yattag -- more precisely it is a python module.

I do install python modules this way:

$ python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade yattag

Cloudlog

Cloudlog is a webapplication written in PHP that allows ham radio amateurs to log contacts online. I host my own instance on my server and I finally looked into why I never got satellites shown in SAT Timers.

I use php-fpm and it is running as the user www. It is kind of jailed and it cannot read /etc/ssl/cert.pem -- so the https connections cannot be verified and it failes at downloading the satellites infos from other websites.

I solved this by copying /etc/ssl to /var/www/etc/ssl via rsync, keeping file permissions intact. I may setup a cronjob for this maybe.

$ cd /var/www
$ doas rsync -avhzrp /etc/ssl/ etc/ssl
sending incremental file list
created directory etc/ssl
./
cert.pem
ikeca.cnf

That was the second part, counting from where we stopped from the previous directory.

There was a draft post left in 2022 which I deleted, now I had to renumber the folders from 28-* to 34- to a number lower by 1.

$ for i in {29..34}; do zmv -n -W $i'*' $((--i))'*'; done
mv -- 29-using-nfs-on-a-raspberry-pi 28-using-nfs-on-a-raspberry-pi

mv -- 33-changing-network-metrics-on-linux 32-changing-network-metrics-on-linux
mv -- 34-change-git-submodule-url 33-change-git-submodule-url

So, there is still one post left that is actually a draft post and I'd like to remove the leading number from that directory.

$ zmv -n -W '59-*' '*'
mv -- 59-pat-winlink-on-openbsd pat-winlink-on-openbsd
