In Digdag, workflows are typically defined in YAML files with a “.dig” extension. Developers usually write these workflows, which consist of tasks to be executed. However, tasks can also be added dynamically using the Digdag Python API or by downloading a “.dig” file from a remote HTTP server and incorporating it as a subtask. This approach is useful when a web service or app generates customized workflow files based on web app conditions, allowing the workflow logic to be managed externally. You can add webhooks to make it reactive.
You can set up a failure alert task _error in Digdag to alert you when a workflow fails. But sometimes you want to get an alert even if the task runs successfully but takes more time than expected. For this, you can use sla feature.
The Bachchao Project hosted the “Data: Public, Private and Beyond” from 12th to 15th May 2023 at Panjim, Goa. It’s an Art on Tech exhibition inspired by The Glass Room. I wanted to go but couldn’t due to personal and work reasons.
I showcased Surveillance in the Bengaluru project to attract more contributors to mapping Surveillance in Bengaluru or other cities.
One of the valuable features of Google maps app is GPS logging. It keeps track of where you have been so you can take action if required later. I wanted an open-source, self-hosted version of that.
I have been thinking about running SDR on Android for some time. So I did this week. The setup is useful for “showing” radio waves to kids and adults. It also makes sense to see it when you want to debug wifi channel or other radio issues at home.
I have been playing Minetest for a while now, mostly in creative mode. Recently I wanted to control it programmatically. So I started looking for ways to do it. I found mineysocket mod, which gives remote access to Minetest server over a network/socket API. There are wrappers available for various languages, including Python.
