I'll be at EuroPython in July to talk about my project to run every street in Paris 🏃🗼. My progress is at 26.3% right now. Who's willing to bet that I can be at 35% in a month? 😂.

today i found myself building a docker image with both python and ruby (don't ask me why). i was installing ruby with rvm on python-slim, but rvm was taking minutes downloading and compiling ruby. i switched it up by installing python with uv on ruby-slim and it took just 1s 🤯.

ideal scenario for me would be to just choose the podcast language in spotify, or in a new "elevenlistener" app (@LukeHarries_ is that on the roadmap?).
