Dockerized WordPress on a Raspberry Pi
This blog runs on a a Raspberry Pi since 9th April 2019 and surprisingly the Pi performs quiete well. WordPress on itself does not need too many ressources for my use case since i don’t have hundreds of visitors per day, leaving capcaity for other applications.
The current setup includes an out of the box docker-compose and a backup script which uploads files to the dropbox cloud storage. In this series i would like to give you a short introduction how my setup works and how you could set it up by yourself.

How to divide two timestamps in equal chunks
TLDR: pd.date_range(start=s, end=e, periods=period) Task Given two timestamps, how to create equally spaced out times between them? My first thought, when it comes to creating evenly spaced numbers is using linspace. This would require transforming the datetimes into unix timestamps,…
Duplicate Keys when Generating a Json from a Dictionary in Python
TLDR: A dictionary in json treats all keys as string, while a python dict distinguishes not only between the content but also its datatype (see stackoverflow). When saving a dictionary into a json and reloading the dictionary from it, you…

How To Create A Superset Guest Token With Python To Embed Dashboards
The ulterior motive is to embed a Superset Dashboard into e.g. a REACT application. To achieve this, one step includes the creation of guest tokens (service accounts). This process is (in my opinion) not sufficiently well documented, which is why…

TLDR: It is possible to dynamically create dags with only one dag script. However, at task execution the original dag script will be parsed once again. This results in unnecessary parsing iterations of dags, which are not the parent dag…
PyTorch – expected scalar type Float but found Double
TLDR: The default datatype of a numpy array translates to double/float64. If a Tensor is created from that array using torch.as_tensor it will adopt that datatype, which is not compatible with the default datatype of a neural network model which…

How to evaluate the Transformer Trainer
If you initialized a Trainer object, it will do the training boiler plate for you. Using the TrainingArguments, you can additionally customize your training process. One important argument is the evaluation_strategy which is set to “no” by default, thus no evaluation is done while training. You can set it up either per…
