Bikes Assembled, Clojure updated
Clojure Monthy updates for the CLI aliases and Project Templates.
Neovim update of plugins for the Practicalli Astro5 configuration.
Compilation and install of a TUI app to play music from YouTube, which has an excellent selection of music available. I prefer using the TUI to the YouTube Music website.
A quick trip to the Coney Hall cycle shop fixed a troublesome hub in the rear wheel, checked with the mechanic on how to assemble the compression plug, donation of an old rear wheel, and collection of a 100mm and 110mm stem to test out the correct length for a good bike fit.
My rim brake wheels are starting to wear out, after 20 years of riding. I will seek out some Fulcrum wheels so I can keep the original look. Fulcrum Racing 5, 3, 1 or zero wheels are options. The Racing Zero wheels are the lightest at around 1430 grams, as they use aluminium bladed spokes. Probably nicer than some of the cheaper carbon wheels.
A review of my tennis elbow and trigger finger with the local GP. I am being referred to advanced Physiotherapy to see if I need an injection in my finger to relieve the locking. From the x-ray of my hand there was no sign of Osteoarthritis (yet) although my blood test did indicate markers for rheumatoid arthritis.
Clojureλ︎
Time to update Clojure CLI Config.
I update the libraries in each alias to their latest version using liquidz/antq. I have an alias called :update/dependency-versions.
I run clojure -T:update/dependency-versions from the root of the project locally. Then commit the changes that liquidz/antq has made.
First I commit updates to the actions in any of the GitHub workflows for the project.
Then I commit all the library version changes in deps.edn.
Finally I cut a new release with details of all workflow and library changes.
Continuous Integration for the latest dependenciesλ︎
There seem to be several approaches to including
- Running Antq locally and manually create a PR for the changes, create a new release from PR (works but time consuming, although I have optomised it a bit)
- Create a GitHub workflow with antq action and add an action to create a PR from the output of antq
- Use clojure-dependency-update-action (author @nnichols states project in maintenance mode, recommends using renovate instead)
- Create workflow with BigConfig (havent tried this yet, is this too big for this specific task ?)
- Create a renovate github action (WIP)
- Setup Mend Renovate service (free version) and add custom sources for Clojars.org and GitHub
- Create a dependabot workflow (does this support Clojure archives & repositories - official support very unlikely).
When asking on the Clojurians slack I only had a reply from one person. They kindly shared their companies custom script they run to update dependencies. Several parts are particular to that company, but I could spend some time crafting something easily maintainable for Practicalli.
There were several mentions of Renovate in the Clojurians Slack community, but nothing that indicates a working solution (equivalent to antq).

I am trying to understand the best way to update Zensical and it is not that obvious.
The Zensical documentation says uv can be used to upgrade a package. I created a Makefile task to update the Zensical package. Running this task downloaded the latest version of zensical, but it doesnt seem to be the right approach for updating Zensical (even though the Zensical website describes this command as the way to update using uv).
Make task: docs-upgrade - this approach no longer used
Output from docs-upgrade
This does not update the pyproject.toml file.
Checking the version of zensical shows the original version in the pyproject.toml file, 0.0.9, rather than the newer 0.0.21.
After editing the pyproject.toml file and updating the version of zensical in the dependencies, the zensical version was still showing 0.0.9.
Zensical version in pyproject.toml file
Then install Zensical again. This cleans out the Python Virtual Environment and installs Zensical and related packages.
Output of make docs-install
cycling main ? ❯ make docs-install

The question remaining is that should I simply update the pyproject.toml file and run make docs-install and forget about upgrading the zensical package using uv ?
TUI Appsλ︎
YouTube Music has a very good collection of music available on its service. I do find the website a little clunky to use, so it was nice to find a TUI app called YouTUI that would let me find music by artists and create playlists from albums.
Shellbeats is another TUI, althogh its focus is on searching and playing songs. There didnt seem to be a way to show albums, although playlists can be added and saved.
YouTUIλ︎
The YouTUI project does not create binary releases. Instead I downloaded the source code and built a binary using the Rust compiler, as the TUI is written in Rust.
The compilation did take a very long time to complete (on a 10 year old computer).
The rust compiler creates the binary file ~/.cargo/bin/youtui. This is not on the execution path, so I gave the complete path to run YouTUI.
The TUI runs okay, although there are a couple of steps before the music can be played.
By default YouTUI uses browser authentication, so the cookie from a POST request to music.youtube.com must be copies to the ~/.config/youtui/cookie.txt file. The Cookie value was copies from the Firefox developer tools (F12) > Network tab > Select a POST request > Resource Headers > Cookie
Now I can search for music in YouTUI, but the music will not play (403 forbidden errors).
Copy the examples/config/config.toml file from the YouTui GitHub repository into ~/.config/youtui/config.toml. Edit this config file and use yt-dlp as the download tool (installing yt-dlp if not already available).
YouTUI config file excerpt
Now I could search for music and play a song or album from the command line.
The final refinement to make is to refactor the keys to be in the vim-style (hopefully that also updates the built in help menus).

Time to update AstroNvim plugins again.
An update highlights there are new versions of the specific AstroNvim plugins with release 5.3.15. A second call to update brought in additional plugins now the newer AstroNvim plugins were installed.
The Astrocommunity has some breaking changes, but not affecting any plugins used in the Practicalli nvim-astro5 config.

Cyclingλ︎
I learned about modern headsets over the weekend, specifically the difference between spider caps and compression plugs.
I have a Bianchi 928 RC bicycle from 2006, which has a carbon frame, forks, stem and handlebards.
When swapping over the original stem (120mm) for a shorter stem (90mm) for a better bike fit, the compression plug slipped down into the fork preventing the stem cap from bolting in place.
The main body of the compression plug cam out quite quickly with a few taps of a rubber mallet. The bolt at the base of the plug had fallen much further down the fork and in a position that didnt come out. After leaving the fork inverted overnight, I managed to tap the bolt loose.
I took the opportunity to remove the fork and clean all the bearings. Applying copper grease to the bearings and fork, it was refitted to the headset.
The information for the compression plug states that it should be fitted with the fork and stem fitted. The assembly minimises the risk of splintering the head pipe of the fork.
the compression plug bolt should be tightened up to between 6-8 Newtons, using a torgue wrench. I tightened the plug bolt to 6 Newtons.
With the handle bars refitted to the stem, the stem bolts around the head of the fork were tightened to 5 N using a torque wrench.
Two rides this week were completed to test out the maintenance. All the work seems good, however, there does seem to be a creek from the left brake lever which may come from the cable that had a little oxidation where it comes out of the frame.
I had a mechanical on the Sunday ride. The tube went pop and was instantly flat. I think it was another sliver of flint, althogh when changing the tube I noticed the rim tape was damaged, with a partial hole over one of the spoke holes in the rim.
I used a part of the deflated tube (using my teeth to create a small section) to cover the hole in the rim tape. The new inner tube was inflated successfully, although the tyre did become softer when I was about 300 meters away from home. I walked the rest of the way.
Thank you.
