This is a wild concept for a slicer, essentially he didn’t even make a slicer just a crazy pre-process and post prossess to cura slicer, deforming the part until it doesn’t have any overhangs, creating a normal planar slice, then undeforming the output from cura. He also mentions that the rapid moved needed modified as well. I’m assuming this is because they are generally long distances and not short, without breaking these long lines up we would still end up wtih a straight line after deform.

Marp: Markdown Presentation Ecosystem Marp (also known as the Markdown Presentation Ecosystem) provides an intuitive experience for creating beautiful slide decks. You only have to focus on writing your story in a Markdown document. marp.app Intersting markdown presentation tool, Looks very simple. I really like split on much better than by h1 or h2. Their theme looks really nice in the screenshots.

How to make an entire clickable without presenting the entire content of the card as the link title. These videos are great, I’ve ran into these types of problems so many times, and definitely did not know about things like isolate to keep the z-index scoped to one element. isolate - scope z-index inside this element so that it does not leak out. [.relative [.absolute, inset-0, z-10]] - the inset zero is a modern shorthand for zeroing all sides, top-0, right-0, bottom-0, left-0.

This is an absolute banger of a review by prime and Dylan Beetle. I love the similar takes with different perspectives, would really like to see them podcast together, but this one way style interview does really well to cover a lot of issues in open source, rug pulls, version pinning, thankless maintainers, what its like to open source from a large company.

Perils of Self-Hosting We speak to Kevin and Patricia from Traefik, discuss Alex's recent ZFS snafu and we wonder if the new Chromecasts can match up to the Nvidia Shield. Self-Hosted · selfhosted.show Interesting takes on Diun here. I agree that I like to be in control of updates and pinning not to latest. both seemed like they weren’t going to run it because they can look up the latest version. Maybe I need to be less aggressive on keeping things up to date and its a me problem. I just got diun setup and hooked into ntfy, and I kinda like the automated checklist of new images that I can review and update. To be a bit more clear, having control over changes coming in from others, even if I dont care to see the changelog, it is nice to roll out an update, have it in your git history, watch it deploy and work like before, if not roll back and read the changelog. For internal applications I’m down for automated releases like argo image updater give you, this thing has already gone through review, launch the damn thing at least to a dev space.

Spring 2025: Self-Hosted Update The one where things plod along. dbushell.com · dbushell.com Davids blogs always have so many links that send me down new rabbit holes. Interesting that his experience with smart home is turning away, I’ve been somewhat interested for awhile, but never fully pulled the trigger on buying things. I really hope tailscale enshitification does not take off, but really for me, I barely use it even as a homelabber. Idk why, but every other homelabber praises it so much and I just dont find myself using it.

Characters Xe Iaso xeiaso.net xeiaso, has the coolest characters on her blog. Definitely something I’d like to replicate. I really appreciate how each one has its own sprite sheet, and they have conversations with each other.

I just moved a few TB’s of data in the homelab and I am expecting a lot of duplication to show up.

Diun Receive notifications when a Docker image is updated on a Docker registry crazymax.dev Diun, looks like a very interesting tool to monitor for image updates, it does not make any change, it only makes notifications. This feels like an easy start to getting image updates started with low effort, keep git ops, but requires manual updates. I see this as a tool that would be a great start and pair well with automated image updaters to ensure they are working as expected.

Keel Kubernetes Operator to automate Helm, DaemonSet, StatefulSet & Deployment updates keel.sh Keel looks interesting, I might give it a try as a simple image updater. I’m unsure if it fits my gitops patterns though. I like to keep everything defined in git, I don’t like drift outside of that so Keel might not be the thing I want.

YouTube Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. youtube.com Damn he makes this easy. I did not know about. yes there is waste in requesting the entire thing every 5s, but damn that was easy to get life reload. I’ve only done very specific backend endpoints, built pages up from partials, made endpoints for partials. keeping this one in my back pocket. I’m just kind of amazed that he could do this all in html without touching the backend or js, typically things like this require one or the other. Yes js is running, but no other js library I’m aware of lets you do this.

Mill-Max Hotswap Sockets Mill-Max sockets for adding hotswap support to regular PCBs. Sold in packs of 60 (good for 30 switches).

Keebio · keeb.io looking into trying these Mill-Max pins on a handwired 3d printed build to see if I can get away from specialty hot swap sockets. Damn they aren’t exactly cheap, I really want the nice short ones but they start at $20 per 60ct and you need two per key, that adds up quick.

External Link r.jina.ai jina reader is a pretty sweet tool to convert a site to ai compatible text. There are other web to markdown types of tools, but the convenience of just adding r.jina.ai to the front of any page makes it so easy to grab for one page of docs.

the racked up 4 framework mainboards sound wild. connected with usb4 and 5gig ethernet. they said they can run big models quantized down from 600Gb to within the 512GB limit they have. This seems wild to bring this level of capability to such a low price point. It will be really cool to start to see demos come out.

PyApp ofek.dev I think I’m getting really close to having a good workflow setup for using pyapp. Such an amazing project to allow developers to create applications in python without passing on the hassle of python and managing installs to the user.

Watching Wes fiddle through this with what a sane person would write in a normal day application and not applying the tricks for this kind of battle is how I feel when trying to do leetcode.

Ergonomic Laptop — Evan and Katelyn Back pain ends here. Evan and Katelyn · evanandkatelyn.com This is such a cool idea, I tend to not use laptops at all because they are so uncomfortable I just wait till I’m back at my desk. This solves two main issues I have with laptops, the posture to use them is shit, the keyboards that come on them is not what I want to use. I’ve solved the latter with my own custom keyboard.

External Link printables.com Zuberios Mantic clamp, would ya look at it. This thing looks like a handy tool for soldering. Excited to give it a try.

Damn this looks good, I’ve been casually keeping my eye out for something like this for quite awhile, I think this will come in handy for keeb builds. Printing one out as I post this, damn I love 3d-printing.

There are many Style Guides but this is Mine—zachleat.com A post by Zach Leatherman (zachleat) Zach Leatherman · zachleat.com Zach’s site looks sick colors are all on point, the fonts are so good.

Weblogging: Part 1 The one where I blog about blogging (part 1) dbushell.com · dbushell.com Long live RSS! Rss is not dead David, you are right there. I really agree with David that learning a topic well enough to form thoughts and write about it really help learning. You don’t need to be an expert, but forming your own thoughts, putting ideas in words takes a lot more than surface level knowledge. When you try to write or speak about something you quickly realize where your holes in understanding are. Blogging helps me learn. When I commit knowledge to writing it reinforces what I know and shines a spotlight on what I don’t. Most topics require additional research. Even then, I occasionally get things wrong, or miss different ways of thinking, and I welcome corrections. I’ll often update and enrich my posts based on feedback. Without my blog I’d miss other points of view. As they say, the best way to get an answer on the internet is not to pose a question, but to assert the wrong solution! Most feedback I get is constructive. Sometimes it’s blunt but I try not to read into unspoken sentiment. Some people are more direct. If the end result is positive learning, I can take a hit or…

Cotton Coder The one where I launch a new blog dbushell.com · dbushell.com I like Davids idea for cotton coder here, reminds me a lot of Thoughts, which turns out to be mroe commonly called a linkblog. I can relate to David heavily on gathering too many side projects and soem collecting more digital dust than you would really like them to. I use thoughts for quick publishing, very similar to David’s notes. I have tags and titles, but the titles are a reflection of the post I’m taking a note on. They are short and sweet, I put just enough thought into them without overthinking them. They live as a separate server hosted website, but the data gets pulled into my blog at build time, so they end up in the same place eventually.

GitHub - valkey-io/valkey: A flexible distributed key-value database that is optimized for caching and other realtime workloads. A flexible distributed key-value database that is optimized for caching and other realtime workloads. - valkey-io/valkey GitHub · github.com valkey appears to be the largest open source fork of redis that was forked just before their transition to the new source available licenses. One notable thing missing from the readme is how to run with docker, which I saw in the valkey-py docs. You can install the python library with

valkey Python client for Valkey forked from redis-py PyPI · pypi.org python bindings for valkey, forked from redis. one notable difference I see from redis is that you can install with libvalkey to autmatically get faster parsing support. For faster performance, install valkey with libvalkey support, this provides a compiled response parser, and for most cases requires zero code changes. By default, if libvalkey >= 2.3.2 is available, valkey-py will attempt to use it for response parsing.
