Command Line Interface Guidelines clig.dev ↗
Command Line Interface Guidelines An open-source guide to help you write better command-line programs, taking traditional UNIX principles and updating them for the modern day. clig.dev This is a pretty sick set of guidelines to help you write better cli programs, I’m definitely coming back to reading this one more in depth later.
FastHX volfpeter.github.io ↗
FastHX - FastHX volfpeter.github.io Very interesting approach to htmx and fast api. It uses separate decorators for returning template partials and json that can be stacked to include both options on a single route. The templates are explicitly set in the decorator. Separate decorators are used for full page and partial pages. I don’t see an example of full and partial pages being combined. I think the demo app must be behaving in a spa like fashion where it does not get all of the data when it calls index and index will ask for user-list. Definitely going to keep my eye on this project and ponder on it.

svenstaro/miniserve: 🌟 For when you really just want to serve … github.com ↗
GitHub - svenstaro/miniserve: 🌟 For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now! 🌟 For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now! - svenstaro/miniserve GitHub · github.com miniserve is a sweet http server, replacement for. It’s fast, runs off a small binary, but why would I want to use it over something that already exists on most machines, because it includes a bunch of features like qr codes, pretty themes, and uploads. I’ve used many times to transfer files from one machine to another in a pinch, like at a family members house. But what if they have an android, windows, or something not easy to get a python repl running on, you can run miniserve and upload from their device rather than hosting from their device.
Inside 22,734 Steam games | daniel.haxx.se daniel.haxx.se ↗
Inside 22,734 Steam games About a year ago I blogged about games that use curl. In that post I listed a bunch of well-known titles I knew use curl and there was a list of 136 additional games giving credit to curl. Kind of... daniel.haxx.se · daniel.haxx.se Interesting to see that curl is used in so many places. I often think of things like games being so windows centric and curl being so linux centric I don’t even think of these things crossing paths as much as they do.

wcurl is here | daniel.haxx.se daniel.haxx.se ↗
wcurl is here Users tell us that remembering what curl options to use when they just want to download the contents of a URL is hard. This is one often repeated reason why some users reach for wget instead of cur... daniel.haxx.se · daniel.haxx.se interesting, seems like such a simple way to completely remove the need of a whole other cli. No offense to anyone working on wget, but generally I use it out of lazyness or something wierd is happening and I am looking for a second opinion. Cool to know that wcurl exists and will start shipping with curl.

I’ve started leaning in on kubernetes kustomize to customize my manifests per deployment per environment. Today I learned that it comes with a diff command.

kubectl diff -k k8s/overlays/local

You can enable color diffs by using an external diff provider like colordiff.

export KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF="colordiff -N -u"

You might need to install colordiff if you don’t already have it.

sudo pacman -S colordiff

sudo apt install colordiff

Now I can try out kustomize changes and see the change with kustomize diff.

kubectl dash k

Kubernetes ships with a feature called kustomize that allows you to customize your manifests in a declarative way. It's a bit like helm, but easier to use. I...

Animal well does not let you remap keys, and really doesn’t even inform you that it is keyboard compatible. I had to play around and discover the keymap, which can be a bit tricky on a 40% board. This is what I found.

  • wasd - move
  • space - jump / a
  • enter - interact / b
  • x - throw
  • c - inventory
  • 1 - left item / rb
  • 2 - open item menu / triangle
  • 3 - right item / lb
