💭 AIs aren’t good rule followers

2026-04-14T15:16:11Z

Steve Yegge: I was chatting with my buddy at Google, who's been a tech director there for about 20 years, about their AI adoption. Craziest convo I've had all year. …

I’ve gotta agree with bob on this one, the first thing I did to my biggest brownfield project I wanted to use agents on BEFORE they did work was a hardened pre-commit.yaml, ci, hardened type checking and linting. SECOND get rid of bad inconsistent patterns, let them replicate consistency, force them to pass checks. Agents will follow all of your markdown suggestions most of the time, enough for you to become complacent if you let it. They are goal seeking, if you put them to a task you thought was possible that is not given your constraints, they will try to find a way given enough tokens. I dont see this ever changing, its one thing that makes them great, it just needs to be kept in check.

Artemis II Lunar Flyby - NASA

behind, yet positioned to completely dominate this race by hitting it with some sense. Making trends in what looks like longevity in the race that is not subsidising to simply get users, but to get by until they figure out how to 100x reduce the cost to a reasonable level. They feel like the guy sitting in the back with nothing big or flashy to say that is going to drop the hammer on their competition that overstretched itself taking on too much debt because it was necessary to change the game. There might be something to having a mix of hipsters, boomers, and luddites all trying to balance each other out.

Anthropic Mythos

2026-04-13T16:18:15Z

An ai model created by Anthropic was announced as a closed preview on April 7, 2026 for critical security research and evaluation with its close partners with critical software such as operating systems and browsers. Anthropic claims that mythos is able to reason through so much more context that any model ever before. This enables it to find bugs that are 25 years old in the BSD, considered one of the most secure operating systems we have. Once it finds these zero day bugs never discovered before its able to use them together in malicious ways never expected. In ways the world is not ready for. At the time of writing these are claims without proof. It remains scary to know the potential this has and that there is only a few companies with this potential that will gatekeep who gets access.

What happens when the 0 days are exposed?

2026-04-13T16:12:04Z

What’s going to happen to all of our software when Anthropic Mythos finds all of the 0 day vulnerabilities? Will everything depending on the bugs break? Will it be possible to fix them cleanly? Will we all get pwnd when the bad actors get access to them before everything is patched? Will LTS Operating Systems Die?

5 star video, if you are going to watch one video to understand how harnesses and agents work, this is it. This really had my gears spinning on what tools do for agents and how big of a difference they make in their ability to manage context efficiently and accurately create changes. It’s crazy how good bash works, and that gives the agents the ability to do just about everything, but it could be better.

2026-04-08T09:29:40Z

A really interesting long form interview with @simonwillison.net. If you follow him closely most of it is probably not new, but I found some interesting nuggets.

Simon is writing most of his code from his phone these days using anthropic hosted platform. He mentioned that a lot of security risks go away when you don’t put secrets on the platform and you let them take the risk of running ai written code with ai chosen supply chain.

He talked about the Pelican Riding a Bike benchmark for quite awhile. He was surprised at how well of a proxy it is for how capable a model is at just about everything. He also said that when he runs the benchmark he also runs half a dozen others that he’s never talked about so that He could see if they were to train a model specific to his benchmark he could catch them, but it seems they had caught on and if they were they seem that they would already be doing it on all of his others anyways.

TDD is incredibly boring for humans, it strips so much creativity and joy from the process. Who cares if agents are bored they do better when doing TDD.

Wonka letters all cut out ready to get some stiffeners and go off for paint.

What is this job anymore

2026-04-03T20:44:55Z

The job of writing code is dying, models are getting better, the average person will have their average features implemented in average ways with no effort by agents, the writing is on the wall. We are still trying to review most of the critical code, this is slowing us down, is it really stopping any bugs or giving us any more familiarity with the product, marginally.

The time is now to grease up your UAT, testing, deployment pipelines. Dont let agents delete entire regions. Review your backup and restore strategy, you do have a DR plan right?

Things are changing fast, the best of us are still better than the clankers. Most of us have more context than the clankers. Most of us have more intuition of what and where to implement fixes. Context windows and memory will be solved problems. Your DR plan, UAT, testinng and QA environments will not come for free, you need to make them, and deeply integrate them into your processes.

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile and Daniel makes some great arguments here. Interestingly keeping inference cheap removes the incentives to make our tools better, help us choose the right model, lean on local models, open weight models. The frontier models are so affordable through subsidized subscription models why would you deal with anything less intelligent at this point. The tooling we use is not optimized for it, and why should it be.

Social Media is dead, interest media killed it long ago. I no longer feel like I’m connecting to people, creating community, having fun, learning. I feel like I’m being shoveled slop from the slop machine, I’m sure mostly create by well intentioned people just trying to make it in the world, trying to make their mark, trying to make something of themselves. The algos long lost the idea of subs and likes, and transitioned to how long you will pause on a topic. What used to be a series of recognizable faces, names, avatars, each with their own personality that I could come to learn and know who was just trollin, who was serious, is now mostly unrecognizable. Platforms have changed and fractured communities people went separate ways, not all the same ways. No one community is like it used to be, and its hard to find.

EDC #

I try to keep a pretty light every day carry, but it never works out, keyfobs and headphone cases end up causing more bulk than I’d like, but My EDC is no where near the bulk I had as a kid with my cargo pants decked out with everything I could possibly need.

I hold no attachment to anything in my EDC. Nothing on my person has sentimental value. Anything I carry can be lost, stolen, or destroyed at any point in time. I pick things of sufficient usable, utilitarian, quality sufficient to work. No extra fluff.

Olight Perun - Since April 2022
Civivi Qubit - Since March 2024 after my last one was donated to the Indianapolis Stadium

Rules #

lightweight
replacable
no emotional attachments
utilitarian
everything serves a purpose

My kit #

Photo taken March 2023

Phone #

Google Pixel 6

I will not get finance a new phone for the foreseeable future again. The last time I feel like I got a phone that felt like an upgrade was 2018 when I went to the Pixel 3. The pixel 6 and pixel 8 my wife has feel no different whatsoever to me. It’s become more of a tool that does its job, there’s no major upgrades really driving me to create more ewaste with new devices.

Wallet #

Ridge Wallet

A necessary evil that I still need. I keep as few of cards as necessary in it. This would be the worst thing in my kit to loose. Only because the time it would take to replace all of them. This one was a gift to replace my last leather wallet, and I see no reason for this one to ever need replaced. It’s much lighter and smaller, would not change that aspect.

Flashlight #

Olight Perun

When I became a homeowner I added a dedicated flashlight to my EDC. Its light and out of the way. It’s the only thing I’ve ever found useful to fit in the coin pocket of jeans, so I don’t even notice it. Compared to using a phone, its more powerful, easier to position on me with the clip on my shirt/pants, or magnetically to a metal surface for inspections/house work.

Knife #

Civivi Qubit

I’ve carried a knife since as long as I can remember, feels like 10 but probably more like 14 years old. Never anything fancy, a few knock off leathermans, a few Buck, Case, KaBar that I found on a bridge, and now 3 Civivis. I use them till they break or more commonly they get lent and not returned, or lost. This is the most utilitarian thing I keep, almost always kept razor sharp, used, abused, and put away dirty. Never used for prying, but used to cut anything it will cut no matter how hard it is on it. Its not to look pretty, show off, its purely a tool that I hold no attachment to.

Headphones #

OpenFit Shokz

Not my first choice in headphones, but they work. Headphones are probably the item of biggest churn and ewaste for me. Eventually I might pony up for something that is more durable and repairable, but headphones just don’t last forever before they stop working for me. This latest pair was a pair my wife chose to try and did not like. They sat in a drawer for a year or so until I started carrying them.

Where Is The Tech Industry Going

2026-03-27T14:11:49Z

Agents suck

Get left behind if you don’t use them

Burn out if you use them too much

The software world has been flipped upside down seemingly overnight. Slow at first, then all at once. It started with auto complete, to chat, to, ide integrations, to agents that would f&!^ over your repo more than it would help. Up till this point we are just little bit better and more specific than copy paste from Stack Overflow. Then in Nov 2025 models learned how to effectively use tools and do what you ask of them, sometimes more, sometimes less, but generally for the basic shit most of us make its a net positive with each iteration.

Our techniques for managing work need to change.

Our expectations need to change.

Burnout for a lot of folks is coming.

Is Compaction The Issue

2026-03-26T09:37:47Z

I saw today in work chat something along the lines of “we need bigger context windows” “compaction times are holding us back”. Maybe I’m just blessed with the lack of lord jira, maybe juggle too many projects at once and they are all pretty much done when I get back. Maybe I do more long running specs and spend time making good plans that it does not matter.

Anyways the point I’m getting to is that if you think that compaction is your main issue slowing you down, and 10x this if you are a manager thinking this is what is slowing down your team you need to look at your workflow. Not because it sucks. Not only because it could be better. Because you are signing yourself and your team up for burnout if you are sitting there watching these things run like waiting for paint to dry and firing more prompts at them as soon as they are done. It feels easy. It feels like you are going fast. Its eating more brainpower than you think, and its not getting you to your destination any faster.

My Thoughts on Beads | Nic Payne

We f&#ing said @pype.dev, well f&#ing said. I think a lot of us are feeling this, we’ve pitched our brain into a bucket and we are no longer stretching it in the same way. We still work in similar ways of old, with new ways of turning off and saying yes a bunch of times. the best thing I can hope for is that as things get better we have fewer yes loops, and more architectural design debates and deep thoughts. But I fear deep thoughts are gone to the way of “research the leading 10 frameworks and pick the best one for this project.” and letting the clankers do the deep thinking. Its signing us up for a weird distopia.

I think a lot of us wish we could undo what has happened and go back to actually understanding what we are doing, but the world has changed, and if you are building average shit, like the average person, using models trained on average people doing average shit you cant keep up anymore.

move zmk keyboard to new bluetooth adapter

2026-03-23T17:59:59Z

I’ve been having issue with my keyboard disconnecting to my main desktop for awhile. Today I got a cheap bluetooh dongle in and am giving it a run this week to see how things go. The first step was to move it to the new adapter. I’ve never had multiple adapters installed so this was a new to me process.

I was able to do it all with the same keyboard, It did require some juggling between usb and bluetooth modes pluging and unplugging, two keyboards would be simpler to reason about.

I can’t be bothered to change my brain to think about this machine on a different zmk profile it is of absolute importance for it to remain on the same profile, otherwise this would be a simple bind to another empty profile.

Why not use a cable on desktop?

I dont mind cable, and have used one on this setup for years, but I have actually been picking up and moving this keyboard and using it with different devices.

I’ve got a big battery and performace cranked up, unless my machine is under load I do not notice any key lag.

I did it with bluetoothctl, I’m sure it could have been done with a gui like blueberry or blueman.

bluetoothctl
# list adapters
list
select <old-adapter>
devices
# fin the MAC address of the device 42BLOCK
remove <42BLOCK_MAC>

Now I plugged into usb. And importantly cleared out the zmk profile. If you do not clear the profile your board does not go into pairing mode.

bluetoothctl
# switch adapters
select <new-adapter>
power on
agent on
default-agent
scan on
Put 42Block in pairing mode, then:

Notes – 06:34 Mon 23 Mar 2026

I love the level of thought that Jim has put into these changes and making sure that urls don’t change. I’ve got a big change in flight to my main site and this is one of the reasons that I’ve been sitting on it so long. I want to make sure urls arent broken, redirects work as they should, and there are no 404’s from existing urls. Currently the new version only exists on a separate deployement https://go.waylonwalker.com/

I also added the ability to “shuffle” between posts. This is mostly for myself. I like to randomly jump through notes I’ve published in the past for reoccurring inspiration

Love this idea and have it on my new site already as well, and have really enjoyed using it by pressing it a dozen or so times over the course of a few sessions. It highlights that I have too many posts like stars and thoughts and I should do some weighting to main posts. mine is at https://go.waylonwalker.com/random/

2026-03-23T09:07:38Z

Almost Cheesed It To Port Aquelite

Does anyone think fast-code will continue to pay the same salary? The answer isn’t to switch your brain off during your McCode shift and write a poem after work. Your job will be replaced by a Banglasdeshi slop-shop if AI improves (which is inevitable, apparently). Possibly the same sweatshop that loomed my £3 T-shirt. The Luddites didn’t accept their fate so easily.

David has some good points here, but I’m feeling the opposite direction a bit. Execs have always liked keeping the PM’s and the people steering the ship close by and were willing to farm out more and more grunt work. It feels like we are in a weird phase where there used to be a big group of people paid to write code. A few of them are exceptionally good at it and will remain. There will be a need for these people everywhere. Somehow we still need people hand editing assembly code optimizations, fortran, and cobol today. Those industries largely moved on, but a few great ones remain. I think this fast-code slop factory is going to be a short forgotten time in history, but no one yet knows what’s next. We are all waiting to find out. Just with anything there is still value in doing it by hand and understanding it at a deep level, but its quickly becoming hobby work. The things that most people code, things like CRUD apps do not require a special skill. They are largely replicating existing good patterns on frameworks to implement business logic that are custom to the app. There is no way of getting around the latter. Someone will always need to understand the business logic and be able to “sign off” and assert that it does the thing the business needs.

I don't want someone else running my agents

2026-03-23T00:00:00Z

I don’t want to review the pr, I dont want to fight the mass of changes clobbered across the codebase. I want to own my platform. With everything changing with agents writing more code than I can imagine in a day work looks different now. I still want to work with real people. I want to collaborate on ideas. I want someone to bounce ideas off with. I want someone else in the war room with me on launch day, or when the whole thing goes down. But I don’t them slopping in my sandbox, if someone is going to be stirring the slop in my product I want it to be me. Work is feeling different now. New lines need to be drawn in new directions. Expectations are changing, the way work is completed is changing, and we are all here trying to figure out what this looks like moving forward.

Learning to agent

2026-03-19T20:53:08Z

All we are hearing lately is Agents are the future, something flipped around NOV 2025 with opus 4.5. It turned snake oil into action. It changed programmers will be replaced in 6 months to now. Not all of them, but probably most of us who are not extraordinary. If you fall into the camp of folks not adopting, I got no issues with that. No one is twisting your arm, well maybe your boss or cto is, thats on them. I don’t mean to say this is the future as in, get in or get left behind. I mean it as this is where your other engineers probably are, the junior to mid level engineers are here. If you are not trying to meet them where they are how are you going to lead them.

Studio Ghibli Images in the Wild

Its clearly the aesthetic that It would do by default for that week, then would not do it whatsoever. I’d link it, but its from an org chart. I mostly found it interesting how we now have these recognizable artifacts from specific moments in time.

2026-03-19T17:42:56Z

I feel like there’s an inevitable phase to every ai/agentic worked feature/epic where you have to get in and chat with it 2025 style (except it actually works and doesn’t turn your project to shit). Planning is great, planning out epics for full orchestrator’s to churn for hours on is amazing, but it always leaves me with a handful of thorns multiplied by complexity level of things that I can shout a list of 6 items at a time that it can one shot. I haven’t seen anyone put a name to this phase yet, so I’m going to call it the UAT phase for now and it seems like a very necessary part of the SDLC. It was important before, but feels more so now as engineers distance themselves from the implementation.

Research, Plan, Implement

2026-03-18T20:49:26Z

I heard this term yesterday, and I think a lot of people are missing out on step 1. It’s important to experiment with agents and learn what they can do well and what they cant, this changes every couple of weeks at this point. You might be spending hours planning something that could have been implemented right away, or maybe wasted time planning something that needed more research, more context engineering. Agents start fresh every session, they cant remember what you asked them to do 5 minutes ago in the other session, getting the right tokens in session is critical.

dot dockerenv

2026-03-18T10:07:16Z

Today I learned that docker creates an empty /.dockerenv file to indicate that you are running in a docker container. Other runtimes like podman commonly use /run/.containerenv. kubernetes uses neither of these, the most common way to detect if you are running in kubernetes is to check for the presence of the KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST environment variable. There will also be a directory at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount that contains the service account credentials if you are running in kubernetes.

Context Poisoning Was There All Along

2026-03-17T21:10:38Z

I wrote some code by hand on Sunday. Sat down with my son and started building out a game in pygame from scratch. We went to google, we searched how to do something, we copy and pasted from the docs. Not because we are dumb, but because we cant remember some aspects of the pygame api. Now that these patterns are established we no longer have to google them, we simply grep our codebase and replicate the pattern. Easy right? It’s funny that it took ai to coin the term context poisoning even though it was there all along.

Agents cannot replace the thinking, they only amplify it

2026-03-17T20:32:16Z

Agents cannot replace the thinking, they only amplify it. If you set the agents off in the wrong direction that’s where they will go. They will sprint there faster than you can go. This is ok, its one of their advantages, they can give you signal quick. Remember if they are off in the wrong direction more research and planning is needed, and maybe a little bit more thinking on your end to steer them in the right direction.

💭 ten year computer

Dreaming of a ten-year computer – alexwlchan

alexwlchan.net

Great gusto here from someone looking to fill landfills less. Get more use from what they paid for. Dodge some tough times in the hardware industry. I’m going to argue that the 10 year computer is not one bit crazy right now. No idea what the future entails, if local llms get good enough to really get so useful they feel required this could easily change. One issue I had with the post as they are looking to get a machine for the next 10 years is they were so focused on themself that they missed the point. They were so focused on buying something that would work for them for 10 years that they bought something brand new rather than thinking about the bigger issue of how do we get hardware to last 10+ years. Some factor of this involves giving our devices a second life. Two things went wrong here. First it appears they they have a perfectly good imac with a broken screen. I know nothing about apple/imac, assuming that the screen is toast and unrepairable, I know you can ssh into a mac this feels like good potential for server hardware. Next they purchased a brand new mac mini. Hardware has been good for a long time, there is no need to buy new right now, especially now. I haven’t bought a new machine in years and most of my hardware is second hand cobbled together stuff, and has no issues. I’ve got one machine thats 16 years old, 2 machines at 9 years, one at 8 years. To get here they need to be repairable, designed to last, and probably no run windows as they will release something that renders them too slow or require new hardware for security that wont work.

💭 The future of Coding and Code Quality - YouTube

2026-03-17T09:07:41Z

Very interesting takes from @thdxr in this interview. A lot has been hashed out by others all over the place, but a hot take here is that code quality is higher than ever right now. Codebases are becoming more consistent than ever. If you are not starting with a good consistent base from the start you are poising your context and doomed to fail and have all the common failures of ai written code. He still reads almost every PR, and will read all of the code eventually. There are a few cases where reading the PR is not worthwhile only when its low stakes, knows that good patterns have been established and followed. He argues that someone needs to be the expert of the code and of the product still and fears that too many people not looking at prs will fail companies.

Thinking about ai productivity again

2026-03-16T21:01:44Z

Thinking about AI productivity again. It’s allowing massive amounts of work to get done, to levels that humans cannot physically type out in some cases. But not all of this work is necessarily high value work. Right now I’m working on one of the biggest PRs to an internal cli library. Probably the largest PR I’ve ever done professionally. It touches all of the cli, refactors every command, reaches into the business logic layers to drive deeper separation. I reaches into the common layers to drive consistency. It ensures that every command (50 or so) has similar flags, supports –plain, –no-color. It specs out contracts to ensure that data goes out stdout, any extra goes out stderr. This makes everything unix pipe friendly. There was quite a bit of research and prep that went in, that turns out to already be distilled down into clig.dev. The point is that this is all good work. It will make the product consistent, repeatable, expected, and most of all boring. Most of the time, it will just work. Since we did it ahead of a lot of other agentic work on the product its establishing good patterns for the product moving forward. But its low value work. We wouldn’t have likely put humans on this work wholesale and fixed critical paths as they came up. Its not cutting cost, selling more product, or driving critical business decisions. Yes it’s worth it now, but it would not have bee in the past.

Pluralistic: The web is bearable with RSS (07 Mar 2026) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

pluralistic.net

It’s wild how much of a hit Google took from killing reader, almost any time I hear about killedbygoogle, reader is the top of the list. Its the thing that we all remember being really good and the incumbants just did not match up. Somehow we are here 13 years later still bitching about it, despite it only having a 6 year run. You should probably get an rss reader, and follow some incredible people that make feeds. Most sites that produce content have the ability to subscribe over rss. Unlike @pluralistic.net, I dont read in my reader. My reader is just a list of links out to the web and I typically read it how the author intended on their site. I nod a long to Cory’s enshitified internet just as much as the next guy, I love text based interfaces, I despise the bloat that js has brought on. But I don’t believe all js is bad, I don’t turn it off, even though he has me questioning this now. News sites kinda suck, we can agree there, but its rare that a small indie web creator has fully enshitified their site with js. I don’t buy that. Sub to the feeds.

Here’s something I’ve been wrestling with lately. I keep hearing people come to the realization that they never liked coding, they thought they did, but secretly hated it the whole time. I dont think I’ve ever kidded myself about this. I like building things. I like having an idea and see it come to life. Just because I like the end product more, and that coding really was a means to an end, something I will never do again in the same capacity that I have in the past, does not mean I did not enjoy the art of solving problems by typing syntax into a file to tell a computer how to solve a problem.

I enjoy reading about what other people are thinking, doing, creating. But when I go to grab a podcast while I wait on my clankers its one talking about how other people are using them, how to make them more secure, more effective, how the new models change things, what models are good at what. It’s all so new and changes so fast. Any sort of new open source project starts out sus that it was just vibe coded anyways, So at the moment it feels like ooh how did you get that, how do I make mine, and that the thing itself has less value. I hate that its this way, but it is.

I Built A Tmux Session Switcher

2026-03-04T20:47:37Z

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now. For years now, fuzzy pickers and last session have been my go to. They have served me well. I can typically only keep so much in my head anyways. I’m often doing a hub and spoke pattern between main project, notes, and infra repo, maybe two projects. Don’t get me wrong, I regularly run with a dozen or more sessions running at a time, but only two to three are in my immediate context at any point anyways.

The Design #

harpoon for tmux

press a hotkey followed by one more keystroke, currently any left hand letter SIMPLE, FAST, thats of utmost importance, what I want are sessions that I can can be assigned in order of importance from middle row, top row, bottom row.

I added this binding to my tmux config. Now I can press c-a a to go to the first session, c-a s to go to the second session. c-a and pause to think j/k to navigate, space to pick up a session and move it, x to kill it.

bind-key -n c-a popup -E '~/go/bin/tgo'

Enter the agents #

Now with agents doing more and more work, and cooking for longer periods this is not cutting it, I’m often swapping through a lot more sessions, I’ve got more projects sitting in more phases between research, implementation, fully orchestrated agents, and sessions that need their hand held to get things right.

Image of the tgo tool in action, I’d show you a video, but its not really that interesting, it just flashes up and goes to the next session as fast as you can press the key.

Idk how much it cost, it barely touched my $20/month weekly token allowance. I’ve been thinking about it for awhile and decided today was the day to pull the trigger on something and get it started, worst case I throw it away. It took the agents about 7 minutes to implement a working version with broken ci that it later fixed.

I’ve typed far more characters and put more thought into this post than the tool itself, that where we are these days I guess.

Is gpt-5.4 slow?

2026-03-04T20:47:00Z

What you don’t have six agents orchestrating the work of 6 subagents yet. I saw in a work chat that people were complaining about 5.4 being too slow and they keep going back to opus. For me its been working great, I have it working on critical infrastructure work, that I will need to maintain. I appreciate its accuracy and completeness. And honestly I’m rarely watching agents run. Its like watching paint dry at this point. Its interesting to read their thinking prompts, but not productive work. While its running I’m teeing up the net prompt. Working with another set of agents to write a set of issues for the next epic. I might be too privileged though. I own a whole platform and have plenty of autonomy to work on what I see fit for the day. I don’t have a boss breathing down my neck waiting for a single ticket to be complete. I’m working on 6 projects at a time. I’m taking walks to avoid becoming a burnt out zombie. I’m definitely not complaining about it kicking out massive amounts of code too slow though.

We are the Grey Beards

2026-03-04T20:44:12Z

In November 2025 everyones beard lost its color, we aged into the next generation without realizing it. If you were getting paid to write code at this point in time, you are part of a special point in history where we used to write code by hand. There will be systems air gapped systems somewhere devs will continue to do it how we’ve always done it, some day they will peek out of this cave and realize that they are the only ones left, no one else remembers what its like. Writing code will quickly become a hobby that people do, in a weird niche way. Not because you want to build something, but like the guy with a mainframe in his garage that likes to watch the lights blink. Because its nostalgic, it’s a very cool skill, its fun and rewarding, but it won’t be to get something done.

@builder to research and fully understand https://www.searchcraft.io/ before
starting, properly ingest all of the site and make the search page, I don't
want you to stop or ask questions until it works, use `agent-browser` for
testing, use @builder for all changes writing editing and testing.

One of the well worded shitty messages I’ve seen, good severance, help, timeline to cut off coms.

we’re not making this decision because we’re in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we’re already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that’s accelerating rapidly.

Much better than the get rid of people cause AI can do the work. Honestly I feel this though. I was just talking with some colleages how do we divvy work in the age of agents without just constantly walking on each other. If each of us is now an architect who is managing teams of junior agents under us it feels MUCH different than before.

I’m far from working in a large software org like this and I’m feeling it. I only imagine that it gets worse the more people that have to orchestrate around each other.

Appreciate the honesty and transparance, but man this sucks for those impacted and the job market right now.

Learned about this one from the @stipete interview @scotthanselman did on YouTube. This is proof that the internet is alive. It’s such web 1.0 nostalgia to see that people can just build things! Did you know that you can literally just build things and make them exist? You don’t need users, You don’t need a big platform, you can just make something into existance. It seems like something we have forgotten through web 2.0 where everything as become 4 major apps all linking to each other and trying to hoard all of the attention. Scroll through tehre are some really cool apps, probably nothing that has the polish you want, or is going to change your world. What these apps have more than anything you’ve probably used in the recent years, is inspiration. Its xyz, but the way I wanted, or with my little twist. And no one else has to like it but me because I’m the user.

Reply guy

The latest scourge of Twitter is AI bots that reply to your tweets with generic, banal commentary slop, often accompanied by a question to "drive engagement" and waste as much …

If I can make it smaller, I should.

I had no idea there were such things as “reply guy” as a service. I can see this as a really genuine thing where brands want to genuinely engage with their communities, quickly being taken over by slop bros to ruin everything.

double gutter

2026-02-14T09:12:42Z

I keep forgetting about the double gutter problem with nested containers. When you put padding on a parent and the child also has padding, you get twice the spacing you wanted.

The Problem #

.container {
  padding: 2rem;
}

.child {
  padding: 2rem;
}

Now your content is 4rem from the edge. Not what I meant at all.

The Fix #

Either remove padding from the parent or use box-sizing: border-box and plan for it. I usually just drop the parent padding when I realize what I have done.

Pm Not Babysitter

2026-02-06T14:04:25Z

Stop babysitting your agents, treat them like a real team and they will reward you.

Back in December I saw theo make a comment that code is now cheap, its the run rate of models, He quoted a study, not sure that he fully even believed it, but it claimed that the average developer after all meetings, training, emails, planning and extra shit in their day averages out 10 well tested lines of code per day. Opus 3.5 made him 10k loc (lines of code) that day.

We have all agreed for decades that lines of code is not a proxy to productivity or quality. Often more code means more risk, more review, more infrastructure. This has become MUCH different. Lines of code are still far from any sort of good metric. That aside, your agents are not doing 10k lines with you babysitting them, and in fact its very likely that the product quality is MUCH worse as you babysit them.

You need a tool for planning and tracking, otherwise you are playing babysitter rather than Product Manager (PM).

You see I generally use argo, but occasionally I have no idea what I am doing or want yet and I start raw doggin it, fully aware that I’m going to just nuke this namespace before getting it into a proper argocd.

I was overjoyed when I found out that you can diff your manifests with live production using the kubectl diff command. It uses standard diff so you can bring all your fancy diff viewers you like.

# regular manifest
kubectl diff -f k8s/shots -n shot
# kustomize
kubectl diff -k k8s -n go-waylonwalker-com
# using a fancy diff viewer
kubectl diff -f k8s/shots -n shot | delta
# using an even fancier diff viewer
# pinkies out for this one
kubectl diff -f k8s/shots -n shot | delta --diff-so-fancy

Now I can get those changes back that I thought I lost, and apply updates with confidence knowing what is about to change.

Not surprising theirs a lag, between the models getting better, the tools getting better, and the masses getting better at using them, it takes time. This is still quite a hockey stick. I’m wondering how many are not posting on Show HN embarrassed they built something they know nothing about and afraid to get questions. I have no idea how anyone would get this ratio, but if I were a betting man, Id bet the ratio of build/show went way up. Plus we are probably getting a ton of people who have never heard of HN start building cool bespoke things for themselves and thats it, they use it, they love it, they might tell/show a friend.

Agent Management Is Exhausting

2026-01-26T14:38:35Z

The state of development in early 2026 is all wrapped around learning how to manage many agents running in parallel. Everyone’s trying to figure out the workflow.

The Plan Is Everything #

The secret I’ve discovered is a good, well-defined plan. This could be a markdown file or a GitHub issue. Agents are actually great at writing these for you. They’ll include reproduction steps, outline changes needed, and structure the work.

This is your opportunity to step in. Read the plan. Look for hallucinations. Spot where it’s going off track. Edit the plan before the agent starts coding.

I had one today where it laid out reproduction steps beautifully, but I could add context about network requests that completely changed the approach. This editing phase is what most people are missing right now. Skip it and you’ll watch your agent solve the wrong problem with impressive efficiency.

The Pace Problem #

Here’s what nobody warned me about: managing these things is exhausting.

Depending on the day, agents move so damn fast. I can barely research, find, and raise issues as fast as Claude can implement features and fixes. It’s like trying to speedrun a Minecraft seed when you just figured out how to craft a pickaxe.

A Different Kind of Work #

This stretches a different part of my brain than I’m used to using. I’m learning new skills around:

Issue tracking and management at high velocity
Knowing which models handle which tasks best
Spotting when a session is about to go sideways from context bloat or bad compaction

I had a session yesterday where the context got poisoned with a wrong assumption. The agent spent 20 minutes building on that false premise before I caught it. That’s 20 minutes of perfectly executed code solving the wrong problem entirely.

Worth It, But Hard #

I’m not going to hype-bro you and say this is easy or that you’re wrong to be skeptical. If you have the opportunity to work with agents, it’s worth learning proper techniques.

It’s not easy. It requires actual management skills, not just prompting skills. And yeah, I’m tired.

Stop Using Boomer Ai

2026-01-26T13:12:29Z

I was listening to these guys talk about migrating off of boomer ai the other day. Introducing the term boomer ai to describe using chat, copy, paste instead of agents. Something magical happened to the tooling and models around december, they got really good. The chatgpt $20 plan hooked into opencode is good, the Free models in Opencode Zen (Big Pickle and Kimi K2.5 Free) are really good. Neither of these quite match up to the speed and quality of the larger plans, but they are good. good enough to throw away your boomer ai techniques and start using agents. Agents are the future, and they are here now. If you are still using chat, copy, paste, you are doing it wrong. Stop using boomer ai and start using agents. You will be amazed at how much better your results will be.

format markdown with mdformat

2026-01-19T20:41:14Z

I really wish I would have got this right a few years ago. Theres a couple of flags I had to use to get mdformat to do hard wraps at 80 characters and not wreck tables. This mix of flags and plugins is workign really well for me so far.

mdfmt() {
    uvx \
        --with "mdformat-ruff" \
        --with "mdformat-beautysh" \
        --with "mdformat-web" \
        --with "mdformat-config" \
        --with "mdformat-gfm" \
        --with "mdformat-front-matters" \
        --with "mdformat-wikilink" \
        --with "mdformat-simple-breaks" \
        mdformat \
        --wrap 80 \
        --end-of-line lf \
        --codeformatters python \
        --codeformatters bash \
        "$@"
}

And as pre-commmit.

This post was filled with real life, snark, entertainment, feelings. I get a lot of these emails that claim they can change my SEO game if I give them 500, for a site making 0, Link partnerships from small startups. A lot of these are so automated that if I do respond I dont even get a response. I’ve responded to many simply asking what is this about, I get 10 others just like you a week. Can you tell me what exactly you want and what each of us benefit from it, how did you find me. All normal questions, they almost always result in crickets, no response, maybe its time to implement a Billie for more snark.

Dont Trust Users Tokens

2026-01-14T19:49:43Z

User states: Upon picking up an old project and trying to install pip says “cannot find a version to satisfy”

I’ve got this, I’ve had this a hundred times before it’s a python version, a rogue package, maybe a yank from the pinned deps. I pop open the project get us on the same commit. I get a different error, make a few updates and we are good, except the user gets the same error from the start.

They never saw the error I did, and my fix did not magically resolve their error. We circle all the things it could be for hours. I consistently wipe my venv, and recreate with ease, send them the commands I ran to no avail. Something is up and I can’t put my finger on it. We’ve checked all the things and inched as close as we can to running everything exactly the same.

Os
python version
Network vpn
uv version

Nothing makes any sense. Finally I throw in the towel, is it the artifact server. I forge a token and give him one to borrow.

BAM it works, like magic. The first sign of progress. Then he mentions.

Huh that’s odd cause I just got mine this morning

Failing to mention this any earlier that getting a new token for a service and it completely borked it! I get it though, the error was very oddly presented and not easy to see why

There it was all along, looking back in the logs I see his redacted token going to the wrong registry. One that does not include our packages, everything makes sense now. The reason it couldn’t find a version to satisfy was not a python version, os version, package conflict, it was that it couldn’t find a fucking version of the thing to begin with.

All this to say, don’t trust users tokens, save your time and just get fresh ones with them.

if you read this it’s all cool, like I said it’s all part of the job, no harsh feelings, at least we got a good story out of it right!

opencode variants

2026-01-13T08:53:36Z

Opencode is changing on the daily right now, today I noticed the word low pop up in Orange text in my opencode window. Looking into this they are exposing variants to the user. This allows you to change between fast or slow and thinking, the later taking more time to prepare before doing an action.

It looks like this toggle may have been here for awhile and I’m just now discovering it. Potentially because its a new feature of the free Zen provider.

Variants Many models support multiple variants with different configurations. OpenCode ships with built-in default variants for popular providers.

Built-in variants OpenCode ships with default variants for many providers:

Anthropic:

high - High thinking budget (default) max - Maximum thinking budget OpenAI:

Varies by model but roughly:

none - No reasoning minimal - Minimal reasoning effort low - Low reasoning effort medium - Medium reasoning effort high - High reasoning effort xhigh - Extra high reasoning effort Google:

low - Lower effort/token budget high - Higher effort/token budget

The answer is I do it habitually. If there’s a big enough idea I’ve had floating around in my head and I think others might find it useful / interesting then I usually think it’s worth logging it somewhere. If I don’t, I’ll likely just keep thinking about it so might as well get it out of my head and on the internet where people can find it.

This is how you do it. If you want to do something, you need to make it a habit. Something you crave, something you need. I need to write my ideas down in this blog, it helps me index ideas for later, but more importantly it helps me flesh them out and think through real things.

Don’t fall into the anti-AI hype

I'm glad someone was brave enough to say this. There is a lot of anti-AI sentiment in the software development community these days. Much of it is justified, but if …

An open source diff and file rendering library by The Pierre Computer Company.

Never believe in absolutes, see what I did there. The hype bros will take you to the extremes, ai will take your jobs in six months or be burned to the ground in six months. How about its useful now and will be more useful in six months. If you turned off the hype bro feed for six months you would probably be fine, in fact you would probably be better off for not capturing so much noise along the way. AI has gone the way of next js framework, it churns fast, hype bros are always an expert that know exactly whats best for everyone. It changes fast, what was the best last week might be dead next week. In fact getting to know what works well for you and knowing that tool really well for a longer period will take you farther.

Salesforce gets pwnd by the ai hype bros and killed its reputation with employees, letting them know where they truely stand with them. 4k people sounds like a lot, its probably a big chunk of savings, but was it worth the loss of reputation? There must be a better way to give this a trial run that lets them understand this before disrupting the lives of real people right???

Looking for all posts tagged with ai see [[ tag/ai ]]

Ai is a tool I use a lot for code generation, research, image generation, and debugging. The words I publish on this site are my own unless explicitly stated from the top. There’s only one or two posts in this category.

Words are mine #

The core of what this blog is, is my thoughts ideas, sharing experiences. The words are the important part. They are not perfect, I often do not spell or grammer check, and what is here is from a flow state of writing and very often not refactored.

No AI unless explicitly stated

code gen #

Up till around 2023 all of the code to create the site was hand written by me. I have my own site generator that I maintain markata.

From 2023 through 2025 snippets of code, sometimes entire plugins or modules were created in chat apps like chatgpt. There was no agentic coding, windsurf, cursor, claude code, opencode, none of it. It was all integrated into the site by hand.

Starting around Dec 2025 I was finding freely available agents through tools like opencode to be more and more useful, making less mistakes, doing better at getting context and making changes. The flow is relying on heavy planning and issue reporting.

image gen #

I really got into stable diffusion as it came out. I thought it was fascinating to generate different kinds of images of things that I would otherwise have no ability to create, for a long time I was generating images for every post. I’ve moved on from doing it for every post, but still do it occasionally.

I’m not an artist, sometimes I like to include art that I would not otherwise be able to. Most of the art you see on a post is AI generated, and may not be called out.

Techbrophobic #

I feel this term strongly. I find ai tooling useful, but the industry and hype bros bring a bad taste.

The tools do not not do everything right, you still have to think, watch its output. You have to put the work in to do proper software engineering. Its not a magic pill, but it has the ability to implement ideas, plans, very quickly.

Also the whole industry creeps me out. The theft that happened to get here was wrong. AI shovoled into everything as slop sucks. The stock market pump is sus.

I thought this was an interesting take from Simon. I’ve been hearing him consistently say there will be more demand for software engineering in the future. More companies will have the ability and need to deal with software applications, but fewer of us will be hand editing any code. I thought this was an interesting interaction in the clip.

Uh Simon, what do you got for us?

I’ve just got the one. I think the act

of the the the job of being paid money to type code into a computer Yeah.

will go the same way as punching punch cards.

Okay.

I do I think in

six years time I do not think it will anyone will be paid to 80:56 just do the thing where you type the code.

Just type the code. Okay.

I think software engineering will still be an enormous career. I just think the software engineers won’t be spending multiple hours of their day in a text editor typing out syntax. 81:09

It will look like punching cards. I think so. Yeah.

Yeah. Interesting. In uh in six years. Um and but software engineering still very much exists.

I believe so. I I hope so. [laughter] I very much hope so because I think

the um the challenge of being a software 81:23 engineer is not remembering

how if what what if what for loops look like. It is understanding what computers can do and how to turn fuzzy human requirements into actual like working software. And that’s that’s what we’re for. And I think we’ll still be doing that just a lot more of it in a lot more ambitious scale.

And then Okay. Do you Does the software engineer though deals with code? I mean they I mean the code is being written.

I think they probably look at it occasionally.

Okay. Only occasionally a little bit. So I met 81:53

Who debugs it?

Um I I hate to say it, the agents debug it themselves.

Okay. Who debugs your device driver that either works or doesn’t? I like

Og-Sample

2026-01-09T08:19:29Z

I’m making an effort to make my og images better yet again, I’m going for that next 10% better. I really like my og images, but there are some title sizes that overflow. This page is a page to help debug. How I make these og images is for another day.

Script #

I use my own static site generator markata. I can use it to generate a list of posts wrapped in their og image. I use itertools to do a groupby so that I can do roughly every 5 characters larger, and see a wide variety of sizes.

from markata import Markata
from itertools import groupby

markata = Markata()
lens = [{'length': len(post.title), 'title': post.title, 'slug': post.slug} for post in m.posts]
lens_sorted = sorted(lens, key=lambda x: x["length"])

groups = {
    k: list(g)
    for k, g in groupby(lens_sorted, key=lambda x: (x["length"] // 5) * 5)
}

posts = [g[0] for g in groups.values()]
ogs = [ f'[![{post["title"]}](https://shots.waylonwalker.com/shot/?url=https://waylonwalker.com/{ post["slug"] }/og/&height=600&width=1200&scaled_width=1200&scaled_height=600&format=jpg&v=4)](https://waylonwalker.com/{ post["slug"] }/og/)' for post in posts]
print("\n\n".join(ogs))

OG-Sample #

shots #

I also do Posts tagged: shots posts that change the og template quite a bit by adding the image to the page. I’ll do the same script, but add a filter to the images.

from markata import Markata
from itertools import groupby

markata = Markata()
lens = [{'length': len(post.title), 'title': post.title, 'slug': post.slug} for post in m.filter('templateKey=="shots" and "family" not in tags')]
lens_sorted = sorted(lens, key=lambda x: x["length"])

groups = {
    k: list(g)
    for k, g in groupby(lens_sorted, key=lambda x: (x["length"] // 5) * 5)
}

posts = [g[0] for g in groups.values()]
ogs = [ f'[![{post["title"]}](https://shots.waylonwalker.com/shot/?url=https://waylonwalker.com/{ post["slug"] }/og/&height=600&width=1200&scaled_width=1200&scaled_height=600&format=jpg&v=4)](https://waylonwalker.com/{ post["slug"] }/og/)' for post in posts]

2026 Resolutions

2026-01-08T10:48:12Z

It’s that time of year, Coming back to work out of a big break and thinking about big changes.

Daily Notes #

Keep up with daily notes, maybe not here, I tend to have more targeted notes here with full blog posts, but for work daily notes is POG and needs to be leaned on. LLM’s do really good at ingesting markdown and reminding me of things that I need to do, or did, or need to follow up on.

Reader #

Social media is changing, quickly becoming enshitified, I enjoy interacting with some of the people I’ve met online, reading their opinions, and learning from their experiences. I don’t need their hot takes, don’t care about their political takes. I like boring posts that typically fade out of whats picked up on the algorithm. I like a good 5-10 minute read or a long form podcast talk. I will be aggressively collecting more rss feeds to read and keep up with.

(Neo)Vim #

I’ve had these bad habits in my config for years, from day one of using vim. It’s time to kill these. jjgww. I killed them this morning, we will see how long I keep typing out jj all over my editor before I fix it mentally.

-- bad habits
vim.keymap.set("i", "jj", "<esc>")
vim.keymap.set("i", "jk", "<esc>")
vim.keymap.set("i", "JJ", "<esc>")
vim.keymap.set("i", "jJ", "<esc>")
vim.keymap.set("i", "Jj", "<esc>")

Tip

I need to lean on <C-o> a little more to run single commands in normal mode from insert mode. The pattern that is hitting me hard right now is jjgwwA insert mode, format, insert at end of line.

Distrobox #

I was a heavy user of distrobox as my primary dev environment on Bazzite and I need to get back there. I have a lot of stuff installed on this current system. I’ve been sloppy. I am not sure I was planning on staying on arch/hyprland long, I did it to do it with my son, his got borked a month ago and he is back to bazzite, I think I’ll be back there and want to be ready to float freely between distros.

clean dotfiles
work from a distrobox image that I make
keep working projects backed up

Vibe Coding #

Agents are the future, people that I really trust are on both sides of the argument. Some saying they stopped coding months ago and claude does everything for them. Some in between, some are completely against.

It feels like the tooling has really taken off over the past few months, the models are getting better, but not at the same rate they were. The tools are really making this possible.

My experience is quite mixed, I’m often impressed with what it does, and appalled at how bad it does other things. I just want it to do what I mean with the fewest words possible. I’ve been working on deeper plans more and more, still with mixed results. With larger plans the models seem to do more work, but still not getting that great experience every time.

I really need to get my workspaces workflow down, have models working in a separate workspace, and be willing to throw away shit code quickly and try again from another angle.

The future is a deep understanding on what needs to be done, how do to it, and not the syntax. The tools are getting better. You need to know less and less about them, less and less about models as the auto routers get better. The core skills of architecture, design, and implementation are more important than ever.

Last year I was able to vibe out some POC work, but still not letting the agents touch my production code. It wasn’t there for me, I probably did not have access to the really good stuff either. Now I think what I have access to is catching up to Claude.

sandbox them
quick to POC
quick to move on from broken attempts
learn to lead
learn to let go of syntax opinions
learn what makes good products/tools/apis hold the vibes to this.

There’s something here, very respectable people are betting on this, but its not working for me, I don’t think I have the right tools. I already have it a day, and got a few hundred LOC out while theo is claiming opus can do 10k.

Not Everything will be a side hustle #

I’ve tried to start too many side hustles, none of them work out. Thinking of them as a side hustle steals the joy of the hobby. I have too much going on outside of work for adding things like this not to add stress to already stressful situations, I need to reduce stress and find the joy and happiness in side projects and not turn everything into something more.

Keebs #

This one is fresh on the mind only because I just built out a new keyboard for work. I want to have a good robust build at home, work, and potentially have a good backup. I have a good design that is very cheap and fairly easy to build, but is quite time consuming. I am going to put some work in early this year to get a couple of clones.

More Offline #

Looking back at 2025, I actually did fairly well of doing a bit more offline. It’s been a hard transition out of pandemic times for our family, we had a lot of extra health precautions that lasted longer than most other people.

This year I should do more of this. More bike rides, more skate, more basement hangouts, more art.

New dart board in the basement

More creativity. I designed and built fingerboard obstacles to work like legos with 3/4" plywood last November.

More building

More bike rides, fewer nice days wasted, they are relaxing and get good energy out.

💭 There's an Actual Reason You Can't Recycle Plastic - YouTube

2026-01-08T03:16:18Z

In all of the documentaries I’ve seen on how hard it is to recycle plastic, how hard it is to separate all the small pieces from each other, how expensive it is, dirty it is, how just plain ineffective we are at doing it I’ve never seen this angle. In a nutshell the other side of the equation is that as we pull natural gas out of shale is that we pull ethylene out as a byproduct. We don’t even ask for it, it just comes with the methane gas that we are going for. So as we drill, Frack, and mine this out to heat our homes and create electricity we are stuck with all of this ethylene. It’s terrible for the environment, just like methane it’s a rough greenhouse gas. Companies are allowed to flare off a certain amount, they can push some down the pipe, but are still left with tons leftover that they practically give away. Turns out that this stuff is very cheap and very much wants to be turned into plastic. Very clean food grade plastic, very easily and cheaply compared to recycling. Excess is a big problem that needs solutions, but it has hard problems at both ends of the situation that don’t make it easy for anyone trying to take care of it.

Something that everyone laughs at turns their nose up “ppft I don’t need that” the first time they see it, but once they try people get it, and a lot of them like it and keep it. But its something that no one really wants to pay for, no matter how big of products get built on it. As we see more and more features coming to css, its not stopping, the work will always be there. I really hope to see something happen to tailwind to keep it afloat. massive growth and revenue down 80% does not help.

Photoshop for text

Steph Ango · stephango.com

While the non deterministic nature of llms scare the heck out of me in the sense of just cutting it loose on my writing. letting it go through all of my files and just edit them. I do like the idea of mundane tools like “desaturate”, “Gaussian blur”, evolving out of it for text. I don’t yet see this with the tools we have now, but it will be interesting to see them evolve.

Steph Ango · stephango.com

file over app is a fantastic philosophy laid out well and concisely documented very well in this post. The idea is that tools will change, we will want to use different tools, different editors, different computers over time. What’s likely to outlast everything is plain text files that we can interact with a wide variety of tools. Not encrypted in dedicated formats that die with our tools, but in plain text where a computer from 2160 is likey as capable of reading the file as one from 1960 would be.

light mode screen recording css

2026-01-02T10:29:10Z

Yesterday I wrote about a way to do light mode screen recording to convert to light mode from dark mode with ffmpeg. I was wondering if it could be done entirely on the front end for web applications. Turns out you can. I’m sure there are limited wikis and site builders that don’t allow adding style like this, but it works if you can.

💭 RAM Prices Are Getting Worse - YouTube

2025-12-24T02:34:55Z

I actually like linus’s take here. My parents dropped $4k (~$8k in todays money) on a computer when I was a kid, (which turned into something too $$ to let me touch at that point). I played some educational games that no one else has heard of and I’ve long forgotten along with an early ciivilization game. It was e-waste in 2 years we maybe kept it 5, and it was barely working. Contrast this to my PC now I spent $2k on 3 years ago refurb from 2017, and it has no signs of age from me, does everything I need it to. Ram crisis sucks, the outright reason behind it sucks. But on the bright side you can still get a baller build for less than you could late 90s without inflation. The industry is not there for consumers right now, we had better times, but its still not bad times. Keep the hope alive that good times will come.

💭 Using stderr/stdout correctly - YouTube

2025-12-22T15:35:30Z

Yeah there’s some basics, you know things you might expect like using standard error and standard out correctly. One thing I’ll say on that because I think this is commonly misunderstood, standard error is not for errors, it’s for any information that isn’t part of the normal output. So you know often times that’s warnings and errors, but it might just be progress information. You know anytime that you just need to have something go to the user that’s what it’s there for." (6:15 - 6:42)

I’ve definitely done this sin in my own tooling before, and it does make things harder to use. I think I still take err/out at face value. I really like the translation Jeff gave here, one is for normal output, i.e. what the user asked for and the other is extra information. So if I wanted to list something and pipe it into something else, stdout only captures the list, thats it. if you have a bunch of information about config warnings, showing environment, are you sure questions, none of that is captured.

Developer Vs Artist Ai

2025-12-19T09:44:00Z

The other day I was watching [thePrimeTimeagen]https://youtube.com/@theprimetimeagen?si=jVcp23FbfQSFZfDc) and he talked about devs loving ai and artists revolting. There was some discussion in chat about art being more creative and prime quickly squashed that. He ended with being oddly confused why developers are jumping on board and artists are not. Both had their art stolen to build out the models.

my own vibes

I'm writing this from my phone without further research, all vibes, personal experience, and thoughts,  no research.

Good Tools #

First I want to argue that artists have had some form of ai in their tools for years. Idk, probably not ai as we know it today but functionally similar. Content aware fill. This is a Photoshop feature from Adobe, as far as I know it’s one of the special things you get from Adobe that you don’t get from the FOSS alternatives easily.

This is an example of a good took that is well loves by the community and widely used, if you put ai in it to make it better no one would care, if it made things look oddly ai it would get rejected.

taking the brush #

Here is the critical difference that I see between the communities. Software development has made great tools for itself in a wide spectrum, from hands off vibe code no code to better auto complete. There’s something for everyone and every situation. This feels very obvious the minute you try to look at how to do it. In fact we started with better autocomplete. This autocomplete is really good at recognizing patterns in your document and continuing your current thought for you.

Art is a complete 180. It started with prompt engineering. Hands off let the tool do everything, you do nothing but prompt it. If it’s wrong reprompt. Diffusion is the worst because it generates completely new results every time nothing like what you had before. The newer stuff from openai and nano banana are not diffusion and do much better text and edits, but it’s not the same.

hands off is frustrating #

Anyone who has tried to get something specific from ai art or code gen without touching it themselves knows the frustration that you ask it to do one thing that takes 3 prompts to get it to understand what your asking and by the time it’s right it’s wrecked something else. It’s not fun, it’s soul sucking and ripe for meme content.

freedom of expression #

Software development has made a really good effort to make really great tools for itself. We have a wide spectrum that allow you to prototype fast, get something complex working in hours not month, but riddles with issues. Allowing us to get better scoped work from PMs who have put their hands on a semi working prototype. We have the ability to slice out parts and refactor with ease, and when things really matter we can right the code ourselves with ai there to take away the boilerplate repetition that finds it’s way into some modules.

I’m sure there is better ai art tools out there that allow artists to keep their brush in hand and enhance their skills, but I have not seen them. Ive seen in painting, but its not discoverable as it’s first experience, is hard to setup, might cost a lot, and doesn’t quite fit in to where you work with it. It’s still all or nothing prompt engineering, just a bit more focused in.

ai video #

I haven’t even thought much about things like sora throughout this. I can say for sure I’m enjoying editors for small time creators having the ability to throw in short clips to enhance the story. Especially for story telling style content that is impossible to get real video of, and would cost a fortune to build set, costume, and cast. It makes no sense for this scale. The McDonald’s and coke videos im on the fence on. They seem fine, they don’t feel inspiring, great, or terrible to me.

fin #

Developers naturally started with great tools here, and artist were given tools for developers to do art with, nothing tools for them.

Please tell me I’m wrong, artists have great tools you just haven’t seen them. I’d love to be wrong.

Lee Robinson migrated cursor.com off Sanity. He made good points. Here's what he missed.

Sanity.io · sanity.io

Such a good breakdown of the leerob article, that is hitting everywhere right now. Feels like sanity was just a bit late to getting things right and it would have just worked for them how leerob was trying to use it, but MCP sucked so he jumped.

Reading their loose descriptions of a CMS, its an interesting realization to realize I’m rolling my own cms. I kinda feel like theres a few inspiration features to take from here, but I have no regrets. As a developer I like being able to build my own tools, I like being able to search and edit from nvim, and not have to write GROQ queries, and transforms. There were some really good points here that as I get more and more content on my personal site, I do kinda feel it. I’m surprised there is not more tooling that does some of these things for piles of markdown.

pinning this to re-read later, feels like a lot of good tidbits here.

The Right Reasons To Run Kubernetes In Your Homelab

2025-12-10T09:48:14Z

Running kubernetes in your homelab is a fantastic way to learn, explore, express yourself, and run services that you use.

The Right Reasons To Run Kubernetes In Your Homelab #

There are not many

You want to learn kubernetes
You like kubernetes
You want to learn to scale

There are also The Wrong Reasons To Run Kubernetes In Your Homelab

You want to learn kubernetes #

Homelabbing is a such a great way to learn new skills, deploy real apps that you use. Create new custom apps for your specific use cases that no one else has. You should absolutely run kubernetes in your homelab if you want to learn it.

I would recommend to start locally, pull up kind, minikube, or k3d and start from your local machine before putting it on a server.

When you decide you are ready for a server, you probably don’t need any crazy hardware. You can probably run on some old retired Dell Optiplex or an old desktop someone is throwing out as it no longer runs windows.

You like kubernetes #

Hell Yeah Brother, 100% no better reason to run kubernetes at home than because you enjoy it. I’m with you. There’s nothing quite like having git ops kick in and deploy new services, updates, watching deployments rollover with zero downtime. Watching your cluster heal itself when a node goes down. Never ssh-ing in to do deployments. Still owning your entire hardware.

You want to learn to scale #

This is probably a stretch reason, maybe not a good one, there are probably better ways, but here we go.

Don’t claim that you need scale in your homelab, you don’t. But it sure is fun to run a cluster of nodes, and load balancing services that run across them. Solving these hard problems to scale across machines is hard. There’s no way around it, there’s a lot to think about. Doing so in a low stakes environment that you have skin in the game is a great way to learn.

I run kubernetes in my homelab #

I run it and I really like it

What flavor of autism did you guys get, I got the kind where I run kubernetes in my basement.

Here are some things I really like about it, and Yes I know you can achieve most of these without kubernetes.

I don’t have to ssh, hardly ever.
I can see everything I’m running, and its defined in a manifest
k9s is amazing, and I use it all the time.
- shell into running pods
- restart deployments
- scale deployments
- trigger cronjobs
- watch logs
- I can scale our minecraft server to 0 in seconds if we are in a different season of life
ArgoCD is amazing
- I ❤️ gitops
Ingress just works
Longhorn
- makes snapshots and backups easy
- makes multi node easy
zero-downtime deployments
self healing health checks

I mostly do very simple things, deployments with a container, a volume and ingress. Probably things that you could easily run on fly.io. Theres nothing really fancy. I just like how easy this setup works for me.

Not setting it causes slow downs and potential crashes, but setting INIT_MEMORY and MAX_MEMORY gives us the best of both worlds. It is allowed to use more, but does not gobble it all up on startup.

In this economy we need to save all the memory we can!

Here is a non-working snippet for a minecraft server deployment in kubernetes.

      containers:
        - name: dungeon
          image: itzg/minecraft-server
          env:
            - name: EULA
              value: "true"
            - name: INIT_MEMORY
              value: "512M"
            - name: MAX_MEMORY
              value: "3G"

💭 Why is Everyone So Wrong About AI Water Use?? - YouTube

2025-12-09T14:39:18Z

I did not realize all the places to be considered as AI water usage. Hank goes deep highlighting all of the sources he is aware of, most reports leave off a lot of these sources, some reports go maybe too far adding sources that may not make sense depending on the question you are asking.

As someone that runs computers with gpus in their house, and watching LTT make AIO installs on GPUs I’ve wondered what would AI use water for, now I understand that its a lot. No where near agriculture, but a lot.

Unlike running a gpu in your house, potentially with a closed loop AIO, data centers are filled with hardware making heat and it all must go somewhere. Current technology has this done with evaporative cooling, i.e. its not a closed loop, the water goes into the sky.

He goes on to point out that its not just the data center, using water, but also chip fab and power plants.

Something I hadn’t put a lot of thought into is the type of water. While a lot of agriculture and power applications do not use municipal water, a lot of data centers do, putting excess strain on water treatment.

Something I find interesting is that Altman is doing the same thing here that he does on his financial numbers. Stating they use almost nothing on inference. Missing training, missing training for models that turned out to be a flop and never made it anywhere, but they learned how to make better models from it. Missing chip fab, construction, transportation, and power. The way report numbers bases on a small subset of their entire business feels wrong.

Anyways Hank does a great job at saying this is not a simple answer, its complicated. Things are moving so fast that its hard to be accurate, its hard for infrastructure to keep up. There’s a lot more to think about than the water use on a single query.

Deprecations via warnings don’t work for Python libraries

Age verification hitting bluesky?? At least its not yet requiring your govt issued id or anything, but stepping that direction. I don’t know how I feel about age checks, does it actually protect kids when parents aren’t involved? I can’t say anything there, but it really does feel like its about ready to hurt the rest of us, requiring us to whip out ids and personal data for anything done online. This is a real problem that is hard to solve, and reasons why it has not been solved yet.

A quote from Claude

snow-fall Web Component—zachleat.com

damn this is a rough one. A users entire home directory removed by claude code from an rm command.

rm -rf tests/ patches/ plan/ ~/

Reading the first half of that command it LGTM. If you had approved rm, you are hosed. If this is inside a larger script its running, you really gotta read close. This one still feels pretty obvious, but I can imagine some bash doing some nasty things I miss if I read it and understand it let alone glance at it.

I’ll take this as a reminder that I really need to be paying full-ass attention to agents, and moving towards a better sandbox for them, something in docker, maybe something like distrobox that is a magic wrapper over podman that just gives you the things you need for what it does. Something that starts up with access to start web servers, run agentic cli of choice, see project, git commit. It feels like the right thing has a lot of what distrobox does, but distrobox has too much and would be prone to this using it as I’ve used it in the past.

One Year Of Shots

I’ve been running my shot scraper api for a year now. It creates og images for my website and thumbnails for my [[ reader ]] using a headless chrome instance.

25870 shots
73 shots per day on average

Histogram #

a histogram of shot counts by day

You can see in the histogram that I’ve had a few big spike days, This has been mostly for days that I’ve integrated into a new service or changed the endpoint. On February 13, 2025 I swapped over from using the post to using template specific to open graph images.

-content = "https://shots.waylonwalker.com/shot/?url={{ config.url }}{{ post.slug }}&height=600&width=1200&scaled_width=1200&scaled_height=600"

curl -o static/snow-fall.js https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zachleat/snow-fall/refs/heads/main/snow-fall.js

I generally save it in my justfile so that I remember how I got it and how to update…. yaya I could use npm, but I don’t for no build sites.

get-snowfall:
    curl -o static/snow-fall.js https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zachleat/snow-fall/refs/heads/main/snow-fall.js

Usage #

Now add the component to your page.

<!-- This belongs somewhere inside <head> -->
<script type="module" src="snow-fall.js"></script> <!-- Adjust the src to your path -->

<!-- This belongs somewhere inside <body> -->
<!-- Anything before will be below the snow. -->

check your kubeconfig expire time

2025-12-08T20:59:27Z

Today I learned an important lesson that you should periodically check on your kubeconfigs expiration date. It’s easy to do. You can ask for the client-certificate-data from your kubeconfig, decode it, and use openssl to get the expiration date.

kubectl config view --raw -o jsonpath='{.users[0].user.client-certificate-data}' \
  | base64 -d 2>/dev/null \
  | openssl x509 -noout -dates

Note

This will only work for the first user, if you have more than one user or context defined in your kubeconfig you will need to adjust.

There is a possibility here that Valve could ship with their unique hardware, (apu, psu, case, ports, networking) and let you bring your own ssd and ram from an old device that you might not use anymore. I love this idea. At the same time it feels like entering the star wars universe where there are no more new manufacturing and everything is cobbled together from old hardware made long ago.

The industry sucks, it smells off, we know a lot wrong with it, it feels like theres a lot more wrong than we know. But the tools that its making are really good when used in the right ways. They are not a replacement for anything, they are assistive. They can lift someone from not knowing how to code to making a small webapp for their use. Someone who wants to write backend and give them a decent front end, someone who whats to write front end and give them a decent backend.

Great take from someone with more experience than most can ever dream of having, worth a listen.

The Wrong Reasons To Run Kubernetes In Your Homelab

2025-12-06T09:46:47Z

Running kubernetes in your homelab is complex, time consuming, there are almost no docs to help you (homelab focused docs for things you want to install), and nothing is copy paste. You have to make everything happen yourself.

The Wrong Reasons To Run Kubernetes In Your Homelab #

I run compose and think kubernetes is the next logical step
Techno Tim runs it
I heard it’s what cool kids do
Kubernetes BTW
Talos Linux looks cool
I found a cool helm chart on GitHub
I need scale

There are also The Right Reasons To Run Kubernetes In Your Homelab.

I run compose and think kubernetes is the next logical step #

No it’s not. It’s much different than running docker, compose, swarm. It’s meant for scale, it’s complex, it’s made for enterprise, not your local development or your homelab. It can do these things, it can do them quite well, but it’s not the target audience.

Techno Tim runs it #

I heard it’s what cool kids do

You need to rethink who the cool kids are, touch some grass. Tim also does it for his job, he likes it, he knows it, he wants to lean on it and learn more.

Kubernetes BTW #

Kubernetes does not make you look cool, it makes you look like you are trying to over optimize and over engineer your life. It’s not worth it, in fact nothing in life is worth worrying about what everyone else thinks of you.

Talos Linux looks cool #

Talos is an S tier OS wherever you deploy it. It is a secure, minimal, kubernetes first OS. They also have some really great people working there putting Talos in some really cool places like backpack or Apple Power Mac

I found a cool helm chart on GitHub #

No you didn’t. Everything in homelab is compose first. A few things have a k8s option, but almost nothing is k8s first.

I need scale #

No. You’re homelab does not need scale. If you think it does, you have some real shit hardware, some bad optimizations, or somehow you have a startup you need to launch cause you got more users than most.

k3s system-upgrade minor by minor

2025-12-05T09:25:39Z

The k3s system-upgrade controller is a fantastic tool for upgrading k3s automatically. It has done a fantastic job for me every time I’ve used it. Today I ran it on a cluster that needed to upgrade several minors and I learned that the controller does not pick up on changes to the channel url if you change from minor to minor.

The solution I came up with was to name the plan with the version it supports. Then on each patch upgrade, change both the plan name and the channel. I use gitops with argocd, it automcatically cleaned up old plans, created new plans, and the system-upgrade-controller picked up the plan and started applying immediately.

# Server plan
apiVersion: upgrade.cattle.io/v1
kind: Plan
metadata:
  name: server-plan-v1.33 # <- This is important if you want to change the channel name
  namespace: system-upgrade
spec:
  concurrency: 1
  cordon: true
  nodeSelector:
    matchExpressions:
    - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane
      operator: In
      values:
      - "true"
  serviceAccountName: system-upgrade
  upgrade:
    image: rancher/k3s-upgrade
  channel: https://update.k3s.io/v1-release/channels/v1.33
---
# Agent plan
apiVersion: upgrade.cattle.io/v1
kind: Plan
metadata:
  name: agent-plan-v1.33 # <- This is important if you want to change the channel name
  namespace: system-upgrade
spec:
  concurrency: 1
  cordon: true
  nodeSelector:
    matchExpressions:
    - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane
      operator: DoesNotExist
  prepare:

  serviceAccountName: system-upgrade
  upgrade:
    image: rancher/k3s-upgrade
  channel: https://update.k3s.io/v1-release/channels/v1.33

I’d love to see a better way if you have a way to upgrade through minors, or manually control the minor of your cluster let me know.

GPU’s are awesome. I just added gpu support to my bambu-studio distrobox and its flying! On my wayland based system the native package has never worked, (arch or bazzite), but running in a distrobox does. Outside of distrobox the 3d rendering canvas is black, no output. It used to work fine without gpu support, was snappy enough, complex models were a bit sluggish, but fine. Lately something happened and simple models bring it to its knees. It got unusable!

Next to that is a firehose of shit piling back into the circular snakes mouth as all of your data flows freely between any company that can get their hands on it.

This looks like great prototyping tool for k8s. I too often ask ai to get me going with the things I need. I’ve used k8s long enough that I can generally remember all the things I need, roughly where they go, would probably forget a few things and need to iterate, but I cannot remember exactly what goes where and need examples at a minimum. I need to give this a go from desktop and see if it will work for me. Right now looking through mobile looks promising.

Another Big Cloud Outage Nov 2025

2025-11-18T18:39:00Z

Today I woke up to finding out that cloudflare hade a widespread outage. My [[Reader]] uses tailwind cdn for styles and it was down. Otherwise it was not so impactful to me and felt kike they were quick to have it up.

I’m not really researching here, just jotting thoughts down from a parking lot waiting for pickup.

It feels like we are seeing a lot of these lately. They feel much more frequent. It feels like a whole industry was sold on 9’s and reliability of big cloud that we just aren’t getting.

There’s a huge push to go back to self hosting, racking and stacking. I think this is great. I love it. I’m a big proponent for ownership and self hosting. It’s not the right move for everything and everyone, and is certainly not something to make a knee jerk reaction about in the moment of frustration.

There’s a lot of things that are just impossible to do yourself, cdn caching, edge compute, ddos protection.

These companies are not magic they are vulnerable to changes just like you and I. It really feels like more and more of these are due to misconfigurations, and small bugs introduced. As we see big tech downsize and lean more on ai that likes to do big code changes I dont see it getting better soon. Theres a lot of things we can all armchair quarterback about here, better testing, review, canary deployment, staged rollouts, rigorous review. All great things. I can hear Uncle Bob talking about rigor, giving a shit, and following principles.

We are at odds of reliability and speed. This critical infrastructure runs so many important things in our lives it feels like it deserves a professional engineer signoff on changes. Documentation of changes and testing done between changes. This would all but hault forward progress, taking us back to the level of physical components and manufacturing.

How do you decide what needs this rigor and how to regulate it when companies are incentized by number go up.

The answer right now is that we can’t and if you are managing critical infrastructure you need to take these outages into account in your disaster recovery plan and understand what you are willing to allow go down on failure.

Prime points out that the agentic is prompt injected itself😂. Rather than making a better os experience it’s assuming you are stupid and need everything done for you. But what I don’t get here in the text scaling example. Why the F does it not just fix it for me. When I ask the machine to make text bigger it puts a flashy circle where to click. This is a one time setup for someone who gives no fucks to remember how to do it. Why is the machine doing this weird hand holding watching us do it’s work rather than just doing it? I like the pattern when you change display setting it gives you a counter that reverts everything if for some reason shit is so bad you can’t even see it. Do that, not this help me click bs.

Now in parallel we have steam making Linux desktop better and better. Allowing you to just access the hardware you own to do what you want to do with it.

Today I learned how to use AliasChoices with pydantic settings to setup common aliases for the same field. I’m bad about remembering these things, and hate looking up the docs. I like things to be intuitive and just do the thing I want it to do. Especially when they get configured through something like yaml and do not have a direct lsp look up right from my editor. I figured out how to support what might be common aliases for a storage directory. These can be set up as environment variables and used by config.

from pydantic import Field
from pydantic import AliasChoices
from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings

class Settings(BaseSettings):

Techbrophobic

2025-11-09T20:13:33Z

I just heard someone drop the this term and it kinda fits a lot of shit on the internet right now. Arguing that its OK to question AI, its OK to like it, its OK to question if it needs to be in every goddamn thing we do, question its morality on training and the slop being pushed at us all the time.

I’m not Technophobic I’m Techbrophobic

I heard this and it kinda hit with a lot of things that I’ve resonated with lately. Tech bros of today have been compared to Steve Jobs in a lot of ways. Whether its style or the way he was so good at marketing, but this feels different. When Jobs launched the iPhone as this next great thing, He fucking made the thing.

No broken promises of being sold something with hopes that it will do more tomorrow.

No pushing around insane amounts of money with the hope to become profitable years down the line.

No fear pushing that if you are not doing X today your business will be dead in 6 months.

Giving us the promise that it was about to create an entire industry of careers through building software that brought us real value, real entertainment, Not the promise of that.

This tech made it easier to do the mundane, no longer carrying out dated maps in your glove box, everyone now has a flashlight, a calculator, a camera, a way to video call your mom.

I’m not a complete Luddite, I see value in being able to lean on AI for generating code, asking questions, helping change the tone of your messages.

There are so many issues with AI currently even looking past the stolen works, copyright, and power consumption. The messaging does not pass the vibe check. High up folks are getting the impression that they can remove humans from the workforce. Deploy the same features with fewer headcount. It’s doing our art, writing our code, communicating with our colleagues. It’s not doing protein folding and cancer research. No matter how many promises we get its not driving our vehicles.

I do believe there is a world in which it makes us more efficient. It fills in the gaps of our knowledge. It helps us learn. It helps solve complex problems. It allows humans to flourish and create things they never could have.

Mcat Anything

2025-11-05T20:10:02Z

I’ve long looked for a way to cat anything in the terminal. I’m am terminally in the terminal. I manage all of my projects, code, website, notes, files, servers, infrastructure, almost everything from the terminal. I occasionally open a file manager, mostly at home, only so that I can browse images.

Compounding my issue, I’m a tmux user. It works great for me, and I barely have to think about it at this point. The keybindings are second nature to me. I can go between server, terminal, nvim, and between projects instantly, no loader, no lag, no animation, it just works for everything that really matters to me for really getting things done.

Mcat #

mcat is a new tool that seems like it can cat anything in the terminal, code, files, images, markdown, markdown with images, and even video, without leaving tmux!

But it doesn’t always work #

The keen eyed of you will notice the blank screen at the start of the demo above, not sure what happened, but resizing the terminal fixed something. Sometimes video comes up as an image, sometimes it core dumps, once even it crashed my system…

The hope is there, I’ll continue to use it occasionally, but right now it feels like a novelty that is fun to look at when it works. For now I’m going to stick to my kitty/tmux combo that works even though they seem to hate each other and I’m going to be happy just getting shit done.

Missing Thoughts

2025-11-05T07:23:35Z

No one is perfect, this is why we have things like checkpoints or gates in the form of pull requests, linting, type checking, and tests. What happens when you work on small side projects by yourself that try to be content focused? What happens when you end up building a lot of the tech under that site and build it on the bleeding edge of all the tech you make? They are likely missing these things and occasionally there are some periods of regression. This is one reason I really like the term digital garden to describe one’s small corner of the internet where they share their thoughts.

There will be regressions

The Signs #

There were signs, signs I did not notice

Chat

is your rss feed broken?

I’m not seeing anything show up in my rss reader

Do I not put thoughts in my rss feed, I swore I did.

Chat

my fault, Turns out I must have already clicked it in my reader.

great, glat it’s working

…But it wasn’t

Later this week comes the next sign that I also choose to ignore… Google search has unindexed a number of pages due to a soft 404. I don’t look at all of the emails from search console, but I did happen to see this one, and thought “Huh, that’s odd” and went on with my day without another thought on the issue.

Huh, that’s odd

The Discovery #

I didn’t realize I even had an issue until later that week when I went to my [[ archive ]] myself and noticed the shape of it looks off. When I opened up my feed something felt off, it was only the big posts. Thoughts show up as a different kind of card

Then it hit me.

Something just felt off

Thoughts are Gone!

The Fix #

I popped open my config and immediately knew what happened. I turned off some plugins locally for faster build iteration and that change found its way into production…. because I have nothing to check myself on other than me. The plugin is now back and thoughts are flowing from thoughts.waylonwalker.com to waylonwalker.com, no problem.

Or is this just a digital garden that has ebs and flows, growing weeds and pruning them every few months?

Microsoft has been addding features to Minecraft for over 10 years now. Idk if there was momentum from the mojang theme, but we’ve barely paid attention to any updates in the last five years. The ocean update was huge, caves and cliffs were huge then it trailed off to we play each release on release day, use commands to try out new features, then never touch them again either to play minecraft as we always have or to play a modded pack with crazy new features that really make an impact on gameplay.

No one to take your data, no latency to the data center, no one else bogging down your prompts, just raw speed. It looks absolutely wild. He implemented RAG and gave it a bunch of data about himself and its able to spit out his wife’s name and phone number in under a second. It writes code at blazing pace. This may be the future that we get over the next few years as things shift towards AI there will be more affordable options, and a larger second hand market for building out these highly capable machines.

💭 is AI ruining opensource? - YouTube

2025-11-02T15:31:24Z

I greatly appreciated the wide variety of experienced maintainers of large oss projects. From webdev to desktop application. The most common sentiment here was don’t contribute to open source just to contribute to open source. Bring something meaningful to the project. Find a project you like, look at the discussions/issues for work or start some discussions. If there are no meaningful features that you can add to projects that you use and love, make your own thing. Adam from tailwind really hit on this one several times. He has made tailwind extensible so that you don’t have to contribute to tailwind to get new capabilities, you can probably just extend tailwind with your thing. Its likely that it makes a lot more sense or your use case, and if it turns out that it makes sense for everyone have the discussion about bringing it in. The upside to small oss projects is that you can move at whatever pace you want and break them all you want when the user base is just you. As you move your stuff into tailwind you have to be very careful not to break the massive tailwind user base and you have to bend to the release schedule of tailwind.

The other adjacent topic that kept coming back is that low effort Prs are definitely on the rise with some of the projects. Refactor PRs get automatically closed because they are likely LLM driven, bring little to no value to the project, but bring a ton of risk. Don’t do this to maintiners.

Well done write up about reflecting solar energy back to earth from low orbit space. I did not know this was a thing, apparently it is/isn’t. Solar is a great technology, its largest limitations are that its not consistent. This tech does not fix this problem, what does is efficient long term storage. I’ve seen some crazy ideas going back to my days in school, maybe elementry school. Theres a lot of innovative ways to store potential energy by moving heavy objects uphill whether fluid or solid. The issue is that energy storage at grid scale is HUGE and not efficient enough. Even assuming this idea had any legs at all, it still doesn’t solve the problem of inconsistent power because it still cant go through clouds!

Maybe I have no idea what Prime gaming is, but it feels like the opposite of ownership. What I get from steam is a sense of ownership. I own the desktop/laptop/handheld, no one cough nintendo cough cough cant remotely disable my device for using it inappropriately. I have a sense of trust with steam that as long as Gabe is alive I own what I paid for and will be able to open up and play anything at any time on any device I want. It might be a $100 dell workstation raised out of the coorporate refurb bin, it might be a high end machine, It could be my 2010 gateway or my 2045 custom build and they are all likely to play a good amount of my library at some level. I still understand that I really own nothing and the moment steam turns off its servers its quite likely that everything is broken, but its by far the best we have. Far from the status quo we are headed towards with subscription and cloud based gaming. If they wanted to disrupt steam they did not understand their audience.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, …

b485b759-719a-4aa0-aa8d-f98e0a5e1ac3-1080p.mp4

Great justification for using the cloud. The infrastructure requirement for signal to be such a great app would be massive for a small team with low budget. The cloud is fantastic at unknown scaling, bursts beyond reasonable capacity to run yourself, getting compute everywhere in the world, and offloading huge infrastructure management costs.

DHH is 100% right that we have gone too far, too many things come out cloud first for services that can be ran locally cough such as your bed cough cough. One week ago when the world came to a hault, I did not bat an eye at these small teams with complex requirements going down with AWS.

Their own products seem quite damning to me. It signals that they cannot themselves become resilient to themselves. It shows how hard this problem is, how much cost in complexity and resources it requires. I’m sure there are fail overs that happened successfully that we will never hear about, critical products with large engineering overhead.

uv s3 sync with dotenv

I often want to run an s3 sync in an isolated environment, I don’t want to set any environment variables, I don’t want anything secret in my history, and I don’t want to change my dotenv into something that exports variables, I just want s3 sync to work. dotenv run is the tool that I’ve been using for this, and this uv one liner lets it run fully isolated from the project.

one liner #

uv tool run --from 'python-dotenv[cli]' dotenv run -- uv tool run --from awscli aws s3 sync s3://bucket data

First 3d Printed Threads

2025-10-24T14:19:49Z

Working on an upcoming project that requires some threaded screws. Trying to keep a low budget on this one with as much to come off of the printer as I can. It might become a slant3d portals product if it works out. I always like making test prints for stuff like this especially to see how the feel is off of the printer that is going to print the final product and take much longer. First try was a success.

What worked #

I started out looking up standard half inch thread pitch and size, but ran out of time to get the exact profile of a half inch bolt, so I will need to fix that later. Th

The print orientation is critical for strength here. This part is a full 1/2: so it should be strong either way, but to make sure we are printing the bolt horizontally to get nice long print layers. To do this we have to give it a bit of a flat spot on the top and bottom. This does not hurt performance, if anything it probably helps give some room for poor tolerances.

.5" od
13tpi pitch
non-standard profile… kids needed me and I called it good enough to run a test.

internal threads printed vertically

Atuin desktop sounds dope AF, tried to install it off the AUR and it was broken for me. Seems early and the dev team is all in on mac. They have an official .deb and .rpm. I’ll have to try again later, maybe the binary will work.

The idea of building out runbooks from my Atuin data sounds dope AF. It sounds like a mix of markdown and executable cells like a jupyter notebook, but not. Really pitching hard to those of us in the system administration, dev ops, SRE space. Having something that you walk through when a system goes down and you are feeling panicked in DR mode sounds relieving.

💭 My Bed Doesn't Work Because of AWS Outage? TheStandup - YouTube

Cloud is cooked bois. Seriously too much dumb shit relies on the cloud. Too much critical shit relies on single AZ’s. If normies are literally loosing sleep over an AWS outage (queue the Uncle Roger Voice), You’ve Fucked up. It’s wild to even think about a bed relying on the cloud let alone fully stop working when UE-1 goes down. I want to live in a world of opt in FEATURES, things that bring value to a product because it makes it better. Somehow a bed smells suspiciously like a cash grab for a subscription because its cloud connected. And yet for some reason it takes 16GeeeBee’s per month. I don’t own one of these, and I don’t want to. I don’t want a subscription for everything, I want my shit to just work. The future we are headed towards a world that is ever more reliant on a few key clouds. Which is fine. It’s fantastic that small companies can start and scale without owning an infrastructure team. It’s great that they have the ability to give us many nines of reliability. Some things just don’t need the cloud.

fastapi

2025-10-22T09:26:17Z

FastAPI is a modern and efficient web framework for Python, built on top of the Starlette web framework, and pydantic for data validation and serialization.

From the FastAPI documentation #

FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python based on standard Python type hints.

The key features are:

Fast: Very high performance, on par with NodeJS and Go (thanks to Starlette and Pydantic). One of the fastest Python frameworks available.
Fast to code: Increase the speed to develop features by about 200% to 300%. *
Fewer bugs: Reduce about 40% of human (developer) induced errors. *
Intuitive: Great editor support. Completion everywhere. Less time debugging.
Easy: Designed to be easy to use and learn. Less time reading docs.
Short: Minimize code duplication. Multiple features from each parameter declaration. Fewer bugs.
Robust: Get production-ready code. With automatic interactive documentation.
Standards-based: Based on (and fully compatible with) the open standards for APIs: OpenAPI (previously known as Swagger) and JSON Schema.

Mentioned in 2025 Stack Overflow Survey #

The +5 point increase for FastAPI is one of the most significant shifts in the web framework space. This signals a strong trend towards using Python for building performant APIs and reflects the overall strength of the Python ecosystem.

starlette head request

2025-10-22T09:11:31Z

FastAPI.">Starlette has a head request that works right along side your get requests. This morning I fiddled around with custom routes for GET and HEAD, but had to manually set some things about the file, and was still missing e-tag in the end. Turns out as a developer you can just add a head route to your get routes and starlette will strip the content for you, while preserving all of those good headers that fastapi FileResponse created automatically for you.

from fastapi import APIRouter
from fastapi.response import FileResponse
from fastapi import Request
from pathlib import Path

router = APIRouter()

@router.get("/file/{filename}")
@router.head("/file/{filename}")
async def get_file(filename: str, request: Request,):
    headers = {
      "Cache-Control": "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate",
    }
    from pathlib import Path
    filename = Path(f"data/{filename}")
    if not filename.exists():
        raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail="File not found")
    return FileResponse(filename, headers=headers)

Here is an example of the response with curl.

3d Printed Dovetails Fanned Out

2025-10-12T20:39:17Z

Experimental slices of 3d printed dovetails laid out in a fan. Each have sharpie notes written on them.

3d Printing Dovetails Experiment

2025-10-12T20:34:35Z

I hit an issue with 3d printing oversized parts that I have not hit before. I’m working on some jigs for an upcoming woodworking project that will involve a lot of repetition. We want to utilize some dowel joinery and jigs for consistency. These parts will be up to 20in in length this is much larger than my print bed.

I’ve fit things together before #

Here’s where I went wrong, I wasn’t really thinking through my previous applications. They’ve all been slip fit, primarily print in place joints that need to move. My go to offset for print in place on my printer is 0.2mm, sometimes 0.1mm depending on the scale.

knife sharpener double hinge first try

A live hinged [[ knife-sharpener-double-hinge-first-try ]].

And in the hinges of [[ a-box-of-caps-and-a-macropad ]].

Experimenting for feel #

Fitment like this is a lot dependent on the tolerences of your printer and the feel you are going for. I went to school as a mechanical engineer and theres a lot of science behind press fit joints, that’s not happening in my house on my desktop printer. Most of us don’t have that kind of ability to gauge our outputs so I’m doing like a cook in the kitchen and going for feel.

Here are all of the experiements lined up.

Fillets #

I again, I feel like I should have known better. 3d printers generally have 0.4mm nozzles, common sizes you can get 0.2mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm, and 0.8mm. This leaves us with the sharpest corner we can do at 0.2mm.

Diagram courtesy of gpt-5.

Potentially overkill #

In order to make sure that the flat edges of the dovetails are what are making contact and not corners binding I made the inside fillet 0.6mm and the outside 0.4mm. This 0.4mm radius (0.8mm diameter) is double my nozzle size, and will cause the printer to follow a smooth curve rather than start and stop and potentially overflow a bit. This difference in fillet size will also leave a little room for error and allow the important flat faces to mate together.

Here are the test results after filleting the edges of the dovetails to compensate for printer errors.

Fillets

Before Fillets

After Fillets

TLDR What works for me #

After all of this, turns out that common sense kinda just works here, 0mm offset works really well on my printer, and leaving room in the corners to keep them from binding up helps a bit, but is probably unnecessary.

0mm offset
0.6mm inside fillet
0.4mm outside fillet

The Year of the Linux Desktop is a meme, every year is the year of the Linux desktop as it gains rounding errors of market share. Outside of Linux nerds, developers that use servers on the regular, cheap asses reviving old hardware that is dead in the eyes of other OS’s, the average user wont even notice a difference with the right distro. I ran bazzite with plasma for over a year, It would be super beginner friendly while allowing users customization on levels never seen on non-Linux machines. Other than adobe, roblox, and EA games with easy anti-cheat most users probably aren’t going to run in to any issues. They probably wont even notice at this point, which is where the meme comes in. Why would anyone switch if its not noticeably different for the average user, they wont, until what is working for them stops working for them.

python extras are for shipping

2025-10-03T20:18:23Z

Python has two ways of adding optional dependencies to your projects pyproject.toml file dependency-groups and optional-dependencies.

dependency-groups #

for development

Dependency grooups are used when working on the project, they do not ship with the project, users cannot select to install them with the project. These are for things like running tests, linting, or docs. You might want to run these in ci, or keep your dev machines tight. For the most part you can probably keep these in dev. Depending on your team, fluency, and tolerance for slower installs extra packages. Adding too many tight groups might make it hard for the team to remember all the groups and which one to use and end up with them using --all-groups anyways.

optional-dependencies #

for users

Optional dependencies are for shipping. These are for your users, not your development team. This is used for dependencies that are clearly not needed for all or main use cases. It is annoying to use projects that you need to add optionals to just to use at all so use them a bit sparingly.

fastapi">example fastapi #

fastapi provides a very simple example. fastapi itself provides almost everything you need with optional-dependencies for standard, standard-no-fastapi-cloud-cli, and all. These primarily add support for uvicorn websockets and multipart forms.

example pandas #

Pandas is a very good example here. As a data processing library there are a lot of different sources for data that you might want to use, but you probably won’t need most of them, and often don’t need them to just get a DataFrame going. They offer a long list of optional dependencies such as pyarrow, aws, gcp, postgresql and many more.

example kedro-datasets #

Very similar to pandas kedro-datasets uses a similar pattern to pandas but at a higher level. A dataset is an abstraction of a datasource that get defined in the catalog, and primarily provide the framework with load and save methods for datasets. There are many optionals for data providers like pandas, but also many for each dataframe abstraction like pandas, polars, dask, databricks.

kedro-datasets

let’s build a package #

Let’s make a package called learn-uv that implements these dependency features.

mkdir /tmp/learn-uv
cd /tmp/learn-uv
uv init --package
uv add httpx
# add development dependencies
uv add --dev pytest
uv add --group dev ipython
# add documentation dependencies to the docs group
uv add --group docs markata

# add optional dependencies
# these are dependencies that a user could install
# python -m pip install 'learn-uv[data-science]'
uv add --optional data-science pandas

# add extra dependencies
# this adds the jupyter extra from rich
# similar to `python -m pip install 'learn-uv[jupyter]'`
uv add --extra jupyter rich

This will result in the following pyproject.toml.

[project]
name = "learn-uv"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "Add your description here"
readme = "README.md"
authors = [
    { name = "Waylon S. Walker", email = "hello@waylonwalker.com" }
]
requires-python = ">=3.13"
dependencies = [
    # uv add httpx
    "httpx>=0.28.1",
    # uv add --extra jupyter rich
    "rich[jupyter]>=14.1.0",
]

[project.scripts]
learn-uv = "learn_uv:main"

[project.optional-dependencies]
data-science = [
    # uv add --optional data-science pandas
    "pandas>=2.3.3",
]

[build-system]
requires = ["uv_build>=0.8.22,<0.9.0"]
build-backend = "uv_build"

[dependency-groups]
dev = [
    # uv add --group dev ipython
    "ipython>=9.6.0",
    # uv add --dev pytest
    "pytest>=8.4.2",
]
docs = [
    # uv add --group docs markata
    "markata>=0.9.1",
]

Using the project #

Let’s start off with one common point of confusion. uv tool run or its alias uvx does not install any dependencies or anything from the project.

uv tool run ipython

✅ ipython
❌ learn_uv
❌ httpx
❌ pytest
❌ markata
❌ pandas
❌ rich
❌ ipywidgets (from rich[jupyter])

Using uv run is project aware, installs the dependencies from the pyproject.toml.

uv run ipython

✅ ipython
✅ learn_uv
✅ httpx
✅ pytest
❌ markata
❌ pandas
✅ rich
✅ ipywidgets (from rich[jupyter])

uv run --group docs markata

✅ ipython
✅ learn_uv
✅ httpx
✅ pytest
✅ markata
❌ pandas
✅ rich
✅ ipywidgets (from rich[jupyter])

Installing the optional dependency extra data-science gives me pandas in this project.

uv run --extra data-science ipython

✅ ipython
✅ learn_uv
✅ httpx
✅ pytest
✅ markata
✅ pandas
✅ rich
✅ ipywidgets (from rich[jupyter])

everything #

There are many combinations of include/exclude that you can use, check uv run --help to see all of the options. Here is the nuclear option to include everything.

uv run --all-groups --all-extras ipython

Potential `uv` bug #

At the time of writing once a dependency group is used it persists in the virtual environment for the rest of the project. This is not the case with extras it only includes the extras you ask for on each run. The state is clean and consistent with extras, but groups depend on what you have ran before in the project.

❯ uv --version
uv 0.8.22 (ade2bdbd2 2025-09-23)

example

# install docs group
uv sync --group docs
# docs dependencies are available
uv run markata
# sync resets the environment
uv sync
# docs dependencies are not available
uv run markata
error: Failed to spawn: `markata`

PEP 735 – Dependency Groups in pyproject.toml | peps.python.org

This PEP specifies a mechanism for storing package requirements in pyproject.toml files such that they are not included in any built distribution of the project.

Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) · peps.python.org

PEP 735 describes dependency groups as sets of optional dependencies that are not shipped with the package but intended for development purposes.

The PEP includes an example for groups that include test, docs, typing, and a combo typing-test.

[dependency-groups]
test = ["pytest", "coverage"]
docs = ["sphinx", "sphinx-rtd-theme"]
typing = ["mypy", "types-requests"]
typing-test = [{include-group = "typing"}, {include-group = "test"}, "useful-types"]

This is implemented in uv and can be used by several of their commands.

uv sync --group test
uv run --group test
uv add --group test pytest
uv remove --group test pytest
uv export --group test
uv tree --group test

Dependency Groups are not Extras #

The docs describe extras as being intended to ship with the application and dependency groups intended for development. The spec allows both to exist with the same name, but care should be taken as tools may have different implementations.

Tools MAY choose to provide the same interfaces for installing Dependency Groups as they do for installing extras.

Note that this specification does not forbid having an extra whose name matches a Dependency Group.

Users are advised to avoid creating Dependency Groups whose names match extras. Tools MAY treat such matching as an error.

Using real data when you can is goated.

I smell a dependency to python-dotenv dying in my workflow. I originally read the title of the post and thought, “I know how to manage .env and almost skipped it”. I’m leaning more and more on uv run these days, so this should just go in my [[ just file ]] to make it easy to run.

Interesting catch from the HN discussion over his article that came out yestereday. I scanned it yesterday and it has some really fascinating diagrams showing different phases of the web being open, to being siloed, to somewhere that we are trying to make it easy to publish, and retain ownership. I don’t know enough about bluesky, but the core is build on the AT protocol, you can self host your own instance, you can build different front ends for it. So rather than having siloed instagram, FB, twitter, there are clones of those platforms that read the same data from everyones data, that they have the option of self hosting.

I like this distinction between Mastadon here. Mastadon can also be self host, but its data aggregation is decentralized, so each instance is fragmented and cannot have a complete view of the data. The way that the ATproto does its aggregation is quite fascinating and feels right for an open social platform. I’m probably missing something, but if you are posting to one of these platfoms publically, why not have the data available to all of them, if you don’t want it shared it probably belongs somewhere more private anyways and there are platforms for that.

This is a super cool movement, I like the idea of giving access to composable components like we have in open source. You want to build a website you have a bunch of options from raw dogging assembly all the way up to predefined templates that just need your content. Idk if the analogy is perfect but there are aspects of it that work. I see where right now we are somewhere in raw dogging c or python. We have cheap nuts and bolts and some low level things, but once someone needs some coupler like this it’s dropping down to drawing it by hand.

💭 Haiden Deegan IN for Motocross of Nations?! | The Blair Matthe...

2025-09-26T12:36:26Z

I can’t believe this thing is so devicive. I kinda can’t belive that I sit on the same side as Mathes and his always against the grain, non corporate influenced response. So many others have praised Haiden for bringing back the real gladiator bloodsport that SX is, is it that though?? It’s a race to the finish. different than a lot of other racing its very unpredictable takeout moves happen, occasionally as an accident, often taking both riders down at the same time.

Also different than MANY sports we have a huge industry of weekend warriors, Some of which make it into the night show of the biggest race on TV. You see we only bring 20 riders from each class, the top half to top quarter are “Factory” riders, the rest are privateers, sometimes these privateers are completely their on their own.

There is also something called a last chance qualifier. This is your last chance to get into the night show, often fought by these privateers out of box vans with their brother as a mechanic. Often that last spot is filled by sketchy on edge riding and takeout moves from a rider that looks like he is barely making it, but would run circles around anyone at your local race.

We celebrate these as a fight to the finish, anything goes, you just gotta cross the finishline.

What’s different here from last weekend (someone could really write a book on the build up of tension, shit talking, lack of harsh penalties in the rules) is really that Haiden had zero shot at the championship. He was winning the race, Joe in Second with a secure championship. This is when Haiden started riding behind him, slowing down for Joe to catch up, and taking shots at Joe until he broke his own collarbone. He went out knowing he needed to knock Joe down enough to cover the points deficit and the penalty. This was not a pass for the win, or a pass for the last spot in the night show, this was a pass to clear a deficit which required Joe on the ground.

This seems to be celebrated by half the industry, but dude you had already lost going into this night this aint cool, you lost this one put on a face let Joe have his moment, make your statement by going one one and crushing these dudes by 30 seconds metaphorically, not literally crushing them.

Big W Engineering Solutions · bigwengineering.com

I first met Adam in college, he seemed like quite a character on the outside, but was always quite smart and often leaned towards realistic solutions to problems rather than over complicating things. He was part of the SAE Formula car, well known for taking a simple problem and trying to turn it into a real formula one carbon fiber solution. I remember a period where he was a fan of old world blacksmithing as they would say at the time. He even got a few very simple and light parts on the car that were easy to make unlike the carbon fiber alternatives. By the time I was there he was more of a leader and did not do a lot of design on any whole system, but would take out class projects for a component or help with some hard problems. This company feels like it is a great extension of who he was a that time, with about 15 years of professional experience tacked on.

zmk two hand hold down

2025-09-17T20:04:36Z

I don’t know about you, but I don’t re-flash my keyboard enough to ever remember where I put the bootloader. Sometimes its the last thing I think about in a refactor and I end up cornering myself into a place where I cant get into that layer anymore. I’ve started putting hardware switches on my newer builds, but some older builds don’t have a hardware one, so it requires disassembly and jumping the microcontroller. Even when I have one though, I gotta flip my board over and its annoying sometimes, so I prefer to have a keystroke for it.

Two Hand hold down #

What I’ve landed on recently is the idea of a two hand hold down combo for the bootloader. These combos are ones that there is no way I can hit without picking my hands up from their normal homerow position and pressing four keys simultaneously with pointer and thumbs.

Inspired by Jim and Dave

It’s Fun #

If it’s not something that you enjoy, you might as well move on there are far better ways to spend your time in 2025. Only the weirdos read this shit anymore, the masses have long moved on to curated social media feeds, and on to chatting with llms. I enjoy spending some time in the digital garden every once in awhile tweaking templates, creating markata plugins to do interesting things. I enjoy expressing my thoughts, or at least shouting them into the ether.

I’ll be the first to admit that I often go to an llm for first pass at many things that I could look up in a guide or 😲 the docs.

I enjoy reading others #

This year I have made extra effort to add more and more people into my [[reader]]. I enjoy reading content from people I chose to follow and can remove whenever I want. I enjoy reading actual human thoughts and not ai generated content all day.

I even will create Thoughts based on these posts that I find interesting, and want to further share to others. I want to give these people that took time to make something a little boost.

Not Perfection #

The last thing we need in 2025 is perfection. We have enough ai generated slop that is far from perfectly accurate that sits behind a veil of mostly clean look, semi consistent feel, and a narrow set of tone. I see it in gen z there is something about the imperfect that is coming out. Not perfectly cut video or audio. I just heard Gary Vee mention this morning that a siren going off in the background of NYC has a somewhat natural human feel to it now.

Ownership #

Dave points out that the first thought for most people trying to make a business or pop off as an influencer is TikTok, then a few similar apps. If you are trying to reach a large audience and swim in the big pond with the big fish thats where you need to go.

But you don’t own that content anymore. Some posts will pop, some will be lost to the algorithm for nothing more that the first few eyes that got it swiped past too fast. The whole platform can go, or choose to not show your content, its their platform. You don’t pay them for anything. They are allowed to do what they want.

If you want some ownership to keep your content alive, curate a small, focused, core audience, also put that on a website.

Not for the faint of heart #

It’s not easy to manage hundreds of posts, images, builds, servers. Theres probably a hundred ways to make it easier, but if you really want full control, full DIY, it takes time to do.

Learn a skill #

This can go a few different ways, One is that you can make a blog or site about a topic, deep dive into this topic. Create blogs, videos, images, about this topic. Create real content that real people find interesting.

OR a bit meta, you can learn more about tech. This site is built with markata, its a static site generator that I built myself mostly to make this site. I’ve learned a ton about markdown, html, ast, python, plugin architecture in doing so. I build this site in kubernetes, another skill that I wanted to develop, and owning my own services that I have real skin in the game for is a great way to do so.

Just Build Websites #

As the opening to shoptalkshow says, just make websites. Who the fuck cares why or how. The important thing is that you built something, maybe it is for an audience of one or one million, doesn’t matter, keep the internet alive and just build something.

tar over ssh

2025-09-13T10:50:42Z

Today I learned how to use tar over ssh to save hours in file transfers. I keep all of my projects in ~/git (very creative I know, I’ve done it for years and haven’t changed). I just swapped out my main desktop from bazzite to hyprland, and wanted to get all of my projects back. Before killing my bazzite install I moved everything over (16GB of many small files), it took over 14 hours, maybe longer. I had started in the morning and just let it churn.

This was not going to happen for re-seeding all of my projects on my new system, I knew there had to be a better way, I looked at rsync, but for seeding I ran into this tar over ssh technique and it only took me 6m51s to pull all of my projects off of my remote server.

I’ve been 3d printing for years, and create a lot of my own designs. Many of them are hyper specific to me, but for the ones that I think others might find useful I will be putting up here for sale, you can buy prints that will show up to your door in a few days. I’m leaning on the slant3d print farm so this depends on your proximity to them. The prints are typically black petg, if you would like a different color reach out to me and I will see what other options we have, or for an additional fee I can print it myself and ship out special colors.

These are all designs that I made and actually use myself, they bring me joy knowing that I made just the thing that I wanted to exist and if you buy something I hope that it brings you this joy as well.

💭 How To Become The BEST Engineer At Your Company - YouTube

2025-09-10T16:08:36Z

When you fill all of your time with a bunch of other things, it becomes really hard to become a friendly person. Prime talked about trying to learn how to drop the hurry in his life, and how to not always be in a frenzy of going from one thing to the next. It’s something that puts us in a state that its hard to remember to be friendly. Hard to remember that theres always time for coffee.

I do my best to always leave time for coffee, whether at home with my wife and kids, as well as at work. I am in a very unique place at work where I have a rare set of skills for the industry I am in. This comes with a lot of people insterested in how to do things like running data pipelines or managing server infrastructure. I always take time for these conversations, I find them interesting, and useful. Sometimes you end up with someone who asks the same questions every 6 months, other times, you have someone flourish from these conversations. I’m not saying to take on work from every other team in the org, but giving 30 minutes to help mentor others can go a long ways.

I’m still not the best, I still get wrapped up in my own stuff just like prime calls out. I sometimes get frustrated with others around me when things come up that prevent me from doing my work, or just getting the things out of my head that I had momentum on while the lightning was hot.

I’ve been leaning on lazy-self-installing-python-scripts more and more, but I did not realize how much tooling that uv gives you to help manage your scripts.

uv init --script up
uv add --script up typer rich

sed -i '1i #!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script' up
chmod +x up

The result is a script that looks like this, its executable as what looks like regular command in your shell.

The first diagram describes that there has become a spectrum of agentic coding from vibe coding where you don’t ready anything, to looking at everything in detail, across a group of people who don’t have a clue what the code says to people who could do it way better if they took the time.

The importance spectrum #

He argues here that its ok to bounce between A,B, and D, but C becomes dangerous. I’d argue that he brought up a 3rd spectrum that is important later on, “how critical is this”. I think the I don’t know, don’t care, didn’t read, but the thing did its job is quite fine, but don’t know, don’t care, mission critical is the main issue we are seeing with agentic coding, primarily in the didn’t read but critical Zone.

The Rules #

This is the list that prompted this post, I think it serves as a good reminder when you should care a bit more.

You still need to know how code works if you want to be a coder #

If you want to get good, you need to put in the reps, do the practice, learn to debug the strange looking error messages and not just pass them to ChatGPT.

There’s a lot of code worth having that is not worth writing or reading #

As professionals we have a lot of code that we read more than we write, will get executed millions of times over the next 10 years that its in service, pay close attention to this and probably set aside the llm.

We also write a lot of that is ran only a few times, maybe its a special report, or a shell script to bootstrap something. It might be a POC service that you build out only ever on your machine, you get your idea out in front of users or try it yourself and find the mistakes before you spend weeks building it yourself.

you can’t be mad at vibe coding AND be mad at left-pad #

This one is interesting that he was very strongly for. The idea is that no one ever reads the code from libraries they use, or the diffs of new versions (outside of google where everything is literally vendored into the monolith). If you don’t care about all of those dependencies, you cannot get mad at vibe coding.

I’ll argue here a smidge, but I agree with the premiss. Left-pad was probably written by someone smarter than average. It was definitely used by far more people and projects, therefore was battle tested to no end. This was the real reason this stuff got in everywhere. People are probably not good enough to catch all the odd edge cases for js, especially if front end is not their specialty.

Vibe code is a type of legacy code #

Vibe coding is a type of legacy code, but as a type of debt that we opt into, not one that has accumulated over time and we have opted not to take care of. Both are types of code that no one reads, no one remembers existed.

When someone needs to change legacy code they don’t, they take a hammer to it and rewrite it from scratch.

If the tools are better than you, stop using them #

Theo has a good example here. Critial business components to his businesses have switched to using Effect. It solves async issues with ease, but melts the brain of anyone seeing it for the first time. He admits that he does not code as much anymore and thus he sucks at it, but knows that if he is ever to learn it one bit he must turn off the LLM and put in the work to do it himself.

You will not get any better at this by copy pasting from ChatGPT. It is too easy to put your brain aside, paste error messages, and copy the reponse in. Or worse with agents tell them fix this. Unlike the days of Stack Overflow, you had to understand your problem well enough to search it. You had to understand the answers enough to integrate the solution, you had to understand if the solution was even for your problem in the first place. There was much more brain work that had to happen even then when the answers were basically given to you.

Fin #

Lastly Theo does not bring this rule, up, but if you are writing text for humans to read, you shall not copy paste from ChatGPT without thoroughly editing and reading for yourself first, this is considered Ai Slop and you should be ashamed.

nvim delete current file

2025-09-02T13:23:21Z

This one is one that I’ve been using quite often, I did’t have a hotkey for it, I just used the rm shell command.

!!rm %<TAB><CR>

When you type !! from normal mode it will automatically put you in command mode with .! pre-filled, then you just type rm and <TAB> to auto-complete the current file name, and <CR> to execute the command.

:.!rm %<TAB><CR>

Making it better #

The one quirk that I don’t like about this is that the buffer remains open after deleting, and sometimes I forget to close it and end up re-creating it by mistake when running :wall or :xall.

Create a DeleteFile command with vim command.

:command! DeleteFile execute "!rm %" | bdelete!

Keycap Cut Away

2025-08-30T16:03:01Z

I was curious how/if my custom keycap design was hitting my switches. So I set out to find out what the fitup inside of this assembly looks like, but not theoretically, a fully sliced view into their fit up in the flesh.

The set up #

To setup for this cut, I flooded the edge of a 2x4 with hot glue, and inserted the cap such that the step was tangent with the edge. This way I could use the edge as a guide to cut one side off and leave the stem in tact. I took a handsaw to it and filed it smooth.

Removal was applying some isopropyl alcohol and it popped right off.

Results #

Actually the results aren’t that interesting. I found that the pictures turned out really good, but nothing was touching and it sits in the stem exactly as I thought it did. I had a thought, what if the cap is not allowing the switch to reach it’s full travel, and had no way to know, but now I know.

I’ve used this knife sharpener that I printed for a few years now.

vim noa

2025-08-29T08:32:44Z

Vim :noa is a command that runs what you call without autocommands on. This is typically used when you have some BufWritePre commands for formatting, most auto formatters are implemented this way in vim. It can be super useful if you have something like a yaml/json file that you have crafted perfectly how you want it, maybe it has some source code for a small script or sql embeded and your formatter wants to turn it into one line. You could get a better formatter, but for these one off cases that aren’t a big bother to me I run :noa w.

This commit to my keymap gets rid of vertical combos, those were a bad idea to me. Maybe I didnt give it a shot, but hitting two keys at once on purpose with the same finger is a skill, one that I don’t have. This change maps those symbols so that they work as a combo or layer switch, so getting the layer key in first does it by layer, but pressing them at the same time gives me the combo, kinda feels genius. We will see how it goes.

You are a scout who has crashlanded on an island, your goal is to get to the peak with your friends. You must manage hunger, stamina, weight, health and energy. You have limited resources and must help everyone to the top, if someone is low on stamina, they are going to need a helping hand or a stonger climber to go up and set pitons and ropes. Its a fantastic collaborative play game

Its ripped out all the thinking and creativity, its left us with moving tickets across the board, not allowed time to run on an idea when we have one. Not allowed to do extra work or refactoring in a module that we are already in. pushed to move faster for less.

I feel like this mans experience has been quite different from my own and I’m grateful to have some leeway to be creative and do some meaningful work outside the jira board. I’m grateful to be able to provide a good income for my family without taking on all the risk myself.

I'm Out On Agents

2025-08-27T10:10:51Z

Its the year 2025 and we are only a few years into having 6 months to live before ai takes our jobs, and the big push right now is agents, managing agents. I will fully concede to I’m not doing it right, or a future state gets better than where we are right now, but right now they kinda suck.

Transparency

I’m sitting offline right now as I write this, These are my feels, no research, no links, no ai, just vibes.

Chat #

Chat is what really kicked off ai uses and goes back as old as computers, but it always sucked. Then chatgpt rocked the world with the biggest launch day in history and showed us that it could actually be pretty good. Unethically trained on everything they could get their hands on, burning cities worth of electricity to train, and keep training to stay ahead of the competition. It does a damn good job. There are tells, and if you see enough of it there is a lot that turns to slop, but if you had never seen it before, there is no way you would assume that it was not a computer.

It does a damn good job at being average, it can do what seems like everything not related to security and authentication at a pretty average level. This is its super power. Whenever you are trying to bridge between something you know and something new, you can get a pretty good answer, and likely spot the bs in what you know.

Agents #

Now that our models have gotten better, hardware has gotten bigger, better, and a lot more of it, we can really expand context windows really wide. With that brought the use of agents, these tools get context from sources on their own and often are given read/write access to your computer. Depending on the model these things will branch out to make small changes that look no worse than a formatter on every goddam line of your codebase. Except they are not a formatter, they are not backed by ast checks. They do not have any guarantees.

They take the fun out of creation.

The emphasis now becomes on the code review. All you have to do is ask it to makes changes for you. Bring in your expertise of what changes should be next, or even just punt to asking it what comes next. I’ve yet to talk to someone that is diligent enough to read everything it spits out in excruciating detail to the point that it does not cause significant issues.

You see here is the thing, its average. With a little bit of context it can do average work. It is not an expert. On the surface this feels fine, making crud endpoints has been done for decades, and average developers crush these things every day no problem.

It’s Average at best

You know what is not average? Your knowledge of the use case you are solving. You may not feel like an expert, but given that there are likely about 5 people working in your codebase, you are a fukin expert at that thing. The average person off the street takes time to onboard, often months, or years for someone to really understand the business you are working in. These things don’t have that.

I’m not letting it in shit that I care avout #

I was early to the game to codeium, even used the predecessor for awhile, I was early to chat gpt, I was early to windsurf and the possibilities that agentic ides brought. I will be late on letting agents touch my production code bases. The few times I’ve tried for changes that seem easy enough, but more work than what I want to do at the time, I’ve regretted it. It’s only left behind a mess that it cant deal with anymore, runs in circles trying to solve any problem, and I’m left with shit that feels like a house of cards that breaks anytime you touch it.

I will continue to POC #

As much of a mess as these things, make they are super useful to vibe code ideas, move quickly and try different approaches to a problem. They let you make a proof of concept that you can get in front of team mates, bosses, or users.

Honestly I still prefer the chat interface. It feels like a nice balance of using my brain, and knowing that I am punting on something. Do I need to know the whole ffmpeg interface to grab a thumbnail for my webapp, no, would I actually like to learn it someday, yes, but I don’t need to right now I just need a goddamn thumbnail.

For the most part I am still slotting these things into the codebase myself, but occasionally I have it do an entire module, and even more rare I pull out agents and have it do all the work. The further away from the code I get, the less I care about it and just want it done.

I will laugh at this post in 2 years #

The way I see it agentic coding is not here to stay, it sucks. There is one two ways to go this was a blip in the radar that we laugh at for giving ai companies all our data for free so they could fuck up our products. Or they actually get pretty good and we all become architects that peek at the code if we really need to. I think for the second to become true its going to take a lot of time, consumer hardware will need to catch up, local llms will need to work a lot better than they do now. Even if we still need to call out to the big boys for some heavy work getting the context right for them locally would make a huge difference. Currently local llms are too slow and dumb.

So will this bubble pop or explode, we can only wait to find out.

💭 The Death of the User Interface

2025-08-25T01:48:19Z

THE_DEATH_OF_THE_USER_INTERFACE.md markdown

# The Death of the User Interface

> **TL;DR:** We're witnessing the end of graphical user interfaces. AI agents like Claude Code are eliminating the need for windows, menus, and clicks, replacing them with natural language. The computer is finally learning to speak human, not the other way around.

---

## 🔮 A Personal Revelation

Last week, I realized something profound: **I haven't opened Finder in months.** Not once.

Where I once clicked through nested folders, dragged and dropped files, and navigated hierarchical menus, I now simply tell Claude Code exactly what I need:

- _"Find all the test files modified in the last week"_
- _"Move the old backups to archive"_

The commands execute instantly, precisely, without me ever seeing a window, icon, or folder.

> This isn't just about convenience. It's a fundamental shift in how humans interact with computers, and it signals the beginning of the end for user interfaces as we know them.

---

## 🚴 → 🚀 The Bicycle That Became a Teleporter

In 1990, Steve Jobs famously described computers as "bicycles for the mind," drawing from a Scientific American study showing that humans on bicycles were the most efficient locomotors on Earth. The metaphor was perfect for its time: computers amplified human cognitive abilities just as bicycles amplified our physical capabilities.

But bicycles still require you to:

- **Pedal** the mechanism
- **Steer** the direction
- **Navigate** the terrain
- **Learn** the balance

Traditional user interfaces work the same way. They're tools that amplify our abilities, but only after we learn their language, their layouts, their logic.

> **What we have now with AI agents isn't a bicycle anymore. It's a teleporter.** You simply state your destination, and you arrive.

## 📜 From Xerox PARC to Natural Language: A 50-Year Arc

### The Timeline of Interface Evolution

**1964** → Douglas Engelbart invents the computer mouse at Stanford Research Institute

**1973** → Xerox PARC develops the Alto, the first computer with a GUI

**1979** → Steve Jobs sees the Alto, immediately grasps its revolutionary potential

**1984** → Macintosh launches, bringing GUI to the masses

**2024** → AI agents begin replacing graphical interfaces entirely

That language dominated for five decades. Windows, Mac OS, and even modern web applications all speak variations of it: _point, click, drag, drop, menu, submenu, dialog box, button._ We became so fluent in this language that we forgot it was a language at all.

### The Abstraction Layer Pattern

Every abstraction layer in computing eventually gets replaced by a higher-level one:

| **Era** | **From**            | **To**                             |
| ------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| 1950s   | Machine code        | → Assembly language                |
| 1960s   | Assembly            | → High-level programming languages |
| 1980s   | Command line        | → Graphical user interfaces        |
| 2000s   | Native apps         | → Web applications                 |
| 2020s   | **User interfaces** | **→ Conversational AI agents**     |

> Each transition follows the same pattern: what once required specialized knowledge becomes accessible through more natural, intuitive interaction.

---

## 👻 The Invisible Operating System

Traditional operating systems: Windows, macOS, Linux, are abstractions over hardware. Web applications are abstractions over REST APIs. Both require user interfaces because they need to translate between human intent and machine execution.

**AI agents represent something fundamentally different:** they're abstractions that understand human intent directly. No translation required.

2. Navigate to directory _(remember the path)_
3. Scan through files _(parse visual information)_
4. Select multiple files _(remember shortcuts)_
5. Right-click for menu _(know this exists)_
6. Choose "Move to..." _(understand terminology)_
7. Navigate to destination _(remember another path)_
8. Confirm operation _(hope you got it right)_

🗣️ AI Agent Approach

1. "Move all PDF files from Downloads to Documents/Reports"

**Done.**

> The difference isn't just efficiency, it's cognitive load. With traditional interfaces, you're translating your intent into the computer's language. With AI agents, the computer learns your language instead.

---

## 🧠 The Mental Load Revolution

Every interface element, every button, menu, icon, and widget, is a **tiny cognitive tax**. Even the most intuitive interface requires you to:

- ✓ Understand its visual language
- ✓ Remember its organizational structure
- ✓ Learn its interaction patterns
- ✓ Maintain mental models of its state

This is what UX designers call **"extraneous cognitive load"**. Mental effort spent on using the tool rather than accomplishing the task.

> When you tell Claude Code to "set up a new Python project with pytest and black pre-configured," you're expressing pure intent. The mental energy you would have spent on navigation can be redirected to actual problem-solving.

---

## ⚡ The Present: Early Adopters and Edge Cases

We're living through the transition right now.

### What's Happening in 2024

- **AIOS** → Embedding LLMs directly into operating systems
- **Claude Code** → Replacing entire categories of developer tools
- **Cursor & Copilot** → Making IDEs conversational
- **Warp Agent Mode** → LLMs in the terminal for multi-step workflows

### What I No Longer Do

I see it in my own work every day. I no longer:

❌ Browse through file explorers  
❌ Click through git GUIs  
❌ Navigate package manager interfaces  
❌ Hunt through documentation sites  
❌ Configure tools through preference panes

Instead, I describe what I want, and it happens. **The interface hasn't been simplified, it's been eliminated.**

---

## 🍎 The Future Steve Jobs Glimpsed

> "Ultimately computers are going to be a tool for communication. Not computation, not productivity. Communication."
>
> — Steve Jobs, 1983 International Design Conference

At that conference in Aspen, a 28-year-old Jobs made predictions that seemed like science fiction:

- Portable computers with wireless connections
- Instant access to remote databases
- Devices as primary means of communication

He was right about all of it, but even his vision was constrained by the paradigm of his time. He imagined better interfaces, more intuitive interactions, simpler designs.

**He couldn't imagine no interface at all.**

Yet in that quote above, Jobs understood something fundamental: the real revolution would come when computers could understand us as naturally as we understand each other.

> That future is arriving. The question isn't whether AI will replace user interfaces, but how quickly and how completely.

---

## 🔄 The Last Interface

There's an irony in writing about the death of user interfaces, or rather, there **was**. This article itself is proof of the transition: generated through conversation with Claude Code, shaped by human intent rather than human interface manipulation. I provided the ideas and direction; the AI handled the execution. **The future isn't coming, it's already here, manifesting through the very words you're reading.**

Soon, articles like this won't be "written" in the traditional sense. They'll be conversed into existence, with AI agents handling not just the typing but the research, fact-checking, formatting, and publishing. The tool will disappear into the task.

### The Holdouts and the Inevitable

Some will mourn this loss. There's something satisfying about direct manipulation, about seeing and controlling every step. Just as some still prefer command lines to GUIs, some will always prefer clicking to conversing.

But for most of us, the appeal of **zero cognitive load** will be irresistible.

> Why learn an interface when you can just say what you want?  
> Why navigate when you can simply arrive?

---

## 🎯 Conclusion: After the Interface

We stand at an inflection point. For fifty years, ever since Xerox PARC invented the GUI, we've been refining the same basic paradigm: **humans learning to speak computer**.

Now, **computers are learning to speak human**.

The death of the user interface doesn't mean the death of design or user experience. If anything, it makes them more important. When the interface disappears, what remains is pure interaction design: understanding human intent, anticipating needs, handling edge cases gracefully.

The challenge shifts from:

- ❌ _"How do we make this button more obvious?"_
- ✅ **"How do we understand what the user really wants?"**

> Steve Jobs gave us bicycles for the mind.  
> AI agents are giving us something else entirely: **minds that understand our minds.**  
> No pedaling required.

**The user interface is dying, and that's the most user-friendly thing that could possibly happen.**

---

_What do you think? Are we witnessing the end of user interfaces, or just another evolution? How has AI changed your own relationship with traditional software interfaces?_

This is an insane level of agentic llm use, the author claims to not even use his filesystem anymore, its too cumbersome to find where downloads and documents are and way too easy to ask an agent to move all pdf’s from downloads to documents.

This scares me on multiple levels, theres the epidemic of ai datacenters and ai companies burning cash, burning through gpu’s and api calls to a giant data center just to move files sounds absolutely insane to me.

Then there is the level of accuracy. There’s a level of interpretation that happens with english that does not happen in code, code generally does what it does repeatably. The examples of “Move old backups to archive” is so open for interpretation that its ready to ruin your day, which backup, which archive, how old? Dude is ready to loose his files.

Last is privacy, there is going to be a privacy epidemic that is going to pwn so many people giving these things full access to email, chat, ALL of YOUR FILES, and computer, your whole network.

Look I get it this is where things are going, but dude is early, like too early. These things need to become far more accurate, less power hungry, and run locally before I give up my whole filesystem.

💭 Why everyone is quitting social media - YouTube

2025-08-25T01:36:35Z

Damn, social media is at an all time low. I’ve felt all of these issues and when I got a new phone I started fresh, I didn’t install one social media app. Luckily Youtube has remained solid for me. Yes shorts are a bit less what I came for and more addicting content they had to do in order to keep up. There are some legit good commedians, a bit of good knowledge and a bunch of trash that is hard to look away from on shorts. I still find myself able to find content I enjoy and signed up for on YouTube. I feel like I get a one way relationship with someone similar to a TV show or news anchor of old media.

Social Media has morphed from follows likes and similar, to viral posts by creators I don’t recognize. posting and immediately getting like by two hot women with accounts created this week. The rest of the real creators left on there are stuck trying to keep up, echo viral trends, trying to keep up the content treadmill. A few come through, but most feel somewhat forced. A lot of it is ai generated, and whats not mostly doesn’t feel that human anyways.

The people on here seem to really tie the internet to social media and are ready to quit the internet. I think there is more to the internet, we can find each other, but setting up rss feeds, following others, and scrolling their own website lacks that dopamine hit social media has right now.

If you want to decrypt the timestamp into something more human readable. You can list backup files, strip out the timestamp, and then convert it to a human readable date.

/bin/ls | grep backup | sed 's/configfile.backup.//' | xargs -I {} date -d @{}

Anyways, how are the power companies divying this power out to users, do some get preferred rates or supply? My rates just went up for the summer period “temporarily”. Our infrastructure is aging hard to upgrade and needs something done to it. Who’s really going to pay for it, these AI companies are throwing big numbers but do they have any real money? Do they have any real revenue after building out massive data centers filling them with the most expensive hardware? These guys are burning cash like crazy.

After a long time I begrudgingly setup window rules for hyprland. What I wanted was the ability to log out and jump back into work with a freshened work space. Right now I’m running on low ram and disk on hyprland and sometimes I need to just quit everything and get back to work quick. So I setup exec-once to start my terminal, browser, and chat. These are my main applications that run on my power fingers 456 (which are on a layer that present under jkl). I use them every time I log in and will need them no matter what I do. When I exec once them, they just dump onto one workspace, you can pick it but no matter the timing, you end up with race conditions that end up with you on different workspaces.

So I setup window rules. I avoided this for a long time, because of my workflow on awesomewm, I thought this manual workspace selection was superior. What I really think happened was that awesomewm was a little trickier for me to figure out what things were named and to actually get the rules setup correctly.

hyprland makes this pretty simple with its great cli.

hyprctl clients -j | jq | grep class

Now that I can see attributes of these windows as I open them I can set up rules for them to go onto the correct workspace, or to float them. I have a couple of things like a file picker coming from a browser showing up in the tiled layout, when a file picker like this shows up, just cover everything up its temporary, no need to squeeze it into the tiled layout.

the file picker float also fixed an issue I had where they would not show up, and lock up brave when its in full screen mode and I don’t realize it.

💭 Performance Difference between RWX and RWO volumes · longhorn/...

Hey all, because of some internal testing I made a couple of experiments on our Cluster related to performance of RWX and RWO volumes. Because this might be of interest to some people I thought I s...

https://waylonwalker.com/shots/

Interesting longhorn storage performance test, author does highlight right away that this is a simulation and not a REAL test. I did not fully understand the storage semantics before reading through this.

RWO - Always presents a filesystem ext4 or xfs
RWX/ROX - Always presents a network share nfs to the pod.

This is an important distinction for applications that use sqlite or a tool on top of sqlite such as diskcache. With sqlite it is not recomended to run over nfs due to missing required file locking mechanisms.

Longhorn storage still provides a lot of benefits to these applications as the storage is automatically replicated, if the node that your application is running on goes offline a new pod will start on an existing node. If you have planned downtime, you can cordon and drain a node. Since the data is available in another location you will be able to start a new pod on anther node. barring your PodDisruptionBudget settings, taints, and affinity, this may happen automatically.

Huge progress on shots not to be confused with shots inspired by https://justin.searls.co/shots/. I’m building out my own instagram grid design, right now its 4 wide, but I wonder if it should be 3 wide to match up with the old instagram grid designs, and I could do cool crops like instagram used to.

I went through a bunch of old gratitude posts and pulled images from all of them, and update all of the images to use dropper while I was at it.

More work after kids bed time and came up with a great concept that needs to go into markata, yes its more configuration. markata is quickly becoming death by config. What I wanted was the ability to make different cards different sizes.

What I came up with was adding “card_classes” to the front matter of the markdown file. This is a list of classes that will be added to the card div when the card is rendered. This way I can make cards different sizes. Here are a couple of good results I had.

Sad day yesterday. We discovered that our freezer was left cracked over a day or so. Kids self serviced themselves to some sausage dogs at some point and wedged the box in the door. Everything was over 40F and done.

Lessons learned for everyone. For the kids, see something say something, food should not come out of a freezer soft and barely fridge temp. For the parents, don’t get in a rush when loading the freezer. If something doesn’t quite look like it’s going to stay out, it probably won’t and next person to use it will pay… Or you will pay when they don’t notice. Last lesson for everyone, when you come home late and tired from a family trip to Grandma’s and hear beeping it’s probably important and investigate.

I need some more ram… Was waiting out prime day, prices went up and haven’t gone down.

The one where I say goodbye to GitHub

AI-generated slop that I thought was worth sharing.

David’s got me looking at Forgejo. I’ve seen a lot of GitHub jumpers just this week, and I’ve been tempted for a long time to self host one anyways, so it might be time. I don’t have hard issues with anything, I just like self hosting my own personal stuff.

On the flipside, I hope this does not turn yet another thing to shit. I lived through the download software from sourceforge and hope you get the right download now button and not the one from the virus ad. I’m not putting my really public/useful projects on a self hosted platform… well not as the only source, I see how that comes off edgy. I like having some trust in the platform. Currently theres a lot of issues with M$ and GitHub using you for your data, but I don’t think injecting virus, malware, bitcoin miners is a worry I have coming from a GitHub release, unless it was put there by the author.

there is literally no universe that this is true 10k lines and its not bug filled crap? ok Lex Luthor, its time to step away from the keys

Is this 10k real production code? Dry in the sense that it hasn’t re-implemented the same s3 api dozens of time? What language are we talking something dense like python? something very verbose like html? Maybe a language where you implement everything from scratch like lua. This matters a lot. Playing with little POC applications that dont mean anything I can quickly come up with 500-1k likes of code that I may never look at again. I’m sure I can come up wtih 10k decent lines of code a day.

But for the same application without duplicating everything over and over? For something that moves the needle and really matters?? every single day?? Consistently +10k, not 10k changes, not 10k deletes of yesterdays code. nah thats wack.

This Web ain’t what it used to be #

I found this post from miriam.codes while reading dbushell’s notes. I kinda agree with Miriam and David here. AI is really making me feel like an old curmudgeon. Every day it gets more enshitified, filled with more nonsense, more hate, more “fake news” which all news gets labeled as these days, nothing is credible to anyone anymore.

What I’m here for is still plugging away at my own site, trying harder than ever to find real people with real websites, who write real content that I enjoy. I’m going to continue staying in my lane, making notes that no one will read, leaving thoughts no one will read, writing blog posts that might reach 10s of people who really care.

YouTube still feels like a safe place. I see more and more AI slop popping up and off, but it doesn’t hit my feed, happy for that so far. I do see a lot of creators using AI thumbnails, Most look obvious, but some feel like uncanny faces of the people I follow and it’s weird. I think I follow the exact average of the 2025 YT watcher, I watch a handful of the top 100 channels, and a bunch of sub 1M average joes. These all feel like people just sharing their story. A lot of them have Orange County Choppers Season 1 vibes, we are just making good content about trying to make it in the world. They haven’t yet descended into the madness that OCC became in its later seasons that was all about building drama that tore the family apart.

It’s facinating how many people are making the jump from mac/windows, not just to linux, not just to archlinux, but to a full on tiling window manager. DHH has omakub and omarchy. Omakub is advertised as easy and for beginners, but many are skipping right over that to go straight for the hard stuff.

DHH mentions hyprland here, one thing I think he is missing is that this is the first real mainstream tiling window manager that is a competitor to i3, awesomewm, qtile that runs Wayland. I think they were able to pull a bunch of great benefits such as lack of screen tearing and animations from this.

💭 20 Percent Time – Ted Merz

2025-08-07T14:19:33Z

Googles 20 percent time is fascinating to me. It seems like a great way for engineers to fill up their tank with new skills, passion projects, and the need to scratch an itch. To me these days it feels like something that would incentivize good talent to join.

I can remember back earlier in my career December and January were slow months for big companies. Riddled with vacation and annual planning cycle. I would use this time to create tools and libraries that would help me move quicker throughout the year.

I clearly remember having a conversation with a colleague several salary grades ahead of me come mid February asking what I was up to. I was furiously pecking away at some of these projects while he let me know that he had been waiting for this years plan for months and had no tasks from the boss.

That said, I don’t think any major tech company is going to adopt 20% time these days. It’s too chaotic, too hard to manage and impossible to measure.

This line from Ted feels exactly why 20 percent time generally blows up and likely turns into another killed-by-google product that has a small user base and is furious about it being killed. With enough of these at least one cough reader cough has affected us all.

We shouldn’t have needed lockfiles

Lockfiles are an absolutely unnecessary concept that complicates things without a good reason. Dependency managers can and are working without it just the same.

tonsky.me · tonsky.me

I wholeheartedly agree that packaging is broken, semver is broken, expecting much better from a system of oss that is built on top of volunteers, passion projects, nights and weekends is a fools errand. With that I disagree that we we dont need lockfiles. Maybe its Nikki’s experience in java and my lack that puts us on this opposite spectrum, but without lockfiles the world changes underneath us as we release. One small change to your source can introduce a whole set of new features/bugs that you did not plan on without a good locking system. It can also cause you to need to do dependency resolution at application build time and not ahead of time.

Letting Ai drive code feels like giving up so much control. It feels like its leaving so many brain cycles open for other things, yet its not quite good enough to do production level things on its own, so we must watch it, we must review it, yet its code can be some of the worst to review left unattended. I’m feeling this right now as I’m avoiding writing a bit of js that I could probably do myself. Some day this is likely to flip, and it will get better and we will spend our brain cycles thinking about architecture, security, marketing, big picture ideas about the problem we are trying to solve, but we are not yet there and as long as we still need to review I find it a much more pleasant workflow to have in a separate window than have it change the whole fucking project for a simple change.

Sometimes, all you need is a mindset shift, a blocker in your mind that holds you back from doing certain things. And for me, I have consumed enough tutorials and posts about Kubernetes, that I need to put to use and create. I have been stuck in the learning cycle, lets push to prod with kubernetes.

This hurts. I know others with this learning style that need to see the full picture before actually doing something with new tech. The way I first got into kubernetes I was looking for the easy route and somehow k8s came up several times as a suggested route Looking for a Heroku replacement, What I found was shocking!, So I dove in head first with k3s and kompose. What I found was that it was not all that hard once you start to see how the pieces fit together, no amount of reading tutorials would have gotten me there.

Does anyone care if you use simple yet fragile bash scripts or heavy weight Kubernetes cluster for just clicking buttons and creating and updating rows in a database? No!

You know what, let’s fucking use Kubernetes.

Let’s Gooo. Use what is right for you and stop parroting kubernets is hard, heavy, for big companies, maybe actually try it first.

Kubernetes as usual is a tool like others, you can’t use one tool everywhere. Where bash scripts work, they just work, where they don’t they fall apart too, kubernetes works like a charm.

Use your grug brains a little and choose wisely! In the end, who the hell cares if you use kubernetes or bash scripts to scale if your users are happy?

sliplane.io

This post feels like it was written by someone who has never tried kubernetes, someone who reads twitter, listens to t3.gg and thePrimeagen (who cant even container let alone kubernetes). If you cant run linux, use bash, build your own docker images, run docker comfortably. If infra is not your thing kubernetes is probably not for you.

Kubernetes Was Built for Google

Just like how react was built for facebook to solve facebook problems with many teams contributing effectively to the same interactive interfaces. Turns out that react is actually a pretty good product if you have a highly interactive page, and if this is your bread and butter, you can make overly heavy static sites with too much build very effectively. It works and runs much of the internet now.

We are getting serious. We need serious tools. Big companies use Kubernetes. We should too. It feels more professional. It sounds like we know what we are doing.

If anyone uses these reasons to pitch kubernetes to me they don’t belong in a position to make any sort of decision. The first one could be a heading with maybe something under it.

But Kubernetes should not be your first infrastructure step. It should be a response to real pain, not an emotional milestone

As with anything, it depends! Keeping with the react example, if you have a team with these skills its a solid choice, maybe its overkill, but you got this skills to start here then go for it.

If you have never given something a real shot then don’t be writing articles shitting on the tech. Actually if you do not have a deep expertise in it you probably should not be writing articles shitting on other tech. If you are the CEO of an alternative, you definitely should not be writing articles shitting on your competition. just build the biggest fucking building in town .

If you are kube curios give kind and kompose a try, you will be surprised at how quickly you can get something up and running in kubernetes. You might be surprised at how easy it is to remotely manage, add gitops workflows with argocd. Give k9s a try and you can see all of your nodes, services, ingress, pvcs, EVERYTHING you have deployed and its status in one easy to use TUI.

I avoided kubernetes for a long time because articles like this told me to and I never gave it a fair try.

Check out just fucking use kubernetes for a satirical opposite take.

This feels great to use, but also seems to kill any startup idea I have, as most of them feel like they could be vibe coded out by someone with a bit of skill and they just host their own. Maybe this is a good thing, maybe we are moving into an era of more people owning their own app they use for themself, maybe i need a security related startup?

I find it interesting how most of these resurrections start with a linux build, and the author giving in and going for linux for the first time and enjoying being able to use something they thought was useless for real work.

That being said I have weird thoughts similar to this guy about being able to take a machine and write a novel somewhere off in the distance, but any time I try to do real work form any laptop these days the ergonomics become so unappealing that I tend to just not do anything away from my desk. Theres something that sounds so great about opening vim on old hardware that could last for hours, sip on coffee and write away, but it never works out like that in practice.

Today I set up hypridle on my hyprland desktop build. It was not too bad, I’m probably going to tweak it as it I go if it bothers me, for now I’m giving it a shot. My monitor is sometimes a PITA to get to wake up, that is my main concern.

paru -S hypridle

Here is the config I landed on.

# dim screen
general {
    lock_cmd = pidof hyprlock || hyprlock       # avoid starting multiple hyprlock instances.
    before_sleep_cmd = loginctl lock-session    # lock before suspend.
    after_sleep_cmd = hyprctl dispatch dpms on && ddcutil setvcp 10 100  # to avoid having to press a key twice to turn on the display.
}

listener {
    timeout = 120                            # in seconds.
    on-timeout = ddcutil setvcp 10 5 # command to run when timeout has passed.
    on-resume = ddcutil setvcp 10 100  # command to run when activity is detected after timeout has fired.
}

# screen off
listener {
    timeout = 3600
    on-timeout = hyprctl dispatch dpms off
    on-resume = hyprctl dispatch dpms on
}

# warning screen is about to go off
listener {
    timeout = 315                            # in seconds.
    on-timeout = notify-send "You are idle!" # command to run when timeout has passed.
}

listener {
    timeout = 330                            # in seconds.
    on-timeout = loginctl lock-session
}

Next I ripped a calendar from the docs. When hovered I get a full year calendar, right click gives me only the current month.

              "on-scroll-down": "shift_down"

  }

I still want to change up the colors, but I’m happy with the usefulness of this for now.

In my adventure to rice out hyprland I set up a sddm theme today, and it looks sick by only changing the wallpaper. I tried out one theme and was pretty happy with the results.

Alright, I ended up ricing out some more, looks so much better than the default sddm theme.

Default sddm.

My only hiccup was the wallpaper needed to be in a path relative to the theme root directory and not an absolute path to my home directory.

This command was super helpful for testing greeter themes.

uv run for running tests on versions of Python

Using uv run with make to replace tox or nox for testing multiple versions of Python locally.

https://daniel.feldroy.com · daniel.feldroy.com

Such a fantastic use of uv, its so fast and flexible and does everything I need that next time I go to set up some more complex testing like this I’m going to lean towards it more than i would something like tox. In the post Daniel sets up matrix testing for testing out different versions of python with the same pytest test suite.

Progress on markata themes, I’m able to get feedback in the terminal. I’m building out a custom color model that will be able to mix and blend colors with intent of this having the ability to work inside of a jinja template, so rather than needing to lean into transparency for mixing I can mix colors with intent.

Now with color mixing we can do subtle changes to things like headings.

fc is pretty great.

Markata themes progress, setting up some visual feedback in the terminal for myself to show themes. Trying to think through how to blend colors to get more automated variations and to get good colors without needing to use transparancy, I was running into issues already trying to lean into transparancy with text bleed.

big fan of eza and dust, I like these aliases to have some common commands at my fingertips. I often use the tree command and yes it sometimes goes too deep to actually be useful.

    alias lt='eza -T --level=2'             # Tree view, 2 levels deep
    alias ltt='eza -T --level=3'            # Tree view, 3 levels deep

    alias du1='dust -d 1'                   # Show only 1 level deep
    alias du2='dust -d 2'                   # Show 2 levels deep

Love this dudes casual dry humor style, not afraid to poke fun at things with his dry ass satire. that being said, fc is new and as a long time fan of up arrow and !! I will be using this often.

fc

2025-07-18T07:52:53Z

I am a linux user through and through. Desktop, server, vms, containers, everything except my phone is linux. With this I spend a lot of time in the terminal, and have been a long time user of !! to rerun the last command, but with the ability to tack something on at the beginning or end.

TIL about fc, which opens the last command in your shell history in your $EDITOR or pass in your editor -e nvim.

man fc

Rcap of how !! works #

!! pronounces bang bang and will run the last command in your history.

ls -l

!! | wc -l
# ls -l | wc -l

sudo !!
# sudo ls -l | wc -l

!!:s/-l/-l \/tmp
# sudo ls -l /tmp | wc -l

`fc` enters the chat #

Now making complex edits in your shell can be a bit of a chore, so fc moves this work to your $EDITOR.

fc

This pops open your $EDITOR with the last command in your history.

sudo ls -l | wc -l

Shell History #

fc shows up in shell history, but !! does not, !! gets replaced by the command that it becomes.

Up Arrow #

yaya yaya, I know you can also up-arrow c-e, but what fun is that, it’s barely a flex. fc just looks big brained and like you really know what you are doing.

TIL pygments htmlformatter is a big win for markata, didn’t have a chance to take notes yesterday, but I’m really working on templates and themes. It’s becoming more important for me as I get more users, i.e. family members blog sites up and running. No one wants to look default, they all want to look unique, learning how to change out themes like this is a good win.

Still working on searchcraft integrations and holy shit is it fast. I’m searching and scrubbing through logs out of cloudwatch at 2ms/search rather than their dogwater 30s+ broken ui not loading, not showing me the logs I want. This is not even apples to apples, cloudwatch chokes on one job worth of logs, I’ve got 500 jobs of logs and searchcraft is eating them up like nothin.

pygments htmlformatter

2025-07-17T19:45:19Z

I’ve been a long user of pygments, it’s been the thing that injects <spans> with funny little class names like sc and si into the code blocks of my website. I’ve even gone as far as implementing a plugin for md-it, but I had no idea how to re-style it. I long ago got a theme that looked good enough from somewhere and just used it, maybe I pulled something from their docs site and forgot. Today I learned you can list all the themes easily from the library itself, and render out new css.

from pygments.styles import get_all_styles
list(get_all_styles())
# [
#     'abap',
#     'algol_nu',
#     'algol',
#     'arduino',
#     'autumn',
#     'borland',
#     'bw',
#     'colorful',
#     'default',
#     'dracula',
#     'emacs',
#     'friendly_grayscale',
#     'friendly',
#     'fruity',
#     'github-dark',
#     'gruvbox-dark',
#     'gruvbox-light',
#     'igor',
#     'inkpot',
#     'lightbulb',
#     'lilypond',
#     'lovelace',
#     'manni',
#     'material',
#     'monokai',
#     'murphy',
#     'native',
#     'nord-darker',
#     'nord',
#     'one-dark',
#     'paraiso-dark',
#     'paraiso-light',
#     'pastie',
#     'perldoc',
#     'rainbow_dash',
#     'rrt',
#     'sas',
#     'solarized-dark',
#     'solarized-light',
#     'staroffice',
#     'stata-dark',
#     'stata-light',
#     'stata',
#     'tango',
#     'trac',
#     'vim',
#     'vs',
#     'xcode',
#     'zenburn'
# ]

from pygments.formatters import HtmlFormatter
from pygments.styles import get_style_by_name
style = get_style_by_name("monokai")
formatter = HtmlFormatter(style=style)
print(formatter.get_style_defs('.highlight'))

And now you get styles that you can add to your css and be any theme from the list above.

pre { line-height: 125%; }
td.linenos .normal { color: inherit; background-color: transparent; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; }

I’m working on hyprland, one thing I am missing from my awesomewm setup is rofi list all running windows. Sometimes I put a browser instance in a different workspace and I cant find it, especially if I’ve full screened something over top of it.

first pass #

look for brave and go to it or make one

#!/usr/bin/env bash

addr=$(hyprctl clients -j | jq -r \
	'.[] | select(.class == "brave-browser") | .address' | head -n1)

if [ -n "$addr" ]; then
	# Focus the existing browser window
	hyprctl dispatch focuswindow address:$addr
else
	# Launch a new browser window
	brave --password-store=basic &
fi

second pass #

If there are more than one cycle between them.

# Get current window address
current_addr=$(hyprctl activewindow -j | jq -r '.address')

# Get all Brave window addresses
brave_windows=($(hyprctl clients -j | jq -r '.[] | select(.class == "brave-browser") | .address'))

num_windows=${#brave_windows[@]}

if ((num_windows == 0)); then
	# No Brave windows, launch it
	brave --password-store=basic &
	exit
fi

# Find the index of the current window in brave_windows
current_index=-1
for i in "${!brave_windows[@]}"; do
	if [[ "${brave_windows[$i]}" == "$current_addr" ]]; then
		current_index=$i
		break
	fi
done

# If we're already in a Brave window, switch to the next one (wrap around)
if ((current_index != -1)); then
	next_index=$(((current_index + 1) % num_windows))
	hyprctl dispatch focuswindow address:${brave_windows[$next_index]}
else
	# Not currently in a Brave window — focus the first one
	hyprctl dispatch focuswindow address:${brave_windows[0]}
fi

third pass #

Generalize it so that I can make keybindings for any app that I can figure out the classname of and provide a start command.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -euo pipefail

class="${1:-}"

current_addr=$(hyprctl activewindow -j | jq -r '.address')

# All windows with matching class

num_windows=${#matching_windows[@]}

💭 Stop Complaining About Ubuntu...Just Switch To Arch Already! -...

2025-07-15T01:48:46Z

DT says it so well in this video, I’ve never really been one to shit on software projects, with maybe a VERY small handful of exceptions. The shitting on ubuntu always rubbed me wrong, shitting on flatpak and snap I never got, shitting on systemd because of Leonard Pottering I never got, DT puts it in such good words here. If you don’t like it you are probably not the target audience.

If Ubuntu is too bloated, don’t try to debloat it, this is not windows, we have options, Ubuntu is one option and so much is intertwined together in something like Ubuntu if you think you want to try to “debloat” it good luck. If you have a problem with Snaps, this is probably not for you. You are probably looking for a distro with more control, probably something that you choose everything for.

Starting the polkit agent for hyperland arch to handle permission elevation for desktop applications.

Error

An error occurred while accessing ‘bazzite-nvidia_razorcrest’, the system responded: Cannot request authentication for this action. The PolicyKit authentication system appears to be not available.: Not authorized to perform operation

!!! GIPPITY

🧠 Why this happens:
Polkit handles permission elevation for desktop apps.

Dolphin uses udisks2 to mount drives, which asks Polkit for permission.

If you don't run a Polkit agent, you won't be able to authorize mount actions from the GUI.

Update on the lab setup and what I’ve been working on recently.

Cloudy with a Chance of Tech · blog.thomaswimprine.com

Always enjoy a good read through someone elses setup. I appreciate the desire for pi clusters they are cute, they seem cheap, but feel a bit overrated (at least for those of us with relatively cheap electricity). I love seeing the refurb “tiny desktops” getting a second useful life in a homelab after they have serve their useful life in the corporate world sitting behind the monitor of some reception desk. These things rock, they are underrated, x86_64, not ARM, so they just work. Until ARM becomes more normalized in the datacenter this is where its at.

Continuing my exploration of Searchcraft I loaded all of my blog into it. It fully posted, indexed, and had my content ready for search in a literal blink. It was like the experience of python devs running ruff for the first time, and having the no way you just did that experience.

Ok so semantic search is so freaking cool, does not compare to fuzzy search at all. I don’t have to include parts of the title or something to find a post. I don’t have to spell things right, I dont even have to get the thing right. I can ask “create a mycraft server in kibinerers” and it takes me to the post about running Minecraft in containers.

What a nightmare this glossary plugin turns out to be, it broke my site. I had it really close, then one more change asked for to the llm, an LGTM and did not look close, it rewrote the whole thing and started rendering markdown with its own renderer not my configured markdown renderer. Its close to working not but moved to post_render and using html/beautifulsoup rather than the raw markdown.

I’m digging these web2app’s from DHH’s omarchy for setting up an opinionated archlinux hyprland. This gives a way to quickly open a web app as an app either with a hotkey or run launcher in its own dedicated window that you can put on it’s own workspace. I really like a workflow of keeping one window per workspace on one monitor and I can quickly navigate between apps with a single hotkey. This gives you the power to switch through things like chat, terminal, browser, steam game with blazing speed from the keybaord, no clicking no searching, just going directly to it.

tmux clipboard on hyprland

2025-07-06T20:45:47Z

Smooth clipboard settings for tmux is critical for my workflow. I’m often grabbing snippets of terminal output to paste into team chats, blog posts, or llm prompts. Admittedly, I’m often doing this with the mouse, unless it’s coming from neovim, which I generally do with motions. Moving from an xorg based setup to hyprland has required me to reconfigure my tmux clipboard settings. This is what I did.

First install wl-clipboard with AUR.">paru.

paru -S wl-clipboard

Next add this to your tmux config. I’ve long had this config, but with only the xorg/xclip setup, now this checks for wl-copy, uses it, or falls back to my old xclip setup.

bind -T copy-mode-vi Enter send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel "bash -c 'command -v wl-copy >/dev/null && wl-copy || xclip -i -f -selection primary | xclip -i -selection clipboard'"
set-option -s set-clipboard off
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi MouseDragEnd1Pane send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel "bash -c 'command -v wl-copy >/dev/null && wl-copy || xclip -i -f -selection primary | xclip -i -selection clipboard'"

command palettes are overrated

2025-07-06T12:37:40Z

Command palettes are slow, and overrated, you should treat yourself better. You probably installed VSC*** out of the box and your co-workers see you using the mouse and reprimanded you as they should. Mouse usage is not OK if you are a software dev, you should have the cheap ass free mouse that came with your cousins dell machine five years ago and only use if for emergencies. If you want to be fast you cannot do that by moving cursors to imprecise locations and clicking with your hand. You are not a caveman, put down the stones and get with the damn times. You need to be moving with precision.

Stage One, the command palette #

So you are taking your first few baby steps away from that Logitech MX Master and you need to get shit done, during these infant months the command palette is your friend. Use it you will be 10x faster than Razer Naga Ron from accounting. If you are in an IDE like VSC*** or a JEttedBrains editor they come with a command palette for running commands and fuzy finding files, use it. If you are in nvim, move on you probably don’t need this, unless you are still teething on VSC***, during that tim use :Telescope commands.

Close the fn Tree #

You don’t need a goddamn file tree open all the goddamn time, its taking up screen space and filling your brain with useless shit. They can be a helpful tool to move, rename, refactor files, or familiarize yourself with a codebase, but you don’t use one if you want to walk someday, so just like the command palette we are going to give it up for fuzzy find. If you are in nvim you are going to want to use :Telescope find_files those other big brained ides have things, look up the keybinding.

Now that we are crawling #

As you start to get your legs under you and you can crawl away from mamas teet note down the commands that you use all the time, we want to get command palette usage way down. Not to zero, without some sort of fuzzy command picker (even :<tab>) you are probably trying to remember too much and allocating too many brain cells to editing text, don’t do that. Resist over-correcting.

assign hotkeys #

Now you need to get yourself some hotkeys going, this is for the hot shit that you use several times a minute. You should be able to do things like swap between the current file and the last file in one keystroke without wasting a single brain cycle, it should be automatic. Go to definition, go to reference, no searching, searching is slow, find_files is slow. These are tools for exploration we are tyring to get real work done here.

Here’s a few things you should be able to do if you want to keep up with your Grandma, she’s been slayin these keys for years.

go to definition
go to reference
find_files
find and replace
rename
git add this file, commit, push
go to the last file
go up and down the jumplist
go up and down the quickfix list
list open files
harpoon all the files you go to regularly
format
move around your files

fly #

Over time you should be using your command pallete less and less, this is not designed to run every goddamn command through. Note the ones you use a lot and add keybinds. If you are using one of those editors that don’t make it clear what the fuck your running when you execute a command ask gippity, it can probably knock out that binding in 30s just fine.

inspiration #

The decline of “vim btw” by Sylvan Franklin. It’s a pretty incredible video, he is crushing these half satire dry humor tech content videos. He nails that with the death of vimBTW we lost the craft of knowing your editor in and out. We lost the art of flying through text. Now we have plugin kitties that say vimBtw, but they really aren’t using any vim features past hjkl.

Even DHH is getting in the mix with omarchy Such a cool transistion to see everyone find their way to linux and diving deep into the freedom and customization.

Failed to gpg setup for kdewallet correctly on hyprland, brave still complains. Maybe someday I’ll figure it out and complete the post.

I installed hyprpm plugins.

Failed to fix Wyatt’s bazzite install, I think he is going to move forward with hyprland as his main. Somehow after trying to dual boot hyprland and bazzite he ended up with bazzite dumping him into recovery mode on every boot and saying the root account is locked.

I did learn how to mount and chroot into a bazzite partition that is running btrfs and rpm-ostree. I’m still only partly sure what I’m doing so not really worth a post about.

Continued full detail on our Van, if its going to last we need to keep up on it, Car Washes are expencive, aint got no extra $$ in this economy, goddamn I sound like an old man.

💭 { TechDufus } | Building a Talos Kubernetes Homelab with Terra...

2025-07-02T01:45:11Z

I’ve ran my homelab on k3s for a year and a half now, and have had talos fomo the whole time. I’m not sure if this article helps or hurts. Helps to see that techdufus struggled and wished he went k3s first, but theres so much good to it that I want it.

Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring (because you can’t manage what you can’t see) #

I’m getting there, ok, I have some of it figured out but not firing on all cylinders like I want.

CloudNativePG #

for PostgreSQL (way better than managing databases manually)

Amen to this, cnpg is kick ass and has me tempted to drop sqlite for my production database default. I mostly make small shit on the side that is never going to blow up. sqlite is really good, but the automation that comes along with cnpg to just run it on all nodes and backups once you establish the pattern with the first one is sick.

🤣🤣🤣 actually read the docs 🤣🤣🤣 #

Is This Overkill for a Homelab? #

Absolutely. Could do most of this with k3s or Docker Compose. But where’s the fun in that?

Speaking my language here! Again I’m well past the 1 year mark of running k3s and i’ve had no regrets. Kubernetes is about establishing and replicating patterns, its a dream to deploy to. It gets so much hate for being obtuse, hard to use, yaml intense. You get full control of ever damn thing you need through configuration, and if you keep it simple you can deploy some sick shit out of it without needing to go hard on the yaml, again, think really hard about it a few times, and replicate.

just fucking use kubernetes

2025-07-01T12:46:33Z

You want to run containers?

JUST FUCKING USE KUBERNETES.

Obvious satire

If you don't like harsh language this is not the post for you.  Obviously

ripping off motherfuckingwebsite.

ThIs is AI SLoP

If you don't like if you can fuck off to the next post, I'm having fun here,

but satire is not my strong suit and needed some help.

“But it’s complicated!” #

Shut up. Close twitter and fucking do something. Life is complicated. You know what else is complicated? Email. DNS. Life. Kubernetes is the least painful way to orchestrate containers at scale. Docker Compose is for your laptop.

Swarm is dead.
Nomad is just sad.
Systemd units? Get out of here.

“But my app is small!” #

SO IS YOUR AMBITION. You could write a bunch of bash scripts and hope they work on prod. You could SSH into servers and handcraft your infra like it’s 2011. Or you could just fucking use Kubernetes and sleep at night.

I can just throw my script in crontab #

Tell that to your boss when your cronjob failed 16 times in the last week without anyone noticing. kubernete makes it fucking simple, want retry ask for it. Hanging script, activeDeadlineSeconds that bitch. Connecting to six other services in your shitty ass infrastructure this shit retries automatically.

“I don’t need autoscaling!” #

Cool. Tell that to your boss when the CEO tweets your link and the site goes down harder than your last date.

“But YAML is ugly!” #

So is your Terraform, your Ansible, your Prometheus config, your custom CI/CD scripts written in Bash, and the spaghetti you called a monolith before you went microservices and made it worse.

“Kubernetes is too heavy!” #

Compared to what?

Your handcrafted, artisanal, single-node LXC setup running on an Intel NUC from 2014?

Heard of k3s? k0s? No. These fuckers will have you running kubernetes running on your grandpas goddamn gateway 2000 right next to AOL messenger without splooging out the the ashes of his Marlboro Reds.

SSH? #

You don’t need no goddam ssh to install your 200lb gorilla editor so you can hand edit your init files and carefully contruct your init system. This is kubernetes, you use the fucking api, all you need is a connection and a kubeconfig. This motherfucker runs containers so you can keep your bitch-ass editor where it belongs, off the fucking host machine!

“What if it’s overkill?” #

What if YOU are underkill?

“How do I do zero-downtime deploys?” #

Probes my dude, you fucking probe your shit. Rolling out a new deployment kubernets won’t cut over to your broke ass release if that shit don’t pass. No more writing janky scripts that SSH into prod and run git pull while praying to the CI/CD gods.

“What if I still fuck it up - How do I roll back?” #

k9s is your best friend, pop that shit open find your broke ass deployment, jump owner to the replicaset and roll that bitch back to the working shit.

I need to scale #

This shit is built in, add a goddamn replica or 6 for fuck sake, need autoscaling use the HPA. This aint your granpas hand fucking crafted pet server, its fucking cattle. Load balancing just fucking happens, don’t think about it just use it, and it will work for your six goddamn friends that actually use your shit.

I want gitops #

Let me introduce you to argocd, this fucker uses helm so one fucking command and your ass is on the beach while your dev team deploys their own shit.

USE KUBERNETES #

It fucking works.
Everyone else is using it.
There are like 500 open-source projects built just to make it easier.
It runs on your laptop, your server, the cloud, and inside your dreams.
It will make your resume better.

Not convinced? #

Here’s your alternative stack:

A bash script that restarts Docker when it dies.
A Makefile that deploys via SCP.
A cron job that prays to the log gods.
A wiki page explaining how to debug your hand-rolled bullshit.
You. Crying.

So yeah #

Save yourself. Save your team. Save your infrastructure.

JUST #

FUCKING #

USE #

KUBERNETES #

(or don’t, and become a DevOps cautionary tale)

principal-engineer-at-meta

2025-06-30T20:22:08Z

Jake Bolam principal engineer at Meta, has some of the best career advice for those looking to become principal or just be better at their craft. This video was such a banger I had to bring it in as a full post, and not just a thought. It was a random YouTube auto play, something that I probably wouldn’t have clicked on given title an thumbnail, but turned out to be very impactful. Jake is such a smart guy with a lot of great insights, and I can tell he thinks really quick on his feet, he just pulled all of these things out of his head on the fly.

YT Algorithm Gold

I don't know what it is about this title and thumbnail, but it gives me "ex

google, ex facebook, ex microsoft, $100M engineer" vibes in a cringy and not satire kind of way. I would have never clicked on it, it autoplayed after a podcast and it hit, immediately I’m like who are these guys? subd and started this post it was so good.

Long On Boarding #

Jake had a super long period of on boarding at meta, he came in as a seasoned leader yet took many months to get going. This was a phase during or near the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and his team was so swamped they were unable to give him time to help him. He felt his on boarding was taking longer than he wanted, and found backend work at Instagram. Moving to Instagram he jumped in and starting making impact quick and found his way moving up the ladder serving as tech lead for several teams.

I grabbed a ton of clips from this video, but did not for this section as it was kinda long.

Always open for a Chat #

As busy as Jake is, he leaves “Always open for a chat” on his internal profile. He does not care about rank into account, the intern can ask for a coffee chat. His key metric is how well is this person receiving information. If they are coming back with the same questions every 3 months he is going to start telling them he does not have the time.

I’ve had a fair amount of personal experience with this. Early in my career I experience quite a bit of higher ranks feeling untouchable, they were impossible to get a hold of, blew you off, and had more meetings than anyone could bear. It made me really look outside the company for inspiration and mentorship most of the time.

There’s always time for coffee #

While I don’t have “Always open for a chat” on my profile, I’ve had many of these types of conversations with my peers. It might be about something career related or more often how to implement containers, cloud, and good practices into small teams.

I remember a course in college shared the famous quote “There’s always time for coffee” and it stuck with me. The demonstration goes that no matter how much you fill your day with big rocks and tiny sand particles, there’s always a little more room for coffee, and he dumps coffee into a jar that he has already filled up.

These conversations often become very impactful. They can lead to having good relationships or job opportunities.

If we are not getting enough feedback, move faster #

Take Down Prod Sometimes #

This was an interesting take. None of us really want to take down prod. No one is advocating for major outages, but this is is not 2005 shipping out software on CD’s anymore. This take 100% depends on what you do and where you work. Obviously some sectors cannot take any downtime; nuclear power, cloud systems supporting nuclear power, navigation systems, idk theres a bunch of stuff. I bet if you are reading this that aint you. You’re probably writing some backend dashboard for the marketing team, or building out a website to upload cat photos on … Wait, thats literally what jake is doing here.

Idea being if you don’t occasionally cause some small production issues, you probably are not taking enough risk. You are moving too slow, getting feedback too late, your competitors just ran past you.

Go where you are rare #

I find this interesting. I’ve found myself within non-software companies doing sofware and data analysis most of my career, the amount of value you can bring by being that one guy that knows some pandas, containerization, how to run a vm is massive in an org that uses excel as its primary database. The rest of the org generally has massive knowledge in the business, but greatly slowed down by their ability to find value in the data.

Do work that you don’t get credit for #

I’ve worked with a lot of people in my 15 years of professional work, and I can tell you the worst ones to work with are the ones that focus too much on value. Every ounce of effort they bring needs to be backed by dollars comming into the business. I’ve seen this shake out a number of ways. You got the guy who sits on his ass all of January waiting for goals to be set, you got the guy who holds everything he knows close to his chest so that he is the one that can take the glory, and you got the guy who wont ever; refactor his code, cleanup, lint, update dependencies, and so on; because that does not have direct line to dollars coming into the business.

The clip goes a bit further than this, and hints at things that are going to enable you and your org to move faster. You might shave off 2 minutes off of ci, or docker builds. You might give everyone an easy way to run dev containers with production like dependencies in a snap. You might give them a way to clone prod data into a sandbox. These type of things provide no dollars to the company, it’s likely that few will notice but damn they add up to an efficient running organization.

Work Diary - the value of writing things down #

This one hits home, for far too long I’ve been in between note taking systems and am finally getting [[ marakta ]] setup to build out a really good zettelkasten style work notes. I’ve kinda had this on my blog for a long time, but not fully. I think the piece that I am missing here is the dumping ground. I don’t yet have a daily notes implementation that lets me just dump idea onto a page that I care little about, but is the process of starting something bigger, crosslinking between people, meetings, tasks, and launchdocs.

I hadn’t heard of the term launchdoc before this, but I took it and I am using it. I generally do an ok doc in the changelog of my products and spice it up to go to the announcement chat channel, but I don’t fully keep record of it, pulling the changelog into a launchdoc gives me that chance to spice it up and have the language it needs to go right into chat.

💭 The decline of "i use vim btw" - YouTube

2025-06-29T17:46:52Z

vim usage is becoming normie level. Just like archinstall made it too easy to install arch and brought normies into the ecosystem. It killed ArchBTW^TM^, distros like lazyvim have killed vimBTW^TM^. It used to be that to run arch, vim, nvim you had to read the docs, and go deep on understanding. running archinstallor lazyvim make it so easy to get started that you miss all of the details, you no longer have to understand ctags, quickfix, what an lsp is, or even how to set your own keybindings. You just use the damn thing, like you would with VSC****. No shame to anyone who does this, but you are probably missing out on a bunch of really useful features of a very core tool in your workflow.

virt manager on bazzite

2025-06-27T21:09:05Z

I got virtual machine manager running on two Bazzite machines today. It was a bit tricky, more than I thought actually. I ran into all sorts of virtualisation not setup issues when I tried the flatpak. Then I found that Bazzite comes with a ujust setup-virtualization command that does all the work for me. I tried that and again virtual machine manager was here, but not working, this time it feels like flatpak issues.

In a Hail Mary attempt I got it working by using an ubuntu distrobox container to run the UI. And it worked!

from the host #

From the host we create the container to use from distrobox. This is an ubuntu machine, it can be any os of your choosing, preferably one that you are familiar with and contains virt-manager in its package repos.

distrobox create -i ubuntu
distrobox enter ubuntu

from inside the distrobox container #

Now that we are in the distrobox we are no longer in an immutable distro and we can easily install anything we want. I actually like this process. I might have shit like this that I use for a month or a few months, on a normal distro, this is fully installed on the os, raises the potential of package conflicts and lengthens the update time.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install virtinst virt-manager
virt-manager

Along the way #

I tried adding myself to the libvirt group, and expicitly setting the socket path. After setting up another machine I realized these steps were unnecessary.

sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER
export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu+unix:///system"
ls -l /run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
virt-install --version

Note

After fully reading through `ujust setup-virtualization` I realized that it

adds me to the libvirt group, so that’s why it is not needed.

An even Better Guide #

I later found [[ thoughts-723 ]] there is documentation for setting up virtual machine manager in distrobox in the distrobox docs. It even calls out running on an immutable distro like bazzite like it knew I was coming.

perfect

2025-06-26T13:55:17Z

Perfect is a made up word that humans use to describe something that is above average, or works really well for them. The idea of perfection is fleeting, as you think more deeply about something, you can continue to chase the idea of perfection to unimaginable senses. Sometimes perfect simply means good enough. Could there be something better, Always, but at what cost. If I spent 10 more minutes on this post would it be better, maybe, but I might fuck it up. If I spent my lifetime studying how humans read and think, sole focused on how it pertains to this post, ya it would get better. When I use this word perfect it’s not meant in the most literal sense of the word, but perfect to me, maybe good enough given the constraints I have, its the best thing I’ve got.

just

2025-06-23T19:02:29Z

I just never quite understood why the word just can send people over the top. I get it when you don’t know someone, you don’t have history with them, and they come in saying you are doing something wrong.

When you say “just,” you’re skipping over all the invisible complexity. You’re assuming the problem is simple, and that the person asking for help hasn’t already considered the obvious.

You’re not seeing the constraints:

Legacy code Business requirements Team conventions Time, budget, or technical debt Platform limitations

~https://www.neverjust.net/

If I’ve worked with someone for more than 6 months, we have established patterns for problems, libraries we use, and they are deep in the weeds of trying to fix something, I want to ask “Why don’t you just do the same thing we do everywhere else?”

I don’t need a snarky ass response, I don’t need you to get bent out of shape about it. I am communicating that I do not know the damn constraints to this problem. I am communicating I am ignorant to the pain you have suffered trying to do something for days that I thought should be copy paste pr up in 10 minutes.

What I want to hear is “Well here’s the story of why this particular one is complex, and let me take you on my travels.” or “I’m about there and don’t have time right now just understand that this is different, we can discuss later.”

My just should not cause you pain, it should not cause you to feel belittled, If we have worked together for any amount of time and have respect for each other, you should understand that this is not coming from a place of belittlement, rather its an open door for you to explain why this thing is not what it seems at surface level.

Just use another library #

~https://www.neverjust.net/

Here Sam asks “Why don’t you just use another library?”, and Alex replies “If it were that easy, I would have done it already.”

Honestly this example is a little vague and non-specific. On boarding a new library to a team can be a big ask. It becomes something that the team has to integrate and depend on, and take on supply chain risk. This example would be better with something more specific, if the team often uses a mix of SQL, pandas, and occasionally pulls out polars for bigger tasks, Sam might legitimately ask “why don’t you just use <insert pandas, polars, SQL>”.

This communicates that Sam see’s the obvious we use polars when things get tough, or we use SQL when data transfer gets too slow.

You are not Dumb #

I want to hear the story. In no way am I calling you dumb, in fact I’m probably claiming ignorance to the problem at hand. I see that you have a lot more time invested than me and I’m offering help, not asking for snarky ass remarks back Alex.

In fact take it as a sign that I am this comfortable with you and that you are so far from dumb that I don’t have to risk being taken out of context.

Or maybe you are #

Or maybe Sam is trying to belittle Alex here, if that’s the case we need to have a conversation and work some shit out or find somewhere else to be, Alex should not be belittled like this because Sam is full of himself.

Suggestions #

~https://www.neverjust.net/

The suggestions are fine, but they feel like they are asking me to hunt around for the problem rather than you recognizing my ignorance to the issue, and let Sam tell me “Why don’t you just use another library?”

Final Thoughts #

In recognizing how much pain this causes others I do try to limit my use of just, it comes out from time to time, though I try not to. I try to remain kind, humble, and helpful. And typically in the first few weeks or months interaction with new teams/people I kinda walk on eggshells for a bit. I don’t know you or where you are, if I make it sound like you are dumb and turns out that’s what people think of you I’m gonna feel kinda bad. Just understand that not everyone is trying to attack you, communication via text is hard, give folks a break before jumping them.

Don’t be an Ass #

This post is not trying to say that you can freely belittle your team, go forth and be the irritating guy on the team that comes off like a know it all. I’m saying when you are on the receiving end try not to take it with such offense and as an opportunity to explain without the need to dance around the issue.

David’s design on his blog is fantastic likely from years of small improvements like this converting ugly quotes to pretty quotes and optimizing fonts.

It’s common for markdown libraries to convert the first to the second like my build script does.

This is new to me, I had no idea that markdown libraries did this, I’m now interested if markdown-it does it.

For subsetting I use the fontTools library but I’ve no idea how to setup Python environments. I got it working once and failed to document the process.

David, David, David, I’m sorry python has done you this dirty. I should do a post on making python environments in the age of Posts tagged: uv. You got options to run in docker/podman, a whole ass vm, uv venv, uvx, uv run, uv script, python -m venv, virtualenv, poetry, hatch, and too many more. The ones that matter are containers or uv.

copier vcs quirks

2025-06-19T08:04:51Z

Copier has a few quirks with vcs that I just discovered by trying to test out some changes. I may have some config that I have long forgotten about somewhere deep in my dotfiles, I don’t think so, but id love to be wrong and corrected, please reach out.

What Doesn’t Work #

I tried throwing everything at this template to make it work. I tried a bunch of flags that did not work. I tried making commits to the local repo to get rid of the dirty warning. I really wanted to test new changes locally without committing and pushing untested and potentially broken changes.

uvx copier copy ../markata-blog-starter .
uvx copier copy gh:waylonwalker/markata-blog-starter@develop .
uvx copier copy ../markata-blog-starter . -wlg --trust

What Works - –vcs-ref #

Finally after trying everything to get the local copy to work, and my guess of @branch not working I found this to work. It does require me to go to the repo on my develop branch.

uvx copier copy gh:waylonwalker/markata-blog-starter --vcs-ref develop .

git">What Works - delete .git #

Really this might be my best option to make quick changes and test them locally without going through a version control system. It is not ideal, but makes it easy to quickly iterate on. I might be renaming .git, or copying to /tmp for quick iteration.

rm -rf .git
uvx copier copy ../markata-blog-starter .

Copier I love #

Copier is a great templating tool. I really love it. I use it every single day to create posts on this blog using Tmux hotkey for copier templates. This is the first time this quirk has got me and it had me puzzled for 45 minutes as I did not expect this behavior whatsoever.

https://github.com/canonical/checkbox/actions/runs/14644718138/job/41098549191#step:8:125

pypi yanks suck, they are rare, this one got me today as it was a pinned dependency in my dependency chain. The latest release broke python 3.6/3.7 (which 3.6 has been EOL for 3.5 years btw), and it claimed >=3.6. In order to allow users to still install xlsxwriter without pinning down it needed yanked. I’m not sure if there was another way around it as pypi releases are immutable, so you cannot fix

This now has me wondering what the heck is using it with old pythons.

It appears to have broken builds on Canonical/checkbox for ubuntu 18.04. Checkbox is a device compatibility testing framework.

Great breakdown of nextjs. I was highly unaware of its performance optimizations before reading this. The smell of vendor lock in from next/vercel has been there from the start, this is the first real claim I’ve seen.

I’m out on modern js front ends, complex builds that change every 6 months, design patterns are out of date just as fast. Its hard to keep up, especially when you don’t have the use case for highly interactive apps. Libraries like htmx or plain ol js gets the job done on the majority of sites and everything I tend to work on.

Vendor lock in disguised as performance. Nextjs aparantly now streams all of your metadata on the fly with js. This would obviously kill all seo right, well not if you’re on vercel they automatically detect search crawlers and serve the metadata. Why the f do they need to do this and not just serve everyone the metadata. The Web is this beautiful place where anyone can create and build amazing things with a relatively low skill. Js is meant to be enhancement, not degrade the experience of its users.

using yek to serialize text files into llm friendly file

2025-06-11T11:01:34Z

I’ve been using gitingest web ui [[ thoughts-516 ]] for quite awhile to serialize git repo into llm friendly text files. This gives tools context about repos that are not in the training data so that it knows about it and how to use the code in the repo. gitingest also has a python library [[ thoughts-517 ]]

I had a use case for a project not yet on git, and found yek.

Installing yek #

Their instructions tell you to curl to bash.

curl -fsSL https://bodo.run/yek.sh | bash

I don’t like curl to bash from random sites, so I have my own self hosted version of i.jpillora.com. I like using this because it pulls from github and I trust github as a source for artifacts as good as the repo I am pulling from.

curl https://i.jpillora.com/bodo-run/yek | bash

Using yek #

yek

/tmp/yek-output/yek-output-bb01e621.txt

This will give you a link to a text file that you can add to many llm tools. This happened so fast for me that I didn’t even believe that it worked properly.

more options #

As with most clis, you can run yek --help to see the options available.

brightnessctl adjust screen brightness

2025-06-11T08:42:36Z

Today I discovered brightnessctl to adjust the screen brightness on my AwesomeWM machine. Its a command line utility that you can use to adjust the brightness of your screen. A command line interface like this gives you the ability to bind keys with something like [[xbindkeys]] or your window manager configuration.

sudo apt install brightnessctl
# or 
paru -S brightnessctl

Now that you have it installed you can use it to adjust the brightness of your screen, this worked particularly well for my laptop screen, I don’t think this works for monitors, in my experience they are usually controlled by the built in osd.

# Increase brightness by 10%
brightnessctl set +10%
# Decrease brightness by 10%
brightnessctl set 10%-
# Set brightness to 50%
brightnessctl set 50%
# Set brightness to 100%
brightnessctl set 100%

Note

on my machine I had to use `sudo` to run the command, otherwise I got the following error:

Can't modify brightness: Permission denied

You should run this program with root privileges.
Alternatively, get write permissions for device files.

I think there is something to be said about getting that quick and dirty POC to the right group of people early for feedback before you add redis caching, kubernetes, auto scaling, disruption budget, distributed nodes, high availability, backups, disaster recovery. At work you kinda have to have the right person to shoot ideas by that can understand that you probably need some of these complex things for your app and it will take time to get right.

Modular CSS Library that brings the beauty of Terminal UIs to the browser

This looks like a very useful formatting tool to keep in the back of my mind. I do a lot of python and our tool tends to be pre-commit, named after the git hook pre-commit. It specifies a bunch of tools to run, you can run them in ci, manually, and opt into doing it before commit. I like the simplicity of this one not needing a whole ecosystem, but rather just leveraging the cli commands from those tools. This would probably be something that would get in the way of setup for new devs and not something I would throw on one project by itself, its another thing for everyone to figure out how to install and run on every platform, I’m sure its not hard, but being on python teams pre-commit just fits in.

Focus on the joy, not the suck. Nothing you do in life will be absolute pure joy with no downsides forever, life does not work that way, your brain does not look that way. Look at anyone who ever got massive billion dollar payouts for something like minecraft and how much their life is not glorious when they have nothing to really look forward to.

Prime talks about it in almost a cliche way, every boring ass task is an opportunity to grow. This is so real though, if you look at every task ask a shit you gotta do to check that jira ticket off and make bossy lady not scream at you its going to be a hell. If you rather look at it as opportunities to implement new features in new ways or learn something to better yourself and watch yourself grow you are going to take a big dopamine hit. I think prime talks about this in the sense of larger projects. He as talked about his experience being much less of a daily standup, but more of a ok we got three months to figure this out lets go boys. When you are stuck in that daily jira grind it’s harder to see that larger picture of the learning and growing you are doing over the course of 3 or 6 months.

2025-06-07T22:49:47Z

Should I go to college? Was my education worth it? Should I keep going. A question that comes in all too often accross most industries that require some level of education. DHH has such great takes on it, some I had never fully thought about. He starts out with should we have people study niche topics (using Russian Poetry as an example). Yes the world deserves people who can make their life works out of something that brings them and many other so much joy, but no you probably shouldn’t go 100k’s into debt to do it. Should I get a software engineering degree, or become a doctor also have similar answers, it needs to be somewhat justified and not outrageous as has become the norm.

We used to listen in to Dave Ramsey on long car rides and he would have people call in and say, they went half a million dollars into debt to become a dentist, only to discover they did not want to do dentistry. At this point it’s too bad, you gotta suck it up and pay that off with something that makes some serious cash, and the only skill you probably got that can bring in that level of cash is … dentistry.

They dive into the college experience, learning to have adult debates with classmates about which direction a project should go or how to complete it. Great stuff!

Something I had never put thoughts to is how do you feel when class is cancelled or an assignment is removed. Are you excited to “not have to do it”? I’d bet that most people do. That’s probably a good sign that you are there for the wrong reasons. What other industry do you pay a f*** ton of money for a product and be like nah ill just take the receipt, you keep the thing.

This all just gets your foot in the door. If you spent none of that time learning it will become apparent really fast and you will not climb the ladder. Yes climbing the corp ladder is cliche, but at some point you probably want paid more and get opportunity to make more decisions. And if it turns out you really suck, you’re going to find yourself looking for a new job with no skill and a big pile of student debt sitting behind you.

Student debt is probably one of the biggest issues of our generation that only appears to be getting worse, everything signals your need to go to college, presige is important. It feels like the other side is filled with glory lots of money and you will have all that debt paid off in no time. I get it when you’re 18 and you see 50k or 100k in student debt, but 80k or 150k salaries on the other side its like damn I make nothing right now I’ll have that paid off in no time. Then you get out and realize everything costs serious money, housing, kids, cars, broken AC units, and you cant pay off 50k in a year and a half making 80k.

I’ve never heard of niri, or a scrolling window manager, it looks quite interesting. I think tiling window manager misses out on named sessions and hotkey straight to tmux sessions, Brodi mentions not using tmux right before this segment. Niri looks quite interesting, but looks like it suffers specificity. maybe there are other tools that allow me to jump straight to something like brave, or steam, but I don’t see how I could jump to a specific terminal.

The ethics of README ads

Will McGugan · willmcgugan.github.io

I’ve long avoided running ads on my blog for the same reason. For a few months I ran an ad above the fold. It was a “Your Ad Here” kind of thing, and in the messaging I was looking for content relevant to my content, not google driven ads. This resulted in nothing, no hits, not a one. I’m kinda with Will on this one beer money is not worth degrading the project for. I seriously thought some of the big projects with a moderate level of success got a good cut for these sponsorships. Some of the companies are big companies, like how do they even go through meetings and decide who gets beer money without spending more than that in decision making resources. Maybe they have a guy with more autonomy than I would expect.

minio/minio - Docker Image

hub.docker.com

Browsing for the minio tag that I have running right now I discovered that you can do minio --version and you get the same version that matches the docker tag, this is super convenient and helpful. I also notice that they use timestamped version numbers. I kinda dont mind this. It feels easy to understand how far behind it is. I really appreciate that the version in the container matches the version inside the container.

It’s not as pretty or flexible as semver, it does not communicate trees of majors and minors, but how often do we continue supporting/patching older majors and minors, in my experience only really big teams or teams with sufficient motivation are doing this.

food for thought.

unset multiple environment variables

2025-06-03T11:21:11Z

You can unset multiple environment variables at once. I did not know this was a thing, its something that ended up happening organically on a call and asking someone to run unset. They had never done it before and did not know how it works, but did exactly as I said instead of what I meant. I like this handy shortcut doing it in one line rather than each one individually, I will be using this in the future. You might need this for something like running aws cli commands with localstack.

i3lock on AwesomeWM

2025-06-02T14:40:56Z

i3lock is a fantastic lockscreen for tiling window managers.

If you are using a tiling window manager within a public space you need to add a lockscreen. I have one machine that I take with me to a public space. Its secure enough that I can leave it, but not secure enough that I want to leave it unlocked. So when I need to leave it behind for the restroom I need to lock it up.

arch wiki

paru -S i3lock
# or
apt install i3lock

Now that you have i3lock installed lets lock that screen.

# lock it with a pure white flashbang
i3lock

# lock it with a black background
i3lock -c 000000

# lock it with a custom color
i3lock -c 2e1330

# lock it with a wallpaper
i3lock -c 000000 ~/Pictures/Wallpapers/mywallpaper.png

You can use your window manager or something more generic like xbindkeys to set a hotkey. This way you don’t have to open a terminal and type out the command every time you leave your desk. You can just press something like SUPER+L like you would on other OS’s.

Fancy #

If you like it a bit fancier, you can use i3lock-fancy, it can blur, pixelate, and greyscale your current screen. I did not really like this because you can still tell what is going on the screen. It’s probably secure enough and looks better, but I went with regular i3lock.

paru -S i3lock-fancy-git

apt install i3lock-fancy

Villagers are really hard to get gong. We have this huge villager tower on the server, we nearly every bed filled, and one day we logged in and there were three. Not sure what happened until I witnessed one of them jump maybe 3 blocks down and off himself. I checked my last two villagers and they were each on one or two hearts left. We almost lost every single villager on the server.

villager-tower-needs-repopulated.mp4

To get villagers to breed and make baby villagers you need beds, which we already have, and food. I gave my guys some food and they started making baby villagers immediately, crisis averted as we start to get the first few fresh full health villagers on the server.

2025-05-31T20:58:05Z

This talk about live store really made me think about database transactions in a new way. They are talking about live-store, and the complexity of distributed applications like a notes app with the ability to go offline and continue working. The complexity of resyncing each instance is not simple, conflict resolution accross all the possible installs that may or may not even be online is a really hard problem. They go deep on discussing an event driven paradigm that is driven off of a log of events and how this changes how we deal with databases. Using the event log as the source of truth we can do things like forget about database migrations, we can replay all of the events onto a new database. Its very interesting to rethink in terms of a log system that speaks in terms of understandable events (not table operations) as the source of truth for an application.

my nvim spellcheck setup

2025-05-31T20:11:59Z

I’ve gone too long without a proper spellcheck setup in nvim. I know it’s there, I just don’t use it, I don’t have the right keybinds, like I do with vim date, to make it work, and its clunky.

Default keybinds #

z= show spell suggestions
zg add word to dictionary
zw remove word from dictionary
]s jump to next misspelled word
[s jump to previous misspelled word

I really struggle with bracketed keybinds, they don’t flow for me. I have to shift into it and hit two keys, you cant just pop through them with intent, it always feels clunky to me.

Custom keybinds #

I barely use F-keys in my keymap so that was free game. On my keyboard I have F1-F9 in a numpad layout on my right hand, so F4-F6 are home row, these are super easy to pop through and update. I really refrain from using such high real estate keys like this unless it’s for something good, and I do a lot of writing in nvim, so fingers crossed I use the heck out of it.

jump to next misspelled word
jump to previous misspelled word
show spell suggestions

I still use zg and zw, they seem fine to me.

The Setup #

In my keymap.lua file I added these to the end, they are working so far and hopefully I use spellcheck more on my posts now that I’ve made it easy.

set("n", "<f4>", "]s")
set("n", "<f5>", "[s")
set("n", "<f6>", "<cmd>Telescope spell_suggest<cr>")

One Failure #

I went down a long rabbit hole before this trying to populate the quickfix with spelling errors, I tried looking for existing plugins, tried to get ai to give me a good prototype to start with, and everything was over complicated. So far I’m really liking this setup.

You don’t need a mentor. There’s no secret sauce left inside anyone’s head any more. It’s all been tapped, bottled, tweeted, and shared a million times. Sample some of that, but also guard your ignorance. You’ll lose it soon enough.

It takes work, one on one hand holding is a shortcut. Sometimes one that we need. Sometimes we need to level up quick, hence why your job might pair you up with someone for the first few months, but it is not something you need, you can figure shit out on your own with hard work. These days we have things like gippity to bounce ideas off, and you can generally get the sense of the direction the average of the internet it was trained on. Always add your own experience and make a choice for yourself.

Writing about the big beautiful mess that is making things for the world wide web.

A guide to RSS for the less tech savvy.

Maybe we need a little more friction in the world. More things that merit our time. Less things that don’t.

I can resonate with this post, less friction feels like it leads me to thinking less, having less skin in the game, understanding less, feeling less fulfilled. Vibe coding is a new trend of 2025, it feels like the future, but it does not quite feel like the present yet. It’s riddled with errors and I only get frustrated when it doesn’t work. I like having some friction that leads me to think and pay attention. There might be a future where this is not required for some things like coding up crud apps, but that does not feel like today.

💭 A Gentle Intro to RSS

A Gentle Intro to RSS

Derek Kedziora · derekkedziora.com

Some of the best things from the old internet are still preserved with RSS. Content is shared via simple files, which means the slow-loading, ad-stuffed and tracker-filled clutter of the modern internet are mostly absent.

There aren’t any algorithms. RSS readers are wonderfully dumb. There’s no AI sifting through content to find whatever will outrage you the most. You just get new posts and mark them as read. It’s a calmer world.

With RSS I follow lots of people writing about normal people things. People blog about getting back into playing the drums, a fun book they just read, a tough problem they’re working through and the other day to day things of life. This type of content tends to get buried on social media — it doesn’t get the clicks and sell ads like fear and outrage do.

I feel like a curmudgeon, but i feel all of these things. I dont think that the new web is completely terrible, what is terrible is that the options of an algorithm ran by companies with differing goals is seemingly the only option. RSS still works, its fantastic, I personally love it, but theres only a small fraction of the internet that it reaches both ways. Few people have a reader, even fewer have a feed.

This is a very interesting cli, its so simple. I stumbled accross the gi command awhile back and was like pfft, I dont want to install something for that. Didn’t even realize that you don’t install it, its just http. Their install instructions lead you to putting a curl funtion in your bashrc.

💭 My Keyboard Has Sublayers… and It’s Insane - YouTube

2025-05-29T13:04:50Z

linkarzu has a way to navigate his entire mac using a hyper key. Everything looks so tight and polished, also a lot to remember! Lucky he has a system of mnemonics that make it easy to remember. His setup is very Mac focused using mac only apps, so this would not work for me, though I’m sure I could get something similar on linux. He did mention Kanata which is cross platform.

What I do #

I use a far different system that is fast loose and easy. On every system I run I have 9 workspaces that let me put 9 applications, I can easily move apps to different workspaces and have a side by side if I need. The core of what I do is terminal, web browser, and chat. Those go on workspaces 4,5,6, whch are home-row keys. If I’m running obs, that is on 8, steam goes on 1. but I have some freedom to move. Sometimes 2 will be an image editor or a video editor, sometimes something else all together, but I can quickly go to each app.

What I like from Linkazru #

I do like his layered approach. I run a 42 key keyboard so things can get a bit cramped quickly. And when thinking in mnemonics you only get 26 letters in the alphabet, but prefixing these with another layer this number goes up exponentially. Sublayers sound sick to be honest.

kubernetes node labels

2025-05-28T18:49:19Z

If you need to target a specific k8s node in the cluster, you can use labels. You want to treat your nodes as much like cattle as you can, but sometimes budgets get in the way. You might be like me and just run any free hardware you can get in your cluster, or you might have some large storage or gpu needs that you can’t afford to put on every node in the cluster.

kubectl get nodes --show-labels

# add the bigpool label
kubectl label node k8s-1 bigpool=true
kubectl get nodes --show-labels

# remove the bigpool label
kubectl label node k8s-1 bigpool-

To use the label in a pod set spec.nodeSelector to the label that you applied.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: busybox
spec:
  containers:
  - name: busybox

Linux Is About Choice

2025-05-27T13:37:00Z

This Luke Smith video came across my feed Linux, Bitcoin: When Tech Projects Become “Too Popular…” Don’t forget the goal.. It’s interesting to hear his perspective about Linux, FOSS, Free Software being the end goal, and that we are loosing sight of the goal. This sentiment really aligns with the early FOSS movement from Stallman, but was this ever the goal?

Taken over by apathetic interests #

Luke talks about these projects getting taken over by people with no passion for the original goal of freedom and privacy. They want the projects to grow, get bigger, and become mainstream. This feels exactly the opposite of anything Luke would want, so my bias alarm goes off here. Honestly I do see some of the grossness of projects like this that were grassroots, for freedom and privacy get taken over for money grabs. I’m completely out on bitcoin so I cannot make any comment there, but I Truly believe that the Linux kernel is not a money grab as Luke makes the new face of bitcoin sound.

Corporate backing is OK #

I’m going to take a counter point here from Luke, that it’s OK for Companies to be made, and money to be made on FOSS. While the Nats relicense has caused a Kerfuffle, I appreciate their side of the relicense, as a they discussed on The Changelog: NATS and the CNCF kerfuffle | Derek Collison shares NATS/Synadia story. They had a struggle to make money as a small project in the Linux Foundation. Large companies would not pay for their service as they have already paid into the foundation. They chose to relicense new versions of the server so such that it would become FOSS after 2 years. This gives them time to pay for their development.

Rug pulls, price gouging, and other bad behaviors aside Funding is overall good for the FOSS community. It is a good thing that Torvalds is able to make a living from the work he has done on the kernel.

FOSS hardware #

Luke mentions FOSS hardware in the video. I think this is great and really plays to the longevity of a product and limiting e-waste. I think the main goal here is not necessarily openness, but repairability. At least for me. I could not care to build out ram or hard drives from scratch, but what I do care is that I can repair my hardware. I don’t want my investments into hardware to go to waste and be thrown away because of a component failure. I get that we are largely there on the mobile side, and that really sucks.

Choice #

I really feel like the goal of Linux is choice, its not locked into FOSS. FOSS is a great option, and is really only there for Linux, and not at all an option for Windows or MacOS. I’d argue that at the beginning of the Linux project there was no choice your only real option was closed source all the way around. These days not only do we have the freedom to choose an OS, but we can choose how we want our Linux. If you want to deploy Linux at a large company, and you are willing to pay for support from someone like Red Hat or Canonical that’s an option, but its not the only option.

macOS Power User Asks DistroTube: Which Linux Never Breaks?

In this interview DT talks about getting new hardware sent to him, and they ask do you want us to put Linux on it? His answer, No, it doesn’t matter, I wont use it anyways. You see DT is not here purely for the Linux, he is here for the choice. His choice is to pick every last config option, and tailor every installed executable to fit his needs. His preferences happen to be in the full Free as in Freedom realm.

Infinite Linux #

Linux has infinite options of configuration, hundreds of distros, hundreds of desktop environments. You can Choose a Floating window manager, Tiling window manager, or go full TTY with no graphical environment. With MacOS and Windows you get it the way they decide you get it with a level of configuration that pales in comparison to what you get on Linux.

Immutable Linux #

A very recent and modern example of this is immutable or cloud native distros, the idea is that they are more like an appliance, giving you less freedom and control than you typically would have on a normal bare metal install of linux, bootc is just really taking off this year. I’m currently running one of these distro’s called bazzite and I am really loving it. I have a couple of desktop applications that I install from the discover store as flatpaks, but mosty I live in a fully custom distrobox that I put every ounce of ricing and configuration that I want into. For me it has been ultra reliable, rather than rolling my own thing that is a combination of packages unique to me, I have something that is rock hard in the community and I run versioned images of my devtainer that make it easy for me to roll back on if something were to break.

For me this is feedom, I get to fully control the environment I really care about, my terminal. I get a window manager with 9 workspaces that I can hotkey to, and I never miss a game night with my kids due to some weird graphics issue.

Freedom #

In the end Linux was born of this freedom, and is an important part. While its great that there are players here that are able to make money, be good citizens and give back, there are bad players. Even if all the players are good not everyone is going to agree and money will only spoil their hurt feelings even more. If Linux looses this freedom of choice and becomes something that you only get littered with Closed source software, or on paid platforms, or imposes any level of restrictions on to you its lost, and we need a new revolution to rise in its ashes.

Fin #

I’m trying to write more free flowing articles philosophical in nature. There are probably grammatical and spelling misttakes. There are probably things I will re-read in 6 months and not agree with, but these are my free flowing thoughts right now. I think we are missing really good opinion pieces on the internet these days. Too much AI generated, “Hello World”, shoulda read the docs BS. I subscribe to a lot of other good folks that give their real opinions you can find them on my blogroll.

Markata got a shout out part way through the latest episode of LNL, I will go back, re-listen and take some of the feedback. His thoughts on Markata were interesting. On one hand it really is a thing for me that works for me, and as a person with too many side projects I don’t have the focus to really give it polish. On the other hand it really confirms why listen to podcasts, news, finger on the pulse, opinions and how often these guys are wrong, they are not the expert they probably look at 6 things like this a week. He said that it was some sort of javascript thing, that maybe he could fix or customize with javascript if he wanted, kinda shocking, I thought maybe I accidentally added node modules or something dumb, nope, I have a whopping 1.4% js. So most of the comments were plain wrong. I get it he probably peeked at it for 30s and realized it wasn’t the thing for his problem. At the same time I should probably do a better job at marketing what it really is, cleaning up the docs and demo.

It feels like so many things are trying to divide and create hate. “This” is what we should be doing with social media. There are a lot of elements of “there are two ways to have the biggest building in town, tear down all the bigger buildings, or just build the biggest fucking building”, If you want to be successful in X then surround yourself with others successful in X. This is a catalytic skill that everyone needs to have in their belt.

Great conversation with Billy Basso the creator of Animal Well on the code architecture of Animal well. It’s all hand crafted C++. He talks about early games he tried to build being heavy in oop, and really got lost in oop. Animal well is very flat, there is no inheritance, just lists of entities that all implement similar methods in their own way. Layering and order of entities becomes very important. Its crazy how much he had to think about hardware and MS build being very helpful with this, but needing to know all of the console apis.

No docs, no bugs

Bugs exist when your test-enforced implementation fails to match the behavior described in your documentation. Without documentation a bug is just undefined behavior.

This is quite an interesting thought, so does this mean that, none of my undocumented side projects have bugs? no I think there is still some implied behavior that naming things covers. a function get_bucket_contents implies doing something wtih s3, getting stuff from your local filesystem or crashing would be considered a bug. I think the argument here is that if I start mining bitcoin when you call get_bucket_contents and I have not documented it that this is a feature not a bug. If I were to take this a step further, now do I need to document that this does not also start a bitcoin miner? maybe this is more of an unwanted feature than a bug, I’m convincing myself more and more.

tinyapps

2025-05-22T14:31:29Z

I’m working on replacing my usage of google inline search apps with real apps, these are ones that I create and host on my own homelab. The first three that I created are mostly chatgpt based, with a bit of hand edit after the fact, uploaded to minio and become an app on my k8s-pages

renamed

The original title of this post was "Replacing Google Search Apps With Self Hosted Web Apps"

I’m leaning on web wakelock to keep the screen on while these apps are running, primarily clos, timer, and stopwatch.

Clock #

A large displya clock.

Timer #

A simple timer that counts down from thet set time.

Stopwatch #

This is the one that inspired it all, I need to run a few stopwatches at work, and chose to just do it right in the google search with a few tabs running.

Dice #

A simple dice roller, this one is the one that I decided to start adding ? for help.

UUID #

It displays a uuid, thats it. ctrl + c to copy.

b64 #

Today i spent some time on b64, it is a base64 decoder/encoder. Just start tying to enter text, or paste, escape to deselect the text box, d to decode, e to encode, ? for help. It took a bit to get all of the keymaps right with the differnt modes and make sure that for instance you don’t keep typing in the input box while in help mode, or decode/encode while in the input box.

PocketCal #

This one is not mine, it’s made by Cassidy Williams), but is within the ethos and deserves a mention here. Its a single page calendar that is a static site completely rendered on the front end, data is stored in the url as you interact with it. None of your data goes to a server.

qrcode #

Today I wanted to finish an article that I was on afk and It killed me to get it from my work computer to my phone, so I made a qrcode generator. Paste in or type in your message and it shows up as a qr code live. This one needed an event listener for window resize since the library creates a rigid canvas qr code that does not fit on the screen once you create it then resize the window.

I even added query params to pass hex codes in for color and bg.

web wakelock

2025-05-21T20:50:22Z

I’m trying to replace my usage of google inline search apps with real apps, today I used a stopwatch to time some things out at work by opening stopwatch. This was something I just wanted running in a tab on another screen, it was not timing running code or anything, I was using it as a reminder to check browser caches every 5 minutes or so for some testing.

So tonight I whipped up a stopwatch, clock and timer, all of which are using the wakelock API to keep the screen on while the app is running.

    // Wake Lock support
    let wakeLock = null;
    async function requestWakeLock() {
      try {
        if ('wakeLock' in navigator) {
          wakeLock = await navigator.wakeLock.request('screen');
          console.log("Wake lock acquired");
        }
      } catch (err) {
        console.error("Wake lock error:", err);
      }
    }

    document.addEventListener("visibilitychange", () => {
      if (wakeLock !== null && document.visibilityState === "visible") {
        requestWakeLock();
      }
    });

    requestWakeLock();

Textual - The future of Textualize

christopherbiscardi.com

Interesting take on kubernetes from a front end perspective. All valid arguments to me, and really the answer to any do you need to any specific implementation of tech is probably no. We got along just fine before k8s ever existed and you still can, but its really nice in a lot of cases. If your skills lean toward backend or infrastructure I encourage you to give it a try.

k8s distros #

There are a lot of beginner friendly k8s distros that you can setup with relative ease, kind and k0s are great for single node, If you want multi-node k3s is what I generally use. If you want a very lightweight OS that you only interact with through an api, and has a very small attack surface talos is an amazing product.

When else might you want k8s #

Internal, on-prem, self hosted. If you are trying to avoid the cloud for cost, rules, regulations, red tape, kubernetes is a great option to manage your container workflows yourself without needing to have a cloud budget, get approvals and sign offs on running workflows in a public cloud.

m9a devlog 1

2025-05-11T09:33:44Z

It’s sad to see textualize.io close the doors, but textual is still alive and maintained as a n open source project. I tried to use it very early, and struggled, this was before docs and tutorials really existed, before a lot of the widgets and components existed. Then as we all do I got busy and moved on to other things in life and did not have the capacity to build TUIs.

I like tuis #

I like tuis, I like staying in the terminal. I use lf daily to move files around when I want something more than mv and cp. I use k9s hourly to monitor and manage my kubernetes cluster.

Are they worth the effort?? #

As awesome as tui’s are, they are more effort to build, and less automatable. I feel like the first stage into automation of a project really needs to be a good cli, and this is often good enough for the project and I move on.

m9a (em - nine - ah) #

inspired by k9s

Like I said I really like k9s and use it all the time, It really makes running kubectl commands a breeze and much less verbose. I don’t know how useful this will be, but as a learning exercise I am working on a k9s experience for my blog generator markata.

m9a-1-trimmed.webm

Learning #

So far this is just for learning and not quite the most useful thing, I am not sure if there is a way to do it, but I am interested in the idea of some sort of framework (maybe just widgets) that can more easily turn pydantic objects into this kind of tui. I don’t quite know how it would work, or if it could work, for now just exploring the idea, and I think I hit a fairly crude clone of k9s so far.

2025-05-10T14:27:58Z

Textual is a TUI framework for Python, inspired by modern web development.

Textual Documentation · textual.textualize.io

Ultimately though a business needs a product. Textual has always been a solution in search of a problem. And while there are plenty of problems to which Textual is a fantastic solution, we weren’t able to find a shared problem or pain-point to build a viable business around.

I can totally see this. Finding a marketable business idea is not easy, working in the developer space where everyone wants to do it themselves is no better. Textual specifically I could see, I really wanted to build things on it as it came out, I had ideas, it was hard to use at the time and changing, so I took a break, got busy with far too many other things, and really I ’m good with rich most of the time.

I daily use k9s, its absolutely amazing at what it does and appreciate that I could build something like it in python, its just hard to justify the time investment for the things I tend to work on.

Which is why Textualize, the company, will be wrapping up in the next few weeks.

Damn, that hit hard, its been an adventure watching textual get built, things like posting look fantastic! Glad to see that its still alive with open source and Will is not leaving, but there will be no company. This likely means significanly less velocity, but it might mean that not being tied to making money other opportunities open up.

Thanks for giving us amazing terminal products Will.

Now “too much magic” is not the same thing as “bad magic”, although they are often conflated. Bad magic is when the implementation details leak out from the level below. This can manifest itself as cryptic errors that reference the magic’s implementation.

Tech Raven Blog - · blog.techravenconsulting.com

Do you remember regression models from college: given some data, you find a best fit line that allows you to predict Y given X. At the end of the day, ChatGPT, and LLMs in general, are the same thing as the regression model – it’s just that ChatGPT is the largest and fanciest model we currently have to model language and information.

I really am coming to the idea of calling it a “word calculator”, this seems to be the most succinct description of llms that the lay person can comprehend and relate to.

ChatGPT does not hallucinate or become unhinged

I think Steve goes much deeper on this in his intervew on fafo.fm. They describe it more as a pleaser or “yes man” essentially all the companies that are building these models want to give the “best” answer, better than their competitors. With this comes the risk of it being completely wrong, they are designed to always give an answer.

On that episode they talk about how each word has a statistical probability tied to it and in some visualizations you can see the confidence, in almost every example of “hallucination” you will find some set of very poor confidence followed by BS. Thats not to say that every time there is low confidence there is BS though, that is why this is such a hard problem.

ChatGPT is not a replacement for search

I’ve become really bad at this. This is slowly becoming my starting point for a lot of research, not my only research, but the first wet finger in the air. Most often done with low effort, low risk tasks.

In ChatGPT, just like in the shelf full of the Encyclopedia Britannica I had when I was a kid, information on topics has been reduced to good summaries and presented in logical format. In this case we have removed the human authors and replaced them with a very large neural network.

I really like this description and it matches up with my last comment.

“I’d rather read the prompt”

Clayton Ramsey grades student assignments and gets papers that are just obviously ChatGPT output. I think any of us can spot it by now: awkward repetitive prose, heavy on bullet points with bold in…

I’ll triple down on the link-blog chain here, see this one going around all over this week and finally had time to read through when it hit my rss reader via Chris.

It should come as no surprise that nearly every vibe-coded app on the Internet struggles with security issues; look no further than the vibe-coded recipe app that leaks its OpenAI keys. Every time one generates code by prompt, they create a new stillborn program; vibe coding is the art of stitching together their corpses into Frankenstein’s monster.

Damn, that is a strong statement, stitching together the corpses, strong statement here. The OpenAI key thing feels kind of obvious to me, every set of docs, blogs and examples on the internet need to be runnable for people to learn and try out new tech easy, putting secrets in the wrong place is easy, putting them somewhere that you can decode them without sharing them is hard team specific, app specific, and so nuanced to your architecture that its rarely included in public examples. I imagine there are a lot of good code example out there that follow good practice, but it feels like that might have missed the training data here.

It alrso reminds me of thought-625-the-rule, where prime talks about small apps being happy and easy and at some point every change is hard, and likely impossible to vibe code.

The whole point of making creative work is to share one’s own experience - if there’s no experience to share, why bother? If it’s not worth writing, it’s not worth reading.

llms are not capable of being creative, they are word calculators, statistical models that predict the next likely word based on their experience, they are not capable of new discoveries.

2025-05-09T13:01:16Z

Under 2000 everything is happy, green field. Any decision you have made is relatively easy to back out of (barring you making a library with downstream users), but as you go, regret kicks in. Regret we didn’t make that pydantic 2 upgrade earlier, as new features become more apealing. Regret that we chose sqlite for simplicity, speed, agility, and now we might need robust and distributed. Regret that you chose a front end framework, or to have a front end at all to a backend problem. Regret that you put 6 layers of abstraction on your db early on and now that you understand the problem you want different abstractions, but all of your endpoints deeply depend on the current one.

Vibe coding will not save you, it will only make these wrong decisions for you without the context that you have. You will hate it’s decisions more because you had no input into some of them.

These days very few things are written as a monolith, and hence there are a lot of interactions that really need to play well together accross various systems.

They call out Crowdstrike here, which took down the world blue screening critical windows systems everywhere in 2024. It was revealed that a small changed was rushed through and skipped critical rollout paths since it seemed like a small change. Crowdstrike also runs at a super low kernel level of access and a small memory bug can kill the system.

Kubernetes Monitoring Helm tutorial | Grafana Loki documentation

waylonwalker.com

I’m trying to level up my sre game. I’m trying to set up grafana dashboards for everything and it is such a wide surface area. It’s never just one thing you have to have 3 or more things hooked together in order for the data to flow.

I’m really getting not invented here vibes, and thoughts that I can just build this myself. Not grafana and it’s scalability necessarily, but small components of observability.

grafana dashboards as k8s configmap

2025-05-06T20:24:35Z

I’m trying to learn proper logs, monitoring, otel, and grafana. Today I imported a bunch of pre-made k8s dashboards and made a few of my own for specific apps, and it made me want to know how I can turn my own custom dashboards into infrastructure as code. Turns out grafana makes it pretty easy to do this, if you have the grafana dashboard sidecar running. It will pick up any ConfigMap with the grafana_dashboard label and import it.

Go to Dashboards -> Pick a Dashboard -> Export -> JSON.

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap

hollow knight home row layout

2025-05-05T20:44:36Z

I just made it past 100% in my main hollow knight run, so now I will allow myself to get silksong when it comes out. I did this with a little bit of YT guidance, but mostly just figuring it out. I only just discovered the ⭐ ReznoRMichael hollow-knight-completion-check which got me an extra 2% for a few items I must have got and not saved on, because I was sure I had them.

Controller #

Hollow Knight is a game that can be played with keyboard or controller, You can use analog stick for movements, but they just translate to dpad, there really are no analog moves in the game. This makes it ripe for playing on pure keyboard. I really favor controller when there are more than one analog (throttle, brake, steering for example).

On controller I’ve switched to only using d-pad as I feel like it gives me the most crisp of controls. It is really easy to miss a pogo on analog by hitting slightly left or right.

My Keyboard #

My daily driver keyboard is a custom built 40% monoblock keyboard I absolutely love using it, it perfectly plops down on a laptop when I am in laptop mode and really fits me quite well for my wrok as a software/infrastructure engineer.

WASD #

We’ve got to talk about pinky stagger

I can use wasd perfectly fine on it, I have a layer that has no holds on any keys so that they are all nice and crisp and tailored to gaming operations that would require a hold.

Now what I haven’t ran into before is that trying to game with wasd and use the right side is very uncomfortable with this steep of a pinky stagger. Generally with keyboard an mouse games I have the keyboard a little slanted and move my fingers to wasd just fine, but it just does not work well with both hands on the keyboard.

Enter asdf #

Today is day one, I’m not quite sure how long it will last, but I am giving asdf a try for arrow keys. This will work much more akin to a fight stick where each finger has a primary direction instead of using one finger for both up and down.

vim keys, but mirrored

I chose to mirror vim keys with down towards the middle.  I had it the other

way, but when I played, I kept pressing it the other way.

a - left
s - up
d - down
f - right

power keys

I wanted to put the most common keys on the strongest finger (feels like

left pinky breaks this mantra, but whatever).

j - attack
k - dash
l - focus/cast
h - quick cast
e - inventory
u - super dash
m - map
g - dream nail

This seems weird #

So Ya, I know it’s weird. I did some searching wasn’t able to find much other than this one reddit post talking about using asdf. oddly one person reccommended sdfg, this souds so much like vim, which makes a lot of sense, but brings back moving fingers off of home row position or using one finger for down and right, which aint gonna work.

First thoughts #

I’m about 20 minutes in and struggling on False Knight, I could be a bit more patient, but I’m trying to work on pogos on all the mobs on the way in.

Holding up or down #

The ability to just hold up or down as you run through the map with enemies coming from above or below feels superior, and its going to be nice, I really just got to put some time in to get use to the layout, maybe even make some changes.

I realize now that Hollow Knight rarely needs quick swiching between up and down and would probably be fine on a wasd layout if i were to be using a split keyboard or a bit less pinky stagger that would work out, but for now I am giving this a shot.

My Son’s experience #

So my son is playing along with me, new save as well. He went with wasd and mouse, while this sounds insane to me to use mouse for clicking and no movement the natural feel that it has, has him blazing through faster than he does on controller, doing pogos he’s never done before.

False Knight down #

The recording somehow stuck on the menu screen and did not record video, but I got this screenshot of the victory.

Vengeful Spirit #

Day 2 I managed to make it to the Ancestral Mound and get the Vengeful Spirit cast. Everything is starting to feel much better and more natural. Surprisingly my main issue is with up and down since they are used a bit less, left with my pinky has not been any issue.

hollow-knight-keeb-run-vengeful-spirit.mp4

Hornet Battle 1 #

I made it successfully through the first hornet battle I was able to snag this clip of a few nicely timed pogos. Its getting better, I am still really struggling between down srike and up strike.

hollow-knight-keeb-run-hornet-pogos.mp4

Mothwing Cloak #

I got so lucky with the finish of hornet, I thought she hit me while healing, kinda lost where we were tanked a hit and almost took one last hit again and beat her to the final punch.

hollow-knight-keeb-run-hornet-finish.mp4

Gruz Mother #

After completing gruz mother I went to grab my macropad to click the clip button when her babies came out, and it was at this moment my son told me I was done for, there was no recovering from this. I was already at 2 hearts, and a mistake left me with one. You can see me fumble for the up key in the clip as I get repositioned fully on back on the board.

hollow-knight-keeb-run-gruz-mother.mp4

Now we have Sly the merchant unlocked and can buy items from him.

City #

I made it to the city, but on my way, it looks like one of the smokey layers were getting put on top of the game instead of layer in behind. I’ve never seen this, so I really have no idea what it is. During the thorny area it was in and out and right as I entered the city it locked on top and did not leave.

Soul Master #

I made my way over to the soul master, dying several times along the way to a few Soul Twisters, its time to battle.

hollow-knight-keeb-run-soul-meeting-master.mp4

After beating his second room, (this clip makes him look way too easy as he wasn’t targeting me fore some reason at the end), I picked up desolate dive, which brings a new key combo to get familiar with down+cast.

hollow-knight-keeb-run-soul-master-finish.mp4

Moss Knight #

hollow-knight-keeb-moss-knight.mp4

Lumafly Lantern #

While I had a lot of geo from the Moss Knights I finished out getting 1800 geo to get the lumafly lantern from sly’s shop at dirtmouth.

hollow-knight-keeb-lumafly-lantern.mp4

Royal Waterway #

I decided to head back to the city of tears and into the royal waterway to fight the dung defender and collect Isma’s tear.

hollow-knight-keeb-royal-waterway-unlock.mp4

hollow-knight-keeb-royal-waterway-entering.mp4

hollow-knight-keeb-royal-waterway-bench.mp4

The Dung Defender battle, great lore with this guy, lots of bouncy movement, but overall not too hard of a boss. He is not very accurate with attacks, so you have time to just sit in the corners and heal.

hollow-knight-keeb-dung-defender.mp4

Once the Dung Defender was defeated, I continued on up to the Kings Station and unlocked it.

hollow-knight-keeb-kings-station.mp4

I could not remember where ismas tear was and I ended up all the way down in deep nest, the climb out is a bit of a challenge, here I am going right by the route you take with crystal dash to get isma’s tear.

climbing-out-of-deep-nest.mp4

Isma’s Tear #

I managed to find my way through the royal waterway and where you crystal dash over to isma’s tear. This battle took two attempts, because the first I had no health left and walked in with two masks.

hollow-knight-keeb-ismas-tear-battle.mp4

Now the tear coats our shell and allows us to swim through the acid, and we can get a lot more places, and some places are just easier to get without precision parkour over the acid.

hollow-knight-keeb-ismas-tear.mp4

Thorny Mask #

I wandered around the world a bit today and found a few small items, nothing of major concequence.

Challenging Mantis Lords #

It felt like time to challenge the Mantis Lords. For the reason to prove to myself that I am getting better at this layout.

I drew my nail and ready for the challenge.

hollow-knight-keeb-challenging-mantis-lords.mp4

First try I made it past the first one, and deep into the second one, I think If I would have remembered the healing window for them I would have had a shot at a first try on them.

hollow-knight-keeb-mantis-lords-1.mp4

After three tries I had it. Maybe its not apples to apples with my first ever run years ago on steam deck, but it took months. I would have about 20 minutes a day waiting for kids pickup at school and I would just keep grinding at them for what added up to be likely several hours.

hollow-knight-keeb-defeating-mantis-lords.mp4

After defeating them I’m let into the treasure room where I get a bench, Hallownest seal, a big loot box, and the mark of pride. This is actually one of my favorite charms as it gives you an extra 25% range to your nail attacks. This opens up the window for pogos and reach attacks without taking damage.

Markata list posts by year

2025-05-01T22:35:47Z

I was looking back at my analytics page today and wondered what were my posts about back at the beginning. My blog is managed by markata so I looked at a few ways you could pull those posts up. Turns out it’s pretty simple to do, use the markata map with a filter.

from markata import Markata

m.map('title, slug, date', filter='date.year==2016', sort='date')

Note

the filter is python eval that should evaluate to a boolean, all of the

attributes of the post are available to filter on.

Result #

[
    ('⭐ jupyterlab jupyterlab', 'jupyterlab-jupyterlab', datetime.date(2016, 12, 13)),
    ('⭐ nickhould tidy-data-python', 'nickhould-tidy-data-python', datetime.date(2016, 12, 9)),
    (
        '⭐ mikeckennedy write-pythonic-code-demos',
        'mikeckennedy-write-pythonic-code-demos',
        datetime.date(2016, 11, 22)
    ),
    (
        '⭐ mikeckennedy write-pythonic-code-for-better-data-science-webcast',
        'mikeckennedy-write-pythonic-code-for-better-data-science-webcast',
        datetime.date(2016, 11, 22)
    ),
    ('⭐ rajshah4 dlgroup', 'rajshah4-dlgroup', datetime.date(2016, 11, 18)),
    ('⭐ pandas-dev pandas', 'pandas-dev-pandas', datetime.date(2016, 10, 5))
]

You could use the list command as well right within your shell and the same map and filters work.

⬢ [devtainer-0.1.3] ❯ markata list --map title --filter='date.year==2016'
[22:35:06] 2088/2145 posts skipped                                                                       skip.py:36
           57/2145 posts not skipped                                                                     skip.py:37

⭐ pandas-dev pandas
⭐ rajshah4 dlgroup
⭐ mikeckennedy write-pythonic-code-for-better-data-science-webcast
⭐ mikeckennedy write-pythonic-code-demos
⭐ nickhould tidy-data-python
⭐ jupyterlab jupyterlab

You could also do it with jin right inside of a markdown post using the jinja_md plugin.

{% raw %}
{% for title, slug, date in markata.map('title, slug, date', filter='date.year==2016', sort='date') %}
* [{{title}}]({{slug}}) - {{date}}
{% endfor %}
{% endraw %}

Note

You do have to `jinja: true` in the frontmatter of the post.

Result #

{% for title, slug, date in markata.map(’title, slug, date’, filter=‘date.year==2016’, sort=‘date’) %}

{{title}} - {{date}} {% endfor %}

portal-platformer-devlog-1

2025-04-28T19:56:58Z

Here is the current state of my platformer yet to really be named, I want to make something in between hollow knight and portal.

Starting #

I made one once in make code arcace on a pybadge. It was quick and dirty, but fun to work on. It had the basic of blocks that I could move, blocks i could put a portal onto, and a goal for each level. Some levels you can just walk through and some levels required you to really think about where to place the portal.

History #

So this version of the game is a least 2 years in the making, I open it every few months give it a day or two and move on. Its mostly something that I work on with my son. He really likes to jump around on projects so its hard to make real progress on something, but we are hitting an age where he is able to come back to projects a little better.

All of this is built in python, and mostly before vibe coding was a thing, its mostly me trying to get out ideas as quick as my son is spitting out the the next idea.

Coyote #

It includes a few frames of coyote so it feels a bit more like most games.

!! Note If you are unfamiliar with the term coyote in platformers it allows you to jump for a few frames after falling off a platform, like wiley coyoyte in Luney Toons.

Wall slide/jump #

Wall slide and jump work, but so is wall climb as an unintended side effect. When you are touching a wall, your fall speed is halved.

Levels and loader #

There is a crude level loader that loads json levels with pydantic. No editor yet, just hand editing levels with json.

Checkpoints #

It makes checkpoints, when you die, you go back to your last checkpoint. Checkpoints can be invisible, and have a link that turns them into a door to another level.

66c5b984-5450-48ee-9978-00fec4815807.mp4

no art #

There is no art yet, just the skin of a platformer, levels, checkpoints, and coyote. No portals, but there is a pointer with a janky box that covers my lighting.

💭 True Non-Planar Slicing is Here - YouTube

2025-04-19T15:39:34Z

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.

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.

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.

Changing k8s Storage Class - Migration Job

2025-04-04T09:57:50Z

I’m setting up longhorn in my homelab, and I ran into an issue where I initially setup some pvcs under longhorn, and later realized that to get longhorn to snapshot and backup I needed to hand edit volumes after the fact or change storage class. I’m all in on gitops so option 1 was not an option. So changing storageclass it is.

Now the issue is that you CANNOT mutate storageclass on a provisioned pvc, it is an immutable attribute.

Migration Job #

This migration job will create a new pvc with the new storageclass and move the data from the old pvc to the new pvc.

Existing Pods

 This migration job will not work if you have a pod using the old pvc.  You

will need to shutdown the pod and delete it.

# old pvc with longhorn storageclass
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:

            echo "Starting migration..."
            cd /data
            cp -av source/. destination/
            echo "Migration complete!"
        volumeMounts:
        - name: source-vol

      volumes:

      - name: dest-vol
        persistentVolumeClaim:
          claimName: site-pvc-longhorn-backup

Apply the manifests and wait for the job to complete.

kubectl apply -f pvc-migration.yaml

Cleanup #

I had chatgpt create me a script to help me find what is using the pvc so that it can be deleted.

#!/bin/bash

NAMESPACE="waylonwalker-com"
PVC_NAME="site-pvc-longhorn-new"

echo "⏳ Checking if PVC exists..."
kubectl get pvc "$PVC_NAME" -n "$NAMESPACE" || {
  echo "✅ PVC already deleted."
  exit 0
}

echo "🔍 Describe PVC..."
kubectl describe pvc "$PVC_NAME" -n "$NAMESPACE"

echo -e "\n🔗 Checking if any pod is using this PVC..."
kubectl get pods -n "$NAMESPACE" -o json | jq -r \
  --arg PVC "$PVC_NAME" \
  '.items[] | select(.spec.volumes[].persistentVolumeClaim.claimName == $PVC) | .metadata.name'

echo -e "\n🧹 Checking finalizers..."
kubectl get pvc "$PVC_NAME" -n "$NAMESPACE" -o json | jq '.metadata.finalizers'

echo -e "\n🔎 Checking associated VolumeAttachment..."
PV_NAME=$(kubectl get pvc "$PVC_NAME" -n "$NAMESPACE" -o jsonpath='{.spec.volumeName}')
echo "🔗 PVC is bound to PV: $PV_NAME"

kubectl get volumeattachment -A -o json | jq \
  --arg PV "$PV_NAME" \
  '.items[] | select(.spec.source.persistentVolumeName == $PV) | {name: .metadata.name, node: .spec.nodeName, attached: .status.attached}'

Use pbpaste for clean shell history

2025-03-17T12:00:00Z

Using pbpaste for command substitution keeps sensitive or long URLs out of your shell history. Instead of typing git clone https://github.com/user/repo-with-long-name.git, copy the URL to clipboard and run git clone "$(pbpaste)". This prevents the URL from appearing in ~/.bash_history or ~/.zsh_history.

To get pbpaste working on both Xorg and Wayland, add this to your shell config:

if [[ $(command -v wl-copy) ]]; then
    alias pbcopy='wl-copy'
    pbpaste() { wl-paste; }
elif [[ $(command -v xclip) ]]; then
    alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard'
    pbpaste() { xclip -selection clipboard -o; }
fi

The function approach (instead of alias) enables command substitution, while the quotes around $(pbpaste) handle spaces and special characters safely.

Now you can use it.

git clone "$(pbpaste)"

More importantly secrets can stay out of your history.

export GITHUB_TOKEN="$(pbpaste)"
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="$(pbpaste)"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="$(pbpaste)"
export DATABASE_URL="$(pbpaste)"

Trailmakers Pioneers

2025-03-06T20:27:37Z

Trailmakers 2.0 Pioneers was released today as an update to trailmakers. It’s a brand new campaign mode that requires you to mine resources to get materials to craft your vehicles rather than salvage parts like you so in the Stranded Campaign. There also seems to be a more linear play through of the story with the frogitts, unlike stranded where it let you do anything completely open world, as long as you had the equipment to go there.

Four Frogitts #

Out of the gate Wyatt came in with four frogitts to rescue, I don’t know how he found them all, I’ve only been able to find the first one that the master gives you to bring home as a tutorial.

four-frogitts.mp4

First Boss #

After Wyatt left for bed I played a little more and beat the first of what felt like a boss level enemy, he had much different attacks. I did not think I would make it as I got hit hard from his first explosion attack before I realized what it did.

first-boss.mp4

Here is where he was on the map.

First Mega Drill #

So this first mega drill was a mistake we walked right into. Master Sapo says, “Hey go investigate the Drill, but be careful, you are not powerful enough for it.” Little did we know that getting too close will fully start the battle.

We came into this mega drill thinking we were prepared, but I was wrong. I equipped shotguns thinking it would be kinda like the last one, at the last second Master Sapo tells you that you need an EMP, which we got equiped. Once we got in we realized that getting close to anything is really hard and all the shotguns were useless, and to top it off all the Botnak attacks make it impossible to reconfigure.

I really think the devs should make a small free zone where you don’t get attacked where you respawn.

THPS 1 School Gaps

2025-03-01T10:39:28Z

On the road to Gap Master achievement I got all School Gaps in THPS1. This is a super fun level, I’ll have to admit that I had to look up at least a quarter of them, and could not find them myself, mostly due to the naming, all of the rail tricks were actually ledges and I was looking for big rails. None of the warehouse gaps were manuals so I had no idea that the downhill and accross the gym would be manual tricks.

This is one of the most memorable levels for me in THPS1 from when I had originally played it. Surprisingly there aren’t as many gaps in it as I thought there would be, there are definitely a lot that you can make up on your own.

Weblogging: Part 1

fix: Open Graph URL not matching canonical · WaylonWalker/waylonwalker.com@0fd994b

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 two.

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.

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.

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.

AI workloads on Talos Linux - Sidero Labs

Interesting thoughts here on blog post titles, do we need them? They are so ingrained into everything.

It makes me think about markata.dev. I don’t require you to add any meta data to your post, you don’t need a title at all, but you do have to name a markdown file, and this does end up being your title if you don’t set one.

Titles are a lot of pressure! I think there is a reason that the big text-based social networking sites (Mastodon, X, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, Bluesky, etc.) don’t have titles. Especially for short posts, the title just isn’t necessary. Just say the thing.

Interesting observation what rss readers do without one.

My own favorite[rss reader], Feedbin, shows the author of the post as the title if it’s missing. Eh, not great not horrible.

Hilariously he puts a title on the OG image for the post. I was interested in seeing what would happen in signal, it appears to be showing the author name as well.

Confirmed the page has no title

or does it?

It makes me wonder where Signal gets this title is it from the title block or the site_name meta data

Based on some of the people around me at the time I can only imagine how some people must feel like they got pushed into it without wanting it, and now are building something they don’t know anything about with no care about it or care to build any expertise.

Just sitting down and thinking about what the problem was and setting up a good test workflow. Yesterday I worked out testing nvim installs and I was immediately able to replicate the error over and over. Unlike before where it felt random, I now have a good problem statement that I can replicate.

clean install
start nvim
Lazy pops up
FLASHBANG!! Error that treesitter is not installed

What was confusing for so long was that treesitter was the first thing in lazy, and it appeared that lazy was running before the error.

The fix #

Once I really thought about not installed, it clicked. It must be the order of operations. I popped open my init.lua and there it was, lazy running after things that use treesitter. A little d+d+k+k+k+k+k+p and it was fixed. running just testnvim the next time there was no flashbang!

  local M = {}


  M.setup = require("waylonwalker.setup")
  M.settings = require("waylonwalker.settings")
+ M.lazy = require("waylonwalker.lazy")
  M.options = require("waylonwalker.options")
  M.globals = require("waylonwalker.globals")
  M.keymap = require("waylonwalker.keymap")
- M.lazy = require("waylonwalker.lazy")
  M.autocmds = require("waylonwalker.autocmds")
  M.util = require("waylonwalker.util")
  M.plugins = require("waylonwalker.plugins")
  M.snippets = require("waylonwalker.snippets")

testing nvim installs

2025-02-12T21:02:03Z

Testing fresh nvim installs can be a pain, and hard to di without borking your known good install. I’ve been using NVIM_APPNAME to run a test nvim in a sandbox that wont bork my main install. This usually runs for me in under a minute, can be down under 15s if I remove some of the TreeSitter installs at the end. This beats a full docker build of my full devtainer to test out nvim packaging woes.

rm ~/.cache/wwtest -rf
rm ~/.local/share/wwtest -rf
rm ~/.config/wwtest -rf
cp -r nvim/.config/nvim/ ~/.config/wwtest
NVIM_APPNAME=wwtest nvim --headless "+Lazy sync" +qa
NVIM_APPNAME=wwtest nvim --headless "+TSUpdateSync" "+sleep 5000m" +qa
NVIM_APPNAME=wwtest nvim --headless "+MasonUpdate" +qa
NVIM_APPNAME=wwtest nvim --headless "+TSInstallSync! c cpp go lua python rust tsx javascript typescript vimdoc vim bash yaml toml vue just" +qa
NVIM_APPNAME=wwtest nvim --headless "+MasonInstall lua-language-server rustywind ruff ruff-lsp html-lsp typescript-language-server beautysh fixjson isort markdownlint stylua yamlfmt python-lsp-server" +qa
NVIM_APPNAME=wwtest nvim

I’ve started to use this as a just recipe to run before deploying a new version of my dotfiles. So far its pairing nicely with nvim-manager

Setting up 4G Backup with Google Fi and Netgear LM1200

2025-02-12T13:23:35Z

I connected my home network to have 4G bakcup with Google Fi and Netgear LM1200. Goodle Fi offers free data-only sim cards that you can order from their service. It takes a couple of days, and a new sim arrives in the mail free of charge. It does pull data from your account, so if you are not on an unlimited plan be careful of how much you let go through the sim.

I’ve owned this for a few years now, but it’s been disconnected for a good six months or so. I’m not s[e what happened, but it stopped recognizing the old sim card. no need to point out the coffee stains at the end, its definitely not related

Follow the provided instuctions #

Activating the sim asked for a confirmation code shipped with the sim card, then brought me to this page.

Clicking Have a Different Device? brought up instructions to set up the APN in the LM1200.

Restart #

First thing for me was that the sim was not recognized, restarting the LM1200 did the trick to recognize it as a Google Fi sim, and I started setting up by adding the APN as instructed from Google.

Setup LM1200 #

Once restarted the LM1200 was recognize the sim right away and I was able to add the APN details.

Connected #

After Saving these I was immediately connected as a backup.

Testing Failover #

Backups do not exist without testing. I pulled the WAN cable from the LM1200 and after a few seconds it swapped over to the backup.

The dashboard shows fully connected, and it popped up that it sent an alert to my phone, but that did not work for me. I might hae something misconfigured.

I ran a speed test and got a pretty respectable 38 Mbit/s up and 12 Mbit/s down.

I reconnected the WAN cable and it went back to the primary, and it sat at orange for about 10 seconds before switching back to wired connection.

Fully back on wired.

Now its all back up and running giving me a super cheap 4G backup with pretty low effort. Hopefully its reliable, I’ve upgraded about everything else on my network since last running this, I think it will behave much better. I think some other issues were actually causing me to think I was not getting connection and this fully got pulled from the network to try to fix it.

Why not 5G? #

The devices are way more expensive and this gives me all I need for a backup.

This post is a big work in progress, expect it to keep getting better.

Initial Score #

404 Not Found, generate a page for each tag #

Title too long #

404 Not Found, comma separated tags #

Another hit on 404’s caused by tags, was tag parsing from thoughts into posts, this cause links to the full comma separated list of tags rather than one per tag.

You can see on the website the whole dang set of tags was being treated as a single tag.

Broken images #

I’m not fully sure what happened to all of these gifs in my old host and why they didn’t show up, but I moved them all and they are solid now.

I burned all of my January Credits #

So I had an issue with my self hosted shots not making them fast enough for ahrefs, and essentially ddosing myself on one of their runs. The long wait times for images burnt all of my credits.

Here was the next successful run with a HUGE improvement in overall score.

The trend for errors is looking quite good.

md files were Missing #

I had several links out to the raw source of some pages generally hosted at {slug}.md, but I had turned it off due to it causing builds to fail.

Taking another look at the error it was obvious what was going on, thoughts never had a file extension and Pathlib was throwing isADirecotryError because the path was already a directory for the index.html, adding a .md to the path for the thoughts plugin fixed it.

I made this fix in commit e0bbc on my site repo.

Broken links to tags #

I wrote a cli plugin to automatically generate feeds for my tags, but I have not ran it in awhile so I had a number of posts trying to link tags to feeds that did not exist. I fixed this in commit [5d2e22](https://github.com/WaylonWalker/waylonwalker.com/commit/5d2e227a03acb1104e4214507872c61ae2a47d64].

fix: Open Graph URL not matching canonical #

[[ thoughts-565 ]] fixes an error introduced while fixing og tags.

vim date

2025-02-12T12:51:00Z

When I want to put a date in a document like a blog post from vim I use !!date from insert mode. Note that entering !! from normal mode puts you in command mode with :.! filled out. This runs a shell command, i.e. date for this example.

It outputs the following

Fri Jan 31 08:46:11 PM CST 2025

You can also pass in a date such as tommorrow by pasdding in the -d date -d tomorrow.

It outputs the following

Sat Feb 1 08:53:20 PM CST 2025

codeium just taught me this one with autocomplete

:put =strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

This outputs the following

2025-01-31

What I like about the :put =strftime( method is that you can add a format, but that is a lot more for me to remember than !!date

A few weeks later #

I’m going through a bunch of blog posts and dont want my date formats to change to the Wed Feb format so I broke down and made these keybindings. I think I’m still going to be using .!date a lot, but these keybindings will be nice for editing blog post frontmatter.

set("n", "<leader>dd", "<cmd>put =strftime('%Y-%m-%d')<cr>", { noremap = true, silent = true })
set("n", "<leader>dt", "<cmd>put =strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')<cr>", { noremap = true, silent = true })

Just after the first night started I found my way back to the center of the map and made a stone campfire. I really like to use the stone campfires as they last forever, you just have to add wood. I was lucky enough to find stone by the Tall Bird to make this one on first day.

aptitude why

2025-02-11T13:55:04Z

Today I ran into an interesting question, why am I being asked to configure tzdata while installing npm. Turns out that the aptitude cli has a why command that very handily nails down why you have something installed on a debian based system.

Install aptitude #

apt install aptitude

Why tzdata #

Now we can query why we need tzdata and see the full chain with the root package being npm.

root@47685221fb82:/# aptitude why tzdata
i   npm        Depends  node-gyp
i A node-gyp   Depends  gyp (>= 0.1+20200513gitcaa6002)
i A gyp        Depends  python3:any
i A python3    Provides python3:any
i A python3    Depends  python3.12 (>= 3.12.3-0~)
i A python3.12 Depends  tzdata

configure timezone

2025-02-10T13:35:24Z

Today I ran into this interactive prompt on ubuntu while installing node and npm, and I do not want to manually configure this interactively every time I run an install, moreso in docker I do not have the interactive terminal to do so.

Configuring tzdata
------------------

Please select the geographic area in which you live. Subsequent configuration questions will narrow this down by presenting a list of cities, representing the time zones in which they are located.

  1. Africa  2. America  3. Antarctica  4. Arctic  5. Asia  6. Atlantic  7. Australia  8. Europe  9. Indian  10. Pacific  11. Etc  12. Legacy
Geographic area:

Why tzdata #

Checking aptitude why tzdata it shows that the chain goes back through npm.

root@47685221fb82:/# aptitude why tzdata
i   npm        Depends  node-gyp
i A node-gyp   Depends  gyp (>= 0.1+20200513gitcaa6002)
i A gyp        Depends  python3:any
i A python3    Provides python3:any
i A python3    Depends  python3.12 (>= 3.12.3-0~)
i A python3.12 Depends  tzdata

The solution, configure tzdata #

export TZ="America/Chicago"
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
apt update
apt install tzdata -y
ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TZ /etc/localtime
dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive tzdata

DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

This is required, because apt installing tzdata will trigger the

interactive prompt. You will manually configure it in the next two steps.

I always select the character Woodie. He comes with an axe called Lucy she has some dark humor (but not too dark), I like her. She also does not wear out so you always have a weapon and way to chop wood with you.
