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 Ā· daniel.feldroy.com [1]
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 Iām 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.

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

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 [1]
Rcap of how !! works # [2]
!! 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 # [3]
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 # [5]
fc shows up in shell history, but !! does not, !! gets replaced by the
command that it becomes.

yaya yaya, I know you can also up-arrow c-e, but what fun is that, itās barely a

DT says it so well in this video, Iāve 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 donāt like it you are probably not the target audience.
If Ubuntu is too bloated, donāt 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 ādebloatā 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.

Always enjoy a good read through someone elses setup.

I love seeing the refurb ātiny desktopsā getting a second useful life in a homelab [2] 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.

Iām digging these web2appās from DHHās 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 itās 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.

Smooth clipboard settings for tmux is critical for my workflow. Iām often
grabbing snippets of terminal output to paste into team chats, blog posts, or
llm prompts. Admittedly, Iām often doing this with the mouse, unless itās
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 [1].">paru.
paru -S wl-clipboard
Next add this to your tmux config. Iāve 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
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.

So you are taking your first few baby steps away from that Logitech MX Master

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.

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 # [1]
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 # [2]
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 ...

perfect
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 itās 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 Iāve got.
