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.

Update on the lab setup and what Iāve been working on recently.
Cloudy with a Chance of Tech Ā· blog.thomaswimprine.com [1]
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 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.

awrit is a full graphical browser that runs inside of kitty. Iāve moved on some of my machines away from kitty as the maintainer has seemed so hostile and there are other great therminals out there, but Iām going to give this a go.

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 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.

I tried throwing everything at this template to make it work. I tried a bunch

on my develop branch.

pypi yanks suck, they are rare, this one got me today as it was a pinned dependency in my dependency chain.

Iām not sure if there was another way around it as pypi releases are immutable, so you cannot fix

Wyatt built out this full world to start making a film series about FROGS. The entire set it built on a flat world, but yet feels so immersive.

Visualizing My Blogās Internal Links
Writing about the big beautiful mess that is making things for the world wide web.

I like Jimās visualizations on his site, reminds me a lot of obsidian. Iāve tried to do the same on my analytics [2] page in the past, but it didnāt come out right. Iām going to have to give this another go.

Your Framework is Showing
The one where Iāve had enough of the same Next.js error
dbushell.com Ā· dbushell.com [1]
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 Iāve seen.
Iām 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 donāt have the use case for highly interactive apps. Libraries like htmx [2] or plain ol js gets the job done on the majority of sites and everything I tend to work on.

Iām totally with Prime here, there is something about the read only, mouse clicking part of my brain that causes me to be more critical of the code at a different level. It doesnāt hit the part of my brain thinking about the edit or how to do the edit, it hits a part thats thinking about how I will have to deal with the code moving forward.

Next.js 15.1+ is unusable outside of Vercel
TBD
Omar Abid - Personal Blog Ā· omarabid.com [1]
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 youāre 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.

Iāve been using gitingest [1] web ui [[ thoughts-516 ]]
for quite awhile to serialize git [2] 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 # [3]
Their instructions tell you to curl to bash.
curl -fsSL https://bodo.run/yek.sh | bash
I donāt like curl to bash from random sites, so I have my own self hosted [4]
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 # [5]
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 didnāt even believe that it worked
properly.
more options # [6]
As with most clis, you can run yek --help to see the options available.
yek --help
