This looks like great prototyping tool for k8s. I too often ask ai to get me going with the things I need. Iāve 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
Today I woke up to finding out that cloudflare hade a widespread outage. My Reader [1] 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.
Iām 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 9ās and reliability of big cloud that we just arenāt getting.
Thereās a huge push to go back to self hosting, racking and stacking. I think this is great. I love it. Iām a big proponent for ownership and self hosting. Itās 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.
Thereās 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 ...

Prime points out that the agentic is prompt injected itselfš. Rather than making a better os experience itās assuming you are stupid and need everything done for you. But what I donāt 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 itās 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 canāt even see it. Do that, not this help me click bs.

Absolutely banger of a video, what a wild idea to send gippity a bit off course and just see how far off the rails it will go. Dude did a banger of an edit on it. Iāll admit that I listened to the whole thing, but did not watch much, saving here as I might go back when I have time to really watch it. It was really weird how easy it was for chat to say something that could be true, but nearly no chance of it actually happening over and over and just keep it going down this dark spiral of conspiracies. It was ready to electrocute him and separate him from anyone who had a chance of being a non believer. At any moment was ready to say that those closest to him might be his problem. gipity is not your friend, or your therapist.

Today I learned how to use AliasChoices with pydantic settings to setup common
aliases for the same field. Iām 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 pathlib import Path
from pydantic import Field
from pydantic import AliasChoices
from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings

validation_alias=AliasChoices(

different with its anisotropic strength and hollow sections being nearly
weightless when compared to traditional manufacturing methods. Its so fun to
be able to do it for almost no cost right in my home office.

Mcat Anything
Iāve long looked for a way to cat anything in the terminal. Iām 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, Iām 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.

Missing Thoughts
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 oneās small corner
of the internet where they share their thoughts.

Absolutely love this selfhosted arc of pewdiepie that is going on right now. Itās crazy to witness now fast he is picking up linux / self hosting, and sounds like soon will be programming. In this one he built a $20k AI beast that crushes gippity with power, speed, proximity, and security. 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 wifeās 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.

I greatly appreciated the wide variety of experienced maintainers of large oss projects. From webdev to desktop application. The most common sentiment here was donāt 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 donāt 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.

Itās so easy to forget low level tech sometimes. Things that are dead simple and just work without a hitch. git is one of those rock solid things thats very easy to remember all that it does, this is a classic use case.
This just works

git clone ssh://username@server/path/to/repo
In order to recieve you must update the remote to allow recieve.
git config receive.denyCurrentBranch updateInstead
Now you can pull update push.

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/isnāt. 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. Iāve 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 doesnāt solve the problem of inconsistent power because it still cant go through clouds!

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.

Atuin desktop sounds dope AF, tried to install it off the AUR [1] and it was broken for me. Seems early and the dev team is all in on mac. They have an official .deb and .rpm. Iāll 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.

Somehow a bed smells suspiciously like a cash grab for a subscription because its cloud connected. And yet for some reason it takes 16GeeeBeeās per month. I donāt own one of these, and I donāt want to. I donāt want a subscription for everything, I want my shit to just work.
