Cheese Cap On A Macropad
A cheese keycap placed in the middle of a macropad, currounded by black/purple caps in a blue case.
- Epic that this Joslin came back 7 years later to complete this. I thought el Toro was dead, aparantly not. Dude got robbed by a broke ass truck, this must have been eating his soul for the last 7 years. Note This post is a thought [1].

Big W: A Family Tradition A quick look into where we came from and what inspires us to do what it takes to build a solid reputation. Big W Engineering Solutions Ā· bigwengineering.com [1] 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. Note This post is a thought [2].

zmk two hand hold down

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 # [1] 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. Here are some example layouts from keymap-editor [2] [3] 40% layout - similar to corne [4] Here it is on my Son’s 3x5 macropad [5] Here it is on my 3x...

Why Make a Website in 2025

Inspired by Jim [1] and Dave [2] It’s Fun # [3] 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 [4] 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 # [5] 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 [6] based on these posts that I find inter...
External Link X (formerly Twitter) Ā· x.com [1] I’ve never tried generated columns, but it is something that I’m interested in. It is nice to have things computed and in the database if you ever need to query on them. My brain is now churning with possibilities and quesions, does this work with Alembic? How does this compare to views? [2] Note This post is a thought [3].

I needed to display some hover text in a web app that I am using tailwind and jinja on. It has no js, and no build other than the tailwind. I want this to remain simple. Turns out that you can use a span with a title attribute to get hover text in HTML [1]. <p> I needed to display some hover text in a web app that I am using tailwind and jinja on.

- 3d-printing is so freaking cool. I love the idea that someone could get a hyperspecific tool to their needs for super cheap. Whether it works permanently or to try out one that you want to spend thousands of dollars on to have well done from some high end materials this is a great application.

A New Chapter In a recent turn of events, I find myself at a bit of a crossroads with an exciting new job on the horizon! In this post, I introduce myself and discuss my vision for the new blog. Jesse Leite Ā· jesseleite.com [1] Sub to this man. I met Jesse long ago as we both spoke at the same remote vim conf. He is into vim, weird keyboards, and medroid what more could you ask for. Now react and exlixer. I only know https://statamic.com/ through Jesse, they have the sickest branding ever.

"Pacman is currently in use, please wait." / Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues / Arch Linux Forums bbs.archlinux.org [1] I ran into this issue today, never have I ever before though. Omarchy looking a bit sus on me. This was even after a fresh boot, no pacman process running. just realized I forgot to check yay which it has installed for me. I had to force it in. sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck Note This post is a thought [2].

Today I learned how to use tar over ssh to save hours in file transfers. I keep all of my projects in ~/git [1] (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. ssh [email protected] 'tar -C /tank/git -cpf - .' \ | tar -C "$HOME/git" -xpf - References: [1]: /glossary/git/
