Knife Sharpener Small Upgrade

I’ve used this knife sharpener that I printed for a few years now. I thought that it was based on the Russian designed TSPROF, but in looking through the history it looks very similar to the USA Edge Pro Inc Apex designs that goes back to the 1990’s. The angle isn’t quite holding like it used to. I’ve got a lot of ideas for my own model, but for now I’m going to print some spacers to help get repeatable angles.

Learn to use email with git! git-send-email.io [1] This site gives us a glimpse into the development workflow using git [2] over email, without remote centralized servers. I found it interesting how patches can be sent with an optional cover letter nearly like a pr would be made. References: [1]: https://git-send-email.io/ [2]: /glossary/git/

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.

Repository Mirrors | Forgejo – Beyond coding. We forge. forgejo.org [1] Forgejo supports repository mirrors, I think this is how I am going to handle migrating all of my github repos into forgejo. over time I’ll probably go through and delete a bunch of unnecessary one from github, ones that might have a user or two I might keep on github. I have such small scale projects with almost no users I am not sure that It really matters for me or not. References: [1]: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/repo-mirror/
Vertical combos are dumb, this makes way more sense. · WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block@48c30d2 Contribute to WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub · github.com [1] 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. References: [1]: https://github.com/WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block/commit/48c30d2ee4efcdd08266093b5ce79bba5730e6f0

- I’m playing through peak right now with Wyatt and it is a great game, a small wholesome indiegame that is legit hard, but fun with the simplest concept. 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 PEAK - 2025-08-27 8-49-54 PM.mp4 [1] a short clip of me playing with wyatt, I did not have anything great to add, but this is just a random clip Ripped off # [2] It was insta-ripped off by roblox with microtransactions pay to win garbage. It looks one for one the same damn models and interface, they spared nothing at making it look exactly like the original. They let you buy a golden apple assuming it gives you crazy stamina to climb with ease, and it costs goddam robux. As Big A says here theres nothing they can really do, the roblox platform just lets this happen, and if they didn’t they would loose huge revenue because this is so prevelant....

Eric (@[email protected]) This was pushed out with a rushed security review, a coerced and unwilling engineering team, and in full opposition to our supposed company values.

- This man feels sad, he never had a chance to bloom. He was stuck behind the drudgery of jira tickets. This is what the consultant driven agile has got us. 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.
Reflection - AI Work and ADHD | Nic Payne Reflection It's time to be more devoted to my work... AI has been a cool technology to watch and experience but one thing I'm allowing it to do to me pype.dev [1] Crazy that we wrote such similar posts on the same day independantly, I just wrote I'm Out On Agents [2] sitting offline in a doctor office. The two pull out’s are very good, “AI is not magic, it’s a headache”. By definition AI is magic to the vast majority of people, but funny how true this is. “When I finish tasks, I’m not fulfilled… if anything I’m relieved.” I just wrote something very similar, maybe this feeling can be used for guidance to when to use AI. When you complete this task will you feel relieved its over? Is it a chore? or creative work you want to accomplish.

I'm Out On Agents

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 # [1] 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 wa...
