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 Note This post is a thought [3].

- Love this dudes casual dry humor style, not afraid to poke fun at things with his dry ass satire. that being said, fc is new and as a long time fan of up arrow and !! I will be using this often.

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 [4] Shell History # [5] fc shows up in shell history, but !! does not, !! gets replaced by the command that it becomes. Up Arrow # [6] yaya yaya, I know you can also up-arrow c-e, but what fun is that, it’s barely a flex. fc just looks big brained and like you really know what you are doing.

I’ve been a long user of pygments, it’s been the thing that injects <spans> with funny little class names like sc and si into the code blocks of my website. I’ve even gone as far as implementing a plugin for md-it [1], but I had no idea how to re-style it. I long ago got a theme that looked good enough from somewhere and just used it, maybe I pulled something from their docs site and forgot. Today I learned you can list all the themes easily from the library itself, and render out new css. from pygments.styles import get_all_styles list(get_all_styles()) # [ # 'abap', # 'algol_nu', # 'algol', # 'arduino', # 'autumn', # 'borland', # 'bw', # 'colorful', # 'default', # 'dracula', # 'emacs', # 'friendly_grayscale', # 'friendly', # 'fruity', # 'github-dark', # 'gruvbox-dark', # 'gruvbox-light', # 'igor', # 'inkpot', # 'lightbulb', # 'lilypond', # 'lovelace', # 'manni', # 'material', # 'monokai', # 'murphy', # 'native', # 'nord-darker', # 'nord', # 'one-dark', # 'paraiso-dark', # 'paraiso-light', # 'pastie', # 'perldoc', # 'rainbow_dash', # 'rrt', # 'sas', # 'solarized-dark', # 'solarized-light', # 'staroffice', # 'stata-dark', # 'stata-light', # 'stata', # 'tango', # 'trac', # 'vim'...

- DT says it so well in this video, I’ve 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 don’t like it you are probably not the target audience. If Ubuntu is too bloated, don’t 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 “debloat” 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.

Lab Update Update on the lab setup and what I’ve been working on recently. Cloudy with a Chance of Tech · 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 “tiny desktops” 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. Note This post is a thought [3].

uv cache prune If you're running low on disk space and are a uv user, don't forget about uv cache prune: uv cache prune removes all unused cache entries. For example, the cache … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net [1] Good point to check on your uv cache if you are running low on disk space.

[1] I’m digging these web2app’s from DHH’s 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 it’s 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.
