fix: Open Graph URL not matching canonical · WaylonWalker/waylonwalker.com@0fd994b Latest version of waylonwalker.com - dev.waylonwalker.com - fix: Open Graph URL not matching canonical · WaylonWalker/waylonwalker.com@0fd994b GitHub · github.com [1] In fixing a bunch of meta tags, I introduced Open Graph URL not matching canonical on every page by having trailing / on canonical and not on the og:url. [2] This commit will fix the error.

After that embarrasing death I made my way over to a touchstone I found and Woodie is back from the dead, but without his beloved Lucy, to get her we will need to go
Cotton Coder The one where I launch a new blog dbushell.com · dbushell.com [1] I like Davids idea for cotton coder here, reminds me a lot of Thoughts [2], which turns out to be mroe commonly called a linkblog. I can relate to David heavily on gathering too many side projects and soem collecting more digital dust than you would really like them to. I use thoughts for quick publishing, very similar to David’s notes [3]. I have tags and titles, but the titles are a reflection of the post I’m taking a note on. They are short and sweet, I put just enough thought into them without overthinking them. They live as a separate server hosted website, but the data gets pulled into my blog at build time, so they end up in the same place eventually.

GitHub - valkey-io/valkey: A flexible distributed key-value database that is optimized for caching and other realtime workloads. A flexible distributed key-value database that is optimized for caching and other realtime workloads. - valkey-io/valkey GitHub · github.com [1] valkey appears to be the largest open source fork of redis that was forked just before their transition to the new source available licenses. One notable thing missing from the readme is how to run with docker, which I saw in the valkey-py docs. docker run -p 6379:6379 -it valkey/valkey:latest You can install the python library with python -m venv .venv . ./.venv/bin/activate pip install "valkey[libvalkey]" References: [1]: https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey

I’m really excited about valkey [1], an amazing project by valkey-io [2]. It’s worth exploring! A flexible distributed key-value datastore that is optimized for caching and other realtime workloads. References: [1]: https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey [2]: https://github.com/valkey-io
valkey Python client for Valkey forked from redis-py PyPI · pypi.org [1] python bindings for valkey, forked from redis. one notable difference I see from redis is that you can install with libvalkey to autmatically get faster parsing support. For faster performance, install valkey with libvalkey support, this provides a compiled response parser, and for most cases requires zero code changes. By default, if libvalkey >= 2.3.2 is available, valkey-py will attempt to use it for response parsing. pip install "valkey[libvalkey]" References: [1]: https://pypi.org/project/valkey/
To kick off the second session, I noticed that when you have a torch you can light your cooking pot, what I did not realize was that this burns your cooking pot to smitherines. Nothing left but a frame of ** ashes.
Fragmentions - linking to any text kevinmarks.com [1] I can’t believe I’ve never see this Tim Berners-Lee quote, but I can’t unsee it and will be required to reference it from now on. eventually every URL ends up as a porn site I had a friend let his blog domain expire, within a short period it was scooped up and was hosting porn. I don’t know why, but my best guess is that they were holding it ransom with the most embarrassing content to have your personal site replaced with.

hype cp | Hypermedia Copy & Paste hypecp.com [1] This is a super cool reference for htmx [2] snippets. I really like how he has a couple of errors on the page as examples with examples that fix these common errors. References: [1]: https://hypecp.com/ [2]: /htmx/
As I was gathering resources with Lucy, minding my own business ** I got hit with an attack from a Clockwork Bishop, man these things hit hard and have really good aim. I took three hits before getting away, leaving me with very low heath at the end of this play session.

fragmention

This post is still WIP. ….. https://indieweb.org/fragmention##Challenges I’ve been digging through David Bushell’s blog over the past day, he has some really good ideas about blogging and webdev. One really interesting post I came accross is url-fragment-text-directives [1]. I’ve long had id’s linked on my headings, though sometimes broken, or now showing the link, I’ve done my best to include them. Fragmentions extend this to allow any text to be linkable like this. fragmentioner ui: https://github.com/kartikprabhu/fragmentioner/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file fragmentioner js: https://github.com/chapmanu/fragmentions Examples # [2] https://resilientwebdesign.com/#This%20is%20a%20web%20book References: [1]: https://dbushell.com/2024/12/05/url-fragment-text-directives/ [2]: #examples

I’m building in a [[ fragmentions ]] implementation into my blog, I wanted to add some text before the fragment to indidate that it was the highlighted fragment that someone may have intended to share with you.

To get a newline in a :before I need to use \A and white-space: pre-line.

body :target::before,
body [fragmention]::before {
    content: "Highlighted Fragment:\A";
    white-space: pre-line;
    @apply font-bold text-yellow-600;
}

Here is what it looks like on my not yet live implementation of fragmentions.

I’m going to leave the title off this post and see what happens. Titles are a lot of pressure! I think there is a reason that the big text-based social networking sites (Mastodon, X, Facebook… Chris Coyier · chriscoyier.net [1] Interesting thoughts here on blog post titles, do we need them? They are so ingrained into everything. It makes me think about markata.dev. I don’t require you to add any meta data to your post, you don’t need a title at all, but you do have to name a markdown file, and this does end up being your title if you don’t set one. Titles are a lot of pressure! I think there is a reason that the big text-based social networking sites (Mastodon, X, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, Bluesky, etc.) don’t have titles. Especially for short posts, the title just isn’t necessary. Just say the thing. Interesting observation what rss readers do without one. My own favorite[rss reader], Feedbin, shows the author of the post as the title if it’s missing. Eh, not great not horrible. Hilariously he puts a title on the OG [2] image for the post. I was interested in seeing what would happen in signal, it appears to be showing the author name as well. [3] Confirmed the pag...
AI workloads on Talos Linux Companies are exploring how to run GPU accelerated workloads on Kubernetes. Sidero Labs · siderolabs.com [1] cool article for setting up talos linux with an nvidia gpu. What a wild world it we are living in where these devices that started out being only for hardcore gamers are becoming commonplace in servers and slowly entering the homelab [2] space.

- Damn prime makes an interesting point near then end of this video. He’s seen a bunch of people able to just throw down charts and shit at their company and end up being “the coding guy” cause they proompted something once. In a way I can relate, I got into software in a similar way, but at a time that it took a lot more hard work, understanding , and copy past from the right stack overflow. Based on some of the people around me at the time I can only imagine how some people must feel like they got pushed into it without wanting it, and now are building something they don’t know anything about with no care about it or care to build any expertise. Is the future proompted charts from enterprise chatgpt or do we only continue growing more need for software from here.
