[1] Prime mentioned on stream that Whites were his favorite switch. I tend to like lighter switches and want to give it a try. I really like my Durock lupine’s at 55g, the box whites are 45g, that feels like it would take quite a bit more control, floating over the keys. Note This post is a thought [2].

markdown split panel

Today I was playing with markdown split panels. I want to be able to compare and constrast occasionually, today the inspiration hit to do this using admonitions. [1] Mobile Users šŸ”„ You will need to rotate your device to see the side by side feature. The Markdown # [2] This is what I am going for, one admonition that is easy to remember, that nests inside of itself , and I can put as much markdown on the inside that I want. !!! vsplit I Have two opinions !!! vsplit Left Opinion supporting arguments * lorem ipsum * ipsum dolor - [x] lorem ipsum - [ ] ipsum dolor !!! vsplit Right Opinion supporting arguments * lorem ipsum * ipsum dolor - [ ] lorem ipsum - [x] ipsum dolor Here is the result of that markdown. I Have two opinions Left Opinion supporting arguments - lorem ipsum - ipsum dolor - lorem ipsum - ipsum dolor Right Opinion supporting arguments - lorem ipsum - ipsum dolor - lorem ipsum - ipsum dolor Vsplit Hello World Here is a hello worl...

Make MinIO Access Key

Today in my homelab [1] I wanted to setup a new service that needed a MinIO access key. So I created a new user and a new access key with the MinIO CLI rather than poking through the ui like I have before. [2] Global Level vs User Level # [3] The MinIO CLI has two levels of access, global and user level. Most of the commands in this post will have several ways to do similar tasks that would potentially work. We are going to prefer to use the user level commands for more control. For some commands such as listing Keys it is handy to use the global level. The Policy # [4] First we are going to make a new policy file named mypages_rw_policy.json. { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Action": [ "s3:GetBucketLocation", "s3:ListBucket" ], "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::mybucket" ] }, { "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:PutObject", "s3:DeleteObject", "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts", "s3:AbortMultipartUpload" ], "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": [...

I like fcsonline’s [1] project tmux-thumbs [2]. A lightning fast version of tmux-fingers written in Rust, copy/pasting tmux like vimium/vimperator References: [1]: https://github.com/fcsonline [2]: https://github.com/fcsonline/tmux-thumbs
I’ve been back to putting some images on my blog lately and thinking about making them a bit thinner through the use of aspect ratio for simplicity. I’m leaning pretty heavy on tailwindcss these days due to some weird quirks of markdown-it-attrs I cannot have slashes in classes from markdown so I made a .cinematic class to achieve this. .cinematic { @apply aspect-[2.39/1]; } Example [1] References: [1]: https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/50cfa8dc-9d46-4f02-877b-688fa5510a83.png
An Aspect Ratio Guide for Every Filmmaker How can the aspect ratio of your film or TV show contribute to your story? No Film School Ā· nofilmschool.com [1] A good reference of common screen ratios. I just realized that 16:9 is also 1.78:1. I’ve been putting some images on my blog again, and thinking about using some 2.39:1 ratio on them. Note This post is a thought [2].

- There is a glimmer of hope out there that normal people can scrap together enough gpu to really run the latest models themselves. The ui really appears to be having huge leaps forward such that doing things like rag is no longer such a research project that it was just a few years ago. So excited to see Prime go through this homelab [1] exercise. Note This post is a thought [2].

Attrs does not like ā€˜/’ characters in its classes, so to use some tailwind classes with custom values we must make new classes in our tailwind input css. .cinematic { @apply aspect-[2.39/1]; } Given the following markdown with attrs added to the image and to the paragraph block. ![screenshot-2025-01-31T14-50-00-094Z.png](https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/50cfa8dc-9d46-4f02-877b-688fa5510a83.png){.aspect-[2.39/1]} ![screenshot-2025-01-31T14-50-00-094Z.png](https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/50cfa8dc-9d46-4f02-877b-688fa5510a83.png){.cinematic} {.cinematic} ![screenshot-2025-01-31T14-50-00-094Z.png](https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/50cfa8dc-9d46-4f02-877b-688fa5510a83.png) We get the following output with only the middle one working correctly. [1]{.aspect-[2.39/1]} [1] [1] Note The inline version of `.cinematic` works, but `.aspect-[2.39/1]` does not, it turns into text after the image. The block version with the class before the image applies to the paragraph, not the image. References: [1]: https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/50cfa8dc-9d46-4f02-877b-688fa5510a83.png
- Oh, this kills me to hear it. RSS is the OG [1] way to subscribe and share content out to others. It gives you control of what you subscribe to and reminds you when new content lands on your favorite sites. It is a huge component of web 1.0 and I feel is the most decentralized social media can ever hope to be. Note This post is a thought [2].

markata 0.8.0

I realize that I never did a post on markata 0.8.0, so here it is. 0.8.0 was released on Jan 2, 2024, just over a year ago at this point. This was the release that we got pydantic support, and multi feeds. [1] Pydantic Support Was kinda big # [2] Markata is leaning on pydanttic for configuration and Post models. These models are filled with validators such that you can give it an empty markdown post and it will figure out some pretty sane default values for the frontmatter. From there you can progressivly enhance your post with more information like title, date, tags, slug, description. validators are awesome!! for instance I don’t set the description on many of my posts by hand, I let the auto_description grab the first bit of text from the post most of the time. Multi Feeds # [3] Markata==0.8.1 brought multiple feeds into the mix, and started to take place of rss and sitemap. Feeds are a list of posts that are configured with a slug, filter, sort, reverse, description, and ...

Behold, the Steam Brick A modder has transformed the Steam Deck in a screen-less, controller-less Steam Brick. Rock Paper Shotgun Ā· rockpapershotgun.com [1] I fully believe in our right to repair, ewaste reduction, and bringing a second life to still good hardware that is not up for it’s originally intended purpose. This is a sick console like experience you can strap to the back of a tv, throw in your back to take on a trip, or leave stuffed in your vehicle to game in the backseat. Sucks that it cant do 4k, but I’ve used mine on large screens, and it does quite well for a lot of games, maybe not AAA, but the cartoony multplayer games I play with my kids do quite well.

- Damn these deepseek memes go hard. Wild to see openai get played by their own game. It’s crazy that the normie news that I have seen on deepseek shows that the Chinese made what the Americans did at a fraction of the price, without taking notice that they are building on the shoulders of openai.

markata search

A side effect of Markata DidYouMean [1] is that we are able to implement some rudimentary search based on slug, title, tags, and description. [2] I made a video of the early work on using this side effect to search for content on markata.dev. Replay markata-search-1.mp4 [3] This was first implemented to solve 404 pages giving users a way to try to find the page that they tried to access. But it turned out to be a decent way to search through the docs.

- šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘ This one is really good. I’m right there with him on most of this. I am very hesitant on subscription models, and all the ai tools feel like they are getting ready to be the next round of death by a thousand cuts, this time with pretty limited free tier and relatively high prices to run. I’m sure we will see companies get taken by huge bills soon by building off of someone else’s service. On the flip side I’m definitely the guy that gets in a rut of just copy paste to the ai, wait for codeium to to inject. I feel like I have issues of momentum more than anything. When I’m on one side or the other I tend to stick it out for too long, but less so on going without because that llm drug is calling you when you hit a hard problem. I’m excited to see him build out a homelab [1] for llm stuff that he mentioned at the top. I’m interested, but probably not building one out for myself until we start to see some cheaper maybe used hardware to do it. Note This post is a thought [2].
