AI workloads on Talos Linux
Companies are exploring how to run GPU accelerated workloads on Kubernetes.

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.

On first install of my dotfiles I’m presenting with this flashbang of an error
filling the screen with red background. Its kinda hard to read, I’m not deep
into lua and reading their tracebacks. It pops up in this pager that if I
scroll too far it quits and the error is gone before I know what it is or how
it got there.

For the longest time it just felt like it randomly showed up without much warning.

Testing fresh nvim installs can be a pain, and hard to di without borking your
known good install. I’ve been using NVIM_APPNAME to run a test nvim in a
sandbox that wont bork my main install. This usually runs for me in under a
minute, can be down under 15s if I remove some of the TreeSitter installs at
the end. This beats a full docker build of my full devtainer to test out nvim
packaging woes.
rm ~/.cache/wwtest -rf
rm ~/.local/share/wwtest -rf
rm ~/.config/wwtest -rf

I’ve started to use this as a just recipe to run before deploying a new
version of my dotfiles. So far its pairing nicely with nvim-manager
Setting up 4G Backup with Google Fi and Netgear LM1200
I connected my home network to have 4G bakcup with Google Fi and Netgear
LM1200. Goodle Fi offers free data-only sim cards that you can order from
their service. It takes a couple of days, and a new sim arrives in the mail
free of charge. It does pull data from your account, so if you are not on an
unlimited plan be careful of how much you let go through the sim.
I’ve owned this for a few years now, but it’s been disconnected for a good six
months or so. I’m not s[e what happened, but it stopped recognizing the old
sim card. no need to point out the coffee stains at the end, its
definitely not related
Follow the provided instuctions # [1]
Activating the sim asked for a confirmation code shipped with the sim card,
then brought me to this page.

Clicking Have a Different Device? brought up instructions to set up the APN in the LM1200.

First thing for me was that the sim was not recognized, restarting the LM1200
did the trick to recognize it as a Google F...

This post is a big work in progress, expect it to keep getting better.
Initial Score # [1]
[2]
404 Not Found, generate a page for each tag # [3]
[4]
Title too long # [5]
[6]
404 Not Found, comma separated tags # [7]
Another hit on 404’s caused by tags, was tag parsing from thoughts into posts,
this cause links to the full comma separated list of tags rather than one per
tag.
[8]
You can see on the website the whole dang set of tags was being treated as a single tag.

Broken images # [10]
I’m not fully sure what happened to all of these gifs in my old host and why
they didn’t show up, but I moved them all and they are solid now.

I burned all of my January Credits # [12]
So I had an issue with my self hosted [13] shots not making them fast enough for
ahrefs, and essentially ddosing myself on one of their runs. The long wait
times for images burnt all of my credits.
Here was the next successful run with a HUGE improvement in overall score.

When I want to put a date in a document like a blog post from vim I use !!date
from insert mode. Note that entering !! from normal mode puts you in command
mode with :.! filled out. This runs a shell command, i.e. date for this
example.
It outputs the following
Fri Jan 31 08:46:11 PM CST 2025
You can also pass in a date such as tommorrow by pasdding in the -d date -d tomorrow.
It outputs the following
Sat Feb 1 08:53:20 PM CST 2025
codeium just taught me this one with autocomplete
:put =strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
This outputs the following
2025-01-31
What I like about the :put =strftime( method is that you can add a format,
but that is a lot more for me to remember than !!date
A few weeks later #
I’m going through a bunch of blog posts and dont want my date formats to change
to the Wed Feb format so I broke down and made these keybindings. I think I’m
still going to be using .!date a lot, but these keybindings will be nice for
editing blog post frontmatter.
set("n", "<leader>dd", "<cmd>put =strftime('%Y-%m-%d')<cr>", { noremap = true, silent = true })
set("n", "<leader>dt", "<cmd>put =strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')<cr>", { noremap = true, silent = true })
dd 2025-02-12 dt 2025-02-12 12:53:47 - :.!date Wed Feb 12 12:53:47 PM CST 2025

Today I ran into an interesting question, why am I being asked to configure
tzdata while installing npm. Turns out that the aptitude cli has a why
command that very handily nails down why you have something installed on a
debian based system.
Install aptitude #
apt install aptitude
Why tzdata #
Now we can query why we need tzdata and see the full chain with the root
package being npm.
root@47685221fb82:/# aptitude why tzdata

i A node-gyp Depends gyp (>= 0.1+20200513gitcaa6002)
