hover z-index and positioning

I broke my sick wikilink hover [1] recently in a refactor, today I did some diving in to figure out what happened. Before # [2] As you can see in the screenshot below, the link is in a list of links, and when the hover image pops up it sits behind all of the other text. The z-index of the list-item is supposed to be raised above the others on hover. [3] Manually setting z-index to 20 in the inspector I noticed this message from devtools, “The position: static property prevents z-index from having an effect. Try setting position to something other than static.”, looking back at some of my refactoring I had relative in an old template and it was lost. [4] After # [5] After properly setting position to relative on the list-item, the hover image is raised above the others.

I’ve been posting on this site since 2016, when layoffs were rolling through the company I worked for at the time. Starting a personal blog and a pile of side projects felt like one of the best things I could do for my resume, so off I went. This site is built on markata [1], more about that in the /colophon. [2] The old version of this page embedded static SVGs from my Python Markata build. Those files are gone in the markata-go site, so this page now renders the yearly posting history directly from the current content set.

I fixed lists in my blog

A small improvement to my blog today. I was checking out my /now post and noticed that lists have left padding but no discs or numbers. I popped open my tailwind/app.css added these lines and rebuilt. #post-body li { @apply list-disc; } #post-body ol { @apply list-decimal; } And rebuild, which I actually do with ⭐ casey just [1], but showing the command here for clarity. npx tailwindcss --input tailwind/app.css --output static/app-39.css WHY the applies # [2] Before # [3] [4] After # [5] [6] References: [1]: /casey-just/ [2]: #why-the-applies [3]: #before [4]: https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/5c48f763-5ef6-49b0-9e8f-5167ab046f05.webp [5]: #after [6]: https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/0cf1c5d9-0948-444f-9a6c-387d22b9db43.webp

I built out a tool for myself to manage my nvim configuration, and I wanted to quickly see which one I am running in my starship prompt. Here’s the config I ended up with. It warns if the NVIM_APPNAME environment variable is not set, and it shows which nvim I am using if it is set.

[custom.nvim-manager-system]
when = '[[ ! -n "${NVIM_APPNAME}" ]]'
style = "bold yellow"
symbol = '[ ](fg:#15AABF)'
format = '$symbol[USING SYSTEM NVIM]($style)'

[env_var.NVIM_APPNAME]
style = "green"
symbol = '[ ](fg:#15AABF)'
format = '[$symbol${env_value}]($style)'
variable = "NVIM_APPNAME"

I recently noticed that my og images were missing emoji. They were taken using headless chrome in a container. I fixed it by adding an emoji font in the containerfile / dockerfile.

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    # Add fonts with emoji support
    fonts-noto-color-emoji \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Before #

Here’s what they were looking like with broken emoji fonts.

After #

And now with the fixed emoji font.

Manufacturer Recertified Drives | Enterprise Grade — ServerPar... serverpartdeals.com
Manufacturer Recertified Drives | Enterprise Grade Manufacturer Recertified enterprise drives work and look like new. Rebuilt by the manufacturer and quality tested to ensure they function as new, our recertified drives save on cost. Shop now! ServerPartDeals.com · serverpartdeals.com [1] For my next drive upgrade in my homelab [2] I am gong to be using one of these factory recertified drives from serverpartdeals.com. Found them on an LTT video awhile back. They are some lightly used and recertified, fully burnt in drives. Shop for drives that are certified once again by the manufacturer to work like new. Factory ReCertified drives are cost-effective alternatives compared to factory-sealed new counter parts. Additionally, unlike in mass production, the re-certification process involves closer attention to the overall operation of the hardware so that the re-certification will not have to happen a 2nd time References: [1]: https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/manufacturer-recertified-drives [2]: /homelab/
