Interesting takes on Diun here. I agree that I like to be in control of updates and pinning not to latest. both seemed like they weren’t going to run it because they can look up the latest version. Maybe I need to be less aggressive on keeping things up to date and its a me problem. I just got diun setup and hooked into ntfy, and I kinda like the automated checklist of new images that I can review and update.

To be a bit more clear, having control over changes coming in from others, even if I dont care to see the changelog, it is nice to roll out an update, have it in your git history, watch it deploy and work like before, if not roll back and read the changelog. For internal applications I’m down for automated releases like argo image updater give you, this thing has already gone through review, launch the damn thing at least to a dev space.

Davids blogs always have so many links that send me down new rabbit holes. Interesting that his experience with smart home is turning away, I’ve been somewhat interested for awhile, but never fully pulled the trigger on buying things.

I really hope tailscale enshitification does not take off, but really for me, I barely use it even as a homelabber. Idk why, but every other homelabber praises it so much and I just dont find myself using it.

xeiaso, has the coolest characters on her blog. Definitely something I’d like to replicate. I really appreciate how each one has its own sprite sheet, and they have conversations with each other.

Diun, looks like a very interesting tool to monitor for image updates, it does not make any change, it only makes notifications. This feels like an easy start to getting image updates started with low effort, keep git ops, but requires manual updates. I see this as a tool that would be a great start and pair well with automated image updaters to ensure they are working as expected.

Keel looks interesting, I might give it a try as a simple image updater. I’m unsure if it fits my gitops patterns though. I like to keep everything defined in git, I don’t like drift outside of that so Keel might not be the thing I want.

Damn he makes this easy. I did not know about hx-select. yes there is waste in requesting the entire thing every 5s, but damn that was easy to get life reload. I’ve only done very specific backend endpoints, built pages up from partials, made endpoints for partials. keeping this one in my back pocket.

I’m just kind of amazed that he could do this all in html without touching the backend or js, typically things like this require one or the other. Yes js is running, but no other js library I’m aware of lets you do this.

Using pbpaste for command substitution keeps sensitive or long URLs out of your shell history. Instead of typing git clone https://github.com/user/repo-with-long-name.git, copy the URL to clipboard and run git clone "$(pbpaste)". This prevents the URL from appearing in ~/.bash_history or ~/.zsh_history.

To get pbpaste working on both Xorg and Wayland, add this to your shell config:

if [[ $(command -v wl-copy) ]]; then alias pbcopy='wl-copy' pbpaste() { wl-paste; } elif [[ $(command -v xclip) ]]; then alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard' pbpaste() { xclip -selection clipboard -o; } fi

The function approach (instead of alias) enables command substitution, while the quotes around $(pbpaste) handle spaces and special characters safely.

Now you can use it.

looking into trying these Mill-Max pins on a handwired 3d printed build to see if I can get away from specialty hot swap sockets. Damn they aren’t exactly cheap, I really want the nice short ones but they start at $20 per 60ct and you need two per key, that adds up quick.

jina reader is a pretty sweet tool to convert a site to ai compatible text. There are other web to markdown types of tools, but the convenience of just adding r.jina.ai to the front of any page makes it so easy to grab for one page of docs.

the racked up 4 framework mainboards sound wild. connected with usb4 and 5gig ethernet. they said they can run big models quantized down from 600Gb to within the 512GB limit they have. This seems wild to bring this level of capability to such a low price point. It will be really cool to start to see demos come out.
