- DT says it so well in this video, I’ve never really been one to shit on software projects, with maybe a VERY small handful of exceptions. The shitting on ubuntu always rubbed me wrong, shitting on flatpak and snap I never got, shitting on systemd because of Leonard Pottering I never got, DT puts it in such good words here. If you don’t like it you are probably not the target audience. If Ubuntu is too bloated, don’t try to debloat it, this is not windows, we have options, Ubuntu is one option and so much is intertwined together in something like Ubuntu if you think you want to try to “debloat” it good luck. If you have a problem with Snaps, this is probably not for you. You are probably looking for a distro with more control, probably something that you choose everything for.

Lab Update Update on the lab setup and what I’ve been working on recently. Cloudy with a Chance of Tech · blog.thomaswimprine.com [1] Always enjoy a good read through someone elses setup. I appreciate the desire for pi clusters they are cute, they seem cheap, but feel a bit overrated (at least for those of us with relatively cheap electricity). I love seeing the refurb “tiny desktops” getting a second useful life in a homelab [2] after they have serve their useful life in the corporate world sitting behind the monitor of some reception desk. These things rock, they are underrated, x86_64, not ARM, so they just work. Until ARM becomes more normalized in the datacenter this is where its at. Note This post is a thought [3].

[1] I’m digging these web2app’s from DHH’s omarchy for setting up an opinionated archlinux hyprland. This gives a way to quickly open a web app as an app either with a hotkey or run launcher in its own dedicated window that you can put on it’s own workspace. I really like a workflow of keeping one window per workspace on one monitor and I can quickly navigate between apps with a single hotkey. This gives you the power to switch through things like chat, terminal, browser, steam game with blazing speed from the keybaord, no clicking no searching, just going directly to it.

GitHub - chase/awrit: A full graphical web browser for Kitty terminal with mouse and keyboard support A full graphical web browser for Kitty terminal with mouse and keyboard support - chase/awrit GitHub · github.com [1] awrit is a full graphical browser that runs inside of kitty. I’ve moved on some of my machines away from kitty as the maintainer has seemed so hostile and there are other great therminals out there, but I’m going to give this a go. I have kitty running on my hyprland setup as it is the default anyways. It is actual chromium rendering to a kitty graphics protocol. Note This post is a thought [2].

[1] I’ve ran my homelab [2] on k3s for a year and a half now, and have had talos fomo the whole time. I’m not sure if this article helps or hurts. Helps to see that techdufus struggled and wished he went k3s first, but theres so much good to it that I want it. Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring (because you can’t manage what you can’t see) # [3] I’m getting there, ok, I have some of it figured out but not firing on all cylinders like I want. CloudNativePG # [4] for PostgreSQL (way better than managing databases manually) Amen to this, cnpg is kick ass and has me tempted to drop sqlite for my production database default. I mostly make small shit on the side that is never going to blow up. sqlite is really good, but the automation that comes along with cnpg to just run it on all nodes and backups once you establish the pattern with the first one is sick. 🤣🤣🤣 actually read the docs 🤣🤣🤣 # [5] [6] Is This Overkill for a Homelab? # [7] Absolutely. Could do most of this with k3s or Docker Compose. But where’s the fun in that? Speaking my language here! Again I’m well past the 1 year mark of running k3s and i’ve had no regrets.

- vim usage is becoming normie level. Just like archinstall made it too easy to install arch and brought normies into the ecosystem. It killed ArchBTW^TM^, distros like lazyvim have killed vimBTW^TM^. It used to be that to run arch, vim, nvim you had to read the docs, and go deep on understanding. running archinstallor lazyvim make it so easy to get started that you miss all of the details, you no longer have to understand ctags, quickfix, what an lsp is, or even how to set your own keybindings. You just use the damn thing, like you would with VSC****. No shame to anyone who does this, but you are probably missing out on a bunch of really useful features of a very core tool in your workflow.

- 2025 is not the year to get put on the market, its rough out there. Junior’s have little chance, senior+ are even struggling. We had it easy from 2020-2023, now its over saturated and you have to want to be in this industry to be here and stay here.

Notes – 09:32 Thu 19 Jun 2025 Notes – 09:32 Thu 19 Jun 2025 dbushell.com · dbushell.com [1] David’s design on his blog is fantastic likely from years of small improvements like this converting ugly quotes to pretty quotes and optimizing fonts. It’s common for markdown libraries to convert the first to the second like my build script does. This is new to me, I had no idea that markdown libraries did this, I’m now interested if markdown-it does it. For subsetting I use the fontTools library but I’ve no idea how to setup Python environments. I got it working once and failed to document the process. David, David, David, I’m sorry python has done you this dirty. I should do a post on making python environments in the age of Posts tagged: uv [2]. You got options to run in docker/podman, a whole ass vm, uv venv, uvx, uv run, uv script, python -m venv, virtualenv, poetry, hatch, and too many more. The ones that matter are containers or uv.
