Good point to check on your uv cache if you are running low on disk space. I checked mine today, and it wasn’t too bad so I left it alone.

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.

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.

I need to give this a try for markata glossary

Never did I think I would see the day that theprimeagen decided to run archlinux. Furthermore him to start ricing it, EVEN furthermore, Pewdiepie runs arch now, and thinks you should too?? and is promoting it on one of the largest YouTube channels ever?? Even DHH is getting in the mix with omarchy Such a cool transistion to see everyone find their way to linux and diving deep into the freedom and customization.

This has to be top tier dopest home page of all time. The commands are all so well customized and whimsical on the terminal.

I’ve ran my homelab 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.

I’m getting there, ok, I have some of it figured out but not firing on all cylinders like I want.

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.

For anyone self hosting a bunch of apps under one domain, I just swapped all of mine to Host matching which includes the full subdomain, and it is glorious to not have 9+ items hit on all of your pages and only the one that you actually want.

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.

Just discovered Sylvan Franklin in this post and he is cracked, sub now.

Wish I would have saw this guide and provided assembly file for setting up virt-manager in distrobox. They call out immutable distros like the knew I was coming.

What’s even real anymore? What a shitty age we are in that you have to form an opinion about news outlets and media outlets.

I just never quite understood why the word just can send people over the top. I get it when you don’t know someone, you don’t have history with them, and they come in saying you are doing something wrong.

I pulled this out into a full post just

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. It used to be a fine place to get a good job to pay the bills, the bar has been raised and if you don’t want to be here you are going to struggle. Theo covers this in this linked video deeply [[ thoughts-472 ]].

Nailed the netflix documentary style. Videos like this make me so grateful that I have a job in this rough market, if you’ve followed jepi’s series you know he’s been out of a job for months, and he is not alone in this. This is the year of “laid of, i didn’t get laid off, I left to focus on my startup”, [[ thoughts-716 ]]

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.

pypi yanks suck, they are rare, this one got me today as it was a pinned dependency in my dependency chain. The latest release broke python 3.6/3.7 (which 3.6 has been EOL for 3.5 years btw), and it claimed >=3.6. In order to allow users to still install xlsxwriter without pinning down it needed yanked. I’m not sure if there was another way around it as pypi releases are immutable, so you cannot fix

This now has me wondering what the heck is using it with old pythons.

It appears to have broken builds on Canonical/checkbox for ubuntu 18.04. Checkbox is a device compatibility testing framework.

I try to use conventional commits on all of my commits, but I often end up only using feat/fix. I need to keep this page handy and get new verbiage worked into my language

Optionally include a scope fix(parser):

A bang indicates a breaking change note. For example …

Wyatt built out this full world to start making a film series about FROGS. The entire set it built on a flat world, but yet feels so immersive.

I like Jim’s visualizations on his site, reminds me a lot of obsidian. I’ve tried to do the same on my analytics page in the past, but it didn’t come out right. I’m going to have to give this another go.

Great breakdown of nextjs. I was highly unaware of its performance optimizations before reading this. The smell of vendor lock in from next/vercel has been there from the start, this is the first real claim I’ve seen.

I’m out on modern js front ends, complex builds that change every 6 months, design patterns are out of date just as fast. Its hard to keep up, especially when you don’t have the use case for highly interactive apps. Libraries like htmx or plain ol js gets the job done on the majority of sites and everything I tend to work on.
