- How is usability and it doing the thing I paid for it to do a selling point?? Any time I’ve touched a windows machine in the past 7 years has felt awkward, I have no idea where things are now, but they look so much worse. Note This post is a thought [1].

A quote from Mark Zuckerberg You also mentioned the whole Chatbot Arena thing, which I think is interesting and points to the challenge around how you do benchmarking. How do you know what models are … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net [1] Interesting how confidently he says we can easily go to the top. really makes you wonder what we the normies are leaving on the table by using these general purpose models and what could be achieved with really tuned in models. Could I make an automatic blog tagger more accurately, maybe smaller, maybe tuned so well it runs fine on cpu? Note This post is a thought [2].

Helm - Postiz Documentation Install Postiz using Kubernetes and Helm Postiz Documentation · docs.postiz.com [1] I didn’t realize that postiz had a helm chart, I just hand rolled mine based on the compose file they provide. I went from running the compose stack locally to running in my homelab [2] with kubernetes. I am using cnpg rather than a postgres container which I really like the workflow of as far as backup and restore. The one hiccup I ran into was changing the domain from localhost to my homelab domain killed all of my integrations and they needed the redirect url updated. Note This post is a thought [3].

- This is a wild concept for a slicer, essentially he didn’t even make a slicer just a crazy pre-process and post prossess to cura slicer, deforming the part until it doesn’t have any overhangs, creating a normal planar slice, then undeforming the output from cura. He also mentions that the rapid moved needed modified as well. I’m assuming this is because they are generally long distances and not short, without breaking these long lines up we would still end up wtih a straight line after deform.

- How to make an entire clickable without presenting the entire content of the card as the link title. These videos are great, I’ve ran into these types of problems so many times, and definitely did not know about things like isolate to keep the z-index scoped to one element. - isolate - scope z-index inside this element so that it does not leak out. - [.relative [.absolute, inset-0, z-10]] - the inset zero is a modern shorthand for zeroing all sides, top-0, right-0, bottom-0, left-0.

- This is an absolute banger of a review by prime and Dylan Beetle. I love the similar takes with different perspectives, would really like to see them podcast together, but this one way style interview does really well to cover a lot of issues in open source, rug pulls, version pinning, thankless maintainers, what its like to open source from a large company.

Perils of Self-Hosting We speak to Kevin and Patricia from Traefik, discuss Alex's recent ZFS snafu and we wonder if the new Chromecasts can match up to the Nvidia Shield. Self-Hosted · selfhosted.show [1] 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 [2] 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.

Spring 2025: Self-Hosted Update The one where things plod along dbushell.com · dbushell.com [1] 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. Note This post is a thought [2].

Diun Receive notifications when a Docker image is updated on a Docker registry crazymax.dev [1] 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 [2] 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. Note This post is a thought [3].

Keel Kubernetes Operator to automate Helm, DaemonSet, StatefulSet & Deployment updates keel.sh [1] Keel looks interesting, I might give it a try as a simple image updater.

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 [2] 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. Note This post is a thought [3].
