Bluesky is almost excatly like twitter was when I joined years ago. It’s gone crazy lately bogged deep in politics, bots, and ads. I’ve seen like two scroll pages of ads in a row, its nuts. What I did not know before Joel pointed out here is that the feed I am looking at is my following feed, its only feed of people I follow in descending order. On bluesky you get to pick your feed!!! This feels like tweetdeck did back when we were able to run that. You could tune in search terms and save them it was glorious. Bluesky has some really interesting ones that you can use like popular with friends, only posts, my bangers, that have a pre defined algorithms.

This man is responsible for making gaming on linux what it is today. Such a heartfelt story to hear that reviving his dad’s machine was at the core of what drove him to do what he has done for the wider gaming on linux community. Update on your schedule, remove all the tracking and bloatware, this is what drove him to start using linux before making it accessible for his Dad.

But really do update, this is not your 2002 PHP box, things need updated and regular updates help the process.

Just tried using my twitter api key for the first time in quite awhile. Apps now need to be tied to projects in order to work. It looks like projects are where pricing comes into play. Thankfully they still give a free tier for doing small time things for myself. You can really see the effect that llms have on these things though as it is 5x more expensive to read posts than to make posts currently. Data is the new gold for these kind of companies.

Wild that the podman-compose github readme calls out k3s as an alternative.

compose definitely has its place, especially for local development on a developers machine, its so much easier to stand up and get things like hot reload up and running smooth.

Intereresting someone built a blog generator in bash. it comes with normal markdown to html, static content, robots.txt, sitemap, rss, and tags. It uses pandoc to take markdown to html and mustache for page templates.

Css is getting so good, new things like interpolate-size are making things that use to require some deep expertise and hacks intuitive and easy.

Looks like a great start to a rules file for fastapi.

I have never heard anyone say this. It feels weird to me. The other early return, find and handle errors early all make sense to me, but happy path last is new to me.

Really interesting way to generate a rules file for agentic workflows based on your current repo. John uses gitingest here, looks like a fantastic tool, but probably not useful for most private repos. I’m sure you can replicate the same thing in a private repo wtih a small amount of effort the few times you need to do it. gitingest looks like a great way to pull in some extra context for some open source dependencies that you have though.

Gitingest has a python package on pypi that you can run with uvx, and it accepts the same arguments as the web version, right in your terminal

Replace hub with ingest in any github and get a prompt friendly codebase ready to feed into any llm. It combines the entire codebase, based on a gitignore style glob that you pass in, into a single TXT file.

Definitely need to give codecompanion.nvim a try, it looks like a competitor to windsurf but in nvim. It looks so feature complete that its hard to grasp all of what it does.

Great panel of software folks at open sauce. It was interesting hearing from all these creators from the perspective of an open sauce panel.

New release out for nvim-manager that supports installing pre-configured distros. It’s such a breeze to install these now, its been fun to go through each of them. The currently included distros are.

First release of nvim-manager is out. Your dotfiles change a lot, sometimes it’s hard to manage all of the places you have installed them and potentially made hand edits to. nvim-manager allows you to easily make static releases of your dotfiles, and keep your nvim install from breaking by leveraging NVIM_APPNAME and pinned releases of your dotfiles stored in ~/.config. In this directory you might have many nvim configurations installed, nvim-manager automates the process of installing and updating from your dotfiles, while keeping previous pinned versions untouched.

Nice list of url escape codes. I did not actually know that to get a literal sequence like %2D you can use $2D.

This setup fixed my nvim syntax highlighting in helm templates.

imagegenius has made an immich all in one setup that looks much easier to use than immich.

I can say I had the same kind of feelings when I first saw something called “Own Your Web” being run in Buttondown. I totally get it. It takes time and effort to build your own stuff, email sending is hard, not done right ends you in the spam folder. There is something about the name though that I think needs to set an example and self host as much as it possibly can.

The changelog has covered this several times, do they need to go to the crazy lengths they do to run their site, no probably not, but it keeps them in the loop. They are using the tech they talk about in a very real and production critical way to run the show.

Cant wait to see more from ownyourweb.site

Gyroscope better than a mouse?? Nerd nest really sells how having two gyros in the way they have done for noise cancelling changes the game on it, and makes it a contender to replace a mouse.

It really makes me want to try it. I love how repairable this controller looks. I’ve got to imagine that the fact that it comes as a kit, and all the parts are available that this hits S tier repairability. My current controller of choice is a PS5 and I’ve had stick issues I wish I could fix.

No analog triggers, I’m out. Maybe they will make it an option in the future idk. I don’t play shooters where I need a hair trigger, this won’t work on session or driving games.

micro usb, seriously, that kinda kills it for me too.

postiz looks like a very polished way to automate and schedule posts to all the social services.
