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.

Reminder to myself, look into self hosting postiz with this helm chart later.

Chris Coyier had a small re-align on his site, some good nuggets in here.

I like the idea of having a photo of myself prominently on the site, so you know who you’re dealing with here.

I really like this after thinking about it and I think I am going to make sure I get my face back on my posts. I do have my 8bit style pixel art image of me that I use on social media, but no real picture.

I feel like a lot of people redesign their entire website when it’s time to update to the latest list of social networks and I’m no different. Once you touch it you gotta keep going.

I’ve only recently learned what colophon means, and I really like to read through site that use it. If you don’t know its about how the site is built. I’ve always liked peeking under the hood of things to understand how they work, it’s what turned me towards an engineering degree.

I love how he mentions that he chose the name when he was 17 and he is stuck with it. I particularly like the name, it has something special to it. Hats off to you for doing something that has lasted so long for you. I fully understand though, I have projects that I made a year ago that I think why did I name it that. At the same time when I try to think of a name I end up with the I don’t have anything good and I’d rather build the thing so fuck it, its going to be what it is.

Very interesting way to catalog games, I need to make a catalog of mine, I’ll probably start adding some blog entries for games I’m in and have completed. Wonder if there is a way to hook into steam with python to get achievements and progress live.

Tons of cool people came out with their rss feeds here, again will need to browse more closely later.

Sturobson has a ton of rss feeds here, I recognize quite a few, will definitely need to poke at some of these later.

I’m a sucker for good own your own shit on the web blogs, and Matthias Ott has a top notch one here. The archive has been a great read so far, I’ve discovered things like slashpages.net.

What a great first guest for FAFO. Kelsey is always such a great listen. He talks about killedbygoogle and how engineers get no incentive to work on old projects, google had no incentive, and you got the thing for FREE in the first place. He talks about end of career and having love you money, having so much in the bank you can say no. If you are presented with a project that does not align with your values you can say no.M

Justin even mentions how Google has more killedbygoogle projects than Amazon has total projects.

If we knew how hard it would be, we would never build it.
