Interesting, linux supports 32 programmable buttons, special buttons that do nothing that hotkey programs like xbindkeys can pick up and run things, seems like it would be very intersting to use on a macro pad. You could easily do dynamic and complex tasks without clashing that keybinding with something else.

I’m going to look into this for my next obs setup. No matter what I try to do with the hyper key it always tends to do odd things depending on the application I am in. typically its tmux, and it starts trying to do something I don’t want it to.

Create virtual environments for any Python version, without needing Python installed.

Love how Daniel just brushed off the number of netflix tv installs as small beans for curl installs. overall great episode on open source, owning a major component to technology with such a small team.

Great keyboard design guide for all the different mounting options that are normal for keyboards with pros and cons of each.

Super cool idea, kinda breaking the rules by talking about it here, but Its a cool idea to throw out posts to the core audience. Apparently its been around for quite while Dave started in 2018.

A linter for linting kubernetes manifests and help charts.

Full reference to all of the qmk keycode list. Handy reference to refer to all of the keycodes that qmk has.

Fantastic guide to building handwried keyboards. I used this guide to build my first hand-wired macro pad.

Two inspirational people in one podcast, its cool to see how adam thinks about code, css, webdev, and building businesses.

Great listen for anyone interested in productionizing python code with docker. Itamar brings up some

Don’t trust base images for security, upgrade your packages. Vulnerabilties become published and solved giving the bad guys istructions how to wreck your day and these fixes wont come to your docker application for up to two weeks due to image build tatency.

For job based containers pre-compile your pyc for faster startup.

Alpine linux is probably not what you want for python. Many packages such as postgres ship pre-copiled binaries that work for most linux distributions wich use glibc, but alpine uses musl so the binaries will be incompatable requiring you to need to install a bunch of build dependencies.

Homelabbers have been some of the best co-workers I have ever had. Typically have a get shit done, If there’s a way I will find it kind of mentality. If you are struggling to get a job in tech right now its tough. Starting a homelab on a pc you pull out of the trash is a good way to get some experience that you can talk about in interview questions.

Linked video has some great points!

podman requires qemu-system on

❯ podman machine init Looking up Podman Machine image at quay.io/podman/machine-os:5.1 to create VM Extracting compressed file: podman-machine-default-amd64.qcow2: done Error: exec: "qemu-img": executable file not found in $PATH

The fix to this for me was to install qemu-system before podman machine init.

svgbackgrounds is a really awesome resource for svg things recently featured on https://shoptalkshow.com/618/

Currently Posting is a super early postman like tui (terminal user interface). It looks so good. Darren is really getting into a groove, and textual is getting to a place that is allowing him to really make these beautiful.

I am so impressed with the progress that he has made so early, it looks so close to postman in the freaking terminal, and the ui is so good. He already has think like jump that give you a way to around the ui like easymotion plugins. Theres themes and a command line, oh man its so good. star it.

Oh I kinda like the name blogmark, as opposed to thoughts like I have chose for the same thing. Aparantly Simon beat me to the punch by 20 years on this one.

THIS! is the same reasons that I built thoughts{.hoverlink}. Simon has bee a big inspiration along the way. He defintely changed the format of my posts as I watched him build out his quote posts.

Link blogging is a pleasantly low-pressure way of writing online. Found something interesting? Post a link to it, with a sentence or two about why it’s worth checking out.

Ditto! just make a post.

Kellan brings some interesting thoughts on where the internet is headed in 2024. Interestingly I see myself headed in a similar direction. Feeling like I know just enough to say fuck it and build my own platform for me to me me, from thoughts{.hoverlink} where I link and make thoughts on posts like this, to reader{.hoverlink} which is my rss reader replacement that I wanted in 2013 when it was killedbygoogle

And particular with the collapse of the social spaces many of us grew up with, I feel called back to earlier forms of the Internet, like blogs, and in particular, starting a link blog.

Ai has really had quite the two sided effect since...

Setting up DNS overTLS in opnsense has made my dns just a bit more secure and reliable. I recently had an outage of half the internet within my house. This also hit some of my friends and not some. It did not hit my mobile network. What seems to have happened is a dns issue with my isp not resolving some domains. This setup corrected my issue and I was back online more securely.

Argo events is an event driven automation framework for kubernetes that can create kubernetes objects among other things based on events. I’ve been using native kubernetes cronjobs to kick off jobs based on a cron trigger.

For instance I am running reader.waylonwalker.com every hour, to rebuild the site and re-deploy it. It takes about two minutes to fetch every rss feed, so this is a nice application of a job compared to a web server fetching the feeds live. Now my posts may be up to an hour stale but they load fast.

Argo events takes event drien architecture to the next level allowing to be triggered by many more things, and do many more things than creating a cron job. I’m definitely thinking about dropping this in my homelab.

I am using this theme for Ulauncher in arch and it looks fantastic! One line install (read it first).
