GitHub - darrenburns/posting: The modern API client that lives in your terminal. The modern API client that lives in your terminal. - darrenburns/posting GitHub · github.com [1] 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.

Blogmarks that use markdown I needed to attach a correction to an older blogmark (my 20-year old name for short-form links with commentary on my blog) today - but the commentary field has always … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net [1] 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. References: [1]: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Apr/25/blogmarks-that-use-markdown/

A Link Blog in the Year 2024 Kellan Elliott-McCrea has started a new link blog: Like many people I’ve been dealing with the collapses of the various systems I relied on for information over the previous decades. … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net [1] THIS! is the same reasons that I built thoughts [2]{.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.

[1] 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 [2]{.hoverlink} where I link and make thoughts on posts like this, to reader [3]{.hoverlink} which is my rss reader replacement that I wanted in 2013 when it was killedbygoogle [4] 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 chatgpt launched and set the world ablaze. Suddenly you can get any answer you want as a custom fit blog post for free without effort, thus killing the traffic to any of these sites.

How to Configure DNS over TLS (DoT) Using Unbound DNS in OPNsense Going beyond the basics of home networking homenetworkguy.com [1] 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. Note I did try to setup the family resolver and found it was blocking some sites I am ok with. I decided to drop back to the vanilla resolver and let other services within opnsense control blocking where I can caontrol the whitelist myself.

GitHub - argoproj/argo-events: Event-driven Automation Framework for Kubernetes Event-driven Automation Framework for Kubernetes. Contribute to argoproj/argo-events development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub · github.com [1] 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 [2]. References: [1]: https://github.com/argoproj/argo-events?tab=readme-ov-file [2]: /homelab/

Ulauncher — Application launcher for Linux 🐧 Download Ulauncher for Linux, discover extensions and videos, and support the project. ulauncher.io [1] Just discovered this really cool launcher from the DHH distro omakub. github.com/omakub [2]{.hoverlink}. Ulauncher comes out of the box looking good, supports extensions, and shortcuts like I have a lot of mac launchers have. I installed it plus a theme and in no time It was looking good and launching applications. In the past I have leaned in on rofi for task launching, it is good. I just felt it was harder to configure to get right or look good. References: [1]: https://ulauncher.io/ [2]: https://github.com/basecamp/omakub

There’s a number of great nuggets in here to pick up on. No need to write bespoke configs for every essential tool just to get started or to be up on all the latest command-line tools.

How to Force Dark Mode on Every Website in Google Chrome Do you like dark mode? Chrome now lets you forcibly enable it for every site on the web. No more blindingly bright websites. How-To Geek · howtogeek.com [1] Sometimes I struggle to get my os to report dark mode to chrome, luckily there is a way to force chrome to always use dark mode. I’ve never really gotten into dark reader and extensions like this. For some reason they all make websites look really weird to me and I don’t really care for it. What I want is websites designed to be in dark/light to always go dark, if the designer didn’t design dark just let it be light.

xxHash - Extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm xxhash.com [1] xxHash is an extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm, working at RAM speed limit. It is proposed in four flavors (XXH32, XXH64, XXH3_64bits and XXH3_128bits). The latest variant, XXH3, offers improved performance across the board, especially on small data.

xxhash Python binding for xxHash PyPI · pypi.org [1] I hit an issue with markata where even though a bunch of articles were cached, the site build was still slow because I was hitting hashlib.sha256 so hard for cache keys. I was shocked when this popped up in my profiler as a significant portion of the time spent. I swapped out for xxhash and that issue completely went away.

How to Deliver Code Every Day I recently calculated that I merge 0.8 pull requests every day into my team repo. Let’s round up and say I merge about one PR every day, delivering one or more features to production. I like this... Jake Worth · jakeworth.com [1] Great set of tips here! No waiting. No “waiting until tomorrow” or “It’s Friday, let’s wait until Monday” to deploy. If your deploys are so slow that deploying an hour before the end of the day is a risk, that’s a separate problem. If you’re afraid of a Friday deploy, your system is too brittle, or you don’t have foolproof rollback procedures, or you don’t have people you trust on call to resolve it. Each of these is a problem that you can fix. This one I find interesting I think there are some industries where customers come in large waves over the weekend, and a weekend bug can not only ruin someones day off, take longer to fix, but also cost a lot of money. Not deploying on Friday is totally what that team should be doing. Most of us are not that team. Most of us work on small teams supporting some sort of product that Should be able to be tested and rolled back. I completely agree with Jake here, if your not will...

You Have to Get Fast to Get Good at Programming Great programmers aren’t fast because they’re great. They’re great because they’re fast. Jake Worth · jakeworth.com [1] Be Fast, Practice, Hone your craft. There’s a lot to be said here about honing your craft for editing text, picking up a few extra WPM, learning vim shortcuts. Also just build shit. The more you build new and different things the more not only your text editing will just roll out, your skills to see patterns in code and architecture will flourish. Read their bios, and the answer is always no. They loved to play, sure. They had some base talent, typically. But they also invested an absurd amount of time into that skill set. This! is actually what turned me on to Post Malone. I remember hearing his story in how he was just known as the guy with a guitar because he was always playing it between class and everything.
