kubeseal is a pretty simple to get started with way to manage secrets such that they can be stored in a git repo and be picked up by your continuous delivery service.

Sealed Secrets provides declarative Kubernetes Secret Management in a secure way. Since the Sealed Secrets are encrypted, they can be safely stored in a code repository. This enables an easy to implement GitOps flow that is very popular among the OSS community.

Great episode covering a seemingly simple topic. What I really benefitted from was hearing all the different use cases, from logging, debugging, to a/b testing, caching, and auth. I hadn’t even thought of it being applied to a router. I thought of it being applied for an entire application. This seems very useful for things like an admin router, all routes would need to have the admin role to get in.

I’ve been using these decorators to modify the behavior of specific routes. It will do things like 404 admin only routes in a way that looks just like fastapi’s default, or only allow certain roles into the route, or redirect unauthenticated users to login.

After listening to yesterday’s syntaxfm I’m now really thinking about middleware and the benefits it might have. middleware would make it easy to apply things like admin to an entire admin router, so you wont forget it on any one admin route. It will look cleaner as the admin checker is only applied once per router, not once per route.

I switched from a 60% vortex pok3r to a 40% corne June, 2021. I can relate to a lot of what Carlos talks about here. I think going from 60%-40% made my journey harder than it needed to be. There’s no going back now, but it took me a really long time to be able to hit all of the numbers and symbols, just figuring out how to do the layout was hard there’s not much space.

I didn’t touch type. I never really used my pinkies, except maybe for ESC, Shift, CTRL, Backspace et al.

I can relate to this, my typing habits were terrible. Shortly before going split ortho I worked on my speed with lots, and lots of practice on keybr and monkeytype. I took my speed from 35wpm to 80wpm with a few months of steady practice. This is one of the best things I did for myself.

Once I got split it dropped down to single digits and slowly rose back up to 80, just barely breaking my PB on monkeytype.

Carlos has a pretty sick setup here, I can relate to mostly, cept the macos part. My main critique is that I don’t think he gave window managers much chance on linux, and they just don’t work on MacOS/Windows.

Most of the time I have a single, maximized window.

I can relate to this. I should really make a full post about my experience with tiling window managers. TLDR, I came for tiling and I stayed for the workspaces.

Multiple Displays An exception here could be streaming: having multiple displays can help preventing doxing yourself if you only share the screen of one of them. I only did stream like 3 times and that’s what I did, but I’m sure experienced streamers have better workflows (with or without multiple displays).

This is a sick feature of Jim’s blog, I am really inspired by this. I am not sure how to do it for my own. I honestly think the easiest non locked in way would be to just use google search console results. It’s definitely a different way to think about it, but most of my traffic is coming from google search, so it would be a pretty good ballpark estimate.

An absolute fantastic episode about blogging, thinking about a web1.0 kind of world today, and what it means moving forward.

Web 1.0 is robust, you own your own destiny, you own your data, you can do what you want. There is no platform to tell you what you can and cannot do. But the future web is stealing your data to build AI models, spam sites are duplicating your content and stealing your SEO. You may or may not care, but at the end whether you get traffic or now you own your web 1.0 sites.

I figured out the killer combination for python lsp servers, ruff and jedi! ruff does all of the diagnostics and formatting, then jedi handles all the code objects like go to definition and go to reference.

Underrated python library to on board ruff, or just use it on a project where its not the norm. ruff claims that its 99.9% compatible with black and when you read through the known differences they are clearly edge case bugs in black.

See this page for more about the comparison to black https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/faq/#how-does-ruffs-formatter-compare-to-black

oh and I just noticed that it is maintianed by Charlie, and comes straight out of astral.

First I need to fetch my thoughts from the api, and put it in a local sqlite database using sqlite-utils.

fthoughts () { # fetch thoughts curl 'https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com/posts/waylonwalker/?page_size=9999999999' | sqlite-utils insert ~/.config/thoughts/database2.db post --pk=id --alter --ignore - }

Now that I have my posts in a local sqlite database I can use sqlite-utils to enable full text search and populate the full text search on the post table using the title message and tags columns as search.

sthoughts () { # search thoughts # sqlite-utils enable-fts ~/.config/thoughts/database2.db post title message tags # sqlite-utils populate-fts ~/.config/thoughts/database2.db post title message tags sqlite-utils search ~/.config/thoughts/database2.db post "$*" | ~/git/thoughts/format_thought.py | bat --style=plain --color=always --language=markdown } alias st=sthoughts

Now I am ready to search my thoughts, which is a tiny blog format that I created mostly for leaving my own personal comment on web pages, so most of them have a link to some other online content, and their title is based...

This is the best tree I have ever built in minecraft. It took at least 4 stacks of logs and leaves despite what it looks like.

It is placed where Welscraft’s island in the hermitcraft season 10 seed, but on our own server we call lonecraft.

We started this server a few weeks after hermitcraft season 10 started, and play on it a few times per week. It has a pretty successful day one iron farm that took us way more than one day to complete, and the farm behind this is our first ever villager driven farm. Somehow potatoes got cross contaminated and now its pumping out potatoes and some bread, but no carrots or beat roots.
