Changelog Ā· changelog.com [1]
This is one of my favorite changelog episodes of all time. I had no idea all the work that has gone into the right to repair and ifixit. They talk a lot about apple and its trend to be less repairable from unservicable air pods to serialized components within iphone.
A lot of legal talk that was far more interesting that I thought it would be. Recently winning the right to repair case against John Deere, and creating repairability scores for devices to be placed in stores like energy guide is.

Distrobox
Use any linux distribution inside your terminal.
distrobox.it [1]
distrobox gives you distrobox-host-exec to run commands on the host. This is handy to get access to host level clis that you probably wouldnāt want to run from the container like podman, docker, flatpak.
DESCRIPTION
distrobox-host-exec lets one execute command on the host, while inside of a container.
Under the hood, distrobox-host-exec uses host-spawn a project that lets us execute commands back on the host. If the tool is not found the user will be prompted to install it.

Distrobox is so interesting and cool, Iāve only recently started realizing how much it can do especially related to hardware and graphics, this is quite an example that runs obs in a distrobox. I had no idea distrobox would let you connect to cameras and gpus so seemlessly, and give you a gui to work from. And with distrobox you can export so that it just looks like an app on your system.

How Ahrefs gets a Billion dollar-worth infrastructure with a 90% discount
A holistic comparison of on-prem Ahrefs infrastructure with a cloud alternative
Medium Ā· tech.ahrefs.com [1]
2024 has been a wild year for infra with going ābackā to on prem being made popular by @dhh [2]. Well it looks like ahrefs saw right through the cloud trends an decided to ride the anti cloud train until it came back around to the station.

I cant imagine raw ec2 and ebs being the cheapest route into aws. They used no serverless tech in their article, but I digress, because I like this own your shit and build good product train.

This follow up does dive into the typical gut reaction that people cost a lot of money, you must account for them. You see when you hire people who are actually good at what they do, and run lean a lot of cost goes away, you have levels of management that disappear, levels of tooling that donāt need to exist, departments of IT donāt need to exist.

Safer Bash Shebang Recipes - Just Programmer's Manual
just.systems [1]
When using justfiles each line is ran separately from the last, unless you specify the file to be ran by something other than just such as bash. If you want variables to persist you need to set a shebang.
Also if you are using your script i a way that you want it to exit when it fails you need to set -e and -o pipefail. This is critical if you are thinking about using just for production scripts like ci/cd. Iāve hit too bugs where ci passes, but no artifacts were created issues for this exact reason.
foo:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euxo pipefail
hello='Yo'
echo "$hello from Bash!"

Simon Willisonās Weblog Ā· simonwillison.net [1]
Damn this Tim Paul quote finishes hard and such a good point. None of the stuff around llms just work. Good uiās, front end, back end, infrastructure, product. All these things still need to exist, and in fact for ai to be good we need to still go hard on them otherwise everything will die in a heaping pile of ai slop [2]
Iām no developer, but I got the AI part working in about an hour.
What took longer was the other stuff: identifying the problem, designing and building the UI, setting up the templating, routes and data architecture.
It reminded me that, in order to capitalise on the potential of AI technologies, we need to really invest in the other stuff too, especially data infrastructure.
It would be ironic, and a huge shame, if AI hype sucked all the investment out of those things.

such a sick episode with dax.
SSTās free tier will be free as long as aws allows a free tier, their free tier literally costs them nothing.
They talked about keeping SST small, the limitations that brings, but also the number of problems that just go away when you only have 3 people building. Lots of process disappears, everyone can trust everyone, no one needs to wait for approval, everyone is their own PM and just builds cool shit. They donāt have to worry about big costs and making payroll because they are profitable so much higher than their costs.
If they can get through phase one of just being the go platform for a very specific audience of users, and gain marketshare, the ideas of offerings on top of this are endless.

I added the msi to steam from my downloads, hit start, failed right away like he said it would. changed compatability to proton experimental, and it opened right up.

How an empty S3 bucket can make your AWS bill explode
Imagine you create an empty, private AWS S3 bucket in a region of your preference. What will your AWS bill be the next morning?
Medium Ā· medium.com [1]
Imagine waking up to a $1,300 for running an example project! That sounds like peanuts for a cloud bill but for an individual trying to learn that hits my monthly budget real hard.
Thatās what happened to Marciej, make sure you check out the full article and give them a š on Medium if you have an account.
The more I see things come out about aws, the more it makes me sick, and confirm my feelings that I cannot possibly use them for a side project without some real $$ planning to come out of it.
Yes, S3 charges for unauthorized requests (4xx) as well[1]. Thatās expected behavior.
They offer no DDOS protection against 4xx or 5xx requests against your bucket. Absolutely bonkers that you have ZERO control over this.

This response just feels absolutely gross.

from inline_snapshot import snapshot
def something():
return 1548 * 18489
def test_something():
assert something() == snapshot()
now if I run pytest my tests will fail because my assert will fail, but if I run pytest --inline-snapshot=create it will fill out my snapshot values and the file will then look like this.
from inline_snapshot import snapshot
def something():
return 1548 * 18489
def test_something():
assert something() == snapshot(28620972)

GitHub - nalgeon/redka: Redis re-implemented with SQL
Redis re-implemented with SQL. Contribute to nalgeon/redka development by creating an account on GitHub.

Redka a sick new redis compatable api, that uses sqlite as its backend datastore. It feels lightweight to use as it is a single small binary. Data does not have to fit into memory as it uses sqlite to store data.

Arch Linux - News: The xz package has been backdoored
archlinux.org [1]
Check your system to see if you are vulnerable to the xz backdoor.
I found this line most pertanent to me.
The xz packages prior to version 5.6.1-2 (specifically 5.6.0-1 and 5.6.1-1) contain this backdoor.
Also it appears that arch is not vulnerable as it does not directly link openssh to liblzma, so the known attack vecotor is not possible. read to the end of the linked article for more.

I found this statement quite intriguing.
multi-cursors are just macros.
This is quite a philisophical video and mostly prime talking about the things that make vim vim, and what prime needs in and editor vs what he can live without.

Use an llm to automagically generate meaningful git commit messages
I
harper.blog [1]
This is pretty sick, I wanted this early on when I was making lockhart. I wanted to do the git [2] hook thing but could not figure it out and did not know that prepare-commit-msg was a hook that I could use.
Git Hooked
Then I remembered! Git hooks! Lol. Why would I have that in my brain - who knows!
I asked claude again, and they whipped up a simple script that would act as a hook that triggers with the prepare-commit-msg event.
This is awesome, cuz if you want to add a git message, you can skip the hook. But if you are lazy, you exclude the message and it will call the LLM.
Simon Willisonās llm cli comes in clutch here, it has such a good intereface to allow a prompt to be piped in, but the system prompt be set by -s.
gpt = "!f() { git diff $1 | llm -s \"$(cat ~/.config/prompts/commit-system-prompt.txt)\" }; f"
I love hacking on projects, but often I am super bad at making commits that make sense.
I completely relate to this statement, and this is why I am trying it.

This is how you fix the stupid corner section of a double scroll bar being white on a dark theme site.
::-webkit-scrollbar-corner {
background: rgba(0,0,0,0);
}
The question included an example image where you can see white squares everywhere there are horizontal and vertical scroll bars.

This is an interesting problem. I want to make a solution for this on htmx [1]-patterns. I would make user specific routes with an hx-get rather than serving the whole page, serve a partial with hx-oobs to fill in user specific data with a no cache on the cdn level.
