Manual Upgrades | K3s
You can upgrade K3s by using the installation script, or by manually installing the binary of the desired version.
docs.k3s.io [1]
You can give k3s an install channel to install stable, latest, or specific versions like 1.26. This is handy to make sure that you install the same version on all of your workers.
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | INSTALL_K3S_CHANNEL=latest <EXISTING_K3S_ENV> sh -s - <EXISTING_K3S_ARGS>

Devin's Upwork "side hustle" exposed (Changelog News #90)

Changelog · changelog.com [1]
Damn 2024 is such a shit show, now Devin seems to be out as a complete scam. It’s really teaching us to have skepticism for what you find on the internet. Turns out that when broken down frame by frame much of the description in the video was a straight up lie. Personally it seemed quite plausible that it was percentage points better than the competition, but I was not holding my breath for it to be a hands off engineer.

I learned about the sqlite_master table from this stack overflow answer. This helps make a lot of sense to how sqlite works. The master table contains all the sqlite objects and the sql to create them.
The .tables, and .schema “helper” functions don’t look into ATTACHed databases: they just query the SQLITE_MASTER table for the “main” database. Consequently, if you used
sqlite3 database.db "SELECT * from sqlite_master;"

Starting with some test code.
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.

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.

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 Willison’s 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.

Sylvain Kerkour · kerkour.com [1]
Very interesting article by Sylvain, suggested by Simon Willison.
Definitely some things that I want to come back and try later on.
Here is the TLDR of the whole post
PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL;
PRAGMA busy_timeout = 5000;
PRAGMA synchronous = NORMAL;
PRAGMA cache_size = 1000000000;
PRAGMA foreign_keys = true;
PRAGMA temp_store = memory;
This is interesting, and something I need to consider. I definitely have an application with slow count queries. I am not sure how to make it better as its not a full count(*) so a count table doesn’t work, nor does counting by index.
I might need to have a table of cached results, and if a write matches the counter increase it, or update all counters on write.
COUNT queries are slow
SQLite doesn’t keep statistics about its indexes, unlike PostgreSQL, so COUNT queries are slow, even when using a WHERE clause on an indexed field: SQLite has to scan for all the matching records.

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.
![[None]]
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 [1]’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.

Joining the split keyboards club: a Moonlander story | Carlos Becker
This post will describe my experience with a couple of firsts:
carlosbecker.com [1]
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.
I still feel like I still can’t type at my previous max speed — mostly because I wasn’t used to use my pinky and used the “wrong finger” for a lot of...
My workflow, part 1 | Carlos Becker
I keep getting asked how my setup works, how I use tmux and
nvim over ssh… all that good stuff.
carlosbecker.com [1]
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).
Accurate, my home machine uses one monitor, and for work I use one monitor+laptop. I pair, screenshare, and present quite a bit at work, and its good to have one screen for sharing, and one for seeing things like the app you are sharing from (chat, cams, etc)

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.

Go is feeling more and more like something I could throw in my tool belt as a python dev. I really like that it’s garbage collected and has great error management. I am just not sure how to work it in without it being the main thing. The thing that is so cool is the ability to ship tiny pre-compiled binaries that just work, and the raw speed. these binaries just get up and working without any warm up. writing any cli in python I’m going to be using something like typer, and it takes half a second just to warm up, so even hello world cannot be faster than half a second.

Great example from Anthony showing how easy it is to practice building database orm models and playing with them in a repl. This is good practice even if you are in a big code base to be able to test and learn in a simplified code base that does not have a mountain of other code around atuh, permissions, security, and other complex things that come into real production code bases that might make it hard to focus on what you are trying to do.
Note
Anthony uses backref here, thats legacy, use back_populates on both parent and child.

backref is considered legacy # [2]
https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/orm/backref.html
As stated in the sqlalchemy docs, backref is a legacy feature. Its shorthand to creating relationships between parent and child, but only adding it to the parent. While this is simpler it introduces some invisible magic.

How do you pronounce URL, is it U.R.L or Earle? I’m about 50/50, mostly when I am in a hurry I use Earle as it is one syllable and easy to say. I picked this up from MPJ of fun fun function, who took over Dev Tips. In this episide Jim uses Earle and they make fun of him. If it’s good enough for Jim, I am done with my 50/50 and I’m going all in on Earle.
Episode also included a fastinating corrdinated attack that used Ars Technica profile photos communicate directions for the next attack via query parameters in the image url.

This really makes me want to try Dolphin Mixtral with ollama now. It looks very impressive from this video. The ability to keep adding features before becoming confused is though with a lot of these llms.
Being chat based, this is not a co pilot replacement. I was really hoping for an in line co pilot like tool that I can run locally. I have not used co pilot yet, but I have had great luck with codeium.

Thor is just straight up a great Human being! Getting a gaming company to tie power and progression with being nice is an incredible feat.

Great take on low code. I have definitely felt the pressure of being presented low code options, “look it does almost everything you need, and you can do it without code.” Granted there are tons of great low code environments that serve their markets well (things like zapier).
As pointed out here when they fall short rather than being hard, it goes to nearly impossible. As Theo points out here many applications follow an 80/20 rule. 80% of the app is really easy to put together, and takes about 20% of the time, probably less. What no code does is it takes that 80% that is already easy, makes it even easier ( pitches it as faster whether or not that is true ), and makes the last 20% of the project impossibly hard to create and maintain, so you just should have picked a tool that had the capability of doing the whole thing from the start anyways.

I’ve heard prime say just give it the one eyed fighting kirby so many times, and execute it few times, and there is no way to find it online, so this will be the link that I will come to, when I need to remember what @theprimeagen means when he says Give it the one eyed fighting kirby.
:s/\(.*\);/console.log(\1)
So what is this? # [1]
This is a vim substitute comand to replace text in the buffer. the one eyed fighting kirby is a regex capture group to capture everything between matches, and assign it a value to place back in after the match.
substitute in a nutshell, :s/<what you want to replace>/<what you want to replace with>
More examples # [2]
Here is a contrived example of text.
here there
from here go there
here = some_fuction(there)
Now for some reason I want to switch all of the words here and there. I can do that with three capture groups, \1 is here, \2 is everything between, \3 is there.
:%s/\(here\)\(.*\)\(there\)/\3\2\1
Just give it the one eyed fighting kirby
~Prime
still struggling # [3]
I thought this explaination from phind was good and more verbose than mine.

describe this vim substitute regex
:%s/(here)(.)(there)/\3\2\1

This is a pretty sweet interface into llms. I used it a bit with my son tonight while he was asking me for datapack ideas.
❯ mods -f 'I am trying to have fun on my minecraft server and am creating a minecraft datapack send me some load.mcfuncions that will make it fun'
You can continue the conversation with a -C
❯ mods -C -f 'I like where you are going with number 4, can you make it so that it runs when a player opens a door'
You can pass it some data
curl https://waylonwalker.com/thoughts-on-unit-tests/ | mods -f 'summarize this post'
