Absolutely love this selfhosted arc of pewdiepie that is going on right now. It’s crazy to witness now fast he is picking up linux / self hosting, and sounds like soon will be programming. In this one he built a $20k AI beast that crushes gippity with power, speed, proximity, and security. No one to take your data, no latency to the data center, no one else bogging down your prompts, just raw speed. It looks absolutely wild. He implemented RAG and gave it a bunch of data about himself and its able to spit out his wife’s name and phone number in under a second. It writes code at blazing pace. This may be the future that we get over the next few years as things shift towards AI there will be more affordable options, and a larger second hand market for building out these highly capable machines.

I’m so glad that python supports method chaining out of the box, very similar to the pipe operator that Jesse mentions here. It makes everything much more readable to follow the flow rather than needing to parse nested funcion calls out(inside()).

I greatly appreciated the wide variety of experienced maintainers of large oss projects. From webdev to desktop application. The most common sentiment here was don’t contribute to open source just to contribute to open source. Bring something meaningful to the project. Find a project you like, look at the discussions/issues for work or start some discussions. If there are no meaningful features that you can add to projects that you use and love, make your own thing. Adam from tailwind really hit on this one several times. He has made tailwind extensible so that you don’t have to contribute to tailwind to get new capabilities, you can probably just extend tailwind with your thing. Its likely that it makes a lot more sense or your use case, and if it turns out that it makes sense for everyone have the discussion about bringing it in. The upside to small oss projects is that you can move at whatever pace you want and break them all you want when the user base is just you. As you move your stuff into tailwind you have to be very careful not to break the massive tailwind user base and you have to bend to the release schedule of tailwind.

It’s so easy to forget low level tech sometimes. Things that are dead simple and just work without a hitch. git is one of those rock solid things thats very easy to remember all that it does, this is a classic use case.
This just works
cd /parent/directory/for/repo
git clone ssh://username@server/path/to/repo
In order to recieve you must update the remote to allow recieve.
git config receive.denyCurrentBranch updateInstead
Now you can pull update push.
It’s funny how this was the way I first learned to do Continuous Deployment to a RHEL7 machine, also how Heroku worked, but its so easy to forget this solution is there. I come across it every few years and immediately have a few use cases in mind.

Please don't give Reflect Orbital money: (Maurycy's blog)
maurycyz.com [1]
Well done write up about reflecting solar energy back to earth from low orbit space. I did not know this was a thing, apparently it is/isn’t. Solar is a great technology, its largest limitations are that its not consistent. This tech does not fix this problem, what does is efficient long term storage. I’ve seen some crazy ideas going back to my days in school, maybe elementry school. Theres a lot of innovative ways to store potential energy by moving heavy objects uphill whether fluid or solid. The issue is that energy storage at grid scale is HUGE and not efficient enough. Even assuming this idea had any legs at all, it still doesn’t solve the problem of inconsistent power because it still cant go through clouds!

Great justification for using the cloud. The infrastructure requirement for signal to be such a great app would be massive for a small team with low budget. The cloud is fantastic at unknown scaling, bursts beyond reasonable capacity to run yourself, getting compute everywhere in the world, and offloading huge infrastructure management costs.
DHH is 100% right that we have gone too far, too many things come out cloud first for services that can be ran locally cough such as your bed cough cough. One week ago when the world came to a hault, I did not bat an eye at these small teams with complex requirements going down with AWS.

Atuin desktop sounds dope AF, tried to install it off the AUR [1] and it was broken for me. Seems early and the dev team is all in on mac. They have an official .deb and .rpm. I’ll have to try again later, maybe the binary will work.
The idea of building out runbooks from my Atuin data sounds dope AF. It sounds like a mix of markdown and executable cells like a jupyter notebook, but not. Really pitching hard to those of us in the system administration, dev ops, SRE space. Having something that you walk through when a system goes down and you are feeling panicked in DR mode sounds relieving.

Cloud is cooked bois. Seriously too much dumb shit relies on the cloud. Too much critical shit relies on single AZ’s. If normies are literally loosing sleep over an AWS outage (queue the Uncle Roger Voice), You’ve Fucked up. It’s wild to even think about a bed relying on the cloud let alone fully stop working when UE-1 goes down. I want to live in a world of opt in FEATURES, things that bring value to a product because it makes it better. Somehow a bed smells suspiciously like a cash grab for a subscription because its cloud connected. And yet for some reason it takes 16GeeeBee’s per month. I don’t own one of these, and I don’t want to. I don’t want a subscription for everything, I want my shit to just work. The future we are headed towards a world that is ever more reliant on a few key clouds. Which is fine. It’s fantastic that small companies can start and scale without owning an infrastructure team. It’s great that they have the ability to give us many nines of reliability. Some things just don’t need the cloud.

The Year of the Linux Desktop is a meme, every year is the year of the Linux desktop as it gains rounding errors of market share. Outside of Linux nerds, developers that use servers on the regular, cheap asses reviving old hardware that is dead in the eyes of other OS’s, the average user wont even notice a difference with the right distro. I ran bazzite with plasma for over a year, It would be super beginner friendly while allowing users customization on levels never seen on non-Linux machines. Other than adobe, roblox, and EA games with easy anti-cheat most users probably aren’t going to run in to any issues. They probably wont even notice at this point, which is where the meme comes in. Why would anyone switch if its not noticeably different for the average user, they wont, until what is working for them stops working for them.
Litewind
Litewind is Tailwind without the build step
litewindcss.com [1]
This is a sick no-build version of tailwind. I have a couple of projects that the build step of tailwind is cumbersome on, mostly because they are for non-js devs. Some are for backend python devs, some are for folks that mostly want markdown with some styles. This is a perfect no-build tailwind alternative.

PEP 735 – Dependency Groups in pyproject.toml | peps.python.org
This PEP specifies a mechanism for storing package requirements in pyproject.toml files such that they are not included in any built distribution of the project.
Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) · peps.python.org [1]
PEP 735 describes dependency groups as sets of optional dependencies that are not shipped with the package but intended for development purposes.
The PEP includes an example for groups that include test, docs, typing, and a combo typing-test.
[dependency-groups]
test = ["pytest", "coverage"]
docs = ["sphinx", "sphinx-rtd-theme"]
typing = ["mypy", "types-requests"]
typing-test = [{include-group = "typing"}, {include-group = "test"}, "useful-types"]
This is implemented in uv and can be used by several of their commands.
uv sync --group test
uv run --group test
uv add --group test pytest
uv remove --group test pytest
uv export --group test

Litestreams interface always throws me for a loop. It works fantastic, but the global config stored in /etc and some of the commands break my brain. It’s not you it’s me.
Using real data when you can is goated. Fake data is so often a perfect example of what someone thinks the backend should look like and does not include things that users actually do, running pipelines for days, or setting titles to paragraphs worth of text. Obviously this is not possible everywhere and the more sensitive your data the harder that process becomes.

Interesting catch from the HN discussion over his article [2] that came out yestereday. I scanned it yesterday and it has some really fascinating diagrams showing different phases of the web being open, to being siloed, to somewhere that we are trying to make it easy to publish, and retain ownership. I don’t know enough about bluesky, but the core is build on the AT protocol, you can self host [3] your own instance, you can build different front ends for it. So rather than having siloed instagram, FB, twitter, there are clones of those platforms that read the same data from everyones data, that they have the option of self hosting.

You want to build a website you have a bunch of options from raw dogging assembly all the way up to predefined templates that just need your content. Idk if the analogy is perfect but there are aspects of it that work. I see where right now we are somewhere in raw dogging c or python.

Also different than MANY sports we have a huge industry of weekend warriors, Some of which make it into the night show of the biggest race on TV. You see we only bring 20 riders from each class, the top half to top quarter are “Factory” riders, the rest are privateers, sometimes these privateers are completely their on their own.
There is also something called a last chance qualifier. This is your last chance to get into the night show, often fought by these privateers out of box vans with their brother as a mechanic. Often that last spot is filled by sketchy on edge riding and takeout moves from a rider that looks like he is barely making it, but would run circles around anyone at your local race.

I first met Adam in college, he seemed like quite a character on the outside, but was always quite smart and often leaned towards realistic solutions to problems rather than over complicating things. He was part of the SAE Formula car, well known for taking a simple problem and trying to turn it into a real formula one carbon fiber solution. I remember a period where he was a fan of old world blacksmithing as they would say at the time. He even got a few very simple and light parts on the car that were easy to make unlike the carbon fiber alternatives. By the time I was there he was more of a leader and did not do a lot of design on any whole system, but would take out class projects for a component or help with some hard problems. This company feels like it is a great extension of who he was a that time, with about 15 years of professional experience tacked on.

This change maps those symbols so that they work as a combo or layer switch, so getting the layer key in first does it by layer, but pressing them at the same time gives me the combo, kinda feels genius. We will see how it goes.

I’m playing through peak right now with Wyatt and it is a great game, a small wholesome indiegame that is legit hard, but fun with the simplest concept. You are a scout who has crashlanded on an island, your goal is to get to the peak with your friends. You must manage hunger, stamina, weight, health and energy. You have limited resources and must help everyone to the top, if someone is low on stamina, they are going to need a helping hand or a stonger climber to go up and set pitons and ropes. Its a fantastic collaborative play game

a short clip of me playing with wyatt, I did not have anything great to add, but this is just a random clip
Ripped off # [2]
It was insta-ripped off by roblox with microtransactions pay to win garbage. It looks one for one the same damn models and interface, they spared nothing at making it look exactly like the original. They let you buy a golden apple assuming it gives you crazy stamina to climb with ease, and it costs goddam robux. As Big A says here theres nothing they can really do, the roblox platform just lets this happen, and if they didn’t they would loose huge revenue because this is so prevelant....

This was pushed out with a rushed security review, a coerced and unwilling engineering team, and in full opposition to our supposed company values.

This man feels sad, he never had a chance to bloom. He was stuck behind the drudgery of jira tickets. This is what the consultant driven agile has got us. Its ripped out all the thinking and creativity, its left us with moving tickets across the board, not allowed time to run on an idea when we have one. Not allowed to do extra work or refactoring in a module that we are already in. pushed to move faster for less.
I feel like this mans experience has been quite different from my own and I’m grateful to have some leeway to be creative and do some meaningful work outside the jira board. I’m grateful to be able to provide a good income for my family without taking on all the risk myself.
Reflection - AI Work and ADHD | Nic Payne
Reflection It's time to be more devoted to my work... AI has been a cool technology to
watch and experience but one thing I'm allowing it to do to me

Crazy that we wrote such similar posts on the same day independantly, I just wrote I'm Out On Agents [2] sitting offline in a doctor office. The two pull out’s are very good,
“AI is not magic, it’s a headache”.
By definition AI is magic to the vast majority of people, but funny how true this is.
“When I finish tasks, I’m not fulfilled… if anything I’m relieved.”
I just wrote something very similar, maybe this feeling can be used for guidance to when to use AI. When you complete this task will you feel relieved its over? Is it a chore? or creative work you want to accomplish.

Gave modd a try today, and I like it, its something I am going to consider slotting right into my justfiles [2]. Gave it a try and it seems to work really well out of the box and easy to configure.

Fighting some parens in hollow knight lead me to subtle little pauses when playing, I’m swapping combos to only work on the default layer, except for grave, I must have it for minecraft.
