GitHub - valkey-io/valkey: A flexible distributed key-value database that is optimized for caching and other realtime workloads. A flexible distributed key-value database that is optimized for caching and other realtime workloads. - valkey-io/valkey GitHub · github.com [1] valkey appears to be the largest open source fork of redis that was forked just before their transition to the new source available licenses. One notable thing missing from the readme is how to run with docker, which I saw in the valkey-py docs. docker run -p 6379:6379 -it valkey/valkey:latest You can install the python library with python -m venv .venv . ./.venv/bin/activate pip install "valkey[libvalkey]" Note This post is a thought [2].

valkey Python client for Valkey forked from redis-py PyPI · pypi.org [1] python bindings for valkey, forked from redis. one notable difference I see from redis is that you can install with libvalkey to autmatically get faster parsing support. For faster performance, install valkey with libvalkey support, this provides a compiled response parser, and for most cases requires zero code changes. By default, if libvalkey >= 2.3.2 is available, valkey-py will attempt to use it for response parsing. pip install "valkey[libvalkey]" Note This post is a thought [2].

Fragmentions - linking to any text kevinmarks.com [1] I can’t believe I’ve never see this Tim Berners-Lee quote, but I can’t unsee it and will be required to reference it from now on. eventually every URL ends up as a porn site I had a friend let his blog domain expire, within a short period it was scooped up and was hosting porn. I don’t know why, but my best guess is that they were holding it ransom with the most embarrassing content to have your personal site replaced with. Note This post is a thought [2].

I’m building in a [[ fragmentions ]] implementation into my blog, I wanted to add some text before the fragment to indidate that it was the highlighted fragment that someone may have intended to share with you. To get a newline in a :before I need to use \A and white-space: pre-line. body :target::before, body [fragmention]::before { content: "Highlighted Fragment:\A"; white-space: pre-line; @apply font-bold text-yellow-600; } Here is what it looks like on my not yet live implementation of fragmentions.

They are so ingrained into everything. It makes me think about markata.dev. I don’t require you to add any meta data to your post, you don’t need a title at all, but you do have to name a markdown file, and this does end up being your title if you don’t set one. Titles are a lot of pressure! I think there is a reason that the big text-based social networking sites (Mastodon, X, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, Bluesky, etc.) don’t have titles. Especially for short posts, the title just isn’t necessary. Just say the thing. Interesting observation what rss readers do without one. My own favorite[rss reader], Feedbin, shows the author of the post as the title if it’s missing. Eh, not great not horrible. Hilariously he puts a title on the OG [2] image for the post. I was interested in seeing what would happen in signal, it appears to be showing the author name as well. [3] Confirmed the pag...

- Damn prime makes an interesting point near then end of this video. He’s seen a bunch of people able to just throw down charts and shit at their company and end up being “the coding guy” cause they proompted something once. In a way I can relate, I got into software in a similar way, but at a time that it took a lot more hard work, understanding , and copy past from the right stack overflow. Based on some of the people around me at the time I can only imagine how some people must feel like they got pushed into it without wanting it, and now are building something they don’t know anything about with no care about it or care to build any expertise. Is the future proompted charts from enterprise chatgpt or do we only continue growing more need for software from here. [1] Note This post is a thought [2].

Testing fresh nvim installs can be a pain, and hard to di without borking your known good install. I’ve been using NVIM_APPNAME to run a test nvim in a sandbox that wont bork my main install. This usually runs for me in under a minute, can be down under 15s if I remove some of the TreeSitter installs at the end. This beats a full docker build of my full devtainer to test out nvim packaging woes. rm ~/.cache/wwtest -rf rm ~/.local/share/wwtest -rf rm ~/.config/wwtest -rf cp -r nvim/.config/nvim/ ~/.config/wwtest NVIM_APPNAME=wwtest nvim --headless "+Lazy sync" +qa NVIM_APPNAME=wwtest nvim --headless "+TSUpdateSync" "+sleep 5000m" +qa NVIM_APPNAME=wwtest nvim --headless "+MasonUpdate" +qa NVIM_APPNAME=wwtest nvim --headless "+TSInstallSync! c cpp go lua python rust tsx javascript typescript vimdoc vim bash yaml toml vue just" +qa NVIM_APPNAME=wwtest nvim --headless "+MasonInstall lua-language-server rustywind ruff ruff-lsp html-lsp typescript-language-server beautysh fixjson isort markdownlint stylua yamlfmt python-lsp-server" +qa NVIM_APPNAME=wwtest nvim I’ve started to use this as a just recipe to run before deploying a new version of my dotfiles.

When I want to put a date in a document like a blog post from vim I use !!date from insert mode. Note that entering !! from normal mode puts you in command mode with :.! filled out. This runs a shell command, i.e. date for this example. It outputs the following Fri Jan 31 08:46:11 PM CST 2025 You can also pass in a date such as tommorrow by pasdding in the -d date -d tomorrow. It outputs the following Sat Feb 1 08:53:20 PM CST 2025 codeium just taught me this one with autocomplete :put =strftime('%Y-%m-%d') This outputs the following 2025-01-31 What I like about the :put =strftime( method is that you can add a format, but that is a lot more for me to remember than !!date A few weeks later # [1] I’m going through a bunch of blog posts and dont want my date formats to change to the Wed Feb format so I broke down and made these keybindings. I think I’m still going to be using .!date a lot, but these keybindings will be nice for editing blog post frontmatter. set("n", "<leader>dd", "<cmd>put =strftime('%Y-%m-%d')<cr>", { noremap = true, silent = true }) set("n", "<leader>dt", "<cmd>put =strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')<cr>", { noremap = true, silent = true }) - dd 2025-02-...
