I tried this fix on my secretlabs chair, but unfortunately it did nothing for me. Mine ended up being an issue in the tilt mechanism and not the hydraulic piston. I greased the crap out of it, it can only help the longevity. I did notice that the two washers on either side of my bearing were quite worn in.

This is definitely happening to my secretlabs chair. I did the fix this morning, its still not perfect, but it’s better now than it has been in a long time. Mine use to be so bad that it would pop and creak every time I sat down or moved the smallest bit. It’s now quiet through the mid range of its motion with the occasional pop when I sit down.
switching cloud providers, theres no easy way. K8s was supposed to get us there, haha, the deep integrations with each vendor just keep locking us in
Dang, love this guys branding. Hooks to get stuff offDaBench, what a freaking cool name.
This is a really amazing documentary of argocd. I got into k8s pretty late in the game. Which is pretty typical for me. As I went to use k8s for the first time i was using workflows, then cd. both of these tools had a level of polish that made them seem like they had been there forever and not quite as young as they actually are.
I thought it was interesting how they focused on how the name must be two syllables or less, start with a or b, logo needs to be cutesy funny and recognizable seemed interesting, but puts them at the top of lists and makes them look like they’ve been there forever.
I’m impressed by kubectl-debug-ide from devfile.
A kubectl plugin to debug Pods from an IDE rather than the CLI
bootc is the underlying technology that enables OS’s like bazzite, and Aurora from the uBlue ecosystem.
A new completion plugin that I might give a try. Readme makes it sound like its built on some fast teck that allows them to handle a lot of items and run more frequently. The videos look like they don’t have some of the same issues cmp does for me. Maybe its my configuration, but I’m pretty sure it does not update when you backspace and things like that.
These css anchors are crazy that you can do this with html and not a bunch of js, probably requiring a library or framework.
I’ve been playing with 3d printing some items through the slant3d api. I’ve been pricing out different prints by running a slice request through their api.
I’ve been using uv for project management. It’s been working well for quick projects like this while making it reproducible, I’m still all in on hatch for libraries.
mkdir slantproject cd slantproject uv init uv venv . ./.venv/bin/activate uv add httpx rich python-dotenv
Get an api key #
You will need an api key from the slant api, which currently requires a google account and a credit card to create.
# .env # replace with your api key from https://api-fe-two.vercel.app/ SLANT_API_KEY=sl-**
slicing an stl with teh slant api #
Then you can run the python script to price out your print. I’m not exactly sure how this compares to an order, especially when you add in different materials.
Staically makes creating OG images so easy, you can just pop this in your section with some og tags.
Check out terminal-tree by willmcgugan. It’s a well-crafted project with great potential.

I hit an interesting error after updating my nvim plugins today. I’m sti not even quite sure what a ShaDa file is, but I found min in my nvim state directory, unlike this issue that mentions it being in share.
The Error.
Error while reading ShaDa file:
The Fix
Hynek has a sick dockerfile setup for using uv in python projects.
SQLModel models ship with an is_, and is_not that you can use to compare to None without pesky linters complaining.
This comment summed it up quite well.
I believe this is concerned entirely with SQLAlchemy, not with SQLModel, and has to do with the required semantics to construct a BinaryExpression object. Hero.age == None evaluates to a BinaryExpression object which is eventually used to construct the SQL query that the SQLAlchemy engine issues to your DBMS. Hero.age is None evaluates to False immediately, and not a BinaryExpression, which short-circuits the query no matter the value of age in a row. From a cursory search, it does not seem that the is operator can be overridden in Python. This could help explain why the only possibility is by using the == operator, which can be overridden.
so rather than using Team.heros == None we can use Team.seros.is_(None) which checks for itentity not equality.
