This is a wild concept for a slicer, essentially he didn’t even make a slicer just a crazy pre-process and post prossess to cura slicer, deforming the part until it doesn’t have any overhangs, creating a normal planar slice, then undeforming the output from cura. He also mentions that the rapid moved needed modified as well. I’m assuming this is because they are generally long distances and not short, without breaking these long lines up we would still end up wtih a straight line after deform.
Intersting markdown presentation tool, Looks very simple. I really like split on --- much better than by h1 or h2. Their theme looks really nice in the screenshots.
How to make an entire clickable without presenting the entire content of the card as the link title. These videos are great, I’ve ran into these types of problems so many times, and definitely did not know about things like isolate to keep the z-index scoped to one element.
This is an absolute banger of a review by prime and Dylan Beetle. I love the similar takes with different perspectives, would really like to see them podcast together, but this one way style interview does really well to cover a lot of issues in open source, rug pulls, version pinning, thankless maintainers, what its like to open source from a large company.
Interesting takes on Diun here. I agree that I like to be in control of updates and pinning not to latest. both seemed like they weren’t going to run it because they can look up the latest version. Maybe I need to be less aggressive on keeping things up to date and its a me problem. I just got diun setup and hooked into ntfy, and I kinda like the automated checklist of new images that I can review and update.
To be a bit more clear, having control over changes coming in from others, even if I dont care to see the changelog, it is nice to roll out an update, have it in your git history, watch it deploy and work like before, if not roll back and read the changelog. For internal applications I’m down for automated releases like argo image updater give you, this thing has already gone through review, launch the damn thing at least to a dev space.
Davids blogs always have so many links that send me down new rabbit holes. Interesting that his experience with smart home is turning away, I’ve been somewhat interested for awhile, but never fully pulled the trigger on buying things.
I really hope tailscale enshitification does not take off, but really for me, I barely use it even as a homelabber. Idk why, but every other homelabber praises it so much and I just dont find myself using it.
xeiaso, has the coolest characters on her blog. Definitely something I’d like to replicate. I really appreciate how each one has its own sprite sheet, and they have conversations with each other.
I want to go build these now, these are suspension setups I had no idea you could do in trailmakers.
Today I’m upgrading my distrobox, but don’t want to end up in a situation where I can’t get anything done becauase I work out of my distrobox.
keeping this in my back pocket for now. I just moved a few TB’s of data in the homelab and I am expecting a lot of duplication to show up.
I’m really excited about fdupes, an amazing project by adrianlopezroche. It’s worth exploring!
FDUPES is a program for identifying or deleting duplicate files residing within specified directories.
Diun, looks like a very interesting tool to monitor for image updates, it does not make any change, it only makes notifications. This feels like an easy start to getting image updates started with low effort, keep git ops, but requires manual updates. I see this as a tool that would be a great start and pair well with automated image updaters to ensure they are working as expected.
Keel looks interesting, I might give it a try as a simple image updater. I’m unsure if it fits my gitops patterns though. I like to keep everything defined in git, I don’t like drift outside of that so Keel might not be the thing I want.
I’m setting up longhorn in my homelab, and I ran into an issue where I initially setup some pvcs under longhorn, and later realized that to get longhorn to snapshot and backup I needed to hand edit volumes after the fact or change storage class. I’m all in on gitops so option 1 was not an option. So changing storageclass it is.
Now the issue is that you CANNOT mutate storageclass on a provisioned pvc, it is an immutable attribute.
This migration job will create a new pvc with the new storageclass and move the data from the old pvc to the new pvc.

Damn he makes this easy. I did not know about hx-select. yes there is waste in requesting the entire thing every 5s, but damn that was easy to get life reload. I’ve only done very specific backend endpoints, built pages up from partials, made endpoints for partials. keeping this one in my back pocket.
I’m just kind of amazed that he could do this all in html without touching the backend or js, typically things like this require one or the other. Yes js is running, but no other js library I’m aware of lets you do this.

Using pbpaste for command substitution keeps sensitive or long URLs out of your shell history. Instead of typing git clone https://github.com/user/repo-with-long-name.git, copy the URL to clipboard and run git clone "$(pbpaste)". This prevents the URL from appearing in ~/.bash_history or ~/.zsh_history.
To get pbpaste working on both Xorg and Wayland, add this to your shell config:
if [[ $(command -v wl-copy) ]]; then alias pbcopy='wl-copy' pbpaste() { wl-paste; } elif [[ $(command -v xclip) ]]; then alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard' pbpaste() { xclip -selection clipboard -o; } fi
The function approach (instead of alias) enables command substitution, while the quotes around $(pbpaste) handle spaces and special characters safely.
Now you can use it.

nice dataset to use for example / test projects. I’m using it to play with duckdb currently.

Good report, make notes later
looking into trying these Mill-Max pins on a handwired 3d printed build to see if I can get away from specialty hot swap sockets. Damn they aren’t exactly cheap, I really want the nice short ones but they start at $20 per 60ct and you need two per key, that adds up quick.
jina reader is a pretty sweet tool to convert a site to ai compatible text. There are other web to markdown types of tools, but the convenience of just adding r.jina.ai to the front of any page makes it so easy to grab for one page of docs.
the racked up 4 framework mainboards sound wild. connected with usb4 and 5gig ethernet. they said they can run big models quantized down from 600Gb to within the 512GB limit they have. This seems wild to bring this level of capability to such a low price point. It will be really cool to start to see demos come out.

Trailmakers 2.0 Pioneers was released today as an update to trailmakers. It’s a brand new campaign mode that requires you to mine resources to get materials to craft your vehicles rather than salvage parts like you so in the Stranded Campaign. There also seems to be a more linear play through of the story with the frogitts, unlike stranded where it let you do anything completely open world, as long as you had the equipment to go there.
Out of the gate Wyatt came in with four frogitts to rescue, I don’t know how he found them all, I’ve only been able to find the first one that the master gives you to bring home as a tutorial.
After Wyatt left for bed I played a little more and beat the first of what felt like a boss level enemy, he had much different attacks. I did not think I would make it as I got hit hard from his first explosion attack before I realized what it did.

Watching Wes fiddle through this with what a sane person would write in a normal day application and not applying the tricks for this kind of battle is how I feel when trying to do leetcode.
On the road to Gap Master achievement I got all School Gaps in THPS1. This is a super fun level, I’ll have to admit that I had to look up at least a quarter of them, and could not find them myself, mostly due to the naming, all of the rail tricks were actually ledges and I was looking for big rails. None of the warehouse gaps were manuals so I had no idea that the downhill and accross the gym would be manual tricks.

This is one of the most memorable levels for me in THPS1 from when I had originally played it. Surprisingly there aren’t as many gaps in it as I thought there would be, there are definitely a lot that you can make up on your own. Anyways here’s my playthrough of all the mall gaps in THPS1 on my way to gap master.

This is such a cool idea, I tend to not use laptops at all because they are so uncomfortable I just wait till I’m back at my desk. This solves two main issues I have with laptops, the posture to use them is shit, the keyboards that come on them is not what I want to use. I’ve solved the latter with my own custom keyboard.

On the road to Gap Master achievement I got all Warehouse Gaps in THPS1. This is this classic warehouse level that everyone thinks of when THPS is mentioned. Such a good level, compact, easy to play, with some fun gaps that might take a few tries to hit.

I run tailwind for my personal blog, whenever I update it, pre-commit goes in and fixes end of file. I’m sick of these things fighting each other, since it is a generated app it is going to et ignored from pre-commit from now on.
