I did not realize that David’s site was built on a homegrown Static Site Generator. As someone who also does this myself I appreciate the effort. I build my site on markata. It started as a project to learn a set of tools and has become a project that I depend on everywhere and cant put down. It’s a great tool, but you probably shouldn’t use it. Anyways, I feel this really shows on David’s site. His site is filled with custom features that make it very unique, one off, and always a pleasure to read.

I recently discovered posse_party by searlsco, and it’s truly impressive.

Niche companies will rise from the ashes. Companies that want to build good products for customers. Companies that will get hundreds of users. They will treat them right and make enough money to support themselves, maybe.

Alongside them we will self host. We will run our own services out of our basement. There will be downtime, but its ok. We will enjoy ourselves. We will tell everyone how much better it is BTW

Next to that is a firehose of shit piling back into the circular snakes mouth as all of your data flows freely between any company that can get their hands on it. These companies will spend and make money hand over fist. Most people will continue to use these services until enough is enough and unplug from everything.

In this world I don’t see how we sustain the amount of engineers we have created. Small companies run lean, small, and allow slow organic growth happen.

I’m impressed by awesome-nanobanana-pro from ZeroLu.

🚀 An awesome list of curated Nano Banana pro prompts and examples. Your go-to resource for mastering prompt engineering and exploring the creative potential of the Nano banana pro(Nano banana 2) AI image model.

These look like fun endpoints to add anti-maliciously, give good stuff for the sleezy things to read.

This feels very promising for the future as we enter a world that is more and more dependent on AI that inference is so cheap. I did not understand the scale to how much cheaper inference is compared to training. As we get better with training I imagine this gets significantly better as well. I know they all claim to be profitable on inference, but scrolling through Simon’s feed here you see several articles on the stark difference.

scams suck. This is a good story, sorry to hear that it happened to a real person. If you or anyone in your family has a compromised email, add these to your checklist to fix.

Nic is also building out a similar workspaces script. This feels like such a great thing to have ai work on fully customized tools for your personal workflow. Also Nice shout out!

Check out dawarich by Freika. It’s a well-crafted project with great potential.

Your favorite self-hostable alternative to Google Timeline (Google Location History)

This looks like great prototyping tool for k8s. I too often ask ai to get me going with the things I need. I’ve used k8s long enough that I can generally remember all the things I need, roughly where they go, would probably forget a few things and need to iterate, but I cannot remember exactly what goes where and need examples at a minimum. I need to give this a go from desktop and see if it will work for me. Right now looking through mobile looks promising.

chr15m has done a fantastic job with runprompt. Highly recommend taking a look.

Run LLM prompts from your shell

setting COLUMNS env var to a number greater than 0 will make the terminal resize to that number of columns.

COLUMNS=80 uvx --from rich-cli rich myscript.py

I discovered this when I was trying to make a low effort readme generated from the code, but did not depend on the size of terminal it was ran on.

I’m really excited about alloy-scenarios, an amazing project by grafana. It’s worth exploring!

A collection of working Alloy scenarios

The tea command for gitea (used by forgejo) has a flag for login. With gitea you can have multiple accounts logged in. When you try to run a command such as repo create it will prompt you which login to use, but I learned that you can bake it in to all of them with --login <login-name>

If you’re into interesting projects, don’t miss out on qmk_firmware, created by WaylonWalker.

Check out octelium by octelium. It’s a well-crafted project with great potential.

A next-gen FOSS self-hosted unified zero trust secure access platform that can operate as a remote access VPN, a ZTNA platform, API/AI/MCP gateway, a PaaS, an ngrok-alternative and a homelab infrastructure.

👏👏👏preach it prime! M$ continues to prove that they are not making products for you something else is affoot and shit you don’t want is shoved down your throat and forced on you.

Prime points out that the agentic is prompt injected itself😂. Rather than making a better os experience it’s assuming you are stupid and need everything done for you. But what I don’t get here in the text scaling example. Why the F does it not just fix it for me. When I ask the machine to make text bigger it puts a flashy circle where to click. This is a one time setup for someone who gives no fucks to remember how to do it. Why is the machine doing this weird hand holding watching us do it’s work rather than just doing it? I like the pattern when you change display setting it gives you a counter that reverts everything if for some reason shit is so bad you can’t even see it. Do that, not this help me click bs.

Now in parallel we have steam making Linux desktop better and better. Allowing you to just access the hardware you own to do what you want to do with it. Providing a fantastic hands off out of the box experience for the price of the hardware. No ongoing fees, no upgrade cycle,...

Justin makes the coolest kubernetes clusters wishing I could see it in the flesh at Kubecon.

Absolutely banger of a video, what a wild idea to send gippity a bit off course and just see how far off the rails it will go. Dude did a banger of an edit on it. I’ll admit that I listened to the whole thing, but did not watch much, saving here as I might go back when I have time to really watch it. It was really weird how easy it was for chat to say something that could be true, but nearly no chance of it actually happening over and over and just keep it going down this dark spiral of conspiracies. It was ready to electrocute him and separate him from anyone who had a chance of being a non believer. At any moment was ready to say that those closest to him might be his problem. gipity is not your friend, or your therapist.

I found an interesting side effect of manually running my script to generate [[ stars ]] posts is that you get notified when one gets renamed. Today I noticed that Ned Batchelder created a coveragepy org.

Today I learned how to use AliasChoices with pydantic settings to setup common aliases for the same field. I’m bad about remembering these things, and hate looking up the docs. I like things to be intuitive and just do the thing I want it to do. Especially when they get configured through something like yaml and do not have a direct lsp look up right from my editor. I figured out how to support what might be common aliases for a storage directory. These can be set up as environment variables and used by config.

No fancy orchestration. No distributed event streams. No cloud-native anyth…

Lean on your skills and your goals. If your goals are to have fun, use whatever you want. If you are looking for a job, Lean on tech that bridges the gap between your resume and the job you want. If you want to build a good product use the tech you are best at. No one in their right mind would throw away 20 years of tech progression because Zuck built facebook ftping php to a server.

The sentiment in this post is fine at best the picture feels triggering and oversimplies way too much. If you like kubernetes just fucking use kubernetes.
