Manufacturer Recertified Drives | Enterprise Grade Manufacturer Recertified enterprise drives work and look like new. Rebuilt by the manufacturer and quality tested to ensure they function as new, our recertified drives save on cost. Shop now! ServerPartDeals.com · serverpartdeals.com [1] For my next drive upgrade in my homelab [2] I am gong to be using one of these factory recertified drives from serverpartdeals.com. Found them on an LTT video awhile back. They are some lightly used and recertified, fully burnt in drives. Shop for drives that are certified once again by the manufacturer to work like new. Factory ReCertified drives are cost-effective alternatives compared to factory-sealed new counter parts. Additionally, unlike in mass production, the re-certification process involves closer attention to the overall operation of the hardware so that the re-certification will not have to happen a 2nd time Note This post is a thought [3].

GitHub - bootandy/dust: A more intuitive version of du in rust A more intuitive version of du in rust. Contribute to bootandy/dust development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub · github.com [1] dust is one of my favorite rust rewrite tools. Its so useful for narrowing down file system bloat and cleaning up some disk space on your nearly full disks.

Keycloak Keycloak - the open source identity and access management solution. Add single-sign-on and authentication to applications and secure services with minimum effort. Keycloak · keycloak.org [1] Keycloak looks like an interesting way to setup sso. It’s part of the cncf so it’s got a good backing. I want something better for argo workflows and this might be it.

- Don’t stop learning! Stop trying because you have a doomer outlook on ai, llms, industry and think they are taking over. If you have no hope for the future, if you stop now you are cementing in that you will be no good and the ai will be better. Many, maybe most of us in this industry go here by hard work, long nights of learning, trying to solve problems that our job had. If llms take over then the world is going to be a whole lot different, it will be a world you cannot predict or plan for. For now put your head down and succeed in the world we have today. TEEJ has some great thoughts on this whole sentiment, put this on for you morning walk or whatever you do. Note This post is a thought [1].

- I like the charts that Theo brings to to these videos. Shout out for a positive k8s reference and not shitting on it. [2] Htmx brings html [3]/css just a bit further down the complexity graph with little to no extra effort, while react allows us to go all the way full complexity at the cost of build and dev complexity to go from zero to 100 as soon as its introduced. [4] htmx brings us back to the ease of jquery ajax without any complex swapping or json parsing, all of the object parsing and html templating is done in the backend, the front end just tracks where to put it. HTMX couples the frontend and backend much tigher, since all of the front end html is generated in the backend, done correctly it is not possible for the front end to get out of sync and try to do things that the back end does not know how to handle, vice versa.

Why I Write Software Engineer at Bluesky specializing in developer productivity, AI-assisted development, and accessibility. Creator of The Balanced Engineer newsletter and co-host of the Overcommitted podcast. Brittany Ellich · brittanyellich.com [1] It’s interesting how many people in tech maintain a blog. I think part of this brings us back to web 1.0 days when so many individual websites owned the web it was a free for all unindexed land and you got to own a small piece of it. I agree with most of Brittany’s points here I write a lot to keep my skills sharp, and to refer back to. Brittany mentions keeping all her old posts, even the cringy ones. I’m all with you here, I’m just wodering how you look back at anything you wrote in the past and not get a bit of that feel, maybe its just me, but I see cringe and mistakes gallore, but it all makes me better moving forward.

Availability Software Engineer at Bluesky specializing in developer productivity, AI-assisted development, and accessibility. Creator of The Balanced Engineer newsletter and co-host of the Overcommitted podcast. Brittany Ellich · brittanyellich.com [1] nice overview of availability measurements and what they really mean. The crazy world we live in today depends on so many things runnig, its also so hard to measure your uptime, The uptime metrics can mean a lot of different things. The site is up and accepting traffic, but can users make changes or submit orders, there is a lot more to it than just up or down. I really appreciate Brittany’s story from Nike nested in there.

Bluesky is more like Twitter than X is joelhooks.com [1] Bluesky is almost excatly like twitter was when I joined years ago. It’s gone crazy lately bogged deep in politics, bots, and ads. I’ve seen like two scroll pages of ads in a row, its nuts. What I did not know before Joel pointed out here is that the feed I am looking at is my following feed, its only feed of people I follow in descending order. On bluesky you get to pick your feed!!! This feels like tweetdeck did back when we were able to run that. You could tune in search terms and save them it was glorious. Bluesky has some really interesting ones that you can use like popular with friends, only posts, my bangers, that have a pre defined algorithms. Note This post is a thought [2].

- This man is responsible for making gaming on linux what it is today. Such a heartfelt story to hear that reviving his dad’s machine was at the core of what drove him to do what he has done for the wider gaming on linux community. Update on your schedule, remove all the tracking and bloatware, this is what drove him to start using linux before making it accessible for his Dad. But really do update, this is not your 2002 PHP box, things need updated and regular updates help the process. Note This post is a thought [1].

Today I learned that the docs in postiz are a bit behind, (fantastic docs btw, they are to the point, and cover almost all of what you need). The docs state that you need to include an R2 bucket to handle uploads. This issue [1] shows that more work has been done, one of which is local storage. The compose file [2] they use in the quick start has the required env variables to set this up. STORAGE_PROVIDER: "local" UPLOAD_DIRECTORY: "/uploads" NEXT_PUBLIC_UPLOAD_DIRECTORY: "/uploads" looking into my running instance I can see my images there. ⬢ [devtainer] ❯ podman exec postiz ls /uploads/2025/01/09 811747b3f703f5d9a7f10aff5103412ff0.jpeg a221db10a76f0c414171ab417379b09ec.jpeg References: [1]: https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/issues/322 [2]: https://docs.postiz.com/installation/docker-compose

External Link devcommunity.x.com [1] Just tried using my twitter api key for the first time in quite awhile. Apps now need to be tied to projects in order to work. It looks like projects are where pricing comes into play. Thankfully they still give a free tier for doing small time things for myself. You can really see the effect that llms have on these things though as it is 5x more expensive to read posts than to make posts currently. Data is the new gold for these kind of companies.
