I’ve been deploying my site old school for most of this year, rsync to a volume mounted to nginx. I ran into an issue today where I updated my site and all of the pages updated first, followed by upload. The issue this created was that the new cache busted css files were not up yet and the site had no styles for a brief period during upload.

I found that delaying updates and delaying deletes until the new content exists first solves this problem pretty well. Theres still possiblility of jank while uploading to a live directory and not doing some sort of hot swap, but I’m good with this low budget option for now.

sync:
	rsync -rlt --delete --omit-dir-times \
	--info=progress2 \
	--delay-updates \
	--delete-delay \
	./output/ \
	server:/mnt/mysite

dickover n. : a modal panel, popover, or curtain presented by a website or app, deliberately obscuring its own content to frustrate the user with an unwanted, unnecessary, mandatory interaction; e.g. asking the user to accept “cookies”, subscribe to a newsletter, install the website’s mobile app, agree to terms of service, or anything else that the user couldn’t give two shits about.

To ignore commands that start with a space character, use the HIST_IGNORE_SPACE option in bash or zsh.

setopt HIST_IGNORE_SPACE

I just learned that forgejo has a push to create repo feature and it is a gamechanger. Upon first try it didn’t work, with just a couple of environment variables I was up and running with push to create.

notify.wayl.one on  main is 📦 v0.1.62  v3.14.4  NO PYTHON VENV SET  USING SYSTEM NVIM
❯ git remote add origin https://git.waylonwalker.com/waylon/notify.wayl.one
notify.wayl.one on  main is 📦 v0.1.62  v3.14.4  NO PYTHON VENV SET  USING SYSTEM NVIM
❯ git push
remote: Push to create is not enabled for users.
fatal: unable to access 'https://git.waylonwalker.com/waylon/notify.wayl.one/': The requested URL returned error: 403

So I added the following environment variables.

Tried again, and it just worked!

nless is a seriously sick tui for exploring streaming data. It makes it seriously simple to pivot (U), drill in (Enter), sort (s). It leave breadcrumbs as you go and you can press q to back out.

Play with your kubernetes events. Ya, my homelab is far from perfect, dont judge.

kubectl get events -A -w | uvx --from nothing-less nless

markata-go now has web awesome integration for image compare. It renders a nice web component with a slider to compare two images.

It’s done with a class wrapper around the image components.

Without markata-go’s web awesome integration, the above would look like:

<script type="module">
  import 'https://ka-f.webawesome.com/[email protected]/components/comparison/comparison.js';

Today I found a way to test model syntax, cause the clankers always get the exact model name that copilot wants wrong.

copilot --model claude-sonnet-4.5 -p "Reply with OK" --allow-all --no-ask-user -s
copilot --model gpt-5.4 -p "Reply with OK" --allow-all --no-ask-user -s

An ai model created by Anthropic was announced as a closed preview on April 7, 2026 for critical security research and evaluation with its close partners with critical software such as operating systems and browsers. Anthropic claims that mythos is able to reason through so much more context that any model ever before. This enables it to find bugs that are 25 years old in the BSD, considered one of the most secure operating systems we have. Once it finds these zero day bugs never discovered before its able to use them together in malicious ways never expected. In ways the world is not ready for. At the time of writing these are claims without proof. It remains scary to know the potential this has and that there is only a few companies with this potential that will gatekeep who gets access.
