add helix · WaylonWalker/devtainer@71b9b29 🐳 (dotfiles) My personal development docker container base image - add helix · WaylonWalker/devtainer@71b9b29 GitHub · github.com Helix officially made it in my devtainer. I am installing the binary right out of the github release with wget and tar. I can’t use installer because their release format does not match what installer is looking for.: I also move the runtime over to /usr/local/share/helix/runtime.: I use /usr/local/bin rather than my home directory as it works better with distrobox.

GitHub · github.com Interesting take on refactoring the whole codebase from your editor. In this thread the-mikedavis suggests multicursor as a replacement for substitute, and later in the thread takes the side that larger workspace wide edits are outside the scope of helix and he would reach for a refactoring tool like fastmod to do the job.

Database Remote-Copy Tool For SQLite (draft) Neat new SQLite utilities often show up in branches of the SQLite repository. Here's a new one from last month: sqlite3-rsync, providing tools for efficiently creating and updating copies of … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net Simon shared a really cool new utility tool for sqlite ispired by rsync. It checks hashes of each sqlite page and syncs pages. So if nothing in the database has changed it will only require 0.5% the bandwidth as a copy would.
ticklemykeys (@XTicklemykeys) on X working on a new model. seams less visible hotswap more room for build X (formerly Twitter) · x.com porta-john design update, working on moving the seams to line up with an edge to eliminate long noticable seams. These seams are required because I don’t have a printer big enough to print this in one shot. hotswaps are going in. I’m getting really excited for hotswaps as they will make keebs more repairable, and users can self change out the switches if they want. I can also pre-build them ready to go, and drop in switches at the time of order. I did learn today that these are hyper specific to gateron, damn all these switch manufacturers and their special pinouts. Last thing I gotta make more room for wiring the microcontroller and running wires out to the rows and columns, my first prototype build took waay to long to build.
ticklemykeys (@XTicklemykeys) on X New cap of my own design X (formerly Twitter) · x.com This low profile design almost made it to 9. I think blending together the custom brim to make them all one piece really made the final difference here. The custom brim is two layers thick, only touching on the top layer making it very easy to peel off, but gives better adhesion to the bed, and does not loose one like this print did.
ticklemykeys (@XTicklemykeys) on X Full size MX caps, printing flawlessly with minimal cleanup required. X (formerly Twitter) · x.com really excited for how these caps of my own design are working out. Having the extra control is the first time I’ve been able to print more than one at a time without some hacky gcode. I’ve got a set of nine here that I have printed 4 times without a single failure.
MX keycap stem dimensions. I used these to create my new caps and all these dimensions worked great. The one dimension I had issues with was the outer diameter off the cap stem, not shown here. 5.3mm ended up being a good outer diameter for me. I print them at an angle and the bottom of the stem can get a bit of sag, pressing out on the outer wall of the switch and can actually stick the key.

add init hooks and exported bins · WaylonWalker/devtainer@2e4c6da 🐳 (dotfiles) My personal development docker container base image - add init hooks and exported bins · WaylonWalker/devtainer@2e4c6da GitHub · github.com Today I learned that you can use init_hooks to access host machine commands from inside a distrobox container. This is super handy for things that you cannot get to from inside the container and need ran outside (docker, podman, flatpak, xdg-open).
I’m really excited about manyfold, an amazing project by manyfold3d. It’s worth exploring! A self-hosted digital asset manager for 3d print files.
Taildrop · Tailscale Docs Send files between your personal devices on a Tailscale network. Tailscale · tailscale.com Tailscale comes with a feature called taildrop that lets you easily share files between machines on your tailnet. If you have tailscale on ios/android it shows up as a share target when you try to share something, and you can pick the machine to share with. What was not obvious to me was how to receive the file on linux. The linux tailscale service does not automatically receive the file, which can be kinda nice that you can put it where you want, but was not obvious to me at first. Use this command to receive files.
GitHub - triliu/Heawood42: Files for the Heawood42 ortholinear split keyboard Files for the Heawood42 ortholinear split keyboard - triliu/Heawood42 GitHub · github.com The Heawood42 is an interesting diodeless keyboard that is not direct wired. According to the repo this is the only keyboard to be diodeless and not direct wired. It does this through the use of a graph.
I came across Heawood42 from triliu, and it’s packed with great features and ideas. Files for the Heawood42 ortholinear split keyboard
This is a wild key cap that uses a lever to convert horizontal key presses to vertically press the switch down. The leveret v2 uses two of these on thumbs, one to press outward, and what appears to be one straight forward which feels like it would have to be a wrist motion, but who am I to judge without having it in person.

After first setting up a new k3s instance your kubeconfig file will be located in /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml.

You cans use it from here by setting $KUBECONFIG to that file.

export KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml

Or you can copy it to ~/.kube/config

cp /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml ~/.kube/config

If you have installed k3s on a remote server and need the config on your local machine then you will need to modify the server address to reflect the remote server.

scp user@<server-ip>:/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml ~/.kube/config

Warning

only do this if you don’t already have a ~/.kube/config file, otherwise copy it to a new file and set your $KUBECONFIG env variable to use it.

Now you will need to open that file and change the server address, making sure to keep the port number.

apiVersion: v1
clusters:
  - cluster:
      certificate-authority-data: ****
      server: https://<server-ip>:6443

Today I gave n8n a try using podman, their docs gave me docker commands, but it ran fine on my machine using podman.

podman volume create n8n_data
podman run -it --rm --name n8n -p 5678:5678 -v n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n
External Link printables.com Someone has created a knock off of the ltt screwdriver and made it printable, and it works really well. I have one printed with 6 different bitholders. I popped some labels on them in bambu studio as I printed to mark them for metric/inch and so on. I’ve had mine for about a year now, and I use it quite often. I used to be a dedicated screwdriver kind of guy, but as life has changed I’m not working out of a shop with tools at reach as much, I’m grabbing a couple of items and heading to a job in the house or a neighbors house. It’s not 30s to grab just the right dedicated screwdriver anymore. Also having some setup with hex and torx is a game changer. It’s also super handy that you can just pop the bits right into a drill or impact. Highly recommended print. Sorry for not buying the real deal Linux, I got kids to feed here. I owe you a t-shirt order or something.
