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.

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. Migration Job # This migration job will create a new pvc with the new storageclass and move the data from the old pvc to the new pvc. Existing Pods This migration job will not work if you have a pod using the old pvc. You will need to shutdown the pod and delete it. Apply the manifests and wait for the job to complete. Cleanup # I had chatgpt create me a script to help me find what is using the pvc so that it can be deleted. I had still had cronjob pods completed, so I had to delete them first.

backdated This represents the first sign in to this device. This will be my 3rd pixel 6 since 2021, One shattered screen and one blown battery. My first one was brand new, the first new phone i’ve had in years. That phone only proved to me that new flagship models make no difference to me, I had been running pixel 3 refurbished for many years before. No social media on this device # Social media sucks become a bunch of people yelling “fake news” at each other and propping up their political candidate as the savior of everything. Elon bought twitter and fractured it. The communities are no longer here, and I have to dig through so much political posts to see post on tech and engineering its not worth it anymore. update from a year later and It’s been great, I check socials like once a week hoping to find better things, but it all seems like the same BS. The Crypto bros have moved on to AI so hard that I just cant stand watching most of them yap about something that they have no understa…

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. Four Frogitts # 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. First Boss # 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. Here is where he was on the map. First Mega Drill # So this first mega drill was a mistak…

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.

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.

This post is still WIP. ….. https://indieweb.org/fragmention##Challenges I’ve been digging through David Bushell’s blog over the past day, he has some really good ideas about blogging and webdev. One really interesting post I came accross is url-fragment-text-directives. I’ve long had id’s linked on my headings, though sometimes broken, or now showing the link, I’ve done my best to include them. Fragmentions extend this to allow any text to be linkable like this. fragmentioner ui: https://github.com/kartikprabhu/fragmentioner/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file fragmentioner js: https://github.com/chapmanu/fragmentions Examples # https://resilientwebdesign.com/#This%20is%20a%20web%20book

Here’s the diff, this is it. The error # On first install of my dotfiles I’m presenting with this flashbang of an error filling the screen with red background. Its kinda hard to read, I’m not deep into lua and reading their tracebacks. It pops up in this pager that if I scroll too far it quits and the error is gone before I know what it is or how it got there. For the longest time it just felt like it randomly showed up without much warning. I sent ai at the issue # I tried some chatgpt and windsurf, both gave me overconfident answers that all did nothing. They just sent me in loops for way too long. I fixed it # What did it take?? Just sitting down and thinking about what the problem was and setting up a good test workflow. Yesterday I worked out testing nvim installs and I was immediately able to replicate the error over and over. Unlike before where it felt random, I now have a good problem statement that I can replicate. clean install start nvim Lazy pops up FLASHBANG!! Error that…

I connected my home network to have 4G bakcup with Google Fi and Netgear LM1200. Goodle Fi offers free data-only sim cards that you can order from their service. It takes a couple of days, and a new sim arrives in the mail free of charge. It does pull data from your account, so if you are not on an unlimited plan be careful of how much you let go through the sim. I’ve owned this for a few years now, but it’s been disconnected for a good six months or so. I’m not s[e what happened, but it stopped recognizing the old sim card. no need to point out the coffee stains at the end, its definitely not related Follow the provided instuctions # Activating the sim asked for a confirmation code shipped with the sim card, then brought me to this page. Clicking brought up instructions to set up the APN in the LM1200. Restart # First thing for me was that the sim was not recognized, restarting the LM1200 did the trick to recognize it as a Google Fi sim, and I started setting up by adding the APN as i…

This post is a big work in progress, expect it to keep getting better. Initial Score # 404 Not Found, generate a page for each tag # Title too long # 404 Not Found, comma separated tags # Another hit on 404’s caused by tags, was tag parsing from thoughts into posts, this cause links to the full comma separated list of tags rather than one per tag. You can see on the website the whole dang set of tags was being treated as a single tag. Broken images # I’m not fully sure what happened to all of these gifs in my old host and why they didn’t show up, but I moved them all and they are solid now. I burned all of my January Credits # So I had an issue with my self hosted shots not making them fast enough for ahrefs, and essentially ddosing myself on one of their runs. The long wait times for images burnt all of my credits. Here was the next successful run with a HUGE improvement in overall score. The trend for errors is looking quite good. md files were Missing # I had several links out to th…

Wyatt is also documenting his run, while we aren’t playing in the same world we are playing together. https://wyattbubbylee.com/dst-forever-world/ Loading into the world # I always select the character Woodie. He comes with an axe called Lucy she has some dark humor (but not too dark), I like her. She also does not wear out so you always have a weapon and way to chop wood with you. First encounter with a Tall Bird # On the first day I made a look around my home biome, and ran into a Tall Bird Tall Bird Stats # Setting up base # Just after the first night started I found my way back to the center of the map and made a stone campfire. I really like to use the stone campfires as they last forever, you just have to add wood. I was lucky enough to find stone by the Tall Bird to make this one on first day. Opening up the garden # On day two I had enough materials gathered to make the garden digamajig to prep the soil for gardening. I planted the few seeds that I stole from the birds right aw…

Today I was playing with markdown split panels. I want to be able to compare and constrast occasionually, today the inspiration hit to do this using admonitions. Mobile Users 🔄 You will need to rotate your device to see the side by side feature. The Markdown # This is what I am going for, one admonition that is easy to remember, that nests inside of itself, and I can put as much markdown on the inside that I want. Here is the result of that markdown. I Have two opinions Left Opinion supporting arguments lorem ipsum ipsum dolor lorem ipsum ipsum dolor Right Opinion supporting arguments lorem ipsum ipsum dolor lorem ipsum ipsum dolor Vsplit Hello World Here is a hello world application written in the typer cli framework for cli.

Today in my homelab I wanted to setup a new service that needed a MinIO access key. So I created a new user and a new access key with the MinIO CLI rather than poking through the ui like I have before. Global Level vs User Level # The MinIO CLI has two levels of access, global and user level. Most of the commands in this post will have several ways to do similar tasks that would potentially work. We are going to prefer to use the user level commands for more control. For some commands such as listing Keys it is handy to use the global level. The Policy # First we are going to make a new policy file named. Set the Minio Alias # Before we can create new access keys we will need to start by settin up an alias in minio that has admin rights to the minio server. Check to see if your alias exists. The Script # Now we are going to pick a SECRETKEY and a NEWUSERNAME, create the policy, create the user, attach the policy to the user and add the user to the alias. Attention This is the secret ke…

I realize that I never did a post on markata 0.8.0, so here it is. 0.8.0 was released on Jan 2, 2024, just over a year ago at this point. This was the release that we got pydantic support, and multi feeds. Pydantic Support Was kinda big # Markata is leaning on pydanttic for configuration and Post models. These models are filled with validators such that you can give it an empty markdown post and it will figure out some pretty sane default values for the frontmatter. From there you can progressivly enhance your post with more information like title, date, tags, slug, description. validators are awesome!! for instance I don’t set the description on many of my posts by hand, I let the auto_description grab the first bit of text from the post most of the time. Multi Feeds # Markata==0.8.1 brought multiple feeds into the mix, and started to take place of rss and sitemap. Feeds are a list of posts that are configured with a slug, filter, sort, reverse, description, and a template. These feed…

A side effect of Markata DidYouMean is that we are able to implement some rudimentary search based on slug, title, tags, and description. I made a video of the early work on using this side effect to search for content on markata.dev. This was first implemented to solve 404 pages giving users a way to try to find the page that they tried to access. But it turned out to be a decent way to search through the docs.
