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

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.

Switching configs in Neovim
How to maintain multiple Neovim configurations and switch between them
Michael Uloth · michaeluloth.com [1]
Switching between nvim configs can be really easy to do since they implemented the NVIM_APPNAME Environment Variable.
NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-lazyvim nvim
Now config will be loaded from ~/.config/nvim-lazyvim
Michael lays out some aliases in the full article.
alias v='nvim' # default Neovim config
alias vz='NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-lazyvim nvim' # LazyVim
alias vc='NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-nvchad nvim' # NvChad
alias vk='NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-kickstart nvim' # Kickstart
alias va='NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-astrovim nvim' # AstroVim
alias vl='NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-lunarvim nvim' # LunarVim

New-caps-for-porta-john
Today I dropped some new caps in the porta-john. I need to do a bunch of
posts on zmk and my journey building the porta-john, I’ve been rocking it for
at least two weeks now pretty solid and I am absolutely loving it. More on
that later.
KLP-Lame-Keycaps # [1]
The model of the caps are
KLP-Lame [2] by
braindefender [3] , they are super rounded and
smooth. They look really good on camera and feel good to the finders.
[4]
I printed these at home on my ender3 s1 pro with a black and purple silk
filliment. I printed all 42 at once using a Printing 42 keys at once [5] technique.
They do have just a bit of a rough texture that you can feel on your figertips.
I printed these on super quality .12mm layer height, while my last set was
printed on draft quality .32mm layer height. They look crazy different in
print quality with the lines of the new caps barely showing, the feel isn’t
nearly as drastic.
The Result # [6]
Check out the final shots as I set up the porta-john with these swee...

This is the coolest scrappy build, no printer or modeling required, no fancy tools, just straight chisel and claw hammer in soft pine. Im here for it, create the thing that you want to create.

Vim has a handy feature to format text with gq. You can use it in visual
mode, give it a motion, or if you give it gqq it will format the current line.
I use this quite often while writing in markdown, I do not use softwraps in vim,
so gqq quickly formats my current line into a paragraph. Once I have done
this for a single line one time I typically switch to the motion for around
paragraph gqap to format the whole paragraph and not just the current line.

A slug is the part of the url that comes after the domain. Commonly matches the file name of a markdown file many blogging systems. These are typically human readable, unique identifiers for pages within the site.
Wikilinks are a core concept within obsidian to link to documents by Slug wrapped in double square brackets. These are commonly used within wiki site generators.
[[slug]]
Obsidian gives you a keybinding alt+enter to go to that file, but if it does not exist it will create the file for you in the root of the project. It’s a nice way to quickly make new documents.
blogging in 2024
Over the past years couple of years blog traffic has been tanking, for some
time I thought it might have just been me, but then i heard it from Dave Rupert
on Shop Talk show, and it made sense. LLMs and AI is slowly killing the
internet as we know it.
My metrics # [1]
I dug into my emails from the google search console team and found two results
nearly one year apart. Impressions are only 60% of its value a year ago while
clicks are only 35% of where they were a year ago. I’m getting less
impressions and even less clicks.

Suspicions # [4]
What I think is happening is a large portion of users are getting their answers
from ChatGPT, Copilot, and llms like this. A lot of my posts have been filling
gaps in the internet, notes for myself when I struggle to integrate x in y
because there was a gap of how to do so in the docs and stack overflow. Some
small fraction of users have moved on to duck duck go and other non global
warming search engines with AI ...
Hotkey to open link under at the text cursor position while typing in edit mode
I find myself not wanting to leave the keyboard for navigation and think a keyboard-only shortcut that could open a link at the text cursor position is at would be really handy for this case.
Obsidian Forum · forum.obsidian.md [1]
Obsidian has a go to definition like feature, the keybind is alt+enter, I would have never guessed this one.

It was not obvious to me, but if you have a wikilink such as Trying Obsidian, you can jump to the file in obsidian, just like you can with lsp go to definition, the keybinding is alt + enter.

Very inspiring video Jason, these people faced adversity and crushed it. The market is so hard right now, its not easy to get a job, move around, and recover from a layoff. Everyone in this video just showed that you can make it in this industry right now, you just have to be willing to work harder than the rest. The bar is raising, a lot of great people are already putting in hard work to make it.
Community is Key, Theo mentioned that a lot of the companies he works with don’t even post openings, they go to their community first and are often filling spots through lower risk community hires.
