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.

GitHub - urob/zmk-config: Personal ZMK firmware configuration for various boards (34-keys, Glove80, Planck) Personal ZMK firmware configuration for various boards (34-keys, Glove80, Planck) - urob/zmk-config GitHub · github.com This is a very well thought out zmk config featuring many macros, numword, and timeless homerow mods. The build system to build locally looks on point, I really need to give that a try!
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.

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
