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).

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.

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.

External Link uxplanet.org A nice set of blacks to use in web design. Subtle variants off of black or white like this can really make your design look nice and modern.

Wes Bos (@wesbos) on X Are you using position: absolute; to overlap elements? It's almost always better to Use CSS Grid instead!

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.

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 Obsidian has a go to definition like feature, the keybind is alt+enter, I would have never guessed this one.

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.

This is such a cool 3d printed cornhole game.

They use containerd to download your docker images into firecracker microvms to run your app. Firecracker is the same tech that runs aws lambda functions. Fascinating short post on the beans under the hood at fly.io and how they scale your app globally.

Reddit reddit.com This is a pretty sick design, touch screen macropad, trackball, ring, and knobs for days. I just want to play with it and see what I can make it do. As I’m typing I think I just realized that its modular, each rectangle is it’s own section!

Niklas Luhmann created the Zettelkasten method of notetaking, He was the Da Vinci of writing, holding a high standard that we can take inspiration from even today in this digital era. As many times as I have seem the Zettelkasten covered, I never knew that it roughly translated to little cards in a box. Four Principles # Mischa lays out four principles of Zettelkasten. Atomic - each card conains one idea Link - cards are linked together Structure - comes from the links Own Words - You write the note in your own words My blog, tils, and thoughts make up my own zettelkasten. I am not going to say that mine is a perfect representation of his method, but the components are here. rather than building books, my thoughts and tils build up to blog posts. The rate of blog posts I write definitely changes with the seasons of life, as seasons change it becomes a bigger or smaller part of the season. I really like Mischa’s most important note to Write in your own words, this is what really promotes learning, and proves to yourself that you can form a thought around the topic. Up until recently I’ve wrote everything, but lately I’ve taken to copy pasting some quotes into my thoughts posts, but…
