Notes from Sean

This weekend I decided to play around with agentic loops and the results have been :chefskiss:.

Last week was a busy week for cryptocurrencies.

TIL ${*@Q} helps with quoting/escaping hell.

uv is becoming really useful, but I noticed there is no apt repo/PPA of it.

While reviewing Hynek’s awesome “Production-ready Python Docker Containers with uv” article, I made some changes to the final container.

An important part of setting up an Elasticsearch cluster is to configure snapshots.

I had a piece of code that was deeply nested for loops, and I wanted to see what it could look like if it wasn’t deeply nested.

I often write little CLI programs in Python, where I just want to call it “script” rather than “script.py”.

Headscale CLI requires that you remove a node by id rather than name. jq to the rescue!

I spent quite a bit of time while I was learning Headscale being confused about users.

In the past I’ve run socat as a daemon to run a shell command and send the output to a socket.

Watching the discussion about ChatGPT reminds me of the early days of Google.

Looked at a few more static site generators, looking for a simple one, based on responses in a “Hacker News comment section on Hugo today”.

I’ve been playing around with a few simple static site generators, the simpler the better.

It’s a little tricky to connect android to Tailscale, but here’s how I do it using the Google Workspace authentication.

Headscale “users” can be authenticated using Google Workspace logins.

PGLoader can painlessly copy data from a SQLServer into PostgreSQL, including setting up the schemas and copying the data.

I created a schema and accidentally put “test” instead of “text” in a column type.

I had wanted a BLTouch 3D printer, I felt like the bed leveling would reduce the amount of fiddling per print.

Over the last few weeks, I built April Wilkerson’s Raised Garden Beds with self-watering system.

Ubuntu 20.04 includes the ability to install with ZFS for the root and boot partitions.

We have a bunch of machines behind haproxy load balancers.
