keyd works great for swapping ctrl and capslock for the builtin keyboard on laptops (without modifying hhkb layouts).

Adding more features for the binder/binding candidate cross-attention ui before figuring out how to host this thing. streamlit, pytorch models.

t460 had been up for 311 days, reboot hung on loading initramfs, rogue uuid. Arch iso and arch-chroot. Fixed.

Serving packages from local cache to all your arch machines with pacoloco. Watching cache hits is so satisfying! (why?)

This seems interesting - I don't understand any of it: NeuralOperatorJoins the PyTorch Ecosystem: Learning in Infinite Dimension with Neural Operators –

Fixed pacoloco cache config issue: docker iptables-based, heavy handedness blocked lxd nftable rules. Glm found the smoking gun, gemini polished the solution: systemd overrides.conf iptables -I DOCKER-USER -i/-o lxdbr0 ACCEPT rules. docker using legacy iptables bullying lxd.

mistral vibe has been using pkexec instead of sudo, seems like an improvement.

How do you research something if you're also the subject? 🤔

Enjoying the dgx spark, frequent updates, just there on the network ready to serve.

Fixed weird sddm race condition finally - wants x11 even if running wayland, sddm config tweaks, not having to run systemctl restart sddm.service after reboot is a small paper cut to avoid.

Haven't had an NVRM lock on GPU 2 since reverting the optimizations.

Using glm 4.6 to upgrade stale thinkpads on rolling distros was so much fun! Highlights: > Interactive script using fzf to remove unused pkgs. > Saving 120mb space on boot replacing kms w/ i915 module. > Setting up/migrating to mise > Learning workaround for too many ssh keys.

fascinating reflections on the tech you thought would be important. Upgrading a host that hasn't been used much for several years. It's humbling to remove the tools and tech the younger you was excited to learn next.

Decided to dust off the other thinkpad, t440p, bought new (other) to have a win machine, runs arch mostly now. Upgraded ram, processor, monitor back in the day.

Looks like mise is the current fav dev env management tool? couldn't get asdf to deno right, just switched.

Tuning up this T460 ThinkPad after using a C13 chromebook ThinkPad. Feels like coming home...

Had an nvrm locking issue that made my 2nd gpu (5070ti) disappear from smi and spin fans at full speed. System reboot and symptoms are gone...
