This is a wild concept for a slicer, essentially he didn't even make a slicer just a crazy pre-process and post prossess to cura slicer, deforming the part until it doesn't have any overhangs, creating a normal planar slice, then undeforming the output from cura. He also mentions that the rapid moved needed modified as well. I'm assuming this is because they are generally long distances and not short, without breaking these long lines up we would still end up wtih a straight line after deform.

Build UIs that don't suck - YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h9rH539x1kHow to make an entire clickable without presenting the entire content of the card as the link title. These videos are great, I've ran into these types of problems so many times, and definitely did not know about things like isolate to keep the z-index scoped to one element.
- isolate - scope z-index inside this element so that it does not leak out.
- [.relative [.absolute, inset-0, z-10]] - the inset zero is a modern shorthand for zeroing all sides, top-0, right-0, bottom-0, left-0.

(201) Let's Talk Open Source - Prime Reacts - ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ0mBnJmd6IThis is an absolute banger of a review by prime and Dylan Beetle. I love the similar takes with different perspectives, would really like to see them podcast together, but this one way style interview does really well to cover a lot of issues in open source, rug pulls, version pinning, thankless maintainers, what its like to open source from a large company.

Self-Hosted 29: Perils of Self-Hosting
https://selfhosted.show/29?t=637Interesting takes on Diun here. I agree that I like to be in control of updates and pinning not to latest. both seemed like they weren't going to run it because they can look up the latest version. Maybe I need to be less aggressive on keeping things up to date and its a me problem. I just got diun setup and hooked into ntfy, and I kinda like the automated checklist of new images that I can review and update.
To be a bit more clear, having control over changes coming in from others, even if I dont care to see the changelog, it is nice to roll out an update, have it in your git history, watch it deploy and work like before, if not roll back and read the changelog. For internal applications I'm down for automated releases like argo image updater give you, this thing has already gone through review, launch the damn thing at least to a dev space.

Spring 2025: Self-Hosted Update – David Bushe ...
https://dbushell.com/2025/04/13/self-hosted-update-spring-2025/Davids blogs always have so many links that send me down new rabbit holes. Interesting that his experience with smart home is turning away, I've been somewhat interested for awhile, but never fully pulled the trigger on buying things.
I really hope tailscale enshitification does not take off, but really for me, I barely use it even as a homelabber. Idk why, but every other homelabber praises it so much and I just dont find myself using it.

Diun
https://crazymax.dev/diun/Diun, looks like a very interesting tool to monitor for image updates, it does not make any change, it only makes notifications. This feels like an easy start to getting image updates started with low effort, keep git ops, but requires manual updates. I see this as a tool that would be a great start and pair well with automated image updaters to ensure they are working as expected.
