Warranty Void If Regenerated

Warranty Void If Regenerated by Scott Werner (via Valentine): His shop was in a corrugated steel building on Highway 29, between a feed store and a Laundromat. It had a waiting area with four plastic chairs and a coffee machine that Tom had specified himself and which made coffee that was, by consensus of his clients, exactly adequate and no better. He’d tried to improve the spec three times. Each time, the regenerated firmware made the coffee subtly worse in a different way. He’d eventually concluded that coffee machine specs existed at the exact intersection of fluid dynamics, thermal manage

It's beginning to crumble — The first steps of my breadcrumb tool

I had a breakthrough while working on bjornstack that made me realize how I could make an MVP of breadcrumb, the tool I’ve wanted to build for ~18 months. So anyway, bjornstack is my opinionated take on how to write code, aimed at constraining and guiding genies to get their work done. And while working on it, like I have been whenever I’m working with genies, I got thoughts that I wanted to explore later, or ideas for other things I’m working on. I realized that since I started using beads capturing in this project has gotten easier, while chatting I just mention we need “a new bead about x b

How to manually restore a dolt db from its git remote

You can manually clone a dolt database from its git remote when bd bootstrap or bd init won’t cooperate. bd dolt stop: stop the server in the git repo you’re restoring so you can operate on its database cd ~/.beads/shared-server/dolt: go to the shared dolt server (it’s .beads/dolt/beads otherwise, I think) rm -rf : remove the DB if it exists already dolt clone git+ssh://git@github.com/user/repo.git : clone it to your prefix cd - && bd ready: see if you can see the listing I don’t know why my local just refused with bd bootstrap but this allowed me to fix it manually.

How to find which dolt databases need to be committed

dolt’s shared server won’t pull until all databases on the server have committed changes, not just the beads project you’re pulling. You’ll get Error 1105 (HY000): cannot merge with uncommitted changes and it’s confusing when the beads project you’re working in has autocommit on. The uncommitted changes are in a different project that’s also using the shared server. The fix is to go through your other projects and commit their changes (or enable autocommit by adding dolt.auto-commit: "on" to .beads/config.yml). To find which databases have uncommitted changes:

How to recover from a corrupted dolt journal

When dolt’s journal is corrupted, dolt fsck --revive-journal-with-data-loss will truncate it back to the last valid record. I found this error message when starting dolt up after upgrading the server: invalid journal record at offset 5831169: invalid journal record: CRC checksum does not match. To recover, go to your dolt DB: cd ~/.beads/shared-server/dolt/ \ && dolt fsck --revive-journal-with-data-loss It backs up the journal, truncates to the point it failed, and makes it possible to start the server again. In my case the db came back up with data loss. I did a bd dolt pull and it pulled in

beads 1.0.1 silently starts exporting issues.jsonl by default

beads 1.0.1 flipped the export.auto default to on, so old projects silently start exporting issues.jsonl after upgrade. To opt back out, run: bd config set export.auto false New projects get prompted during init, only existing projects will get this nice surprise. If you’re using dolt’s git export instead, commit the config change and delete the issues.jsonl file.

The IKEA Kajplats bulb wouldn't pair because my network had no IPv6

Matter over Thread requires IPv6 on your local network, so if you can’t pair the IKEA Kajplats bulb that might be why. I didn’t have IPv6 enabled, and my ISP doesn’t assign IPv6, so I used unique-local-ipv6.com to get a unique prefix. Configured it as static in my local network setup, alongside the IPv4 configuration, on my UniFi Dream Machine and then all my bulbs connected. Now my niece is learning to pronounce English colors as she cycles my apartment through every shade of the rainbow 😁
