T Handle Wire Puller #
Rules-8
Need a tool make a tool.
He had pulled this out while I had the soldering iron hot plucking away at a keeb build that I’ve had sitting idle on the workbench for a long time. The dream of having several identical working builds at the same time is very close to fruition, I just need some more work on the clone.
I was struggling to pull wires through traces of 3d prints. You see I was once a mechanical engineer, not electrical, so 3d modeling is my hammer that I can turn into a tool for any solution, and I’ve just not put the time into learning pcb design. Someday maybe. I always just take some scrap copper make a little look and twist it around until I can get it close enough to pull with some tweezers.

keyboard tester A keyboard tester that works for me, how I like it keys.waylonwalker.com [2]
The main feature is to be able to see when alt+key or shift+key is pressed, the keyboard tester was not able to do this.
Here is a video of me using it.
I tend to use keyboard tester a lot as I build a lot of weird keyboards so I suspect this one to get a lot of use and may grow over time, but for now it works good enough for me.
I can already think of a whole list of features like supporting keycodes for js, pygame, zmk, qmk. But for now I’m just building what I need and not overcomplicating it.

AUR packages are not always safe
The first thing I’m doing to stop myself from running any aur updates automatically is removing any arch helper.
sudo pacman -Rns yay paru paru-bin Currently the reported vulnerabilities are supply chain attacks limited to the aur, keep your arch system up do date, BUT do not update packages from the AUR right now. In fact I’m auditing my aur usage and removing anything I have not used in awhile.
Here is a nice script I’m using to walk through my packages and get rid of things I installed and probably don’t need anymore.
pacman -Qemq | fzf -m –preview ' echo " package " pacman -Qi {} 2>/dev/null echo echo " required by " pacman -Qi {} 2>/dev/null | grep "Required By" ' | xargs -r -o sudo pacman -Rns Supply chain attacks are getting real scary in 2026, maybe we should listen to Ginger Bil…

“Prompt, PR-ompt, promt, PROMT”
There is no such thing as magic
Asking for the prompt as a first question here, is a clear sign you are looking for magic. What are the magical incantations I must pass to all master clanker to get it to do the things that I want. Wrong, there is no magic prompt to get impressive results, its people that know and understand their craft that get amazing results. They have taste. They have design in mind, They see what the end product should be. They are guiding the model to do what they want and are not surprised when they get it.
