Seems related, so I’ll share here. I wrote an “awesome” list of privacy-focused front-ends[1] for a variety of services. Haven’t been updated in a while, but I figured it’s still valid. [1]: https://sr.ht/~jamesponddotco&#x2

Any recommendation for a good thermal printer that works with macOS? This thread gave me a few ideas that I might hyper fixate on and then forget about in the span of a day or two.

Personally, I prefer DNSCrypt over DoH or DoT (and run my own DNSCrypt servers), but I see no problem with DoH. It's certainly an improvement over unencrypted DNS.

If I ever sell the house, I’m taking everything with me. Nothing I built is permanent to the house, so aside from having to paint over some 3M tape here or there, it should be fine. I’d never buy a “smart house” though. I have to set up eve

I have the complete opposite experience, as for me and my wife Home Assistant has been excellent. I mostly use Zigbee though, as it can’t phone home, and that may be related. Heck, I even set up the HomeKit bridge so my wife can use Siri or

If anyone is looking for something similar, but better priced, the Ulanzi TC001[1] with a custom firmware[2] is pretty nice. With the custom firmware, you can integrate it with Home Assistant and do all sorts of things with it. For example,

As a software engineer, probably JavaScript, as I focus on back-end and don’t have many front-end skills aside from a good hand at design. In general, though, since I believe I’ll lose my job to AI, I’d like to learn and become an electrici

The focus is cloud architecture diagramming, but you can use the design tools to diagram bare-metal architectures if you want or anything else, really. Heck, we had an internal game of chess going at some point and someone was rebuilding pi

I'm clearly biased since I work at Datadog[1], but I use and recommend Cloudcraft[2] for diagramming. As I don't use the cloud I focus more on the manual design tools, but the automatic stuff are pretty neat. Recently, though, I&#

I love diceware passwords, they’re the perfect way to keep things secure while allowing you to type them on a TV app, for example. Nice to use for the master password of your password manager too, since you can remember a very long one. I w

Hi, folks! I just released v1.0.0 of pkgdex, a simple self-hosted service that provides both a searchable index for your Go packages and vanity import path handling. It offers full-text search, vanity import path support, naive download sta

Yep, but I choose to focus on the meme since it makes me chuckle.

I don’t have an answer for everything you are looking for, but I wrote bonk[1] to solve a similar issue, as I needed to ensure users weren’t uploading porn[2]. Maybe you can find an use for it too. [1]: https://git.sr.ht/~ja

Interesting! I wrote a prompt for something similar[1], but I use Claude Sonnet for it. I wonder how a small model would handle it. Time to test, I guess. [1]: https://git.sr.ht/~jamesponddotco/llm-prompts/tree&#x2

Like many people, I built something similar, llmctx[1], but the chunking feature seems really interesting, I have to look into that for llmctx. One thing I have with llmctx that I think is missing in yek is a “Claude mode”, as it outputs th

Why would I care about serverless? I love managing and working with bare metal servers.

I usually encrypt with LUKS and then delete the headers (and then physically destroy the disk). Don’t remember where I read about it, but been doing that for a while.

At least when it comes to Go code, I'm pretty impressed by the results so far. It's also pretty good at following directions, which is a problem I have with open source models, and seems to use or handle Claude's XML output v

My Neovim color scheme doesn’t work on Terminal.app. That’s, literally, the only reason I chose iTerm.

My wife and I have personal emails but also one that’s shared between us and set up on devices for both, so we can keep track of things that should be shared, like credit card statements, bills, and whatnot. We use Migadu, which allows you

Personally, I have a TIDAL subscription, download everything I like from there, and then store everything on a Plex server. While not legal, having the subscription fix any moral problems I’d have with the idea.

I've been working since I was 12, and working from home since I was 19 (32 now). I can't imagine ever going back to an office, especially now that my wife is pregnant. I'd rather learn a new profession than doing that.

Wrote this for work the other day and thought people might be interested. The tool can review and draft technical documentation, as well as generate alt tags for images. It supports both OpenAI and Anthropic's models right now, but PRs

I've to write alt tags daily and I still suck at it, since I suck at describing things (which is weird, since I write documentation every day). I might start attending my friend's D&D sessions just to improve on that. For now,

Wrote something similar[1] using Go a while back, but I love that this one only uses shell tools. Extremely useful when working with LLMs for small to medium projects. For bigger ones on the other hand, I wish I could just get the exact con
