I think what he's probably thinking of is more like using a virtualenv for python. Or bundler for ruby.

There are quite a few docker registries you can self-host. A lot of them also have a pull-through cache. Artifactory and Nexus are the two I've used for work. Harbor is also popular. I can't think of the name right now, but there

Tbh I haven't looked at Tigris at all. I still have my attic server deployed (just disabled/not in use) so I might give it a shot just to compare pricing. I do remember a decent portion of the cost being storage-related, so it&#

You can kind of get there with home assistant. I'm not sure if it can use tools yet, but you can expose stuff you'd ask about like the weather/etc.

You seem like you're familiar with vast. Have you used their autoscaler/serverless offering before? I haven't tried it yet, but it wasn't immediately obvious if I could have something like ollama running and scaled to

If you don't mind, what size models are you running and do you know around what you were paying? fly.io was the first provider I tried any gpu offerings at, I probably should give it another shot now that I've used a few others.

Hmm, having a machine for every process is part of it but I actually like that kind of isolation. Storage and bandwidth also add up fast. For example, I could get a digitalocean vm with 2gb ram, 1vcpu, 50gb storage, 2tb bandwidth for $12&#x

I have a decent sized homelab in my basement that I use for most stuff, and then a couple cheap-ish dedicated servers for public-facing things. Nothing has GPUs though, so I don't have a good solution for llm/ai projects yet. I us

What kind of issues did you have with streaming? I also set up ollama on fly.io, and had no issues getting streaming to work. For the LLM itself, I just used a custom startup script that downloaded the model once ollama was up. It's

I really liked playing around with fly gpus, but it's just too expensive for hobby-use. Same goes for the rest of fly.io honestly. The DX is great and I wish I could move all of my homelab stuff and public websites to it, but it'

This is what I do as well. I use acme.sh on one linux server to generate a cert with a few SANs on it, then copy that cert to things like opnsense/truenas/etc either using ssh or their api if there is one.

Did you move from cf to someone else, or are you still using them?

Very cool, any chance of either open-sourcing it or allowing the browser part to be self-hosted? i.e. to act on websites hosted in a local lan/vpn? Also, did you evaluate https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use

Plaid/Yodlee/SimpleFIN etc are slowly getting better about not having to store credentials or do scraping. It depends more on the bank. A lot of banks don't support things like oauth, but a few do support giving 3rd party ap

Is Simplifi basically just the new version of Mint? I hadn't seen it before you mentioned it

I think I have the opposite mindset. I prefer putting everything on credit cards because then I don't have to keep a receipt or remember exactly what I spent where if I go to multiple places in one day. Plus bills/online subscr

I know you haven't been using it for long, but are you (or your wife) liking this setup? I don't like having to pay for SimpleFIN, but I'm thinking about doing it too.

You can specify the interface address to listen on, like "127.0.0.1:8080:8080" or "192.168.1.100:8080:8080". I have a lot of containers exposed like this but bind specifically to a vpn ip on the host so that they don&#x

I haven't tried Hoarder yet, but Linkding has a linkding-injector extension that does this. It's pretty useful.

What are the alternatives for diagrams? Would an ascii diagram be better? I'm not sure if screen readers would ignore all of the random characters or not. I'm assuming just a text description would be better, but I don't kn

We have a few workflows at work that use the confluence api to publish pages with dynamic content. It's not super convenient, but was easy enough to set up. We're not using diagram-as-code though. Most of our diagrams are embedded

Do you know how excalidraw compares to draw.io? I've used draw.io in the past, but see excalidraw mentioned quite a bit too. I'm not good enough at using draw.io to be against switching for future projects.

Not just company time, but company resources and the company's github org. But yeah, I'd assume they have no ownership themselves unless they signed something explicit?

It seems like a really cool idea. Is this (or will it be) part of the oss version of chroma? And would it work with the embedded version of chroma? From the article, it looks like it might require more server-side components now vs chroma

Can you explain your n8n workflow a little bit if you don't mind? txtrepo looks interesting. I had thought about somehow combining Aider with n8n/nodered to automate a few small things, but haven't looked too much into it ye

Thanks! I don't remember the exact steps, but I remember it being a PITA to sign up for plaid. I managed to get a dev account before realizing you can't use most banks without going through a more thorough verification/appro

Do you have any experience with plaid to compare it to simplefin by any chance? I started a similar project with plaid before, but haven't really gone back to it since dev accounts became a lot more limited.
