I'm a huge fan of AliasVault https://github.com/aliasvault/aliasvault - the author is responsive, receptive. The whole ecosystem is opensource. Bitwarden/Vaultwarden had a good run but if someone's going

Vaultwarden is a very lean implementation of Bitwarden but if you want to look into an alternative to the Bitwarden ecosystem, I recommend - AliasVault https://github.com/aliasvault/aliasvault - check it out!

It seems Anthropic has taken an aggressive stance on their buffet, flat rate plans being used in any tool not created by them, where they immediately ban such accounts. I believe they still allow API usage in this manner though. In this cas

IMHO PyInfra and Pulumi are complementary. You can substitute Pulumi for Terraform, PyInfra for Ansible and google for sample projects that use Terraform and Ansible to get a good idea of their strengths and how they come together. Then, yo

Hi Felipe! Just point your agent at https://docs.dbos.dev/python/prompting and give it a go - you can really play around with it as much as you want and solve real problems you care about than me lecturing you about it

This is a good exercise but IMHO, when you really start using a workflow for production usecases, you need a a proper, turing-complete programming language as a DSL. There used to be a project called Benthos (since acquired and rebranded by

Good points, but from a chemistry perspective, fast charging is detrimental to the battery. It would be more efficient to have two or three batteries standard charged to 70% that you can swap in as you go than have one that you need to repe
