I wish an alternative to JS for the front end would catch on and be something more than obscure... I'd love to use something like clojurescript, but I struggle to imagine doing so for anything but a personal side project :/ Maybe

I've had some incredible product ideas while asleep, down to very intricate technical detail. The problem has been that when I wake up, reality kicks in, and I realise that, say, even if I built that incredible messenger app for dogs,

Really sad to see this. I had only recently learnt about this project, and was really impressed by it. I was planning to set it up this weekend (via autobase). I've also been under the impression that it's likely to be what powers

I wondered the same! FWIW I'm currently migrating from managed postgres to self-managed on hetzner with [autobase]( https://autobase.tech/ ). Though of course for high availability it requires more than one server.

I'm not the OP but I came here to voice the same concern. I would love to use something like this. I also signed up for rewind.ai and Limitless and pre-ordered the pendant. But ultimately I cancelled it out of privacy concerns. I won

This is what I do. Works great! And my caddy setup uses the DNS mode to provision TLS certs (using my domain provider's caddy plugin).

Thanks, that's a helpful example to put it into context!

Just what I'm looking for, but I'm reluctant to trust a third party with full time screen recording of my device... Any chance of local processing (or even custom LLM endpoints) in the future?

I'm having a hard time understanding how this is different from a bastion server, where you're tunneling through an intermediary server that you've deployed in the target network. I guess the difference is the fact that the i

Not the OP, but I've got a "Names to remember" evergreen note in my Reference folder. Within it, I have a few headings (e.g. neighbours, or locations), and a bullet point for each person, with context that will trigger the me

From what I remember, the key differentiating features were: - a heartbeat, so it was able to 'think'/work throughout the day, even if you weren't interacting with it - a clever and simple way to retain 'memory&#x27

Would this be any better than just pasting links to the appropriate documentation for the technology you want to use in your AGENTS.md file? I suppose it's better if it's a single giant text file so there are fewer agent iteration

This should work out of the box with Magic DNS (part of tailscale features). If machine A is named larrys-laptop and is running a service on :8080, then from sandras-laptop just navigate to http://larrys-laptop:8080 and it should

Home Assistant have a fully local voice assistant experience that's very pluggable and customisable. I believe it uses a fast whisper model for STT and piper for TTS. You can run it on a raspberry pi (or ideally an N100+), and for the

Great article! I think a paragraph on your backup strategy would make it even more complete and compelling, particularly given you put your passwords and photos in there.

You can self-host Pocket ID (or another OIDC auth service) on a tiny $1/mo box and use that as your identity provider for Tailscale. Here's a video explaining how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPUkAm7yDlU

I've been looking for a solution like this for years. I briefly had an iOS shortcut on my Apple Watch working, but an OS update broke it. Now I'm on Android and I don't even know what I'd use for it. And it's exactl

Don't storage templates handle this out of the box? I haven't actually checked my instance but that was my impression from reading the docs!

One minor tip that I think can have a big impact: whenever writing down something to run on the command line (e.g. for documentation or other kind of sharing), always use the --full-version of the flags (instead of the short -f version). Th

Well said! I share those two priorities, and am now moving in the inverse direction, but I plan to use GrapheneOS.

Any chance you’re selling the ePub format directly, or via the Kobo store? I switched from Kindle to Kobo a few months back, when Amazon decided to remove everyone’s ability to download the books they’ve purchased. But I’d love to read this

Isn’t conformance to a standard API arguably less necessary now that LLMs can read API docs and adapt? For me, the win is the expectation that sites _have_ an API, whether it conforms to the MCP spec or not.
