I have a question if you don’t mind – do you also have to kill AWDL to prevent lag spikes during a streaming session?

I'm working on adding better Obsidian support to my personal SSG – Hajime [1], in an effort of making it a somewhat solid Obsidian Publish alternative.

The main point is adding relationships between the entries, as that's the bread and butter of Obsidian.

The cost of design, build and marketing do not triple the final price by themselves.

The kickstarter was successfully funded, yielding in over $3.3M. The device back then was $149 at 20% off, with $169 being the full price. That's still not $193.

Again, this is just my personal opinion, but even taking everything into account and factoring in a nice profit margin, being OVER $100 is very, very hard to justify.

I understand the rationale, but it looks like they decided to go the Sisyphean route on this.

ESP32-C5 ~$10

ESP32-P4 ~$5

Display ~$10

Case is maybe 90 cents (let's round to $1) if you print out of ABS.

The rest of the components? Let's say another $15 worst case.

~$41 or around that much? Sure, but definitely not ~$193.

Thanks! It took me some time to get to something I like, with the original idea being made 6 years ago: https://themes.bludit.com/theme/u

Thanks! You made me realize I completely forgot to mention memory in my post .

For running memory, hex maintains a 10 message full-length context window, with the rest being summarized when the threshold is being crossed (15 messages) by a separate LLM call and stored in vector storage (Qdrant). Aside from that, observational memories get constantly stored in Qdrant as well for convenient retrieval and embeddings are calculated locally via Qdrant's FastEmbed.

Preferences, facts and things like that are store in SQLite.

I spent a decade in support, slowly automating myself out of every role until the tools I built became more valuable than the tickets I closed (at least to me). Now I write Python, creating internal tooling, LLM integrations and automations.

Current projects: hex (https://0xff.nu/hex), an AI executive assistant that manages my calendar, tasks, and Obsidian vault because my ADHD brain certainly won't, and sixwhyo (https://6yo.dev), a code reviewer powered by a 6-year-old's logic.

I like simple and robust solutions over overly clever architecture, and am looking for a remote-first engineering role, not a support role with "engineer" in the title.

I’ve been looking at these for a while, hoping the custom firmwares for it will become more popular, as I was considering getting this for my six-year-old.

The disabled usb is certainly a bummer. I wonder how they disabled it though – is there a hardware difference?

Any time I see one of these posts about models of this size a quote comes to mind – "Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should".

Only a select few have the hardware required to run this to begin with, and even then the forecasted performance makes me wonder if it’s worth it at all.

Well, I don't mean this post specifically, but from personal experience one of such opinions (often taken out of context as well) is enough for them to make a baseless decision like that.

"Remote work is bad for ME" is what the title should've been, and that would've already made your point more palatable.

The logical leap from "I feel lonely" (which is absolutely valid) to "remote work is bad" is simply blunt overgeneralization.

Moreover, it comes as a disservice to posts like mine (https://0xff.nu/remote-work/) as employers see "lonely" -> "See?? remote work makes you lonely! So now everyone goes back to the office"

Otherwise – what have you done to address specific issues? What worked? What didn't work?

I finally was able to have some spare time and mental clarity to fix and update my task runner Boku (https://github.com/hxii/boku) based on plans that were pending from like October 2025, and I'm finally happy with the result.

Before that, I vibe coded peek – a CLI network monitor, just because I couldn't find a solution that did what I needed it to do (think Uptime Kuma, but less and in CLI). You can try it out from here: https://github.com/hxii/peek

Now:

1. I'm trying to learn some Swift and SwiftUI so that I can give life to a ADHD-inspired idea I had a year ago that will help me maintain the "one input" framework I created for myself in 2023 (https://0xff.nu/productivity/#the-possible-solution) 2. I'm trying to find a job in a hopefully normal company

Yeah I received a couple of those telling me that my CV "is making recruiters read you as broad full-stack read" and that they'll "be glad to talk through your resume and see whether I can help".

I'll need to figure out a filter for these.

I'm a creative problem-solver at heart. I love tinkering with new technologies and learning new things. A good example would be "Boku" which I've recently updated, a tool born out of personal necessity and curiosity – https://hxii.github.io/boku

I'd love to work in a remote-first company that gives the employees the freedom to explore and experiment and allows them to learn and grow together with it.

Curious to know why not use DAWN instead? And specifically because I'm still trying to find the optimal settings for my own setup with three APs.

I wrote about some of the automations, hacks and techniques I've built to help organize daily life with ADHD. I'm deliberately skipping the low-tech solutions (labels, notes, priority storage) to focus on automations, as I feel this area gets less attention in my experience.

I'm currently tweaking some others to make sure they're sound enough to share. For example, I've yet to find a good solution for our dishwasher. I often forget to put a tab in the dishwasher and actually turn it on after loading it. My current draft essentially relies on a door/window sensor and checking for how long it's been open, potentially indicating that my wife or I were loading it.

I am curious to know though - what less-than-conventional automations have you made for yourself?

At this point it's as if the team there went "fuck it, let's just watch it all burn down" or something.

With all the recent negativity – how are they not even TRYING to fix the damn thing?

Some of you have it, some of you wonder what it is.

I've decided to share a post, that I will keep updating on what ADHD is, for me. My hope is that this small gesture will help those of us with ADHD to open up about it and share, and for those of us who don't have ADHD to learn to accept the "quirks" this... thing, comes with.

And to that extent, to those of you who have ADHD – in what spectacular ways are you experiencing ADHD? How does it manifest for you?

This actually looks kinda cool! Not sure this would be something that I'd use (as I am really trying to not rely on too many plugins), but it makes me happy to see cool new ways of visualizing data in Obsidian.

I finally cleared a roadblock that was preventing me from writing more posts and sharing some of the photos that I take -- I patched Hajime -- https://sr.ht/~hxii/hajime/ with the functionality I was missing from it.

So now I can get back to the project that I was actually working on (but mostly deferring) for some time now -- boku -- https://sr.ht/~hxii/boku/ which allows someone to write a sequential series of tasks to perform without using code

So, in essence this is very, very similar to TWTXT (https://github.com/buckket/twtxt).

I'd imagine that similarly to TWTXT, this suffers from the same accessibility and barrier of entry issues. It's one thing when all you have to do is type text in a textbox and click "Submit", but it's a whole thing entirely when you have to screw around with updating your website to do anything.

This feels very similar to Karakeep, but on-device instead of self-hosting.

The screenshots on the website don’t include images, so I was under the impression they’re not supported until I re-read the post here – it might be beneficial to add some.

It's difficult, but try writing everything down, just to let it out at least. Don't expect a magic bullet here. At least for me, even though I'm medicated, the constant torrent of ideas, of thoughts, of context switching is exhausting.

I wrote about it briefly here: https://0xff.nu/adhd-productivity-fundamentals/

I honestly wish I could see the world, at least for one day, how neurotypical people see it.

https://0xff.nu – Has both my rants and my projects.

I remember complaining about this around five years ago [^1], and it looks like not much has changed since, save for the amount of people complaining about websites being full of garbage that serves no purpose or static resources being bigger than the should be.

- Inspiree by my wife to pursue my weaponized desire to create things and organize my thoughts, I’m trying to gather my marbles to learn Swift/SwiftUI in order to try building an iOS app that which will automate directing and funneling data to where it needs to go.

- Updating my personal SSG to support Obsidian fully, which should simplify the publishing process a bit more. https://0xff.nu/hajime/

- Trying to find a new job, which is proving to be more difficult than it should be if you have certain standards about work/life balance.

- Writing an informative article about automating with/for ADHD which explains the motivation and solutions that I came up with for perhaps the weirdest, yet most annoying issues I face or forget about on a daily basis.

I dread wasting my own personal time to commute to an office I really do not need or want. Yet it seems I'm left with no choice.
