One of my favorite joys is going to the library in the Museum of fine arts and reading (usually with the help of Google Translate) really really old books. One of which was “La science des medailles” written between 1600-1700. It talks about the science of medals (which are much like coins!)

Seeing how people wrote back then and what they where thinking about (without the internet) always impresses me!

Here are some photos from it

At a career fair in an auditorium I was showing a sensor suite with OLED displaying current readings, one of which was the SCD41 CO2 sensor (they cost more than the esp32!)

I watched the sensor rise from 800 to 1700 PPM by the time the last group left the

It’s quite easy to build one and deploy with esphome and breadboard with stuff you can order on Amazon and have an LLM walk your through hardware and setup.

It is interesting where the rate of speech quickens as the co2 rises and the body starts to notice the co2, or maybe that was just the coffee.

I have been building a similar concept into my custom NixOS distribution, Keystone, where agents operate within their own user accounts with dedicated emails and SSH access. > It utilizes the Claude, Gemini, and Ollama CLIs. Because it is built directly into the OS, it seamlessly integrates with native notes and records calls. Furthermore, an AI agent can access Immich to deduce my context by analyzing image metadata and tagged faces. It features dedicated calendars for task scheduling and native PDF extraction capabilities. The entire system is declarative via NixOS, allowing it to provision itself almost entirely automatically.

I kinda suspected this was an early way to catch AI generated content. It ironically broke stalwart/himilaya somewhere along the lines when I had an ai generate a status report to email to me

I’ve been using it locally and with their hosted offering for awhile now and it’s rock solid other than if I make super deeply nested joins which overflow something. But other that that it’s super fast and cheap I haven’t had to need more than the free tier with a bunch of stuff I host on cloudflare workers

The real game changer after I went full nix OS on all my machines and using it on a a few Mac’s is indeed devshells which seemed so annoying to learn but really really are a game changer

I’ve been working an a meal planning application that so far can order all your groceries after planning a meal. There is a basic task graph now to estimate time to finish and takes into account different euqipment like a food processor or pressure cooker.

It’s at https://mezi.fyi would love any feedback there is a demo on the landing page

We’ve been having really good results with Copilot Agent. Sometimes we have to close a PR and refine the issue or pull down and work locally on cursor but it also jumpstarts a lot of stuff.

Seems like something that might be useful to store on Arweave a block chain for storage. Fees go to an endowment that’s has been calculated to far exceed the cost of growing storage

Lots of people mentioning ZFS, which can’t do hibernation correctly as sometimes ZFS will still do some writes after that ram has suspended. Which I feel like would complete the story of here’s my mobile device that is snapshoted and backed up regularly.

I wonder where bcachfs in regards to mobile snapshots and hibernation.

Pi-hole v6 1 year ago

Nice.

I wish pihole or adguard would add support for change DNS records based on the query subnet. I believe this is called DNS views.

That way my local devices and wireguard devices can get the correct IP for internal services.

I feel that, I went back to truenas for the simplicity.

This 5 disk pool started from the freebsd truenas, to Debian, to nixos, back to linux truenas.

And the disks where bumped from 2TB to 12Tb

We started having a few developers have constant VSCode timeouts. We switched to GitHub devcontainers which have been great.

The hardest think now is forgetting all the patterns we used on client side only say.

On successful form submet change the ui based on this error state.

Now because of server actions you would just redirect to a success page..

It’s actually way simpler. It harks back to full SSR like Django/Rails/Wordpress
