Do you have a use case to share some credentials with family etc.? How do you do that?

But why? Why not the standard oci-containers module?

I've seen the quadlet-nix project but don't get what additional it gets me.

I had shared the game with the wife when I first saw it here on HN. She told me just a couple of days ago that she is still playing it fairly regularly!

Was looking for an alternative myself but seems like there's no free tier? (Garnix had a rather generous one.)

I don't mind self hosting the workers (because my use cases are just in my homelab) but I need to contact you for that? Why isn't that just openly documented?

Token allocation/cost aside, how was the quality of the model? Any comparison with any other model you've used?

For example, I've heard DeepSeek v4 Pro is comparable to Sonnet 4.7, so I just bought some credits to try it out.

I have been self-hosting Vaultwarden for a few months and it has been great. But this news still worries me because Vaultwarden still relies on open-source Bitwarden clients and sounds like those could be on the chopping board anytime soon.

Separately, I don't know if there is a self-hostable password manager which allows easy family sharing. (KeepassXC won't work, I believe, because the whole vault is a single file.)

Tell me more, what's your setup.

I use uBlock Origin in Firefox and network ad blocker. Wondering what other options are there.

Rsync.net is really really good.

Just this weekend, my backup tool went rogue and exhausted quota on rsync.net (Some bad config by me on Borg.) Emailed them, they promptly added 100 GB storage for a day so that I could recover the situation. Plus, their product has been rock solid since a few years I've been using them.

Same.

Pi is refreshingly minimal in terms of system prompts, but still works really well and that makes me wonder whether other harnesses are overdoing. Look at OpenCode's prompts, for instance - long, mostly based on feels and IMO unnecessary. I would've liked to just overwrite OC's system prompts with Pi's (to get other features that Pi doesn't have) but that isn't possible today (without maintaining a custom fork)

Can you share the code? Specifically, curious how you did the browser integration. Did you use agent-browser? Something else?

Are there collaborative versions of these *claws today? Like, if an "admin" could self-host one on their home server and the whole family could use it? IIRC, OpenClaw has some version of "profiles" but does it allow, say, couple of family members to collaborate with the bot in a shared chat but each has individual/private chats as well.

I too was thinking about something like this a few months ago. There were couple of reasons I didn't pursue the idea. One, the image generation AI wasn't reliable enough. Like, I couldn't get it to generate 2 images where the characters looked consistent, let alone a book worth of images. Two, the margins were quite small, so didn't seem like a viable business.

Wondering if you've thought about such things and your perspective.

I am building a tool for synthetic monitoring for APIs. (Mimic users and generate continuous traffic against your APIs so that you catch problems before your users complain.)

There are some tools available today but setting them up is a lot of manual work. I am building an AI first tool that significantly simplifies the setup process (making AI do the heavy lifting) while creating high quality monitoring.

Early stages and collecting feedback from potential users. Reach out if something like this would solve some problems for you.

Glad I saw this comment.

The product sounds interesting but I am not gonna run this is in the cloud for my use cases.

nixos-anywhere to create, deploy-rs to deploy. sops-nix for secrets. Works great.
