I’ve been using fresh rss for the last few months so far I’ve really enjoyed it. The mobile interface works great.

This looks really cool but how much does it cost?

I’ve been using Immich for about 4 months. My original goal was to migrate off of google photos. Immich is the best self hosted option. But google photos search is so much better. You can search for a location, date, item, landmark with natural language Immich takes a little finessing to get the result you’re looking for. It’s also not great for pet photos yet. I’m running both in parallel hoping some day Immich catches up with some of those features. I’ve donated for the license that funds some of the development. Even over the last four months I’ve seen some improvement. The mobile app needs some work for background syncing but it’s on the road map for early 2025.

Eagle.cool is a cool application! I can think of a lot of things you could track beyond image assets. I have a few friends that work in the prop industry and they have always talked about wanting a way to track props across productions.

https://vetted.ai - has been one of my favorites this year. It’s an AI shopping assistant. It’s especially useful searching for gifts for friends and family.

The wii news channel did this! It was a cool way to learn the control and interact with the news.

All output being an object is one of my favorite things about powershell. I miss it when I have to write a bash script.

In our software development we tag a git branch and code gets compiled and deployed and we would like to synchronize those systems.

The scripts might involve a change to how a user is added to the system and another might be a change for how a user is updated. The "update user" script cannot be deployed until the "add user" script is deployed.

If you're creating your own browser you are not going to start with CEF. You're going to take the Chromium source code and build from there.

I wonder if they are using this in Android Messenger or Gmail for the suggested responses.
