- Comment on Self-Hosting Survey 2026: What are your favorite self-hosted apps? 1 week ago:
Do you operate a webserver on them with software service(s)?
I would consider WRT management self hosting, personally. Pi-hole also, but you aren’t running paperless-ngx, pihole, or HomeAssistant on your lightbulb/Shelby switch.
- Comment on Part 3: They said a phone can’t run without a battery. Unfortunately, Pettyl didn’t get the memo. 1 week ago:
I just got a fairphone 6. Removable battery!
- Comment on We need a list of products we can buy without worrying about telemetry or advertising. 2 weeks ago:
Smart watch:
ZsWatch. They are developing the PPG sensor and I have used their PPG sensor hub driver for my own smart watch project. The guy heading it up is super knowledgable.
Healthy Pi Move this one seems interesting but maybe less open.
Also with GadgerBridge, you can have complete local control of many smart watches like Amazfit (Helio strap is my choice there for accuracy and whoop alternative. Bip3 is also very accurate) and a lot of Garmins and xiaomi.
- Comment on What are some of the cheapest LoRa communication devices available? 1 month ago:
Probably the SEEED Xiao devices.
With a 6€ ESP32C6 for thread support or wifi
Or 11€ nRF52840 for ultra low powrr and bluetooth
11-16€ is quite a hard price to beat.
- Comment on Open CAD Studio 1 month ago:
Claude directly has over 1100000 lines of direct code contribution. It has pretty much the same amount of code committed directly as the creator has.
His entire coding history before Claude consisted of changing readmes or searching and replacing project name text or modifying a dead link to his own link.
Suddenly in 4 months, without ever producing actual code before, he becomes a very competent coder enough to tackle mCAD, a notoriously difficult coding task that takes many many years with teams to make meaningful progress on?
That is vibe coding.
And his co-contributer “gianlucafiore” is exactly the same story. Has literally only made issues until LLM coding got released and then late 2025 (December) switched to making commits that he badly copied from an LLM such that some of the commits are literally one full line (as direct in-file working of the LLM wasn’t as accessible then)
That is vibe coding.
So the top 3 contributes are
- An LLM
- Someone that only has committed any code via an LLM
- Someone who has only made issues before beginning with an LLM.
There is likely no human-made code in the entire project besides changing a couple links.
- Comment on Advanced sodium-ion battery prototypes now approaching 200 Wh/kg 1 month ago:
Not limited to large capacity, but to low-density applications where size isn’t critical. Also anywhere that very cold weather is likely
So no wearables, phones, etc… But more stationary applications.
But solar mesh nodes (home or agricultural/industrial), off-grid pumps, power banks (camping style), home solar storage, lead acid car battery replacements, weather stations, electric toothbrushes, lights/lanterns, light tools like laser levels, etc… Things that traditionally used alkaline batteries (often recently switching to Lithium for recharging)
- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 2 months ago:
It is literally a cloudflare tunnel/ tailscale type thing but contained in the app. The only real difference is that it is bundled in the app, so less setup and in exchange, Plex itself is free to harvest all of your data.
- Comment on What are some unique Games to host server's of? 9 months ago:
V-rising
A sort of diablo-style game where you are the bad guy vampire. Very fun, but the damn server doesn’t pause time when it is empty, so I can only spin it up when I plan to play, not have it on all the time like valheim if my friends want to jump in without me and play
