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 …

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,…

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 so…

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 10…

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,…

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 vers…

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 c…

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…

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.

I didn't read any fickleness in the post. Sure, they tried multiple distros - who hasn't - and that too over ten years.

I've had a passing curiosity about Guix, so it was good to read this report. One thing I didn't find is Guix on servers. I am all-in on NixOS for both my daily driver desktop and c…

Maybe this is what's happening to me at Fidelity. They keep complaining about my email on custom domain but the Protonmail address works fine. I use different apps for the two beca…

For me, 2025 was the year of the Linux desktop. I wanted a replacement for an M1, something beefy to build side projects etc., so I custom built a PC and put NixOS on it. Still roc…

Nvidia Shield is a really good device.

I too care a lot about privacy and data sovereignty but those aren't sufficient arguments to self-host. For instance, my wife cares about the two too and so she uses most of the se…

ZFS is RAM hungry, plus doesn't like USB connections (like the article implied). So, I've been eyeing btrfs as a way to setup my NAS drives. Would I miss something in that setup?

What you are describing sounds more like backups (which is great) but not necessarily a declarative setup.

Coolify and friends (Dokploy?) look like nice tools. But I am not very comfortable with them because the state of my server(s) isn't present in code. So, I like NixOS or Ansible mo…

As for your second paragraph - I am more worried about the project being maintained by more or less a single person.

Amazon's search results have been garbage from a really long time, I often wonder how come the executives or the team behind it never experience that themselves. I now to Amazon on…
