Working on a webapp for critically think with others about a problem. The idea is that you build a diagram that contains all the details about the problem and people's thoughts on it, and it's organized in such a way that it's easy to just keep refining , down to the smallest detail. So you build this concrete, shared understanding , and move it forward and forward, until hopefully y'all can make some best decision t…

I wanted something similar for a worldview. I want an app where I can dump all the things that actively go into shaping my worldview and then when someone wants to know why I think the way I do, I will share them the link of my worldview board. We are not famous people to have our memoir written but this is another way to peek into minds of strangers.

That's a cool idea. Seems like there would be a ton of things contained in an individual's worldview, that it'd be hard to build all of it up. Perhaps when you encounter something that makes you think of some core philosophy, you note it and the philosophy, and eventually there would be a loose picture that forms amongst all the relations.

Certainly would be helpful for trying to understand someone else. Not sure if this is totally appropriate, but it does seem like something that a chatbot would be good at combing through to find examples to suggest why one thinks a certain way about a new topic. You could even ask it about your own worldview!

I've been working on a tool called Materia[0] for managing Podman Quadlets on hosts, GitOps style and I think it's really starting to hit its stride. I just released a new version yesterday: https://github.com/stryan/materia/releases/tag/v0.3.0 . There's been a couple attempts in this space before but they usually seem to peter out after a while. I'm hoping to avoid that by staying flexible and focusing on just manag…

This is really cool! Does it take care of the 'deletion' of everything it creates if you remove config blocks/files etc.?

I’m still working on Simple Observability: https://simpleobservability.com I built it because I needed two things: - A super easy-to-install monitoring tool that doesn’t require bash scripts or config files - A mobile-friendly, UX-first interface where I can check everything from my phone It’s now pretty feature complete. I can see a full picture of all the servers and VPS I run straight from my phone. Setup is one c…

Very cool! However I couldn't get the agent running on an ARM based Oracle Linux Server 10 in OCI. I tried two different servers

I started a company to grow unlimited eggs from stem cells, based on the work from my recent PhD. This will solve nearly all female infertility and help prevent genetic disease. https://ovelle.bio

Do the same for chicken eggs

Are you making a joke, or is there some use for that? (I would think of all species on earth, chickens are the easiest to get eggs for once you exclude the insects, but lack of domain knowledge means I could easily be missing something)

I am building LookAway[1] - an antidote to seductive screens. Many people have been facing issues like eye strain, digital fatigue, CVS, posture issues, and more due to prolonged screen use and I aim to solve it with this product. I believe managing screen time is as important as managing sleep (if not more).
