Just published the Halo vision headphones [1]. Currently working on reducing parts where possible, tuning audio quality and video stabilization.

#802Making rent as an open source developer.
Attracting new monthly sponsors and people willing to buy me the occasional pizza with my crappy HTML skills.

#803I'm reviving a project I last touched in 2006, in the hopes that it might be of use today in making social networking human again.
Back in the day, after the company I worked for bought the Electric Minds community and migrated it to its own CommunityWare system, and then the company that bought our company decided to shut the platform down, I reimplemented the community platform in Java and helped rescue the community. See: https://erbosoft.com/blog/2025/09/08/electric-minds/
EMinds eventually sputtered out because of the rise of platforms like Facebook. Well, now we see what came of that. So I think there's room for a platform like the one I used to have. See: https://erbosoft.com/blog/2025/11/03/what-we-once-had-and-co...
The new system is being written in Go. I'm porting the code over without using AI, though I have used Claude to translate the old crusty HTML pages into modern HTML with Tailwind CSS. Once it gets to the functionality I had back in 2006, I'll put it up...and then see about going beyond that, including how to make it distributed and provide more interoperability.

#804I was hitting Claude Code's rate limit pretty often while paying for their max subscription. Started thinking – I've got a decent GPU sitting at home doing nothing most of the day. So I'm building a distributed AI inference platform where you can run models on your own hardware and access it from anywhere privately. Keep your data on infrastructure you control, but also leverage a credit system to tap into more power…
Couldn't you do that with Ollama + Tailscale? Minus some of the fancy bells and whistles?

#805I'm building (yet another) 2d/3d parametric CAD tool. In-browser, collaborative, etc.

#806Garden Boxes
Specifically, torched pine Shou Sugi Ban boxes to house a garden at a much more convenient height for gardening, and eventually, my wintergarden experiments with high compost mixes to keep the garden from freezing in the winter.

#807I've been working on a ttrpg site for the last year with my own IP. The intent is to create an experience that makes an intuitive UI that minimizes tedious tasks.
You need to know "does this guy look hurt"? The enemy HP bar can be set to either an actual percentage, or set to have cracks in the bar to signify a range of damage. Does only person take notes? Personal notes are shareable and there's a section for community notes. Do you have enough perception to notice a hidden door? The UI can be set to go off passive perception and give you those notifications automatically.
It's still in early alpha testing with friends, but it should eliminate general GM pain points to encourage more groups to form.

#808I’m working on an AI-assisted reminders app using on device models for iOS.
Things like, “get xyz a birthday gift”, and it finds the contact and sets the reminder for a few weeks before the birthday.
The source data is calendar and contact info, but the nice thing about local models is that no data gets sent to providers, and the app can be cheap

#809I'm still drawing my comic about a post-scarity dystopia ruled by AIs who present as horrible, unctuous clowns: http://egypt.urnash.com/npol/

#810I've been trying to build a golf side hobby business making putters on antique machinery in my garage. Have grown to get some pretty steady traction on instagram, have realized I am not a businessman in all of this, so a lot of learning.
