I‘m writing a visual travel guide for the edge of the humanly thinkable: https://www.unthinkable.net (I made a small newsletter sign-up form, feel free to join the wait list for betas and a free e-Book!)
Anyway, looks like a very interesting topic and I signed up for the newsletter :)
HomeFree https://homefree.host A turnkey self-hosted home router + app server that you can (eventually) just plug into your modem and go through a simple setup and have self hosting. It's in heavy development, so it requires some experience with NixOS to get running, but the goal is to have it usable by non-technical people. Current features - Firewall - Headscale VPN, apps private by default - Automated DDNS - Dozen…
I'm building a stock portfolio tracker, because I've found myself managing many portfolios with spreadsheets and Python scripts, which became a massive time sink. At the same time I couldn't find a tracker that was 100% what I wanted, while at the same time I wanted to learn web dev, web services & cloud deployment. I've decided to release an MVP so I can gauge interest, and after ~8 months of deployment and 2 releas…
I'm writing an easy to use APM platform in a single executable (plus the database). I tried self-hosting Sentry recently and found out there are a lot of moving parts, which makes sense for their scale and use case. I was wondering if I could build something small and not multi-tenant. So I started experimenting with writing a server (in Go) that collects OpenTelemetry data and inserts into Clickhouse, an API for ret…
A web app which we plan to be always free for personal use. It's called MyMirror 360 [1]. The goal is for you to get complete and honest feedback from the team you work with. The killer feature is we make it quick and easy. And your reflectors can never initiate the instance of giving of feedback, the system invites them; this avoids the "but I am angry now" situation. You can add the team members you work with in an…
Fostrom ( https://fostrom.io ) A developer-focused IoT Cloud Platform. The idea stems from pain points experienced while automating an indoor farm a few years ago where I had to spend way too much time building the data collection and analysis infrastructure instead of focusing on the actual automation. Devices connect via secure MQTT, HTTP, or WebSockets and send structured, typed data. Each device gets its own sequ…

Nest Thermostats of the 1st and 2nd generation will no longer be supported by Google starting in October. I'm working on an enclosure-compatible open-source version of the 2nd gen Nest thermostat. It reuses the enclosure, encoder ring, display, and mounts of the Nest but replaces the "thinking" part with an open-source PCB that can interact with Home Assistant
What microcontroller would you use?

I hate to rain on a cool personal project but you could just get a cheap z-wave dumb thermostat like a CT101 for $50 and hook it up to home assistant. Solves the problem permanently, no risk of future deprecations.

What exactly does "will no longer be supported" mean? Does it mean they'll stop working altogether? Will they just not provide support for them but they'll keep working until the day they won't? If it's the former, that's ridiculous and goes in the face of all the "good" they have been trying to do with the "leaf" program
We want to make you aware of some upcoming changes that will impact our earliest generation thermostats, including those at Your House. Starting October 25, 2025, Google will no longer provide support for the Nest Learning Thermostat (1st gen) launched in 2011 and Nest Learning Thermostat (2nd gen) launched in 2012.
You will still be able to access temperature, mode, schedules, and settings directly on the thermostat – and existing schedules should continue to work uninterrupted. However, these thermostats will no longer receive software or security updates, will not have any Nest app or Home app controls, and will end support for other connected features like Home/Away Assist.
