Working on Uncloud[1][2] — think Fly.io but self-hosted. A lightweight Docker clustering tool for running web apps on your own servers (from cloud VMs to bare metal) with no control plane to maintain. Perfect for teams who want cloud-like deployments without Kubernetes complexity. Early days but seeing promising results with eventually consistent state sync, zero-config mesh networking, and automatic HTTPS ingress. […

Why docker and not podman?

Honestly, I went with Docker simply because I'm much more familiar with it and its networking stack made integrating with WireGuard overlay straightforward. Podman support could come later but Docker's popularity and API stability made it the practical choice for the initial implementation.

How is it different than using coolify with API? https://coolify.io , An open-source & self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative.

As far as I know, Coolify is great for single-server PaaS or multi-servers that work independently. Uncloud focuses on distributed multi-server HA deployments (which is what is usually preferred for production). It allows you to spread workload replicas across different providers and locations while maintaining unified management. It's closer to Kubernetes and Docker Swarm in terms of providing building blocks to build your PaaS of choice. Unlike Coolify which requires a dedicated server to run the control plane Uncloud has no central component to manage. It's just a network of interconnected machines so there's no single point of failure and no central service that needs updates, backups, etc.

finished integrating our new FOSS ecu into our racecar, and started rewriting the data logging software for our team. Learning about can, wrote a dbc parser and frame interpreter for our higher level tools. Also integrated some existing components with the new ecu, our in car display now speaks can instead of serial, and soon another device will be pushing can packets to our analysis app. streaming can packets over lora and/or lte. analysis app is being un-jankified too. it's a phoenix tool for timeseries/laptime/etc dashboards.

Videos on programming: https://www.youtube.com/@carlosmenezes98 With English not being my native tongue, it gets difficult to speak some words at times and I have to reshoot each takes several times. But it's worth the effort and it's different to what I do in my main channel!

those videos are pretty well done. your language also sounds fine. subscribed using freetube

This is the first real feedback I got on those videos so thank you very much!

I started a football/soccer (mostly Premier League focused) podcast with a friend about two months ago. It's in Portuguese, but it gives us an hour each week to talk about our love for the game and sprinkle in some interesting statistics.

Alongside that, I've also been coaching kids (ages 4 to 11) at a local Benfica academy since September, and I've had a lot of fun helping them improve in many areas of the game. It's a truly enriching experience.

I live next to a school, so there's a low speed limit (30 km/h). Still, people drive like race drivers and the city hasn't ever responded to the residents' hopes of introducing a speed camera. I wanted to have some data on how many people speed, the max speed recorded, that sort of thing. Things the city should be doing after many complaints of dangerous driving and people being almost killed on zebra crossings. I ha…

I'm starting to think about a similar thing for noise. The noise of motor vehicles seems to be out of control and I am sure it is causing misery for the majority of the population who have to live near roads. I reckon a single loud motorcycle could disturb tens of thousands of people, potentially waking or startling them, raising blood pressure etc. in a single 10 minute trip. Unfortunately I think awareness of this…

I used to live in a neighborhood about a quarter mile from a highway, nearly perfectly flat land, speed limit I believe was 45 or 55.

Most days the road noise itself was no big deal, if the wind blew it was gone, if you listened for it you could hear a whooshing/droning in the distance.

But all it took was one loud motorcycle or old car/truck to really ruin your peace for a solid 3 to 5 minutes, being able to hear it on approach, and it went by, and exit. And it wasn't that rare to get them back to back, seeing as it's a 4 lane highway with a decent flow of traffic.

It wasn't really until then I realized how a single vehicle could cause so much annoyance for so many people.

A game: you're stuck on a 1970s spacecraft and you have to program your way home using 6502 assembly. I wanted to learn more about old 8 bit cpus so figured I would make a game out of it

Recently, I've been engaged in a project that focuses on the market demands of independent developers and small and medium - sized entrepreneurial teams. People involved in R & D often tend to be completely immersed in technology. As a result, the products they develop are left unattended and may not even be needed by anyone, which is really terrible. After all, everyone hopes that the things they develop can be in demand and receive positive feedback.

https://www.tabomagic.com I've been obsessed with making it easier to handle tab overload in the browser without requiring any sort of active "tab management". I have a working extension that replaces the "new tab" page with a clean view of all open tabs, along with simple ways to search and select which tab to switch to, including search over bookmarks and history. There are also some simple tools to allow for creat…

sounds very useful. unfortunately i am on firefox
