The Litestream read replicas they announced, just for my Go SQLite driver.

They mostly work already, would appreciate testing from anyone who already has a larger, real-world Litestream v0.5.0 setup running.

I mentioned https://pageday.org last month, still keen to get it going as a slow burner.

Also been doing small little prototypes with cursor/claude for a game I'd love to tinker on more.

https://prototype-actions.prefire.app/

https://prototype-fov.prefire.app/

It's quite an interesting process to vibe code game stuff where I have a vague concept of how to achieve things but no experience/muscle memory with three.js & friends.

https://metriffic.com/about

  - What: Sun Grid Engine–style scheduler + Docker on System-on-Module (SoM) boards for reproducible tests/benchmarks and interactive SSH sessions (remote dev).  
  - Who: Robotics/embedded engineers comparing SoMs and tuning models/pipelines on target platforms.  
  - Why: Reproducible runs, easy board access, comparable reports.
Pulled this side project off the shelf — something I started after covid, when I was working at one of the consumer robotics companies (used to be the largest back then). Got it mostly working, but never actually released. I tend to dust it off and push it along a bit whenever I’m between jobs. Like now... Feels good to be back at it.

I'm currently building my own coding agent, VT Code. VT Code is a Rust-based terminal coding agent with semantic code intelligence via Tree-sitter (parsers for Rust, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Java) and ast-grep (structural pattern matching and refactoring).

It supports multiple LLM providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, OpenRouter, Z.AI, Moonshot AI, all with automatic failover, prompt caching, and token-efficient context management. Configuration occurs entirely through vtcode.toml, sourcing constants from vtcode-core/src/config/constants.rs and model IDs from docs/models.json to ensure reproducibility and avoid hardcoding.

Recently I've added Agent Client Protocol (ACP) integration. VT Code is now a fully compatible ACP agent, works with any ACP-clients: Zed (first-class support), Neovim, marimo notebook. [3]

Building Conflio – a personal AI newsletter tool.

I was tired of only having 1 or 2 things per newsletter that interested me, multiplied by however many newsletters I've subscribed to. Trying to solve that.

The idea: design newsletter sections on whatever topics you want (football scores, tech news, new restaurants in your area, etc.), choose your tone and length preferences, then get a fully cited digest delivered weekly to your inbox. Completely automated after initial setup (but you can refine it anytime).

Have the architecture sorted and a pretty good dev plan, but collecting interest before I invest a ton of time into it.

If you feel this pain too, waitlist is here: https://www.conflio.app/

(Or maybe I'm just too lazy about staying informed haha)

Continuing to work on a Low Power FM community radio station for the East San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. We have started promoting and putting on local events and are trying to fund raise to build out the station. Raising money is hard! We did a big show in Burbank where several hundred people showed up but we only netted $800 after expenses. :( We were featured on our local NPR syndicate which is neat: https://…

This is sick - I happen to run a site for DIY and community organizations like yours. We have proven the best way to fundraise is to throw events like you did but to upsell people on a recurring donation when they get the ticket. On the off chance you are throwing another event, I would love to help you raise much more than $800 one time (my site is https://withfriends.events/ )

How do you raise money for an event and also keep track of things for taxes?

Our waitlist is open for https://flatm8.co.uk - the platform for anonymous reviews of Landlords and Estate Agents in Britain and Ireland. We’re working directly with partner housing unions and charities in Britain and Ireland to build the first central database of rogue landlords and estate agents. Users can search an address and see if it’s marked as rogue/dangerous by the local union, as well as whether you can exp…

I tried launching something similar 15 years ago, admittedly as a noob to both tech and business. Here's hoping you succeed, it's sorely needed!

I’d love to know how it went for you and if there’s anything we can learn from your experiences - you’re right that it’s sorely needed! The statistics are getting worse and worse and worse… please feel free to email any thoughts or ideas based on your launch to team @ domain !

Nonoverse, a nonogram puzzle game: https://lab174.com/nonoverse

Slice and Share; framing, diptychs, also helps share photos on social media without cropping: https://apps.apple.com/app/slice-and-share/id6752774728

Both are free, no ads, no account required. I use them myself; I’m looking to improve them too so feedback is very welcome.

I'm working on Penteglot - a fork of Emacs's Eglot LSP client with multi-server support.

The main feature: you can run multiple language servers simultaneously for the same buffer.

One of the main reasons people stick with lsp-mode over Eglot has been the lack of multi-server support. Eglot is otherwise the most "emacsy" LSP client, so I'm working on filling that gap and I hope it could be merged into Emacs one day.

This is still WIP but I've been using it for a while for Python (basedpyright or pyrefly + ruff for linting) and TypeScript (ts-ls + eslint + tailwind language server).
