#373I made myself a silly ai-chungus it works as a series of containers that communicate over mqtt. I have an ollama shim for other services to talk to a model on my other machine, telegram shim that acts as a ui, a study component that will give me a random subject for me to study over the course of a week and I give a proper implementation (let’s say a ring buffer) and it reviews the code I wrote.

#374I made MooBlock - a browser extension for digital self-regulation. Basically, it adds a small timeout before you can access a distracting site. This timeout grows the more you visit these sites, and decays when you stay away.

The idea is to make distracting sites less appealing, without using a black-and-white site blocker, which you can easily disable.

Nice. I'm curious about Reddit scraping. Did you have to do anything special for that?
Also curious if you know anything about scraping Twitter.

#380It's dumb, but.... I made a scraper that searches through all the news and finds anything 'war' related. It then summarizes it and give me that new in the Star Wars crawl with music.
If you upload those to YouTube, you might find yourself an audience.
