oh wow, this is cool! I managed to reverse engineer a BS120 led display[1], we ended up hooking it into our hackerspace's[2] home assistant instance, displaying everything from static messages to when trams are departing. I enjoyed the

SourceHut is actually from Amsterdam, and has both unlisted and private repo visibility. It's also self hostable, but I'm on the $2 tier and damn is it good.

Well I've done everything you're saying, but I got stuck after that. I've tried claude code, I've been using OpenRouter, but after that it just seems like a million different options. Take tools, there's a million d

I have been using OpenRouter for a while now, and my Uni is self hosting Kimi K2.7 and Qwen 3.5, so I do know my way around chat completion. I've tried Claude Code with Kimi but it just felt confusing to use (probably cause I didn&#x27

I'm curious on your opinion, as a professor, how should universities (not individual professors) adapt to LLMs? As an undergrad, I hope schools move to educating students to use LLMs in a more responsible way. You can't put the

Maybe the best anti-scraper/LLM protection is going IPv6 only. I'd do that on my website, but I'm afraid some clients might not connect.

Oh yeah I've made some designs for a custom Eurorack style synth, but I quickly realized how expensive it would be to make a full rack. A synth scales exponentially, to get even some usefulness requires getting a lot of modules. Maybe

hell yeah, I have tailed my T-shirts before but nothing else, making my own sound like a nice challenge. How do you source materials? I'm usually very picky about the material, especially if it touches my skin, and usually the heavier

Oh wow that's getting really interesting, we have a bunch of old and new young apple trees on our field, it'd be really cool making tree mutants. Do you know any good first resources about this? I'd like to give it a try.

This sounds like a cool mix of genetics and gardening, I like that. Maybe I should ask some local non profits whether they need help with IT infra, because I don't exactly think "google drive and onedrive folders" is going to

What you're doing is interesting but those are side-projects. I have plenty of random side-projects, just now after reading Gibson's Burning Chrome, I'm making an OpenBSD server where you can only log in using SSH keys in my

No, but they are replacing bad ISPs. I have a relative in Brussels, while there is 10gig fiber on a nearby street, he's stuck on 100/10 coax, and to add insult to injury, Starlink is cheaper.

I don't know how to put it into words, but this aesthetic of computers just looks sooo good. Makes me want to try making my homelab/experimental hardware look like it. Any ideas how to source parts that look similar in low quantit

You can. GitHub is about to hit zero nines of uptime[0]. But feedback like that is far too late to be useful. Maybe (principal or senior) engineers should be the ones to judge, and be trusted by management that their foresight is worth push

I really like the idea of making your company's office a publicly accessible coworking space. It does fit Kagi's slogan of 'Humanize the web', imagine if you could go into Google and chat with Larry Page.
