Agreed on SQL being the best exploratory interface for agents. I've been building Logchef[1], an open-source log viewer for ClickHouse, and found the same thing — when you give an LLM the table schema, it writes surprisingly good Click

Just want to say thanks for creating Vector. We use it heavily at Zerodha and wrote about our setup here: https://zerodha.tech/blog/logging-at-zerodha/ It replaced both Filebeat and Logstash for us with a single b

I've landed on a similar philosophy but with a slightly different approach to orchestration. Instead of managing everything interactively, I built a lightweight bash-based deployment system that uses rsync + docker compose across multi

I also quite like Localsend to quickly share files on the same network. Used to send photos/files to myself on Whatsapp/Telegram before but after discovering Localsend, stopped! https://localsend.org/

I've been working on LogChef ( https://logchef.app ) - a specialized log analytics UI for ClickHouse that focuses on powerful querying and exploration without the complexity of full observability platforms. The core idea is t

It's great to see Typst getting more visibility. We migrated a real-world workload to it a couple of years back: generating and e-mailing 1.5M+ PDFs daily at my org, Zerodha. Our previous pipeline was LaTeX-based (first pdflatex, then

So, Logchef has a concept of "Source" which represents a ClickHouse table. You give the DSN (essentially host/port/user/password for now) and connect. In prod scenarios, usually you only `GRANT SELECT ON db_name.tab

Never knew about `tab` shortcut, thanks for letting me know! BTW, as I was using it today, I was quite surprised to see `@` working now. Turns out in 0.27.5 they added this feature: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-

What I don’t like about Claude Code is why can’t they give command line flags for this stuff? It’s better documented and people don’t have to discover this the hard way. Similarly, I do miss an —add command line flag to manual specify the c

I'm curious to understand the implications of the AGPL-3.0 license in the context of this project. It sounds like the author doesn't want big corps to offer a hosted version of this tool (because doing that would require them to r

Looks like a solid project, will be interested in giving it a shot Aside: I built my own expense tracker [1] as well to categorise expenses using LLMs as I needed a quick way to log the entries. I’ve been meaning to export these to Actual b

Never really caught on with the idea of integrating external I/O in something as fundamental as logging. More often that not a pull vs push approach is suited for logging. There are dozens of high performant log collectors/aggrega

I've also made a similar tool: https://doggo.mrkaran.dev/ . Can be useful when you want to query with a custom nameserver.

Hey, I'm from Zerodha team. 1. Regarding the validation, this error seems to be related to the provenance check mechanism in the spec. This is to prove ownership of that project/domain. The wellKnown field is designed to handle ca

Yes, in India, the law mandates that ECNs (electronic contract notes) need to be digitally signed with a valid certifying authority. While it's true that XML/docx/xls files could also support digital signatures, but I think P

Typst has been pretty amazing, and at my organization, we’re very happy with it. We needed to generate over 1.5 million PDFs every night and experimented with various solutions—from Puppeteer for HTML to PDF conversions, to pdflatex and lua

Seems quite useful. Will definitely check it out. Minor nit: 10MB really isn’t that “small” for a CLI. I’d looked at your go.mod and seems like the most of dependency bloat might be coming from cobra or viper as it has in-tree plugins. You
