My pet theory is that the PRC is heavily subsidizing the hosted inferencing costs in order to capture valuable training data, token usage patterns and the occasional leak of valuable data. Given their past history and current geopolitics, I

I ended up prototyping self hosted https://woodpecker-ci.org/ on my k8s cluster. Ended up taking just a few hours of AI time (Claude Code). Woodpecker has a helm chart, can connect to Github and post status checks to commit

The challenge that I face is Calibre absolutely craters after 20,000+ ebooks. I understand that most folks probably have 10-300 books, but in my case I have some large libraries I tried to use with Calibre, and it just absolutely DIES. The

Congratulations on the launch! I have been a long time customer of the enterprise version of Streamdal, and I can confidently say Daniel and Ustin are absolutely KILLER engineers. Any time we spoke I always was impressed by their super deep

This looks amazing! Do you have a sample kubernetes deployment or helm chart we could use? I'd love to deploy the metrics collector on my k3s and have all my servers stream in data.
