I've been trying out various mobile, ai-assisted coding workflows.

Packing a Linux mini-pc in my rucksack, connected to display glasses, and voice-to-text with handy. Voice to text gets injected into a remote (Docker) codex session, running a hot reload web stack. I prompt to implement various features in an existing code base, where codex understands the structure and requirements. If a feature is done, I take a moment to inspect the results on the display glasses, then move onto the next feature or keep iterating. It's not perfect, but I was able to implement a couple of not too complex features while walking my local national park. The display glasses have a built-in 4-microphone array, and solid speakers. No need for a bulky headset or earbuds. Glasses come with monochromatic dimming, you can easily switch between dimming and see through.

If this comes with Linux integration, I will certainly give it a try.

I'm also using this project. Easy to configure and operate.

I am feeling a slight unease using such a recent project for things as important as the database. But the polished interface combined with the easy docker deployment made me use it anyway. Restores need some permission tuning on PostgreSQL but otherwise happy.

They are very proud of their github star acquisition curve [0], the "blessing" by Anthropic [1]

But I have yet to verify the Anthropic claim.

I've been using the Xreal One Pro display glasses since July last year. No more physical monitor display for me. They do feel a bit warm when the ambient temperature is over 25 degrees but overall very happy.

It's interesting that cloud providers are unable to provide stable S3 as a service. Hetzner is unable to deliver stable object storage, but given the article neither are OVHCloud and UpCloud.

Is it success or is the author running a 20k ad program to get 10k MRR. Such a useless metric.

The Linux terminal app on Android reddits are full of reports of instability. It is far from being useful as far as I understand. I had so much hope for this being a good way to use my phone as a portal for development, but it's a dud. At least we have termux and proot.

I'm in the privileged position to advise clients to move away from hotmail/live if they want uninterrupted email delivery.

I think many saw this coming and it's probably a good thing. Personally I went with Kysely as a thinner abstraction with less risk of being acquired and turned into something that no longer aligns with my objectives. Still this is probably a nice boost to the major rewrite the Drizzle team is working on.

I use three clustered Garage nodes in a multi cloud setup. No complaints.

I'm waiting for my first DDoS attack at which point I will hide behind Cloudflare. I have all the bits in place to make that a smooth transition but would hate every aspect of it.

I sometimes question my business decision to have a multi-cloud, multi-region web presence where it is totally acceptable to be down with the big boys.

I believe the obsession with streaming is a major factor in the new constraints. Together with supporting the lowest common denominator, edge runtimes.

I'm using OpenFreeMap commercially, fantastic and stable service.

We're pretty much there. I ditched my monitors for the XReal One Pro. In Ultra Wide Mode (3840x1080 32:9) I can be productive for 1 or 2 hour sessions. Only bummer is some blurry spots in the lens, which I can see when looking through the glasses disconnected as well as when looking at rendered text. Support wasn't very helpful asking for proof with a photo or video recording even though it's near impossible to get a camera in front of the glasses and take a reasonable clear photo.

Besides the VPN route you can set a Private DNS Server eg: dns.adguard-dns.com

Thanks for sharing. I hope with Android 16 and Samsung implementing AVF for DeX these issues will be ironed out.

I thought AVF has hardware virtualization where proot is user-space.

It's a very interesting project, but I don't think I'm ready to let go of all my Android apps.
