I go further, how do you work in UI/frontend tasks? As a backend I know how to control agents in backend code, but in FE I am almost lost. Any hint isn’t appreciated

Be careful of storing production ssh keys in your laptop, it will find a way to find them :/

Not the case for me. I tried .envs, ansible-vault and sops, and it always ends up reading the unencrypted ones for some reason, usually in debugging sessions, it finds a way to read them.

I just create a MVP chatbot for a client that has a Django app. I took the route to no frameworks. Claude/codex wrote the agent loop, the tools, the streaming..it’s working well for the MVP, we’ll see

Good stuff, although I’m not quite sure about the fast OLAP use case.

If you’re already sharding by tenant for other reasons, OK… But I see CDC to a true OLAP system as more scalable.

PostgreSQL still needs real columnar tables in the core, hopefully one day

I wish more people take this approach, specially public services.

- a personal and private webpage for: health: garmin metrics, apple health metrics, blood tests, rx.. - a kind of readitlater and bookmark index - personal finance: wip - in my homelab only available within tailscale.

The final idea is to own all my data, but I’m still on it.

Pretty happy so far

I just checked,I have AdGuard for the whole network. On the TV, 80% of requests are blocked; across the entire network, around 50%. crazy.

Actually seems like a good idea. It's like when I use a 2012 laptop. I can't last more than 30 minutes on it. Probably a LAN proxy that throttles the network for some devices...

Oh, my beloved Python, for nearly 15 years I wrote you. I miss you, but I no longer do — it's not your fault, life has changed.

B: Yes..

It was easy to see coming, and it’ll spread further and to more services. In fact, recently they even forced old accounts to log in or they would delete them.

It’ll happen with social media accounts and other things too. The account creation date is going to become an even bigger heuristic in their spam models.

four prompts with opus 4.6 today is equivalent to 30 or 40 two months ago. infernal downgrade in my case.

The other day I was at a spa, they had a TV in the background showing a channel with relaxing images, but after 5 minutes ads started playing.I don't think the spa staff even knew about it. we're fucked
