Can you send me a link once it's up? Or otherwise link to your GitHub profile so people can follow you.

yeah their billing system truly sucks. One month I was charged exorbitantly for Workers Container usage. There was absolutely zero way to monitor or track your usage until the invoice arrived.

What's your strategy for juggling all of these on only 16GB? Docker?

>I use a $5 VPS + $3 for 0.5gb of block storage to host shitty video game clips I want to share with my friend

What's the benefit of this over an unlisted YouTube video? I suppose there are many valid philosophical reasons to not want to use it.

Yeah i just tried self-hosting GitLab again and was surprised that I was getting OOM errors when I provisioned it with an 6GB memory limit. Turns out 8GB is like, the bare minimum. Crazy

> Deepseek 4 Pro

There's your problem, 4.1 Flash is significantly better and cheaper, to the point where the official DeepSeek API is going to (or already has, I forget) redirect requests for Pro to 4.1 Flash, and adjust billing accordingly too.

4 Pro is still offered by providers I'm sure, since it's open weight, so I can understand making that mistake.

They don't "always believe this", this will lead to your account being banned eventually, or at least barred from returning products.

Yes actually, but I don't think it's technically allowed/legal in the US in the eyes of the FCC, not sure about other countries. It utilizes 77GHz FMCW, I got one for free but they retail for about $100. The part number is R77ABH1

Edit: sorry, you said "using this technology" and I missed that - this doesn't uses the same tech

That's super handy, thanks! I've been using one of those selfie monitoring screens and opening the camera to record video + turning on the flash, this app seems like a better way of accomplishing this

Any instructions available for running this on an ESP32-S3 or P4 like the site says?

They mention that this specific model is able to run on an ESP32-S3, or an ESP32-P4 which has 32MB of PSRAM. I'm trying to figure out how to do this now.

Not necessarily, but could happen if the new Pro version is released and costs more to run

AltStore, Sideloadly, SideStore all have mechanisms for automating the weekly redeploys, to name a few.

I'm not aware of a DeepSeek plan, but I am using the DeepSeek API directly if that's what you mean.
