[0] seems to suggest even paid plans are effectively limited to 500 web pages per day, right?

    Crawl jobs per day 5 per day
    Maximum pages per crawl 100 pages

Other than passwords though, I also have stuff installed at home on a Synology NAS, a mail server, a VPS running some websites (my own, family, my wife's), Home Assistant, Family photos with backups etc etc.

I wonder who would not only have the passwords, but the know-how to manage the whole thing, at least to transition it to more managed services...

gingerlime — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 21:27:24 +0000

Exactly. Whilst I can see the problem with vibe-coded "contribution" that lower the signal/noise ratio on big OSS project, it's also "liberating" in the sense that forking becomes much more viable now. If previously it took time to dive into a project to tweak it to your needs, it's now trivial.

So in many senses AI is democratising open-source.

I don’t follow nor use pi so no horse in this race, but I think the results were never submitted to terminal bench? not sure how the process works exactly but it’s entirely missing from the benchmark. is this a sign of weakness? I honestly don’t know.

From what I was reading immich should preserve your original media. I saw this bug report[0] but it’s not clear if it’s an app upload bug, iOS bug or maybe depends on the device??

I don’t use immich (yet) but this is the kind of stuff I worry about. I’m planning to use it in read only mode though and sync my photos using PhotoSync rather than rely on the app.

do you mean it loses the original fps rate, or just that you can’t easily view it?

any pointers on how it works with immich on the NAS and your desktop “contributing” processing power?

Great post. Explains the concepts just enough that they click without going too deep, shows practical implementation examples, how it fits together. Simple, clear and ultimately useful. (to me at least)

no unsubscribe button in this MS Copilot campaign. And they’re trying to gaslight like it’s some essential notification when it’s clearly and blatantly unnecessary marketing spam.

Same. Posted a comment about it [0]. I already filed a GDPR and ePrivacy compliants. Happy to share notes. Contact details in my profile.

I’ve had a similar experience when signing up for Office365 and started getting promotional emails to CoPilot. These (2) emails were without an unsubscribe option.

I contacted MS support and after some back n forth they claimed it was a transactional email that doesn’t require consent or opt out.

Clearly promotional and not necessary but they won’t listen.

I’m in the process of filing GDPR + ePrivacy complaints, but it’s a tedious process, unlikely to do anything.

New comment by gingerlime in "Show HN: Yolobox – Run AI coding agents with full sudo without nuking home dir"

gingerlime — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 13:38:58 +0000

Thanks. Yes.

Connecting via an open port between containers isn't a problem though. They all see each other by name anyway (e.g. I can run a pg client to `db` and it will JustWork). The problem is when the coding agent needs to run commands inside the container, or restart the container, inspect logs etc.

If the agent is outside the container, it can run docker (compose) commands and do all that, and it works great. If the agent however is inside the container, it can't. Without mapping the socket that is.

Not sure I understand what you mean. Could you explain?

Yeah, you can bind mount the host's docker engine with -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ... but yeah, it's potentially dangerous and might also get confusing for the AI agent and/or the user.

I do (most of) my development in docker containers. Usually a project will have a docker compose with web server, database etc.

How can I use this so the yolobox container can interact with the other docker containers (or docker compose)?

Very cool. How does it work in an apartment building? both practically not detecting my neighbors movement. But also from a privacy standpoint, can someone spy on me with this technology?

plugging Alephbet[0] the open source A/B testing framework I created and used for many years.

Alephbet is the JS frontend running experiments. Lamed is the backend running on AWS lambda with redis as data store. There’s also a Rails backend with Postgres if you prefer.

It’s entertaining and he points to some bugs like race conditions that shouldn’t be there, but I’m not sure if it’s specific to Hoywire. Also his statement that DHH/Rails claim Hotwire is the only way, or that you cannot also use React or plain JS is just silly and disingenuous.

I clicked the link on the email, entered the EU country I live in, something about my GDPR right of privacy and was immediately “approved”. YMMV
