Your public website / blog? Sometimes you want services that are accessible publicly, like your observability and logging servers (eliminates the VPN point of failure).

I own one and there's nothing shameful about it. It's basically CNCed to Apple's standards, just without the logo. The cool thing is since Studio Displays work on Windows too, with Thunderbolt motherboards you can have a setup that's visually the same as a Mac but is actually a PC.

P.S. Does anyone know how well Studio Displays now work on Linux? The best I could get it to work was on Ubuntu, where it basically worked out of the fresh install. X11 KDE on Fedora was a close second. Couldn't get it working on Wayland whatsoever.

Agreed, but I'm making a distinction between the platform (whether it be Cloudflare Moltworker or a Mac Mini), which a human chooses for the agent to run on (for now), and tools designed to be discovered and consumed by the agents themselves (e.g. code.storage, AgentMail).

I have a suspicion most of these types of agent-targeted SaaS will die out once the human equivalents implement their agent layers / MCPs.

Agents having no way to pay for their use is one thing; lack of deep integration within the business domain is another (e.g. if you're a Git provider, you'd probably want to offer CI/CD, PR workflows, release management, publicly discoverable repos etc., and boom - you just copied GitHub)

I'm so sorry for you and your wife's loss. At the same time, I'm struck by how strong your wife and you are navigating this tough situation. From an Internet stranger to another, may the loving memories of your daughter live on.

I feel like this needs a (1997) on the title.

OP might be thinking about something like this paper "Rig My Ride: Automatic Rigging of Physics-based Vehicles for Games" by Katz et al.

Why the condescending tone, OP has a point. Techniques like RigAnything[0] exist - whether this is within the scope of this project is another topic, but this seems like a reasonable request to me (especially considering how many x_2_y-named projects are ML related)

And they even use Nix, to add to the craziness.

leohonexus — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 03:26:31 +0000

I call it my "homeprod" - but then, what happens if your infra spans multiple sites, and the cloud? Then it's just "prod" at that point. Probably best to just call it your "personal infra / servers", or if you have a family, "family servers".

This is big. Hopefully no more relying on macFUSE which is unmaintained and a pain to install and work with.

leohonexus — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 01:56:31 +0000

This is similar to how a (cheap) DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter worked, the adapter itself is completely passive.

Many devices with DisplayPort output support multimode, which allows the device to switch from outputting DP packets to outputting TMDS-based HDMI or DVI signals. You'll sometimes see a ++DP logo on these ports.

This is also why you don't see a cheap HDMI(source)-to-DisplayPort(sink) adapter, the smarts just aren't built into the source device.

There's Wazuh, but it's more of an XDR (i.e. anti-virus) and SIEM solution than what Wiz is offering.

Most interesting thing to me is how switching to coreboot fixed the freezing. Do you have a theory of why that might happen? I wonder if it's ACPI/DSDT related or if HW controllers were initialized incorrectly using the original BIOS.
