Oh man, I wish everyone just moved somewhere else, specially if they are aiming to make something public. You can choose any server on bluesky nowadays. Scientists in Europe, please check out https://mu.social which is hosted by an european open foundation

New comment by woile in "After wearing the Pebble Time 2 for two weeks, I'll never buy another smartwatch"

woile — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 14:11:00 +0000

I have been using a "withings" smartwatch for the last 8 years. The battery now last 3 weeks instead of a month. It has all the features I need spite of being an oldy: heartbeat, steps, calories, countdown, sport mode, etc. The newer ones even have gps and more.

But the thing is: it looks analog, the smart is almost hidden away, that's how I like the tech, because the watch looks really cool. It can receive messages, but I never enabled that feature.

I've taken it deep under water, clashed against climbing walls, kettle-bells and it has a few scratches on it. I'm not a pro at anything so I don't need the garmin precision. I only had to change the wrist thingy once. I don't want another screen in my life. I recommend it as an alternative to all these "wrist-phones"

I maintain a small website to share recipes: https://reciperium.com

I wonder how could I apply this? I don't fully grasp what it is. Like what is the next best ingredient? Like, what could you add to it?

Same, I've been playing with kernel settings for AMD, and it's really easy to revert in case things blow up

Because I don't feel confident. I'm super green at VPN's and this kind of networks. I don't want to give the wrong advice.

I'm editing what I can, but you don't want to take my advice, it would be better if someone who knows does it.

The fact that I'm into home lab, doesn't mean I know specifically how to do this. And I'm just saying, when I go to the wiki, to pick up on one of the options, they are missing.

I don't know why the hostility for asking to add some docs

For the guys at Netbird, please create an entry in the https://wiki.nixos.org explaining how to use it with nixos.

- Tailscale has one entry - Pangolin is getting one

I would like to see, even if brief:

1. Getting started

2. Hardware requirements

3. Security considerations

4. Recommended architecture, like running in a VPS if it makes sense

5. Configuring a server

6. Configuring devices

7. Resources (links to read more on netbird)

Thank you from the home lab community

Very nice tool!

The UI has a few errors on desktop, I cannot see all the issues. The leaderboard... doesn't work ? and the topbar hides some elements

I've been using it with the Zed editor and it works quite well! Congrats.

This kind of AI are the ones I like and I'm looking to run in my workstation.

Hey, ollama run as suggested in hf doesn't seem to work with this model. This worked instead:

ollama pull hf.co/sweepai/sweep-next-edit-1.5B

New comment by woile in "2026 will be my year of the Linux desktop"

woile — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 18:30:40 +0000

Last year I got a laptop with Linux, after a Mac gap of 6 years (work) and it's been super smooth with NixOS and KDE.

My main issue now was the 16GB of RAM using a VM and working on rust, which would kill the system, but now I have more, so all the issues are gone.

One of the machines has become a media-center, with a remote keyboard, anyone at home can operate now.

Multiple screens, bluetooth, drag and drop, night/light all seems to be working

New comment by woile in "How uv got so fast"

woile — Sat, 27 Dec 2025 09:50:24 +0000

nah, a lot of people working on `uv` have a massive amount of experience working on the rust ecosystem, including `cargo` the rust package manager. `uv` is even advertised as `cargo` for python. And what is `cargo`? a FLOSS project.

Lots of lessons from other FLOSS package managers helped `cargo` become great, and then this knowledge helped shape `uv`.

New comment by woile in "Backing up Spotify"

woile — Sun, 21 Dec 2025 09:55:26 +0000

I'm paying for youtube music, but on the side I started buying records in bandcamp directly from artists and putting them in my jellyfin library. I do use lidarr for some older tracks. I think the ecosystem is starting to look good enough, where you can have your own personal spotify.

codeberg.org for open source, because it's a non-profit, with what it seems, very well intentioned people, with a good governance structure, and it's starting to support federation.

For a company, I'd recommend self-hosting forgejo (which also has actions), which powers codeberg.

(forgejo started as a fork of gitea)

New comment by woile in "Roomba maker goes bankrupt, Chinese owner emerges"

woile — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 09:04:23 +0000

I bought a roomba because I associated it with quality. It's crap! I bought a nice mopping model. The cheap one I had before was even better with a simple only-turn-left algorithm. I'm not surprised by this.

Reading the comments, I'm glad the industry is way ahead, and I was just confused. I think I'm gonna sell and get a better one.
