The books are really enjoyable. I also gave up on the show due to the pacing but had a great time with the first book.

A common pattern is to manage your own "overlay" repo on top of nixpkgs to keep the packages you care about up to date.
you should include an example of the output of your own blog post :)

The parent commentator is the former CTO of Cloudflare, I don't think he's worried about monetizing his passion project :)

Just echoing all the other comments here, I've been loving my x4 flashed with crosspoint.

I've been having a lot of fun with claude to build one off cli's / tuis to solve my problems.

I had this same problem and I got claude to whip up my own version of this tool built out with makemkv, ffmpeg, imdb api lookups, LLM-selection of the "most likely to be the primary track", and plenty of other features. Really fun time to be building small bespoke tools for yourself.

I created a skill to write skills (based on the Anthropic docs). I think the value is really in making the skills work for your workflows and code base

I’f you’re using tailscale, what features does copy party give you that you can’t get with tailscale drop?

I’m also curious about this since I’ve been exposing services via their experimental caddy plugin.

Yes I host web services for my consumption, like miniflux rss aggregator, that don’t need to be on the public internet.

Similarly I’m going to host my small business’ staging database on a home server and expose that on my tail net.

Nice, I've been running nightly to get access to the cursor shaders. I've found them really helpful, especially when screen sharing.

Nice, thanks for letting me know. I'll give Orion another shot!

I've used it previously and echo the other sentiments here about some bugs being blockers, but overall enjoyed the experience. Ultimately though, unless they get access to the APIs to auto-fill OTP codes from messages/email, I'm unlikely to switch from Safari
I’m using plane.so it’s got the basic features you need (tasks, sprints, epics) and that’s it. Generous free tier too

The COMMENT command will finally be useful :)
Daily recently announced a new turn detection model to replace Silero and I think Livekit is working on a similar model.

I’m looking forward to more UX improvements in voice pipelines now that the big players have stabilized their voice pipeline frameworks

Really well done! Looks great

Avante also has @quickfix (push quick fix list into the context) and my change to add @buffers (add open buffers to the context) was merged this morning.
Re:You don't need Next.js – Why we migrated from Next to React on Wednesday January 01, 2025 @01:24PM (#42567944)
I’ve been playing around with Vike to replace a NextJS app and I’m having a good time. It gets out of my way and lets me build how I see fit.
Nice project and thanks for all your work maintaining vix!
