I've used Notational Velocity for years, but couldn't get a working binary on latest MacOS/Chips and the newer variants I found seem to miss the mark on what made Notational Velocity great (imo).

So I'm working on an electron version[1] that has what I remember of the core UX. I wasn't the best user of NV – I'm sure it had features that I didn't use. If there are features that it had that you used, I'd certainly like to be aware of them.

I have 2 fronts actually:

1. Hardware a. Trying to create my own mechanical keyboard: already modeled, how finding a suitable printer. b. Waiting for a display to arrive so I can wire into my digital calendar. c. Waiting my modem HAT to arrive to go to phase 2 of my self hosted server.

1. Software a. Preparing my next blog post. b. Working on my distro.

I am finishing up a 32 year old stretch project (as of this month). 99.9% sure I nailed it. Technically a 42 year old project, but it took me 10 years to find the right way to think about it and craft a formal definition.

The theory seems to check, but I can't/won't be convinced until the tools based on it are complete and working without friction or exception. Many times it has felt like I was tilting at windmills, but every challenge eventually caved.

An epic (for me) black triangle moment approaches! (Discovered that term here on HN.) An algorithmic triad the color of space without light is a poetic, but not misleading description.

Wish me luck!

I made an RSS reader. I have an idea for an infinite canvas dashboard that I meant to use for various things other than RSS because I wanted something to put on my touchscreen portable monitor and projector.

I tried to make the dashboard experience really seamless and even used a physics engine in there. I think I did achieve this though, but I ended up spending more time on the UI than the dashboard contents. IMO infinite canvas UIs are not utilized enough.

Try it out and tell me what you think. Currently, it only shows what I put up there.

I developed multi-ssh, it's a command-line utility designed to simplify the management of simultaneous SSH connections to multiple remote servers. It leverages tmux to create organized sessions, allowing you to interact with servers in separate panes within a single window or in individual windows per server. Features include synchronized input across panes, executing commands on all servers, copying files using rsync, and customizable configurations via a config file.

I don't know how people are so smart here. You people are really so incredibly clever and driven. I've found myself in a data analyst job where we do lots of python and linux stuff. That's cool and all but I am such an exhausted and deeply demotivated person. I don't know what to do next with my career. I am largely banking on building strong passive income streams. I don't think I'm in the right job or career - but I don't know what I'd do otherwise. I am not sure I can afford to do an apprenticeship. Maybe I should speak to a psychologist.

I am building DollarDeploy [1] - platform to deploy apps to your own server. Think of it as a Vercel but without serverless or public cloud confusing pricing - DollarDeploy + VPS of your choice. DD supports NextJS, React, Python, Docker Compose apps. NextJS and React runs without docker and deploy super fast - around 1min from GitHub push to live with HTPPS, Postgres and Redis db alongside.

Currently in progress of implementing DevOps AI which will configure properly your deployment based on the source code.

I am currently working on and beta testing an app called Malak. It is an opensource version of Visible VC/Carta/Angelist. as a previous founder, toolings to send and manage investors' updates, decks, fundraising and others were ridiculously expensive and now I have built one completely open sourced but I have an hosted cloud version.

Hyper-V as a Service ish?

I have a use case to have a need to provision at will hyper-v instances for others to have control over fully. I've looked into proper things for things like SCVMM and Azure local and really they do suck..

So off to build a set of automation scripts to provision hyper-v inside of hyper-v attached to S2D shares and give students admin access to them and work in teams to build things on their own.

Its going to suck... I've done this exact use case using openstack, incus, proxmox and they all kinda suck...

I need project isolation, I need freedom, I need compliance.

The compliance is where I'm stuck with hyper-v due to the powers to be....

Wish me luck!

I've been "Vibe Coding" this weekend with the vibe of a micromanaging tech lead or PM. Actually, it's not terrible if you just accept that you need to treat the AI like a year 0 engineer who is really good at googling.

I've run the project through cline and roo. Also tried Claude 3.7 and the 1M context Gemni 2.5 pro model. I'd say Gemini is less creative. But it's still good.

I can see how it is a productivity booster. Or at least it gives you the illusion of one. Really I think best part of it is just building out detailed documentation. That's really the killer app for me.
