Tempted to buy cal.zone or cal.sucks just to add the paid features to cal.diy. They even made a list!

  Teams, Organizations, Insights, Workflows, SSO/SAML, and other EE-only features have been removed

cal.ws is $630 on Namecheap... the tokens required to build this are cheaper than the domain.

I'm surprised cal.zone is not taken already

You have to install it to enable it, actually! Computer Use is also confined (read and write!) to apps that you've explicitly allowed.

Yes! and if you install Computer Use from the Codex App you can also use it from the Codex CLI

My initial instinct would be that the higher IQ someone is, the better they are able to do most things including control their impulses.

I love it! How would you position yourself relative to existing OSS products in the space like Filestash or Seafile? I'm trying to pick a solution at the moment, and the mobile experience matters a lot to me.

GitHub is free, but the runners are slow and increasingly unreliable.

I use Namespace (https://namespace.so) and I hook it up both to my personal GitHub as well as my personal Forgejo. I’m in the process of moving from the former to the latter!

I didn’t really realize the degree of their slowness, until I migrated one of the projects on a self-hosted gitea and runners. This setup is just breezing! It’s an order of magnitude faster we’re talking about.

Granted, self-hosting git is not feasible for everyone, but GitHub + self hosted runners seems like a very good option.

I would just like to give this a big ol’ +1. I did not like Nix when I started. The ergonomics are hard to get around, but the power is honestly hard to overstate.

Coding agents actually help with a lot of the ergonomic issues. If you have an evaluation issue, it can be annoying to climb into nixpkgs to diagnose it. But codex will do that for you.

I’ve found agenix in particular to be really great addition for agents: secrets you can copy around without risk of accidental disclosure.

In a day I can now deploy Caddy, Authentik, Fleet, Headscale, Stalwart, jmap-webmail, Forgejo, SFTPGo, Immich, Grafana, Jaeger, PostHog, etc. and have them all work together. I can do this on a tiny VPS, and codex can actually estimate and test performance to minimize cost.

The equivalent Kubernetes setup wastes so much on isolation and a scheduler that is overkill for anything small.

Codex is using its app server protocol to build a nice client/server separation that I enjoy on top of the predictable Rust performance.

You can run a codex instance on machine A and connect the TUI to it from machine B. The same open source core and protocol is shared between the Codex app, VS Code and Xcode.

OpenCode works this way too

I think this has been around for a while:

  $ echo 'test' | xxd -i -n foo
  unsigned char foo[] = {
    0x74, 0x65, 0x73, 0x74, 0x0a
  };
  unsigned int foo_len = 5;

VMWare Fusion is free, even if it is a pain in the butt to download. It also has GPU paravirtualization for Linux/Windows which is the only reason I use a proprietary VMM on macOS these days.

You can also use UTM to run Windows for free and it is open source.

https://mac.getutm.app

Because I was fed up with parallels subscription model and they make me pay for the upgrade the non-subscription version with every new macOS release, I dropped parallels for UTM. I barely need windows, only every other month or so and often just for some small tasks. UTM is nice, but performance running windows is waaay below parallels. It is free, however, so I won't complain.

The performance story doesn't really make sense as both UTM and Parallels use Apple Hypervisor Kit which pretty much is the hypervisor running Windows. It should be identical.

Classic VM solutions like Virtualbox, VMware, Parallels etc. always come with guest tools and driver packages for the guest that have a massive impact on performance. Just because both solutions use the same hypervisor doesn’t mean they perform equally.

Last I checked UTM doesn't have GPU acceleration. Parallels' proprietary GPU driver is the only reason to pay for it.

fair

I have Intent working on it. Maybe AI can make progress on this, but we will see.

Intent looks interesting but the fact that they have their own credits system turns me off of it. I pay $200/mo for Claude Code and that's enough for me; I wish I could use Intent with that.

Have you actually tried it? In addition to Augment, you can use it Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and more are coming.

http://tart.run works great for running macOS (and Linux) VMs on macOS if you're technical. It's free for non-commercial uses too! (Don't think there's GPU acceleration tho).

I take this back: UTM has Venus in there with KosmicKrisp – the works, as of January. Long live QEMU.
