I’ve been using litestar for loads of projects recently and have been loving it. The ability to have full request/response typing (and openapi spec autogeneration) with your favorite dataclass framework is quite nice (I use attrs). I didn’t want to be forced to use pydantic like some other frameworks do.

Glad I’m not the only one that prefers (c)attrs over pydantic.

(author here) I am really excited to make pre-configured Raspberry Pis that people can just plug in at home, and have it work out of the box. It'll take a bit more work to make it seamless but we're definitely aiming in that direction. It's a shame how expensive Pis have gotten recently though with the memory shortage.

That is cool to hear. I know lots of folks who would be genuinely interested in this who don't have the technological chops to set up a self hosted system. One angle i have heard is degoogling and having more privacy in their data. I am really genuinely interested in this venture. I had the same idea about a year ago but was not in a place in life to act on it. I think even with the PIs being expensive because of the people will still buy them. Especially if they are seamless or near seamless.

(author here) I'm checking with my team to confirm these came from us, but if so I apologize for this - posts like these should come from a real account with proper disclosure, but also these sorts of requests feel premature for a project like ours that doesn't yet have a sizeable user base.

The user was called adl-collab, when it forked repos to add implementations it made them under a branch called "andrew".

The biggest contributor to the project in the last 3mo is andrewlaack... and we can also just take a guess that "adl" in adl-collab is AnDrewLaak.


Yeah, I'll make sure this doesn't continue. To be clear there were 11 total issues posted; this was a mistake, not some huge spamming campaign.

This is Zack.

Thanks Andrew

Possibly andrewlaack’s clanker run amok

At least this is more informative than "Thanks Andrew".

You are also characterizing another project that was open-sourced (sandstorm) and is under active development as "long abandoned". Open source is difficult and requires a fair amount of cheerleading to engage users and make them part of the community. As a result it's hard to see your project in a positive light.

"Long abandoned" is a fair characterization of Sandstorm.

There is a loyal community of enthusiasts trying to keep it alive, but realistically not a lot of progress has been made. (Though, AI has helped them make more progress lately.)

But the original creator of Sandstorm (me) did indeed abandon it long ago (sorry).

More here: https://sandstorm.io/news/2024-01-14-move-to-sandstorm-org


They also called out Sandstorm for requiring changes to the applications for them to run on the platform.

Which is true. There's no issue with honest criticism, but when it's careless or disingenuous then it it's a put reflection on the speaker.

Right, I wouldn't have mentioned it if their own platform didn't apparently have the same issue.

I mean, to be honest it does look like sandstorm development has almost stopped for the past couple of years...or am I missing something? https://github.com/sandstorm-io/sandstorm/graphs/code-freque...

No, sandstorm was deprecated years ago. I was building a platform that was similar to/inspired by sandstorm, and I closely followed it until its creator deprecated it. They now work for Cloudflare and released the 'WorkOS' project a couple weeks ago through them/for them.



Our current work is in the dev branch, we are preparing for a new release soon.

Looking at the issues, do I understand it correctly that you have some way to install directly from repositories if they contain a `cloudinabottle.toml` file?

If yes, regardless of who made the issues, that seems like terrible architecture/design there...


Please don't require app cooperation for getting apps into a bottle. I don't want to have to fight to get a file in, nor maintain my own fork.

I feel like with the capabilities of AI, I feel like they should be able to just figure this out..

> posts like these should come from a real account with proper disclosure

This line makes me think you are running a spam campaign and andrew just isn't part of it


If this is a spam campaign, it’s not a very effective one. I think you’d do well to apply Hanlon’s Razor here

I used to work for this company many years ago, and it's highly unlikely they're running a (centrally organized) spamming campaign of any type. Zack's a good guy and I'm sure he'll get it taken care of promptly.

Because "perfectly legal" and "socially acceptable" often diverge quite a bit.

The world would be quite miserable if "perfectly legal" would be what everyone optimizes for.


> The world would be quite miserable if "perfectly legal" would be what everyone optimizes for.

what you will find is that this is what corporations optimizes for. Therefore, you as a person, cannot compete with the corp.

That's why you need to become like a corp, or make the rules "socially acceptable" the same as "legal" (which is the best option).


Yes, but first of all, people make those decisions. And second, unlike those people, you don't need to have dissonant answers, and don't need to lie to yourself.

And you can still live quite comfortably.

This feels like something derailing, ragebaiting and not contributing to this platform tbh.

> [Behavior X] is encouraged in my social circles and anyone who says otherwise is weak minded

What is "weak-minded"? Seems like an awfully brittle perspective.


(author here) Thanks for flagging, I should make this more clear. Our managed instances have pretty small disks (~50GB), but there's a way to link a S3 bucket to your instance to use for bulk data storage. Apps that store bulk data (like immich/jellyfin) should automatically put it in the "archive data tier" which can be configured to go into this S3 bucket instead of local storage. We're planning to make this (and backups) an auto-configured part of our managed instances - billed separately (so you pay for just the additional storage you use; cloudflare R2 (S3 compatible) at-cost is like $15/TB/mo so it should be in that neighborhood).

See docs on how this works: https://cloudinabottle.org/docs/how_it_works/data.html#the-a...


i'm excited to try this - i'm finding that often when claude struggles with something i asked for, it'll often just quietly modify the tests to avoid having to actually solve the problem. which is especially annoying if i left it alone for a while hoping to come back to my problem being solved, and it actually just took a shortcut and quit. i'm hoping vet help can help provide some discipline lol.


Refrigerators actually have greater than 100% efficiency, often like 300% or so. Because you're just moving the heat, not creating it. Sounds like magic but it's not.


ah true. though that number is coefficient of performance, not efficiency


Yes - this is how impossible foods makes the heme protein which is central to their burger tasting "meaty". There are tons of startups working on this for other food products, but it's well established in other industries. Many pharmaceuticals are produced via synthetic biology, for example.


And xanthan gum, another example of this general process (perhaps without the "programming"), has been around since the 1960s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthan_gum


Just don’t let it go near infants apparently. Holy hell! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrotizing_enterocolitis


I have been working with the Sawyer arm for the past few months and it's a really nice piece of hardware - far better than the Universal Robots arms that it competes with, while being a similar price. The software is also far ahead of the crappy 2000's era interface of the UR arms, and they have a nice ROS-integrated SDK for people who want to go farther with it. I was really disappointed to see them shut down as we were hoping to buy several more in the next few months.
