I'm working on adding better Obsidian support to my personal SSG – Hajime [1], in an effort of making it a somewhat solid Obsidian Publish alternative.
The main point is adding relationships between the entries, as that's the bread and butter of Obsidian.
The cost of design, build and marketing do not triple the final price by themselves.
The kickstarter was successfully funded, yielding in over $3.3M.
The device back then was $149 at 20% off, with $169 being the full price. That's still not $193.
Again, this is just my personal opinion, but even taking everything into account and factoring in a nice profit margin, being OVER $100 is very, very hard to justify.
Thanks! You made me realize I completely forgot to mention memory in my post .
For running memory, hex maintains a 10 message full-length context window, with the rest being summarized when the threshold is being crossed (15 messages) by a separate LLM call and stored in vector storage (Qdrant).
Aside from that, observational memories get constantly stored in Qdrant as well for convenient retrieval and embeddings are calculated locally via Qdrant's FastEmbed.
Preferences, facts and things like that are store in SQLite.
I spent a decade in support, slowly automating myself out of every role until the tools I built became more valuable than the tickets I closed (at least to me).
Now I write Python, creating internal tooling, LLM integrations and automations.
Current projects: hex (https://0xff.nu/hex), an AI executive assistant that manages my calendar, tasks, and Obsidian vault because my ADHD brain certainly won't, and sixwhyo (https://6yo.dev), a code reviewer powered by a 6-year-old's logic.
I like simple and robust solutions over overly clever architecture, and am looking for a remote-first engineering role, not a support role with "engineer" in the title.
I’ve been looking at these for a while, hoping the custom firmwares for it will become more popular, as I was considering getting this for my six-year-old.
The disabled usb is certainly a bummer. I wonder how they disabled it though – is there a hardware difference?
Any time I see one of these posts about models of this size a quote comes to mind – "Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should".
Only a select few have the hardware required to run this to begin with, and even then the forecasted performance makes me wonder if it’s worth it at all.
Well, I don't mean this post specifically, but from personal experience one of such opinions (often taken out of context as well) is enough for them to make a baseless decision like that.
"Remote work is bad for ME" is what the title should've been, and that would've already made your point more palatable.
The logical leap from "I feel lonely" (which is absolutely valid) to "remote work is bad" is simply blunt overgeneralization.
Moreover, it comes as a disservice to posts like mine (https://0xff.nu/remote-work/) as employers see "lonely" -> "See?? remote work makes you lonely! So now everyone goes back to the office"
Otherwise – what have you done to address specific issues? What worked? What didn't work?
I finally was able to have some spare time and mental clarity to fix and update my task runner Boku (https://github.com/hxii/boku) based on plans that were pending from like October 2025, and I'm finally happy with the result.
Before that, I vibe coded peek – a CLI network monitor, just because I couldn't find a solution that did what I needed it to do (think Uptime Kuma, but less and in CLI). You can try it out from here: https://github.com/hxii/peek
Now:
1. I'm trying to learn some Swift and SwiftUI so that I can give life to a ADHD-inspired idea I had a year ago that will help me maintain the "one input" framework I created for myself in 2023 (https://0xff.nu/productivity/#the-possible-solution)
2. I'm trying to find a job in a hopefully normal company
Yeah I received a couple of those telling me that my CV "is making recruiters read you as broad full-stack read" and that they'll "be glad to talk through your resume and see whether I can help".
Technologies: Python, HTML, CSS, Some Crystal/Ruby, GitHub Actions and SourceHut builds, Liquid, Django, Jinja and so on, N8n. Getting more into AI/LLM.
I'm a creative problem-solver at heart. I love tinkering with new technologies and learning new things. A good example would be "Boku" which I've recently updated, a tool born out of personal necessity and curiosity – https://hxii.github.io/boku
I'd love to work in a remote-first company that gives the employees the freedom to explore and experiment and allows them to learn and grow together with it.
I wrote about some of the automations, hacks and techniques I've built to help organize daily life with ADHD. I'm deliberately skipping the low-tech solutions (labels, notes, priority storage) to focus on automations, as I feel this area gets less attention in my experience.
I'm currently tweaking some others to make sure they're sound enough to share.
For example, I've yet to find a good solution for our dishwasher. I often forget to put a tab in the dishwasher and actually turn it on after loading it. My current draft essentially relies on a door/window sensor and checking for how long it's been open, potentially indicating that my wife or I were loading it.
I am curious to know though - what less-than-conventional automations have you made for yourself?
Some of you have it, some of you wonder what it is.
I've decided to share a post, that I will keep updating on what ADHD is, for me. My hope is that this small gesture will help those of us with ADHD to open up about it and share, and for those of us who don't have ADHD to learn to accept the "quirks" this... thing, comes with.
And to that extent, to those of you who have ADHD – in what spectacular ways are you experiencing ADHD? How does it manifest for you?
This actually looks kinda cool! Not sure this would be something that I'd use (as I am really trying to not rely on too many plugins), but it makes me happy to see cool new ways of visualizing data in Obsidian.
I finally cleared a roadblock that was preventing me from writing more posts and sharing some of the photos that I take -- I patched Hajime -- https://sr.ht/~hxii/hajime/ with the functionality I was missing from it.
So now I can get back to the project that I was actually working on (but mostly deferring) for some time now -- boku -- https://sr.ht/~hxii/boku/ which allows someone to write a sequential series of tasks to perform without using code
