This post resonated with me. I have tried self hosting multiple times over the years and always gave up cause it is so hard to manage and there was always an online service that was good enough.
This weekend I vibe coded (dont shoot me) a homelab platform that hosts a bunch of useful services on a MacMini and lets me deploy my own apps on top of. Using tailscale I can access the apps from my phone. I have multiple users with their own SSO to control access. I even have a pi as part of the network that hosts public facing content. All done with Claude Code and OpenClaw (as a kind of devops tool)... hardly any code written by me. Its been a seriously fun experiment that I will try to progress some how.... if only because I love the dream "Digital sovereignty" even if the reality is its unlikely to happen again. It got me thinking though if I could get inference hardware and a good enough open LLM to work with my setup it might just be possible. The OP advocates a form of basic computing that is understandable but when we are able to host our own LLM's we could end up in a very different but more capable paradigm.
Can anyone explain to me the mindset that allows you to go so far as to burn through a ton of investors money and actually ship a "Free" energy device to the public? It is baffling to me that someone could continue to bluff all the way until the inevitable public humiliation. Still I'm going to enjoy watching it play out, provided they actually do ship these boxes and dont magically have a last minute hitch (even that would be interesting to hear what excuse could be made up).
I think the theory is that he no longer has access to the keys... the implication being that the authorities are in control and he has to obey a gagging order.
This looks awesome. Could anybody tell me how to render a angularjs-ui calendar using the jade rendering engine? I am a noob with node but I would like to know how I can use these components in a basic node app.
Good points. I think you are correct with the business user: also vpn/security would likely mean that it would be unusable for their needs.
Perhaps people would like to rent the latest tech products and use them while on holiday. They would get to try out the latest Ipad/nexus in the real road.
Ok, so I'm not the first person to think of this :) Although I have not seen these kiosks yet I havent been in the states in a few years so it makes sense.
Im interested to know what is their target market though. I understand that people want entrainment while in the airport but I'm thinking about items that can be used during the course of a stay in a country:
- Macbooks/Ipads(with 3g data access)
- Bulky items like tents/sleeping bags.
- Perhaps niche items like Binoculars,cameras etc..
I would like to know if there are items that people would be willing to pay to rent if they had a convenient method to do so... but perhaps there is not.
On a similar vain we are thinking of incorporating in the US but we will also need a bank account there. Anyone know what the procedure/requirements would be for this?
