Check out Gitea. Its kind of a clone of github but you can self host.

I'd rather recommend Forgejo (a fork of Gitea developed under the auspices of Codeberg e.V.) instead. The way in which Gitea broke the trust of the community seems like it probably should be avoided nowadays.

Maybe not easy or for everyone but you can set a Virtualbox VM running a headless linux of your choice, install directory sharing like samba and your AI agents of choice. Then you can just have multiple SSH sessions to interact with the agents and `tail` logs.

No, don't do it. I understand his thought process because they are both 12v batteries with more capacity, but car batteries are made for high burst of energy which a car engine ignition requires, whereas UPS batteries are made for slow drains. Also, these UPS are made for charging battery cells in a certain way, if you start to stack a bank of batteries of the same model in parallel hoping for more capacity, even then its a problem for the UPS's charger, they won't charge evenly and eventually becoming a problem.


Marine deep cycle batteries might work better, but at some point I'm pretty sure lithium would be price competitive.


I like to keep my hardware competence sufficiently low so that I’m never cursed with the false confidence to even consider “drilling a hole in a UPS,” nevermind wiring it to a car battery in my closet…


You seem like the kind of guy who doesn't enjoy a nice sulfuric acid spill on the floor, haha


I will mess with all kinds of hardware, especially mini PCs and routers.. I once had a few hundred iPhones in my closet… but I draw the line at anything that uses batteries or electricity in a non-standard way. If the wire can’t carry data, I’m not touching it.

Maybe it’s because when I was a kid, I fancied myself an experimenter, and I had a wire ripped off a lamp, and touched the two ends together…


It isn't quite that bad. the batteries are close enough that it will work.

the real worry is these are already a fire hazzard and so something goes wrong insurance will blame the mod even if not at fault


Are we as a society have become that gullible? Seems more like someone's trying to find a somewhat credible excuse to launder the stolen goods.


>>Harvard Law School bought its version from a London legal book dealer, Sweet & Maxwell, which had in turn purchased the manuscript in December 1945 from Sotheby’s, the auctioneers.

>>In the 1945 auction catalog it was listed as a copy and with the wrong date (1327) and was sold for £42 — about a fifth of the average annual income in the United Kingdom at the time — on behalf of Forster Maynard, an Air Vice-Marshal who had served as a fighter pilot in World War I.

>>Air Vice-Marshal Maynard inherited it from the family of Thomas and John Clarkson, who were leading campaigners in Britain against the slave trade from the 1780s onward.

Pretty convoluted path to launder stolen goods.


You guys buy too much into the marketable fuzz. In the last 15 years we've had multiple other technologies that were supposed to change the way we live (3D printing, Crypto, VR, EV, self-driving, now AI).

It's just the VC scheme: Over-promise/under-deliver = Profit

AI is and will continue to be a search on steroids.


You're buying into too much market fuzz too. That internet thing going big never happened and cell phones turned out to be bust, all that hype for nothing..... See how cherry picking works.

Also, EVs are a bust, wut?


Not saying they are a bust, either of them. Just to scale down expectations because AI, even the generative type won't be coming up with novel solutions.

EV aren't a bust either, but case in point... manufacturers are already anouncing scale downs because expectations were too high. Combustion will stay around for quite a bit given the battery production constraints.


Rome wasn’t built in a day, all of those technologies will still be around 20 years from now and will likely be powering a lot of everyday stuff. Short timelines are hype, the technology itself is anything but.


Ah yes, great automation comes by defining more manual rules.


What could wrong? Specially in America where people do not even understand roundabouts.


> 4. Tries to do too much and breaks quite often

This is the impression I've gotten recently testing their waters. Overall, my take has been to stay away from it unless the app I'm making is simple enough they have templates floating around the web and won't need further tweaking: similar to wordpress, great to have a certain type of app up and running fast but the minute you have to do extensive work on it, you'll wish death on it.


Are you sure you are not stuck at their "easy setup wizards"? To me it seems unlikely that there won't be a webUI access. Which models specifically are you using?


Very convenient to force biometrics tied to user profiles... when you have centralized control of the system and delve in occasional data collection.


Isn't biometrics only on-device?


It's "only on-device" as in the data isn't sent to MS servers (in theory).

According to ms's docs, depending on the sensor implementation, the OS might have access to that data:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/identity-...

> Some fingerprint sensors have the capability to complete matching on the fingerprint sensor module instead of in the OS. These sensors will store biometric data on the fingerprint module instead of in the database file.

So, knowing how most "enterprise" pcs get the cheapest possible implementation, I'd bet that in most cases windows stores the biometric data itself.


> I'd bet that in most cases windows stores the biometric data itself.

I suspect it is more likely the driver and Windows has no real visibility into it.


Can't Microsoft change the answer to that question whenever they please?


My superficial theory is that they probably invested for inside information, then somehow shorted them on their downfall.
