afatparakeeton Show HN: I built a real-time OSINT dashboard pulling 15 live global feeds

Yeah less ideal for the realtime data but could be useful for lightening the load of certain more static layers.

Great project, will be contributing!

afatparakeeton Show HN: I built a real-time OSINT dashboard pulling 15 live global feeds

Optimizing some of that geojson into realtime tiles is a really fun and engaging project.

Have you seen these projects?

afatparakeeton Please don't share our Signal messages with your AI Agent

I mean I understand the OpenClaw concerns and extremely valid security issues.

However this article is almost entirely incorrect about the usage model OpenClaw is leveraging with signal.

The design that OpenClaw recommends is that you "Use a separate Signal number for the bot"

In other words has its own dedicated signal account in which you white list your personal signal account so you can message OpenClaw.

Thanks for sharing! Some great slide transitions in there with your code examples

Not sure if S3 is a hard requirement for you. But many in the self-hosted community use Plexamp/Jellyfin.

I personally really like: https://github.com/sentriz/gonic

Put it behind tailscale or similar vpn and listen to your music anywhere!

Looks really great! I'm definitely interested in self hosting

Only as of 1.0 release I believe was their point.

afatparakeeton Show HN: I spent 4 years bootstrapping a financial planning tool to 30k MAUs

Seems like a really cool product. Curious who your primary customers are for the lifetime license?

At first I was thinking it would be financial advisors that are technical enough to self host. But then I noticed most of the advisor features aren't included in the lifetime license.

$800 to self host for a personal use case seems kind of steep. What am I missing?

afatparakeeton Geospatial Nix – create, use and deploy today

Oh awesome! Thanks for the tip!

afatparakeeton Geospatial Nix – create, use and deploy today

This is awesome. Such a great use case for nix.

I do a lot of geospatial processing in the cloud and I've been using Tippecanoe a lot to create vector tiles. It pairs well with PM Tiles for storing on the cloud. It seriously increases the web app performance for massive data sets. I queue these up with ECS tasks to process our json/csv/parquet input and create optimize vector tile outputs.

Tippecanoe would be a great addition to your nix packages. I've been thinking more and more about how Nix could fit into this pipeline.

Great work!

afatparakeeton Protomaps – A serverless system for planet-scale maps

Such a great utility for serverless tile hosting. Really enjoying where GIS in the cloud is going.

Another really awesome tool that is used a lot with protomaps is Tippecanoe.

Excited that active development is started again
