beeman··on 13 Months Sober (2025)
Loved this read and perspective.

Been sober myself for about three years now and it wasn’t hardly as difficult as I used to tell myself.

Here’s to another year!

beeman··on AX – Google’s Open Agentic Orchestrator
I assume they expect agents will be writing most of those
beeman··on Tethyr Cloud: Open Agent discovery, zero vendor lock-in (AIdeas Semi-finalist)
Can you explain how

> Built on AWS Amplify Gen 2

leads to

> Zero vendor lock-in

It seems like a contradiction.

beeman··on Awesome Claws
This is awesome, thanks for creating this list!
beeman··on Show HN: Hmem – Persistent hierarchical memory for AI coding agents (MCP)
Hey there, thanks for sharing this! I wanted to check out the code but it seems like the repo is private.
beeman··on Tldraw SDK 4.0
They aim at AI companies who currently are well funded and can easily carve out $500/m for an SDK.
beeman··on Tldraw SDK 4.0
The $500/m plan seems pretty excessive. I expect an alternative to pop up soon and hope such greed won't capture those devs.

Glad I only just started using tldraw weeks ago, time to move away.

beeman··on Briefly – A CLI that turns Git commits into changelogs and posts them to Discord
This looks pretty nice, thanks for sharing. Is it available on GitHub?
beeman··on Show HN: Generate random gradients like on OpenAI's website
Looks awesome! It would be good to add a license to your repo!
beeman··on When the digital nomad dream turns sour
I left my home country about 10 years ago when I got hired by a US-based startup that allowed me to work remotely.

Since then I've been living abroad and have often referred to myself and by others as a digital nomad, though some people might disagree.

I think the main thing that I did differently from a typical digital nomad described in the article is to not pursue continuous travel to new locations (that's what I take vacations for) but instead spend significant time each year in a few places around the world that you like, and come back to those places.

This allowed me to get to know a couple of cities pretty well. I got to know people and places, and it made it easier to get back in the flow when you come back, as you already know your way around, and you understand how things like money, groceries, transport and other services work.

Besides that I optimized for productivity. So I try to minimize the amount of time I need to depend on a coffeeshop by getting Airbnb's that have a desk or rent a desk in a co-working. I always bring a laptop stand, keyboard and mouse and sometimes use my tablet as a second screen to get max ergonomics.

I met my wife during one of these trips and we have been living and traveling together since 2018.

For the last 5 years we've rented several places for longer time that we call home. I typically spend around 6 months per year there, the rest I'm still traveling, my wife tends to spend a bit more time at home.

End of this year we'll move to SE Asia, we'll travel around for like 2 months before we decide where we want to rent a place to call home.

From there, we'll continue to explore the region and hopefully get to know some more amazing spots.

We feel we're not exhausted yet and are looking forward to what the next years will bring us

beeman··on Apple Just Sherlocked Docker
I've recently switched to Orbstack as a drop-in replacement for Docker on my MacBook and it’s faster and more efficient.

The main reason it works well for me is that I don't have to change anything about my workflow, commands like 'docker run' and 'docker compose up' still work, just faster and more efficient.

If Apple's container works the same they might 'sherlock' Docker and Orbstack.

beeman··on Apple has announced its final version of macOS for Intel
But what makes it obsolete if this is what you use it for?
beeman··on Xata: Postgres at scale, with copy-on-write branching and anonymization
One of my mentees worked with Xata in their app using Prisma and it wasn't great. The need for a second db for the 'shadow' db that prisma needs, and they would throw Out of Memory errors frequently without any significant usage.

The app now moved to Prisma's postgres hosting and it works like a charm, only thing that changed is the db.

beeman··on Show HN: A lightweight Node.js module for transcoding videos to web-friendly MP4
Looks very interesting and complete. The repo had an MIT License and can be found here:

https://github.com/profullstack/transcoder

beeman··on Synadia backs down from CNCF trademark dispute
I wish Runtime News would have added a source for this claim.
beeman··on Supabase raises $200M Series D at $2B valuation
A 'serverless' platform that's "similiar". But not open source, and uses a token to 'own a piece of it'?

Care to explain what the idea behind this is and where you see the similarities?

beeman··on Show HN: A fast, minimal and offline-friendly web playground
Same, a tool like this would be invaluable if OSS.

I don't know of any sadly.

beeman··on ThePrimeagen: Programming, AI, ADHD, Productivity, Addiction, and God
I very much enjoyed this conversation and had some good laughs!
beeman··on Meta under fire for 'polluting' open-source

beeman··on Show HN: Open-source Railway, Render alternative running on Kubernetes clusters
This looks amazing! Going to run it on my develop cluster!
beeman··on Knockknock: Simple, secure, and stealthy port knocking implementation (2012)
A similar tool that's actively developed was posted a few days ago.

beeman··on Consolo. first modular tablet-console based on pi5 with 7-hour battery life
This looks like an interesting piece of tech for this price.

From the FAQ:

> > how much is the cost of making this?

> it's yet to be determined but we aim for less than $200.

beeman··on Show HN: API Typegen – Generate TypeScript types from API responses
Got it, that makes sense.

Maybe good to describe that use case in the README.

beeman··on Show HN: API Typegen – Generate TypeScript types from API responses
Is there any benefit over using this versus an industry standard like OpenAPI/Swagger?

Does it add any new features?

beeman··on Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS
I have been using Multipass [0] for a while and it works great to quickly spin up an Ubuntu environment on my MacBook. It supports cloud config in case you want a custom instance.

It seems to be limited to running Ubuntu instances only (at least, I haven't figured out how to run other Linux instances) but if you want a quick clean Ubuntu VM I would recommend it.

beeman··on Croquet: Live, network-transparent 3D gaming
This looks really nice! I can't seem to find a LICENSE file in the repo though, would you mind sharing what license it uses?
