codetiger··on My Homelab Setup
Yes, he has a lot of money. But I see quality of work that he is putting in. I am very much impressed with his work (Hardware setup and his blog as well). However, am going to take what I can and use my RPi based home server to make to anywhere close to what he has achieved in terms of aesthetics and output.
codetiger··on Making progress on side projects with content-driven development
I’m planning a side project starting in October 2024, and it’s a big one. I have ambitious goals for it. Are there any recommended tools to help open-source projects stay focused and avoid distractions, especially when the initial phase could take over six months? I’m familiar with GitHub’s tools but would like to know about other best practices in this situation. Especially on project planning and other stuff.
codetiger··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
Super excited to share one of my side projects that’s finally ready for action! Meet PowerTiger—a powerful, open-source energy monitoring solution built around the RPi Pico W and a custom built PCB. It’s perfect for tracking power consumption in real-time across 16 power terminals. Installed it at home to collect power consumption metrics using Grafana and Prometheus running on RPi home server.

codetiger··on GPT in 500 Lines of SQL
Games like Alpha Go have very limited(or known) end state so reinforcements learning or similar methods work great. However, I wonder how will AI train itself in learning human languages without being judged by humans. It’s just a matter of time before someone figures out

codetiger··on Smallest RP2040 Development Board

codetiger··on 11 years of hosting a SaaS

codetiger··on Smartphones with Qualcomm chip secretly send personal data to Qualcomm
