I appreciate both the level of detail and the storytelling. This looks to have been a lot of work and care.

Anyone else using Fossil?
I have wanted to do something similar for a while, but thought that routing would be the toughest part.
In fact, I am surprised that a robust go-to successor to https://www.freerouting.app/ has not appeared in the LLM world. Do you know of a good follow working in the OSS autorouting space?

Contrast this with Apple Maps - when you open it, there are 4 big tap controls for actions like "Home" "Work", a search bar, and a map that covers a 1-mile radius around you .
I'd encourage your UX flow to go something more like: request location services > if granted, immediately start downloading their local tileset in the background > zoom to a 20-mile radius around the user
My company sent an internal phishing test last week. Several people immediately reported it to a cybersecurity engineer, posted about it in Slack, saying they were surprised that such a sophisticated phishing attack was happening.
I too was surprised - Google is usually much better about catching these kinds of things in the GMail filter before they get through. Oh well, sometimes one slips though. Reported it and moved on
Come to learn that the only reason it made it through is because we let it through _on purpose_.
By analogy to these red team attacks: _theoretically_ someone could rent a car, pose as an employee, and set up a Raspberry Pi in the network.
But who would go to all that trouble?
Theoretically, someone could craft a perfect phishing attack, but who would go to all that trouble? Spray-and-pray, low precision, high surface area, attacks are the ones I end up reading about.
The only reason this attack vector was open is because the red team stood to gain a massive benefit from succeeding in the attack. What real-world actor would go to the trouble and stand to benefit as much?
It's very cyberpunk eventually...the human operator of the console needs to be able to see and hear the screen and sound, there will always be an interface that can be adapted to a machine, however low-fidelity
I wish it were easier to extend the way the KiCAD plugin system is, but I also have a lot of respect for the developer's approach. High-performance, choose features carefully, everything can be done local or with Git with no cloud dependencies.
Is it a replacement for Kimi 2.7, Claude Haiku, Gemini Flash 3.1 lite, a conversational LLM for the situations where it's mostly tool-calling like coding and conversational AI?
e.g. worry about what makes your app unique. Data storage is not what makes your app unique. Outsource thinking about that to SQLite
you should be squashing bugs related to your business logic, not core data storage. Local data storage on your one horizontally-scaling box is a solved problem using SQLite. Not to mention atomic backups?
