I know it gives me their magicdns, like server.wackyname.ts.net, I’m talking about using my own domain.

Can you be more specific?

Do a DNS rewrite at AGH, but instead of the LAN IP make it the Tailscale IP of your NPM machine

Wouldn’t that prevent any devices that don’t have tailscale from using it even locally?

Interesting. I saw the exit node feature but didn’t look into it closely. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Yeah, and even if you don’t like the way they’ve done Docker there’s nothing stopping you from just doing it directly or using another UI type tool. I’m playing with Dockhand right now and considering letting it handle all my compose files going forward.

This doesn’t answer the question you asked, but take a look at OpenMediaVault. It’s Debian underneath but already has pretty much everything you would need to do built in.

I pay for Kagi Search, it’s awesome. It’s got a ton of useful features you’d never see in advertising-based search engines, like the ability to up and down rank sites.

Arr and Sab

With write-back you’d only lose what was in cache right? Not the entire array?

Take a look at https://www.localscore.ai/. It helped me understand just what the difference in experience will be like.

Oh well in that case I’d better not let them give any money to the poor at all.

Good opportunity to remind you that many employers offer donation matching for nonprofits. So right now donating money to food banks not only helps those in need, but also forces our corporate overlords to!

I have no advice but I’ve been thinking the same way. I like LLMs, I use LLMs, but the “shove an LLM into every product and call it more valuable” approach is not sustainable and it will fail. Hopefully not as a full on bubble collapsing economy thing, but it’s only a matter of time (I’d guess a year tops) until companies have to start admitting to losses and investors start retreating.

Hopefully someone with some decent economic knowledge will drop some advice, but frankly I doubt anyone can do much better than guess (or parrot old advice) what will be least impacted. Intuitively tech stocks are the ones that will be hurt, maybe it’s manufacturing stuff that will stay more stable, but it’s all such a complicated web of interdependency who knows.

I just started using them and I like it. It’s a good balance of easy and secure for me. I just added the container to my stack and then use their UI to point a subdomain at the internal port. Security can go pretty extreme if you set up their whole zero trust thing.

An alternative similar option is Pangolin. I’ve seen a lot of people like it to avoid Cloudflare, but I haven’t used it myself. There still has to be an endpoint running it, so you’ll need an external VPS, which then adds a cost to the equation but at least you control it.

I’m just presenting that as a “is this what you mean”. If it is, then perhaps a FOSS or self hostable version fists or the community might be interested in one existing.

It’s not self hostable, but you mean something like this? https://calendarbudget.com/

I played a bit with the basic concept of identifying and categorizing merchants by importing a transaction csv into google sheets and writing a custom function that called the OpenAI API, basically just passing the raw merchant string along with “What category of business is this?”. It did well, the next step would have been to add a step that compared to a predefined list of possible categories. I didn’t compare any models or other platforms though. This was last year so I might play with it again.

I found this which is overkill for personal use but does a good job of laying out this sort of application: https://midday.ai/updates/automatic-reconciliation-engine/

“Instead of just comparing text strings, we use 768-dimensional vector embeddings to capture the semantic meaning of transactions and receipts.

// Generate embeddings for transaction data
const transactionText = prepareTransactionText({
  name: transaction.name,
  counterpartyName: transaction.counterpartyName,
  merchantName: transaction.merchantName,
  description: transaction.description
});

const embedding = await generateEmbeddings([transactionText]);

These embeddings allow our system to understand that “AMZN MKTP” and “Amazon Marketplace Purchase” refer to the same thing, even though the text strings are completely different. The system learns patterns like:

• “SQ *COFFEE SHOP” → “Square Coffee Shop Receipt”
• “PAYPAL *DIGITALOCEAN” → “DigitalOcean Invoice via PayPal”
• “APL*APPLE.COM” → “Apple App Store Purchase””

You’re missing the point, that would require sitting down and manually doing that for every conceivable payee. Walmart is just an example. The value of any sort of “intelligent” component would be for this to happen automatically and seamlessly for the user. Hell, the AI layer could just be “write regex for al the possible similar payees across these documents”.

Yep, that’s exactly the sort of thing I’m thinking about here. And it doesn’t even need to be full on chat style LLM, just some decent NLP that can recognize WALMART, WAL-MART, or WMART are all the same thing and label it.

But for some reason this question brings out all the assumption people who want to give financial advice or talk about the AI image the saw last year with 6 fingers.
