Project mention: fieldcard: a pocket field card written offline by Gemma, so the screen is the shortest part of the walk | dev.to | 2026-10-06
fieldcard asks a small local model (Gemma 4 E4B, through Ollama) for five things to notice outside today, where you are, in this season, before sunset. It prints them on an A6 card. You go outside with the card and a pencil. When you come back, the same model looks at your photos and listens to your voice notes, on the same machine, and writes a one-page field journal.

frp
A fast reverse proxy to help you expose a local server behind a NAT or firewall to the internet.
Some time ago I looked at running this on a very small cloud VM to act as a proxy for pi-based devices:

Gin
Gin is a high-performance HTTP web framework written in Go. It provides a Martini-like API but with significantly better performance—up to 40 times faster—thanks to httprouter. Gin is designed for building REST APIs, web applications, and microservices.

Project mention: KeepassDX – open-source Password Manager for Android | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-08-25
Syncing the database between devices with Syncthing (https://syncthing.net/) is pretty neat too!

Those four plugins are the ones that survived. git for the aliases and the branch state, zsh-syntax-highlighting because a command turning red before I press Enter has caught more typos than I would like to admit, z to jump to a directory I visited last week by typing three letters of its name, and fzf-tab to hand tab-completion over to fzf, turning a wall of candidates into a fuzzy-searchable list.

Project mention: Demystifying Cloud in a Bottle: A New Approach to the Self-Hosted Stack | dev.to | 2026-09-18
The ambition behind Cloud in a Bottle is to solve the 'last mile' problem of self-hosting. By abstracting the complexity of container management, the project allows developers to focus on the applications themselves rather than the underlying plumbing. While the networking component is currently in flux, the modular design allows for integration with existing professional-grade tools. By understanding the core request path, from TLS termination via Caddy to the final container delivery, you gain the skills needed to troubleshoot effectively when things go wrong in a production or home environment. Embracing this level of technical transparency is how the open-source community will continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in personal computing.

Moby
The Moby Project - a collaborative project for the container ecosystem to assemble container-based systems
Project mention: A failing Docker swarm service cut healthy containers off the overlay network | dev.to | 2026-10-02TL;DR: On a Docker swarm node, the overlay driver keeps a count of how many endpoints have joined each network there, and destroys the network's sandbox on that node when the count reaches zero. When a container start fails after the driver's Join (for example because the host port it publishes is taken), libnetwork rolls the join back by calling Leave twice, so every such failure takes one more off the count than it added. On Docker 29.8.2, a node with two healthy containers on an overlay network lost that network within 20 seconds of creating a swarm service that published a host port another container already held. Nobody touched anything: the service's own retries did it. Both containers went NO-CARRIER, could no longer reach anything on the overlay, and docker ps showed them running throughout. Restarting the containers didn't bring them back. Restarting the daemon did. The toolkit's check-overlay-sandbox.sh finds containers in that state. Upstream report: moby/moby#53834.

So now choosing free git server from a vary short list of options. Bonobo Gogs vs Gitea vs Gitlab.

But as some of my projects grew, I found simple text to be limiting. So, I got to cooking (in Go + BubbleTea) on a TUI project management system that would be commitable as simple Markdown text..

and it gives you a Rust dependency.
