That’s a good point. We’ve been using the UML diagrams as a tool to catch behavioral red flags, but the reuse and implementation details of that are left undefined.
Maybe the answer lies in also explicitly spending a few passes focusing on code health, explainability, maintainability (while keeping brain on). This is something I go through at end and then retry verification tests, but not something we explicitly require in our process at the moment.
But in the end you have to know what good looks like and be able to call bullshit. Hmm I guess strong first principles are still the foundation of being good at something, no matter how the tools change. And practice, feedback, and constraint exposure are what turn that into actual effectiveness.


We require you to submit markdown plan before working on a feature, which must have full context, scope, implementation details. Also verification tests mardown file of happy path and critical failure modes that would affect customer, and how tests were performed. Must be checked in with the commit. More complex, large features require UML diagrams of architecture, sequences, etc. to be checked in too.
If your plan or verification docs have wrong context, missing obvious implementation flaws, bad coupling, architecture, interfaces, boundary conditions, missing test cases, etc then PR rejected.
Every developer’s performance is judged as a systems engineer. Thoughtless features without systems docs and continued lack of improvement in your systems thinking gets you PIPed.


Battery life is limited by cell modem drivers being closed source and having to be reverse engineered.
I have been looking into an alternate hybrid radio device using Reticulum. Though with that comes a new less convenient user experience for a lot of apps.


Socialized losses are the norm. People’s energy bills are already paying for the nearby data centers .


Sounds like a scare tactic. This will only embolden the community.


You can use Netbird reverse proxy to connect your domain to any device on your mesh. Netbird cloud supports the reverseproxy too now if you don’t want to self host netbird on a VPS.


You can use Netbird Cloud’s reverseproxy to point your domain to a device on your wireguard mesh.
That way your home server can be under 3x NATs and dynamic IP and you’ll still be fine.
Later if you want to own the netbird you can self host it on a VPS if you’re willing to migrate all devices to your self hosted wireguard mesh.


You mean they’re complying with Meta’s age verification at OS level lobbying?

That’s why my side project energy has been focused on making decentralized solutions infrastructure more appliance-like reliability and boring. So app environment on top can have as close to equivalent advantage as centralized solutions.


Sounds awesome! No rush, I’m a big believer in taking the time to do it right, not twice.
Just wanted to let you know that I find value in that + feel like it could help adoption especially in the self hosting community.


Would I be able to sign into multiple servers simultaneously? In case I have 2 friends hosting this on their own separate servers?
I care about that more than federation.


I’m emphasizing breaking free from identity ties to devices enforced by the hardware/radio. Not adding it to all devices.
It also limits open source competition in the phone market.


And the hardware. Your phone requires much harder power optimization in order to have a usable battery life. Same for size and heat dissipation.
Also politics related to the radio connection. Public cellular is tied to identity. It is structurally hostile to user-controlled, fully open, deeply optimized devices because the radio stack is certification-heavy, operator-governed, and privacy-hostile.


There’s also netbird which has reverseproxy setup options recently in addition to the wireguard mesh.

Do you want database features? Or just markdown style note organization?


People put doom on microwaves, I’d call that general purpose computing.
After reading that… it only pertains to commercially licensed?
If switching from Windows or Mac and you want to keep similar UI for easy transition, check out ZorinOS. A friend of mine recently installed Zorin OS Core w/ nvidia drivers and is enjoying it so far.


To drive up fake usage numbers for justifying the bubble they created to shareholders.
Or LLM cleanroom copy it, like the internet did when claude code source was leaked into other languages like rust
