This ensures that my NAS will safely shut down during a power outage if the UPS battery gets low, and it also allows other… ## [Why I Built FoodieTrack](https://alwynsoh.com/blog/posts/why-i-built-foodietrack/) _2026-06-27 · Alwyn Soh | Blog_ FoodieTrack is a Telegram-based meal tracker built to make logging meals quick, simple, and effortless. 🌐 https://foodietrack.com 🤖 https://foodietrack.app The Problem Most meal tracking apps have one thing in common: they ask you to do too much.

The argument was: the world is running out of IP addresses (ie, IPv4)! We can only have 4 billion IP addresses at once, which decades ago seemed fine, but now we can easily envision running out. So, the powers that be created IPv6. Instead of IPv4 addresses which look like this: 201.153.26.8 We get addresses like this:… ## [PhotoSorter Released](https://kunat.dev/notes/photosorter-release/) _2026-04-30 · kunat.dev_ tl;dr PhotoSorter is a tiny macOS utility for sorting loose images into folders with keyboard shortcuts. I built PhotoSorter for myself a few months ago because I needed a faster way to clean up folders full of random images. By “photo library” I mean photos managed by Photos on macOS, Google Photos, or any other actual photo management app. PhotoSorter is for everything outside of… ## [Tea with (Soy) Milk](https://adamu.jp/blog/tea_with_soy_milk) _2026-04-26 · adamu.jp_ Being raised British, I've always drank (drunk?) black tea with milk. The standard British tea is a fairly cheap mass-market powdered black tea, common brands being PG Tips, Tetley, and Yorkshire tea. It usually produces a strong, bitter taste, and is ready after just a few seconds of brewing. Here in Japan the equivalent is probably Day & Day , which is pretty decent. Even Lipton is not bad… ## [LLMs, Competence, and Institutional Knowledge](https://adamu.jp/blog/llms_competence_institutional_knowledge) _2026-04-21 · adamu.jp_ I think I've identified the core reason I instinctively dislike LLMs. I strongly value competence. This applies institutionally as well as societally, not just individually. In a competent society, things just work. You can take a hot shower because there is clean water and flammable gas piped into your home, a device on premise that burns the gas in a safe, controlled way to heat the water, and a… ## [How to Set Up OpenClaw — Your Personal AI Agent](https://alwynsoh.com/blog/posts/how-to-setup-openclaw/) _2026-04-05 · Alwyn Soh | Blog_ OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant that runs on your own machine, connects to messaging platforms, and can automate tasks, check emails, manage calendars, and more. Unlike cloud-based AI assistants, OpenClaw runs locally — giving you control over your data and flexibility in how your AI assistant behaves.

Not only do we feed the social media machines of big corporations when we do that. If it’s any “good”, it gets copied immediately. And AI bots will scoop it up in 0.001 seconds. It’s instantly stolen, if you like. But fine art, the kind that makes you think perhaps, the kind that perhaps captures a truth that is hard to put… ## [Managing Sonarr and Radarr on the Go with Ruddarr for iOS](https://kunat.dev/notes/ruddarr-ios/) _2026-03-29 · kunat.dev_ It’s been almost three years since I set up Sonarr and Radarr on my NAS. Both do an amazing job managing my media library, and the setup has been rock solid. The only part I never enjoyed was managing the library on the go. If you’re building a similar setup, these posts might help: My Synology Setup Configuring Tailscale Subnet Routing to Access Docker Containers by LAN IP Setting Up… ## [I Don't use Google Search Anymore](http://www.lukaszielinski.de/blog/posts/2026/03/17/i-dont-use-google-search-anymore/) _2026-03-17 · Lukas Z's Blog_ I noticed that I haven’t used Google Search in a long time.. Instead, I go to http://google.com/ai and get my answers (and links if needed) there. I don’t wish to ever go back. ## [Never miss a game (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/cXFyBjHSsxOm) _2026-03-17 · **Sponsored**_ Follow any team; get an hour and one-minute web and email reminders. ## [I Made an App For Analog Photographers](http://www.lukaszielinski.de/blog/posts/2026/03/16/i-made-an-app-for-analog-photographers/) _2026-03-16 · Lukas Z's Blog_ This is a “scratch your own itch” app for photography. It’s called Graupe, a portmanteau of “Grain” (as in analog film grain) and “Loupe” (as in the magnifying device you can use to spot the grain). Here is the App Store link: Graupe for iOS Features: depth of field calculation (for zone focusing) light meter (because the one on my 1970s Canon is broken) GPS photo tracking (also useful for analog… ## [Trolley Problems](http://www.lukaszielinski.de/blog/posts/2026/03/12/trolley-problems/) _2026-03-12 · Lukas Z's Blog_ This is great. Basically a long collection of variations on the Trolley Problem meme. (P.S. it took so many tries to generate that picture. And even then I had to crop out the errors. Perhaps artists are not out of work yet..) ## [Clustering of Hacker News "What Are You Working on?" Comments](http://www.lukaszielinski.de/blog/posts/2026/03/09/clustering-of-hacker-news-what-are-you-working-on-comments/) _2026-03-09 · Lukas Z's Blog_ I like to throw a bunch of text into my local LLM (currently a Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct ) and have it cluster the contents. I like to do it for polarizing topics like politics, just to get a feel for how many people on a website seem to support or oppose a thing. And here I did it for the (monthly?) “What are you working on?” thread : Notes: The quotes the LLM produces are often not verbatim,… ## [If You Can Prompt a Bot, You Can Lead a Team](http://www.lukaszielinski.de/blog/posts/2026/03/02/if-you-can-prompt-a-bot-you-can-lead-a-team/) _2026-03-02 · Lukas Z's Blog_ The catchy post title tries to summarise this: I’ve been coding with agents for a while now and one unexpected benefit is that I now have a lower barrier to tell others what to do at work. In other words: Being a manager for my AI-coworkers made me at ease with managing my colleagues. ## [Apps will disappear](http://www.lukaszielinski.de/blog/posts/2026/02/18/apps-will-disappear/) _2026-02-18 · Lukas Z's Blog_ I now think that apps as an idea could disappear at some point. Users will simply tell Siri or another tool what they want their smartphone or computer to do, and then it will be developed ad hoc. There may be some backend services, such as Yahoo Pipes, that you can or should use, but the concept of an app that you download from the store will probably disappear. But that depends on whether these… ## [What AI coding costs you](https://tomwojcik.com/posts/2026-02-15/finding-the-right-amount-of-ai/) _2026-02-15 · Tom Wojcik_ What's the effect of the prolonged AI usage among coders and is it tracked correctly, if it all? ## [Convert PDF to Markdown Locally on macOS](https://kunat.dev/notes/convert-pdf-to-markdown-on-macos/) _2026-02-12 · kunat.dev_ Today I needed to convert a PDF to Markdown on macOS. I tried CLIs I could install with brew , but none of them gave me decent output for structure and formatting. marker-pdf was the first one that consistently gave me clean Markdown, even though it required more work to set up. I used this convert.py script: #!/usr/bin/env python3 import subprocess from pathlib import Path def… ## [How to Secure SSH with Tailscale on a Linux VPS](https://alwynsoh.com/blog/posts/tailscale-ssh-vps/) _2026-02-10 · Alwyn Soh | Blog_ Your Linux VPS is probably one of your most exposed assets.

Here, the prey is time — first, the time of a person who reviews the PR; second, the time of a maintainer who will be maintaining the code after it lands in master. Pull requests are usually asymmetric \[1\] : it takes significantly less effort to write a PR, than to review it and then maintain it. But LLMs skew the asymmetry to an absurd proportion.… ## [Tailscale vs Cloudflare Tunnel: Free Tier Comparison](https://alwynsoh.com/blog/posts/tailscale-vs-cloudflare-tunnel-free-tier-comparison/) _2026-01-20 · Alwyn Soh | Blog_ Both Tailscale and Cloudflare Tunnel (cloudflared) offer free tiers that are popular among self-hosters and home lab enthusiasts.

If you only need access to a few domains, bypass the DNS layer for those domains on macOS. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This guide is for educational purposes.

As I mentioned in an earlier post , I left my job at the end of 2024, and have been unemployed all year this year.

The audience is tiny: a gym franchise in Kraków and Katowice, Poland. That’s fine. This is mostly for me.
