Hi everyone! I've been working on a personal project to create a desktop virtual assistant that doesn't rely on the cloud. I wanted something that felt like JARVIS but kept my data 100% private. Brain: It uses Ollama as the backend, so you can run models like Llama 3, Mistral, or Phi-3 locally. Interface: Built with PyQt6 featuring a "holographic" glassmorphism effect (transparent and sleek).
It felt overwhelming—hundreds of tabs were open across my browser, each representing a piece of information I once deemed crucial. I had become a digital hoarder, accumulating resources with no plan to revisit them. It was time to act, and that’s when I stumbled upon Notion Web Clipper. As a developer based in Batam, Indonesia, my days often blur together as I juggle coding, learning, and keeping
This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Part 2 (coming soon): Connecting to spoke clusters from a controller using multicluster-runtime, driven by ClusterProfile. The Cluster Inventory API (multicluster.x-k8s.io) is driven by SIG-Multicluster and centered on the ClusterProfile resource. It only delivers value when something produces those ClusterProfiles. That something is a cluster manager. Today, t
When developers travel, we usually prepare the obvious things. Laptop charger. But there is one dependency that is easy to underestimate until it breaks: mobile internet. A trip to China makes this especially obvious. Not because China is hard to travel in, but because so many basic interactions are mobile-first: navigation, translation, ride-hailing, hotel communication, ticket confirmations, pay
A backup job missed 24 days of runs. Nobody knew. The CronJob looked fine in kubectl get cronjobs. No alerts fired. The last successful run timestamp in the status field just sat there, quietly getting older. The root cause: the CronJob controller had silently given up scheduling after missing 100 runs. Logged an error. Stopped trying. Moved on. This article explains why Kubernetes CronJobs are st
We've been there. JSON Schema gets hard to write as soon as your payload is non-trivial. Conditional logic, cross-field rules, business invariants, and at some point we stop writing contracts at all. We go code-first, generate the schema from annotations, and end up with 200 lines very few understand, and error messages referencing paths like #/properties/items/allOf/0/then/Then that map to nothin
GitHub Copilot is more than just an AI coding assistant; it's a productivity superpower for many developers, promising to streamline workflows and accelerate delivery. Yet, as a recent GitHub Community discussion vividly illustrates, the path to actually subscribing to this powerful tool can sometimes be a frustrating maze of unexpected billing hurdles and unresponsive support. At devActivity, we
