I've fallen down a home server rabbit hole over the past few months: - purchased an Intel N100 mini PC - running Proxmox with ~30 LXC containers and VMs - PiHole for network-wide adblocking - Paperless for document scanning, storage, and LLM-based retrieval - Home Assistant for full home automation (lights on/off based on motion, etc) - Plex for media server - nginx proxy manager for reverse proxy to expose services to internet I can understand why people love this hobby

Tried 3 new recipes for dinner, two of which ChatGPT came up with: - saffron rice pilaf - peach balsamic sous vide chicken thighs - honey thyme carrots Turned out very well overall! Quite impressed with how capable ChatGPT is at coming up with recipes

We could support 100% automated crossposting from Substack/Medium/your own blog to Paragraph if we built a way to watch your RSS feed. It’d look like this: - post on [other site] - we grab the post from the RSS feed - we republish it on your Paragraph according to predefined settings you chose (eg deliver it via email)

I blame my first point loss on not knowing I could horizontally scroll the avatars Cc @jc4p it’d be helpful to make it more obvious it’s horizontally scrollable!

Is this the first generative AI mainstream hardware device being rolled out? I have a mix of Google Homes and HomePods and have been waiting (though not holding my breath) for better AI. They can't hold a candle to ChatGPT advanced voice https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/new-alexa-generative-artificial-intelligence

Historically I've always believed the composable social graph was the core value prop as a dev building atop Farcaster: - bootstrap network effects to avoid cold start problem - better onboarding by pulling in pre-existing user info Now, I'm undecided on if the warplet + frames v2 are a better value prop: - distribution rails via in-app notifications + users "adding frame" - economic rails via Warpcast wallet - directly meeting users where they are: read, subscribe, mint without ever leaving FC - tapping into pre-existing user behavior (lots of users are sharing Paragraph links anyways! These links are now supercharged) - bootstrap network effects & better onboarding as well! Open a frame and you're already logged in + social graph already attained

Braised chuck roast for 2 hours last night to make birria tacos. Overall a bit disappointed in the taste given the amount of effort put into cooking it, but alas

Feedback on frames v2 docs & specifications after working on the Paragraph v2 frame: - events are a bit confusing: some code examples reference `Farcaster.events.on` and others reference `sdk.on` - "see full example" Github link is broken on the specs page - primaryButtonClick code example at the bottom is wrong; should be `primaryButtonClicked` - would prefer hooks over callbacks - provider configuration is confusing: connected set to true by default? immediately tries to connect on provider setup? I had to change a handful of things to get it working - overall specification is clear but a few things could be a bit clearer (SetPrimaryButton -> what does hidden/enabled do? There's also no mention of loading but there is a loading param in the code) - unclear why SDK needs to be lazy-loaded using a dynamic component vs just doing nothing on the server-side - debugging is a struggle: https://warpcast.com/colin/0x61b315b3

Inverse of the lean startup: - raise a ridiculous amount of money - don't ship product or iterate - spend a lot of time & effort on a very public, splashy launch - don't listen to users nor really talk to them at all
