Flashpanel the simple way to deploy, manager your server.

I've been digging XPipe as an alternative to Termius.
I learned to use Kodi in 2024, probably a program most people know about but I love using it!
obsidian.md for writing my notes and docs
I'm sticking with the free version. Someone writing a book or blog might want to pay for ChatGPT premium, but I don't use it that often to need that offer. Claude's free version has a very limited usage quota, but I don't get stuck that often while coding that I'd need the paid version, maybe it's worth it if you code in an unfamiliar framework and can't afford to wait. My workflow for searches is perfectly served by Perplexity free tier, so I don't see a need to use their pro. I'm not sure what kind of person would need the Gemini pro subscription, they likely will be better served by either ChatGPT or Claude subscription.
Wow, evernote become slow these days. Will using when my evernote sub end
I learnt vps can be cheap, before I though Vultr or DO already cheap
I learn to use Linux, then mRemoteNG to manage multi servers, include rdp and vnc
Then winscp to manage files and quick open putty
Found Dbeaver is better mysql client than others that i use for years
Try several git clients git extensions still the best
Same here.
Same here, and I love it
the whole universe of AI videos generation. Insane. 2-3 years from now everyone will be able to make own movies with music etc - everything AI generated.
Indeed it is a great tool, storing the most recent backup as a normal directory structure is pretty much as good as it gets design-wise
I wish it handled renaming as well as borg does. A hybrid solution with the hashing of borg and the storage of rdiff-backup would be very interesting
Crowdsec for me love the community block lists and it's easy to white list your own ip range
Is there a recommendation to buy the cheapest nitro pdf pro lifetime key?
mRemoteNG looks good, right now, I use mobaxterm free one.
yes this aswell, i forgot to include.
after notion has become too slow, i wanted to split my content into multiple places (as nothing comes close to notion with all kind of features) then i settled with obs with most of my content.
best part is just md files, so you can use it along with vscode (cursor/windsurf) and write content and save some keystrokes with AI.
learning curve is bit high though.
Thanks for mentioning, I am heavy user of vscode, yet to add AI intelligence. I will explore cursor/windsurf, I need AI intelligence within code.
you're not alone. lol
These are great:

What sites, models and software did you use for that ?
found out duplicati finally soon will have updates...
Besides AI - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, biggest game change for me was mastering and using Github Workflow Actions allowed me to automate so much of what I do including my Centmin Mod LEMP stack automated testing for AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux and CentOS Stream for EL8 and EL9. That's 100s of tests per code commit! Eventually will add EL10 support
Discovered wonderful world of n8n AI Agent automations that I can use with my updated Prometheus /Grafana/Thanos/R2 monitoring setup which now allows me to use a chatbot to query my Cloudflare domain zone analytics https://github.com/centminmod/grafana-prometheus-thanos-monitor
There's also forked upgraded and improved csync2 V2.1.1 that I am using now https://github.com/centminmod/csync2. Took away some the pain points from ancient csync2 V2.0
Also revisited Matomo Analytics on my Centmin Mod LEMP stack https://github.com/centminmod/centminmod-Matomo. Previously used Piwik before they changed names.
Dug into wonderful world of email verification providers API and tooling with focus on Xenforo forum mail list scripted user bounce support https://github.com/centminmod/validate-emails
Wrote a more privacy centric AbuseIPDB + CSF Firewall reporting script https://github.com/centminmod/centminmod-abuseipdb-reporter. AbuseIPDB example scripts actually can leak your server IP address to their public database in certain configurations. So needed a more privacy focused script
Discovered awesome code2prompt tool to allows me to covert folders of code from a project into a single AI Bot digestible markdown file https://github.com/raphaelmansuy/code2prompt
Delved into the world of Redis forks like Keydb, Dragonfly https://github.com/centminmod/redis-comparison-benchmarks and now Valkey https://github.com/centminmod/centminmod-valkey
Created WordPress plugin and theme mirror system proof of concept using Cloudflare CDN, R2 object storage, Workers + KV store and optional Cloudflare D1 SQLite database lookup and support for Github hosted plugins that can override the mirrored plugin (in case plugin authors pull their plugin from wordpress.org) https://github.com/centminmod/wordpress-plugin-mirror-poc. Will end up using it as a private mirror as added precaution and safeguard against the the 'Mad King'.
Cloudflare D1 SQLite database
Started playing with Centmin Mod Nginx and Post-Quantum Key Exchange Agreements using new X25519MLKEM768 as it is supported by Cloudflare for origin connections https://blog.centminmod.com/2023/10/03/2860/how-to-enable-cloudflare-post-quantum-x25519kyber768-key-exchange-support-in-centmin-mod-nginx/
Oh and 3 weeks ago finally made the jump from Windows 10 to first time noob MacOS user with my first ever Apple product purchase, 14" MacBook Pro M4 Pro, 48GB, 1TB black
Been a lifelong Windows user for at home use, so there's definitely a learning curve for MacOS - especially the different keyboard shortcuts and accidentally hitting Windows ones due to muscle memory
One thing didn't realise how much time I wasted on Windows for multi-moniter setups having to rearrange app windows, sizes and positions when a monitor loses connectivity. On MacOS the app windows sizes and positions even survive shut down /start up cycles !
Old Windows 10 laptop was slowing to a crawl like apps took up to 30 to 90 seconds to load. So this Macbook is bloody fast in comparison. 2025 will be a very productive year for me I think
@eva2000 everytime you post something... There is a lotttt to learn....
Cheers. That's why I love forums as a medium of sharing and learning. Who says social media will kill community forums
NixOS, I discovered it a bit ago and now all my desktops run on it. I really don't see myself going to any other distros that doesn't have package manager like this any more.
Mountion Duck 7$ and SwifDo PDF 8$.
But I can do that for free. I just mount using the path. There is obviously something that my ADHD is not allowing me to see.
As a new MacOS user, thank you!
I also started with free versions but realised paid is way better, I have subscriptions for ChatGPT Plus, Claude AI Pro and Google Gemini Advanced. And also using OpenAI API - discovered you can get 50% discount off their gpt-4o-mini models via Batch API endpoint https://openai.com/api/pricing/ if your workflow is suited to using OpenAI Batch API and asynchronous response delays of up to 24hrs at least https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/batch. Had one subscription for Playground AI but cancelled as they moved away from AI generation to web design focus.
OpenAI gpt-4o-mini pricing vs Batch API 50% discount
gpt-4o-mini full price
gpt-4o-mini Batch API 50% discount price
I have projects consuming >3 million tokens at a time and some of their workflows lend well to Openai Batch API
Co Pilot Finance
I did not buy it, I am already using another software for which I donated a small amount and works well for my use case: https://freefilesync.org/
I have scheduled it to run every 5 minutes.
At that token consumption, better to self host models
At your home pc too?
What you like most n also missing anything from previous OS?
