Built an open-source AI agent engine that works well with local models. Thought this community would appreciate the Ollama integration and the cost-saving features. **How it works with local models:** EDDI treats all LLM providers the same through a unified config. Point it at your Ollama instance and it just works. No code changes, just set the provider to "ollama" and the base URL in your agent config. **Model cascading (the interesting part):** You can chain models in sequence. Start with a small/cheap local model, check the confidence of the response, and only escalate to a larger or cloud model if needed. Per-conversation cost caps prevent runaway spending if you do mix lo...

I've just had to use a food bank for the first time in my life. I'm not on an amazing wage (£26k, so basically UK minimum wage*) Things had been tolerable until February when my partner's benefits were paused (she is unable to work due to a severe injury) whilst she is referred for a work capability assessment, we have no idea when this will be done, so we've been down to only my wage for the last two months. I've had to take out a loan to bridge the gap, and this week I realised I cannot live like this any more and requested help from the food bank. I've gone down there, and I appreciate what I've been given but I feel awful because I am in work, my lif...

Hey everyone, We’ve just shipped **Nanocoder 1.25.0**, a major release focused on making AI collaboration feel faster and more useful in real development workflows. One of the biggest additions is **subagents**: Nanocoder can now delegate complex work into isolated child conversations, making it much better at tackling larger tasks without losing the thread. # Highlights **Yolo mode** For the moments when confirmation prompts just slow things down, Yolo mode auto-accepts every tool without exception. Unlike auto-accept mode, that includes things like bash execution and other potentially destructive operations, so it’s powerful but very much use-with-care. You can switch between **no...

Copper supply is heavily concentrated in a few regions. Roughly two-thirds of global production comes from countries like Chile, Peru, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Demand, meanwhile, is spread across the world and still rising. Europe imports around 60% of its copper concentrate. The United States also relies on imports due to limited new large-scale mine development. That imbalance creates a simple pressure point. Future supply becomes harder to replace than future demand. NovaRed Mining (NRED) sits at the very early part of that supply pipeline. It is an exploration-stage company working in British Columbia’s Quesnel belt, with the Wilmac project located about 10 km from the...

I need to ship and store my Magnifica. The process will take about 4 months, so it will sit in a box for a while. I've run the machine until it sounds like it doesn't have any beans in it. Run it until the "add water" light comes on. Removed and cleaned the brew head and trays. I'm letting it sit open for a couple days. Is there a better or different way to remove water from the system? Is there a way to ensure no beans are left in the unit? Is there anything else I should clean? How should I ship the unit? Should it be all put back together or pack/ship parts separately (or a combination of the two? ChatGPT was as useful as a screen door on a submar...

Hey r/indiegaming — I built EWF RIPPED TCG. It's a single-player wrestling TCG/GM sim that runs entirely in the browser (no install, no account, just launch and play. AI ONLY used to help with code and images as real wrestlers or people cannot be used) **What it actually is:** You're a wrestling promoter. You open card packs, build a roster of 85 wrestlers, book matches, manage injuries, chase championships, and grow your promotion from a bingo hall to a world-class empire. **The parts I'm most proud of:** 🎙️ **AI commentary** — Two broadcasters (I.R and Hank, who occasionally mentions his ex-wife Linda) call every match live using Claude AI. Every recap is unique...

**TL;DR:** Q1 was intense. New hardware engineer, PCBs redesigned from scratch, smaller enclosure, firmware is running, and I have been testing the app daily for weeks. In Q3, I want to launch a limited beta, and I need your honest feedback on it. Hey, it is time for a proper founders update. Q1 2026 is done and it was the most intense quarter I have had during this project so far. Exhausting, a lot to learn from, but in the end exactly what we needed. Let me start with something honest: The year began with a change of our hardware engineer. It wasn't an easy decision, but today I know it was the right one. What really sticks with me: I should have made it much earlier. I held on too...

Qualcuno sa come funziona questa cosa? La app è gratis serve per tenere traccia degli abbonamenti (Netflix, Spotify, Palestra, prime ecc.) e funziona bene per quello. Ma c’è una parte che non capisco bene: dice che crea un “portafoglio digitale europeo” con la mia identità verificata, tipo che posso usarla su altri siti senza reinserire i dati. come funziona questa cosa? Volevo usarla per il comune che già c’è il banner eIDAS. Si chiama MiaiD, l’ho trovata su App store.

I am thinking about starting a handyman business on the side, at least as a weekend business for now, and I would really like honest advice from people who actually do this. For background, I am a veteran. I am also a landlord, and I have always serviced and repaired my own properties. I currently work as a software engineer, but I do not know how long that will last. The white-collar job market feels shaky, big businesses keep firing people, and I am getting more and more uncomfortable relying on one income path that feels outside of my control (rentals do not cashflow very much more of a retirement strategy). Part of why I am thinking about this is that I want to hedge myself. I want anot...

Hey guys, In my new Lenovo LOQ and while inspecting it, I noticed some pretty visible gaps around the back panel. It doesn’t look perfectly flush in a few places. I’ve attached photos showing the gaps (especially on the left side corner than the right side corner ). Also, the bottom part of the back panel feels quite flimsy. When I gently lift or press on it, it makes this annoying ticking/clicking sound, like it’s not seated properly or the clips are loose. Is this normal on the LOQ series? I’ve seen some people mention build quality issues, but I’m not sure if gaps + this kind of flimsy bottom panel is common or if I just got a bad unit. Should I just live with it or take it ...

This whole situation is so ridiculous that I feel like being a bit theatrical with it, so forgive any unnecessary rhetoric. I also want to set it up into three Acts since I see there being three pretty distinct time periods for this event. **Act I** My friend and I are really into a popular television show, and for Christmas 2025, I wanted to get him a replica of a knife from the show. I found a version of it on an ecommerce site that I'll call "Replica Republic" (no relation to the replica jewelry company that is apparently located in Liverpool). The knife was advertised in this way: * Zinc alloy hilt material * Damascus steel blade material * Weighing approximately 15.4 o...

You might be thinking about doing the classic "community college hack" where you fill out a fake application to get a free student email. Let me stop you right there, because **I’ve tried it, and it’s a nightmare in 2026.** Colleges have completely caught on to this trick. Here is what actually happens if you try it the "free" way today: ❌ **The Waiting Game:** You spend hours filling out long admission forms, only to wait 2-3 weeks for a response. ❌ **The Identity Wall:** Almost all colleges now require an SSN (Social Security Number) or strict ID verification. If you fake it, you get auto-rejected. ❌ **The Sudden Ban (The Worst Part):** Even if you somehow s...

Hi! I’m currently looking for a part-time or full-time opportunity where I can help businesses grow through social media, content creation, and paid ads. Here’s a quick background of what I do: • Social Media Management (Facebook, Instagram) • Content Creation & Posting (engaging captions, graphics, posters) • Facebook Ads / Lead Generation Campaigns • Responding to inquiries (comments, DMs, ad messages) • Basic customer qualification and lead handling • Coordination with team for conversions (sales/booking support) **Recent Experience:** * Worked with a company handling **insurance claims and auto services (Canada-based)** * Created multiple ad creative...

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong subreddit to post this in, but I am currently on vacation in Chiba City, and have been to quite a few stores in malls here and in Tokyo (including Chiyoda, Shinjuku, Shibuya) and even the Tomica store in Chiyoda, but I have not been able to find children’s bucket hats made by Tomica. I once saw a family on the train with a son/young boy with a bucket hat with Tomica and thought it would make a great gift. Thank you

We went live on the App Store yesterday. 100% vibe coded. My first app and vibe coded project. As someone who picks up their wife from an LIRR station 4x a week, I wanted to create an improvement to our usual pickup flow, which was my wife texts me "I'm on the 5:45". Then I had to look up in the app to see when the train arrives, and also check in to make sure its not running late. I wanted all this information to appear as Live Activites on my iPhone lock screen with real time train data. Unfortunately, the offical MTA app does not this feature, so i decided to make this my first vibe coding expereince. I used Claude Code to not only develop [OnTrain](https://apps.a...

Hey friends, I would like to get your insights and assistance. I'm considering adding a \[Gallet & Co.\] Swiss chronograph wristwatch to my collection. This particular piece is from approximately the 1940s to 1950s era, and honestly i like the chronograph watches of this time period, it is featuring a 34.5mm case diameter excluding the crown. It is a manual wind watch with a 'Champion' badge visibly displayed on the dial. The dealer's asking price is a firm $2,000. I would value your opinion on several aspects: how straightforward it is to service this model for future prospective, the availability of replacement parts, whether the asking price is reasonable give...

If you’ve been hanging around the travel rewards world for more than five minutes, you’ve probably heard the buzz about the Chase Aeroplan® Credit Card. For a long time, it was the "quiet overachiever" of airline cards. But with the current 75,000-point welcome offer and a specific focus on automatic elite status, it’s moved straight to center stage. But here’s the thing: everyone talks about the points. 75,000 points is a lot, enough for a round-trip to Europe or a stack of short-haul flights across North America. However, the real conversation piece is the **automatic 25K Elite Status**. Usually, "status" is something you earn by spending half your life in an...
