Get bought out by military control grid --> Instantly kill popular consumer devices.

It's unfortunate, GoTenna was (still is) pretty cool. Beartooth is similar and you can just buy them, but they unfortunately still have military-level pricing for what is pretty simple hardware.

Though in their defense, I'm not sure GoTenna was ever "popular." Probably not enough to pay the bills, given their pivot.


Happened to my Iridium satellite messenger (for peace of mind when hiking) too... Fortunately, there are several consumer/civilian alternatives to these.

I guess anything that's useful to regular hikers is potentially also useful to the armed, abroad type of hiker, and these are usually better funded, so I can see why startups like these would pivot.


Would this be a good fit to replace FTS for hybrid search? Biscuit + Vector?


There is tons of fear-mongering around a natural process-- I had a 24 yo friend deliver his first child off grid by himself. There are also a ton of independent midwives out there where you can deliver either at home or a midwife center for a fraction of the cost.


AI is game changer for the wildly detailed ffmpeg command line-- just tell gpt what you want to do and it will spit out the ffmpeg command 10/10.


looks great! would love to see benchmark with bleve and a lightweight vector implementation.


tysm, would try pairing it with HNSW and IVF, halfway through :)


How can they tell if someone is a teen in their household vs someone else?


LLMs have really made ffmpeg implementations easy-- the command line options are so expansive and obscure it's so nice to just tell it what you want and have it spit out a crazy ffmpeg command.


I remember saving my incantation to download and convert a youtube playlist (in the form of a txt file with a list of URLs) and this being the only way to back up Chrome music bookmark folders.

Then it stopped working until I updated youtube-dl and then that stopped working once I lost the incantation :<


Check out yt-dlp. It works great.


yt-dlp works really well, and not only for YouTube ;)


No demo? No demo video? Nothing?


Hey! Quick video overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_oc1GDyhrc

Live demo to try it out: https://aiagent.tryvideosdk.live


Great project, will give it a try, we've been using another open source trello clone that has been pretty solid and very closely clones the trello UI.

Thank you! Planka is a great project, but I found the fact it closely clones Trello's UI to be its biggest downfall. I'm hoping to build on top of Trello's simplicity and customisability with a modern UI/UX interface.


Planka is awesome, too bad it's no longer Open Source.


Nice work, I like the lightweight web front end and your implementation of VAD.
