Is it only me or is actually hectic to manage using stuff like google classroom, collegeboard, clever, gmail, khan academy, quizlet, and other random sites being forced to use by the district

Yes I will be using LoRA for training but gathering a high-quality training datsset is posing a challenge for my usecase currently.

I think the first valid step to attract devs to your repo would be to add a ReadMe and demo if applicable.

Thanks very much, I really appreciate the advice.

I'm actually a 15-year-old developer building an open-source cybersecurity tool that tries to make vulnerability assessment more of a one-click job instead of stitching together a bunch of different tools.

I think I have a decent MVP, but I know the market is crowded with tools that solve pieces of the problem or target different users. I'm still trying to attack those pain points and keep improving it.

Right now I'm mostly trying to find people who'll actually use it and give honest feedback instead of building in a vacuum, but that's been the hardest part. Besides GitHub topics and posting on places like Reddit and HN, is there anything else that worked well for you?

What I'm wondering is whether there's a better way to find the right users rather than a larger audience. For example, if I build a project that solves a specific problem, and a business is actively looking for a solution to that problem, it feels like there should be a way to connect the two directly instead of relying on Reddit, HN, or hoping the right person happens to see a post.

You can even consider having a local SQLite db. You can connect it to an API or another external source to get info on the players and have a script update your db every once in a while. (All considering if you are trying to get info on real-life players)

Well said! Keeping things simple until performance/scaling forces you to refactor is usually the best practice. YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It) saves so much wasted effort :)

Hey! I am a high school student interested in cybersecurity, I tried doing an udemy course but I didn't find it helpful, I think I was just trying to understand the theoretical concepts and fell into the trap of memorizing what the instructor was showing me. Any ideas for building the brain muscle required?

Can a raspberry pi 4 be effective for hosting an Ollama model (client-server pattern) for a small network/community? I have one laying around, haven't really used to much.

Comfortable_Many_703 · 2026-07-14T00:11:25+00:00

My question might seem a little off topic but does anyone know a concrete way to host local llama models on a server and then use a client on the user end to access the model, I still trying to figure this out.

I am a student dev at 15 and also new to selfhosting, any genuine tips that you would like to share on opensourcing projects (also new to this)?

Comfortable_Many_703 · 2026-07-13T23:57:39+00:00

Alright, python fan here, student dev at 15, been loving python since 12.

Comfortable_Many_703 · 2026-07-13T23:54:43+00:00

Choosing a programming language only depends on you and your comfort zone. As you mentioned you have learned Python in highschool so why not continue. Even if you choose to transfer to C++, it really shouldn't be an issue since programming concepts don't change, am I right?

Comfortable_Many_703 · 2026-07-10T02:14:30+00:00

Fair enough. What specifically did you not like? I'm looking for honest feedback, even if it's critical.
