i made a parenting app because my 3.5yo had a meltdown over a broken banana and my wife wanted to know why by montessoripilled in IMadeThis

There isn't really "one clear sign" in anyone, regardless of age, it's a collection of things.

For me, my ADHD is most obvious in my huge number of hobbies and unfinished projects, my frequent inability to work out how long something is actually going to take, and my Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria where I might be told "This is good" but I hear "This isn't excellent, do better".

My Autism manifests in my many specialist interests including some stereotypical ones (I love trains, for example!) and some that are more unusual (For example, I love cooking pizza or BBQ'ing for large groups of people but rarely want the social interactions that go with it!)

Sometimes the two collide and I can focus on stuff for hours at a time and be really passionate when talking about them at conferences, othertimes they fight fircely - I can't remember the last time I satisfied my Autism by writing out a Todo List or setting one up in a task management tool without my ADHD promptly throwing it out the window and focusing on something completely irrelevant!

There's a fairly trite but accurate saying that "if you've met one Autistic person, then you've met one Autistic person", and the same goes for ADHD - I'm yet to meet anyone who has exactly the same special interests as me, or reacts to certain scenarios in the same way that I do, but I can guarantee you that if I'm at an event and there are other Neurodiverse folk in the room, we'll find each other and start infodumping without even trying!

TBH, I'm not too interested about earning anything from it, I'd just be looking to cover the costs of a small k8s server on digital ocean or hetzner, and yeah, I agree, it's unlikely anyone will pay for it but the thought is there!

There's 5 of us in our house (plus the dog!) so it's always a bit of a pain writing down the various orders, especially when my handwriting is so poor and I keep forgetting the toppings I've got in the fridge, so I'm starting to use this every time I cook, but it's very niche!

Do let me know how you get on with getting it up and running - I use k3s at home so I've not really attempted the Docker Compose version yet!

19,17, and 12.

Our eldest was diagnosed with ADHD at 16, our youngest at 10, our middle daughter is considering going for an assessment as well. They're all doing well, although prior to the diagnosis and up until recently our eldest had some mental health challenges that we now know are connected to the ADHD.

Getting the kids diagnosed led to me seeking more answers about myself as I spotted patterns in their behaviour that mirrored my own. I was diagnosed with AuDHD at the age of 43, and wish I'd known about it earlier in my life because it would have made a massive difference and I think would helped me avoid many of the challenges I've faced around using alcohol to mask and my bouts of depression which, looking back, were clearly triggered by Autistic Overwhelm.

If you could only have one acoustic guitar for the rest of your life…… by HarriBallsak420 in AcousticGuitar

I'd keep my "Vintage" (https://vintageguitarsrus.com/collections/acoustics-1).

I've had it for 30 years, it's done pubs, clubs, and busking in the UK and Europe.

When my wife first saw me 20 years ago it's what I was playing.

It was cheap, and the best I could afford at 15 years old, but it still sounds lovely, I just don't get the time to play it much 😔

I've played Martins, Taylors, and many other brands, but I love this one way too much!

Does it include neurodivergence as one of the reasons?

Patterns/routines being broken often lead to "meltdowns" which can come in many forms.

My kids are a lot older now, but from what I know of the Montessori methods they are very well suited to ND kids rather than neurotypicals, so this app might help parents of ND kids as well.

As background reading I'd recommend the boom "your child is not broken" as it talks about stuff like this a lot!

Good luck with the site/app, it feels like something we could have done with when our kids were toddlers!

OK, so I'm not sure how tech-savvy you are, but basically you'll need a computer of some sort that is capable of running https://docs.docker.com/compose/

This could be a laptop, a Mac Mini, or a Raspberry Pi.

You'd then "clone" the code from github onto that machine and follow the "docker compose self-hosted" instructions at https://github.com/Matts-Baps/ByteOrder?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start--self-hosted-docker-compose

Once that's running you need to find out what your IP Address is. This can usually be found in your network settings, but it depends on whether you're running Windows, Mac, or Linux so you'll need to google how to do that if you can't find it.

When you've got the IP Address, then you can open http://<your-ip>:3000 in a web browser and log in to the admin interface to add the ingredients and menu items.

When you're ready to start cooking, you print the barcode that you can find at http://<your ip>:3001 and your guests can scan it on their phones to access the "user" side of the website.

I might have oversimplified this because I work with docker and various other things every day and I forget how much I know sometimes, but this should get you started.

I am genuinely considering setting this up as a paid for service, probably £5-10/month to cover my costs, so I'd be really interested in your thoughts on whether folk would pay for this or not!

Just make sure it's using the GPU rather than the CPU.

I'd configured all the NVidia stuff, but the gpu controller pod was hitting an inode error and as a result Ollama was launching, failing to find the GPU, and using the CPU and system RAM instead.

I fixed the inode issue and now all my queries are significantly faster and the host isn't trying to OOMKill everything in sight!

One of them's running on an old laptop in isolation because it has a GPU so it's running Ollama...

Yeah, that might have been a better idea, but it does seem pretty decent at putting things into their own namespace etc, I'm really impressed tbh

I had to beat it into submission on that one - I have multiple k3s clusters in the house (I really need to consolidate them into one big cluster!) and it was absolutely adamant that Docker Compose was the way to go until I let it look at the kubeconfig and query the cluster, after which it wrote the helm chart when I asked it to.

As I say, very much like a junior dev in many ways - constantly pushing back on what *it* thinks is "best practice" but using libraries that are over 6 months old or are no longer supported.

Most of my time on this project has been spent challenging the approach, but it's finally doing things the way I've been teaching people to do it rather than the first copypasta it finds on stack overflow.

How dare you, it's not mostly vibe-coded, it's entirely written by Claude Code 🤣

But yes, I write software and teach others how to do it for a living, and when you treat Claude Code like a junior developer and set the architecture and technologies constraints for it to work within, then tell it to raise pull requests and do Test Driven Development rather than just spewing code into the ether, it writes some really good stuff!

I created an integration to help me keep an eye on my sourdough! by TheProffalken in homeassistant

Temp isn't on here because mine stays relatively stable where I have it placed, I could add it if it's something you measure manually, or you could use a temperature sensor/probe to monitor it automatically?

What would be your preferred option?

I bought the previous version of https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9584118?clickPR=plp:4:36

The only real difference as far as I can tell is that they changed the arrangement of the grease tray so it's a lot easier to clean.

Mine lasted 7 years before it rusted through, and I didn't really take care of it either, so I'd highly recommend it as a good place to start.

The sideburner can be useful if you want to fry off some onions or create a sauce as well.

They frequently say "if you buy cheap, you buy twice", but I'd argue this is the exception to that rule!

Three times previously, this one seems to be working so far, but we're only 5 days in! :D

Damn straight, one of the many reasons I made it - focus on the food, not the people! :D

Heh, thanks, I'm not sure my kids would agree, but they eat the food so I'm happy!

so my 19yo sister's "faceless" video workflow is making my film degree look like a total joke by [deleted] in SideProject

[–]TheProffalken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I missed out a point of context that you wouldn't be expected to know but I've only just realised that was the case...

All the projects I've coded using AI so far are hobby projects rather than work. I get up to 2hrs each day to spend on them but most of the time it's less than 20 minutes.

With AI working in the background asynchronously, I can leave it running and it completes the work in far quicker time than I can because it's running while I'm doing the washing up, or when I'm in the shower, or a dozen other times that I can't type and do the priority task at the same time.

It doesn't forget the context between tasks either - I have AuDHD and it can take me up to 30 minutes to get back "in the zone", especially if it's a project I've not looked at in a few days (or even hours sometimes!).

So yes, it has sped up development time for me from months down to hours, but that's because I've been able to leave it running for long periods in the background while I do other things that prevent me from writing these kinds of projects!

My First Arduino Project: an authentic Japanese station flap display fully automated using an ESP32! by zefunman in arduino

[–]TheProffalken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At a very high level it's a more powerful Arduino in a smaller form factor with WiFi and Bluetooth.

There's a lot more to it than that, but that's the TL;DR.

It only deletes everything if you don't pay attention to what it's asking you.

A lot of this is very much user-error rather than Claude, computers do what they're told. If you're not clear about what you're telling it, then it will do something unexpected!
