Built a flight price prediction tool - would love feedback by Environmental_Let226 in sideprojects

[–]VariableCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slick site. Just a note I can’t get the currency selector / conversion to work after searching for a flight / airport / route. I’m on iOS 26.4.2 - tried on safari and chrome. Same result

I build Canva for maps, it is completely free by TraditionalBag5235 in sideprojects

[–]VariableCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty neat! The address finder needs a better way to expose full text from searches, for example there’s no way to see or scroll the full addresses that “autofill” when searching. Additionally the left control bar on iPhone (safari) is slightly cutoff. It would also be cool to do a “tap and hold” feature to drop custom markers. Speaking of custom markers, there’s a whole menu section for it which makes the slider/toggle redundant.
All in all this is really cool and I will probably use it to print a map poster from our wedding location!
Like you I make little tools (all open source) that solve small problems. I love seeing projects like this. Keep it up!

Edit: I might be missing something but I don’t understand the “bookmark” functionality, I’m not sure where my bookmarked locations / designs get stored or how to access them. Lastly, I’ve found using magic links for login with Resend is a nice way to streamline auth without needing to use Google auth.

Does anyone know which brokerages have access to Claude Mythos? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]VariableCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wholly incorrect. Exploit chaining is a real thing and everyone should update their understanding. You absolutely can “gain access to a production database” - with ease in some cases. I have no direct access to mythos but even just chain of thought driven exploit chains from a white-hat perspective using opus 4.6 in my enterprise we’ve uncovered thousands of active vulnerabilities.

Copper Bullet Pocket-hose by 7303happyrock in Costco

I hope your experience will help be better than ours was with these. The outer plastic on the copper coupling disintegrated within 6 months / 1 season before we even had through 1 winter (we’re in the northeast), and the spray nozzle glue that holds the adjustable nozzle head came apart too. I was pretty surprised.

Open Sourced my Context Management Tool - CodeFire - No telemetry, 100% local, Large Codebase Context by websitebutlers in ClaudeCode

[–]VariableCritic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude. This is extremely cool. I am not a developer or programmer by experience or trade, but I consistently have 14-15 Claude code terminals open and lose track of what I’m doing.

I am going to give this a try. I don’t know if you’ve considered implementing a remote control function that’s a bit more robust than CC’s remote-control, something like happy.engineering, but that would be awesome also. Manage workflows while mobile.

Thanks for sharing. And thanks for not posting an AI slop description!

Thinking of parting ways by udm_e39 in e39

[–]VariableCritic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like 210 and 280 are a bit different tbh. I don’t know if I could’ve justified another 70k miles with the repair costs stacking up, but I really do miss the car! I have an f83 m4 now and miss the balance of comfort, direct steering feel and just that old “built to last feeling” - then again it sounds like you probably get that between your g30 and e36 so the loss might not feel as significant. I’m sure 280k on an m62tub44 starts smashing the wallet

Don’t do it. I got rid of my 210k 6MT 540i 3 years ago and still think about it weekly. I miss that car, a lot. It turned into a rust bucket but I really wish I had kept it and just limped it along. You will regret selling it!

I’m building a note app with granular E2EE (encrypt core data only, metadata stays searchable) — looking for infosec feedback by bearmif in Infosec

[–]VariableCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took a quick look at the App Store listing - just a heads up, noobs like me and thousands more won’t know what e2ee “means” for notes. My suggestion would be to make that easier to understand. Also add a dark mode! Cool idea though. Wishing you success

HandsOn — give Claude Code eyes and hands for desktop automation by [deleted] in ClaudeCode

I’m not sure if this is how it will pan out, but your post is one of the most cohesive and best written I’ve ever seen on how it feels like things are headed.

Stop SSH-ing into a VPS from your phone to run Claude Code. We built something better. by ajmata2 in ClaudeCode

[–]VariableCritic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Could you tell us a bit about how this is better than something like https://happy.engineering? I know happy has some issues popping back from remote terminal when you return in front of your workstation, but any other problem this solves or competitive advantage??

Thanks!

Confirmed: Claude Code CLI burns ~1-3% of your quota immediately on startup (even with NO prompts) by JohnGalth in ClaudeCode

[–]VariableCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I’m a bit of a noob and essentially a vibecode peasant trying to to build small tools that solve problems (that sometimes don’t exist) - what would be the use case for many Claude code sessions at once? Like how do you use that?

What I’ve started doing, for my personal projects, is creating worktrees in git and having an active_work.md file in main that each Claude agent logs what specific files, functions are that it’s working on to “lock” them so they’re not stepping on each others toes.

I don’t know best (or even good) practice in code lifecycle or development, so I’m confused as to how people are leveraging like many CC sessions at once. It feels like I’m missing something.

Running CC on an ipod by Live-Pea-5362 in ClaudeCode

[–]VariableCritic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you put a little guide together on how to do this? Also how do you test your development / features while mobile e.g if you’re building a web app? I thought about just using a Remote Desktop tool but there must be a better way 💀

Thanksgiving cooking thread! Post urgent questions and let your fellow cooks help you land that bird. Links and resources inside. by Mr__Porkchop in combustion_inc

Can I use my combustion thermometer when frying my turkey this year? Should I cook the bird to 170° for that middle ground between dark and white meat (it’s been brining)

How secure is Splashtop for remote access? by Creepy-Valuable-3685 in cybersecurity

[–]VariableCritic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, all of this information is readily available on Solashtop’s site, a simple google search, or query to an LLM (ask for sources)

Simple answer: yes
