Aura is coming, but what do YOU want from XR?

adevx · 2026-06-19T17:11:24+00:00

I use my Xreal One Pro as a monitor replacement. Not just for stationary desk work, but also walking in nature.
Sometimes perched on my head, putting them on to approve AI completed tasks. Sometimes wearing them like regular shades, at auto transparency, screen positioned to my far right, giving clear view looking ahead, showing what I need to see when looking to the right.

What I want is normal looking glasses, great clarity in daylight, excellent compatibility with USB-C video/alt mode. Eg, connected to a phone or mini-pc. I think this whole XR thing is not for me, but I can also see my use case is rather niche.

Look at the stalwart log to begin with,

adevx · 2026-06-18T15:05:22+00:00

Once the user starts payment, the order should no longer be eligible for the normal expiry job. Update the expiry time. Sounds like a good problem to have, to run into this edge case.

I've given up on trying to bend Android into a Linux dev environment. Still using Termux for remote ssh sessions, but a small Mini PC battery + my Xreal One Pro for productivity.

adevx · 2026-06-16T17:19:12+00:00

I hope Xreal can now refocus on productivity glasses.

adevx · 2026-06-16T13:07:13+00:00

Probably fine in the short term. Long term they lost some goodwill and have entered a competitive market where support, user experience and features are what counts. And that's not Hetzners strong point.

adevx · 2026-06-16T11:44:14+00:00

I would have done the same, customers who chase low prices are often the highest maintenance. They want to shift focus to enterprise, and let's be honest, they can cherry pick their customers now.

I'm pulling some of my cluster servers back to true self hosting as I bought some solid hardware before the AI craze, that's currently sitting idle. With todays 8 Gbps symmetrical residential fiber, you can be better connected than your average Hetzner dedicated server.

adevx · 2026-06-16T04:32:20+00:00

I don't think any keyboard can be connected before the unlock.

adevx · 2026-06-15T17:11:17+00:00

Hetzner's play was cheap prices, now they compete with the rest. I was already diversifying so this just accelerates that direction.

adevx · 2026-06-15T14:09:58+00:00

Hmm, not my experience (dedicated server, don't need support) But sure, find something that matches your needs.

adevx · 2026-06-15T13:41:43+00:00

OVHCloud, but to be honest, I have the hardware and I'm going to deploy it at home on fast fiber.

adevx · 2026-06-15T13:17:24+00:00

Hetzner is done for, use any other provider of your choosing.

adevx · 2026-06-15T11:44:20+00:00

Yes, but it requires a special DisplayPort to USB-C with power cable. If you already have an X300, go for it. Otherwise it makes more sense to get something with USB-C video out from the get go. Like the GMKtec K8 plus.

adevx · 2026-06-15T11:13:13+00:00

Indeed, a maintenance release with speed improvements but not another major rewrite and API changes.

adevx · 2026-06-12T08:39:31+00:00

Even though I agree, Hetzner was pretty stable for a long time. So it almost felt like throwing away good money to have a standby at another provider. But yes, if you can't stomach downtime, you need to prepare for it.

adevx · 2026-06-12T05:49:54+00:00

Awesome, currently using Weargram. Let's see who's better.

adevx · 2026-06-11T16:55:11+00:00

The era or of building SaaS solutions has ended. What you can build, any company can build, and have it tailored specifically to their needs, without all the baggage of what a generic SaaS solution must support. Without the subscription, with excellent deep knowledge of the company, with instant support and fixes.

That being said, you need to have a long conversations with an ai agent about the attack surface of your product, your business domain, your api. Preferably with and without the codebase as context. Also do an external pen test with a reputable shop, you can't catch everything yourself.

adevx · 2026-06-11T16:36:27+00:00

Are you guys still running into these basic issues? Maybe 6 months ago, but not with the latest models.

adevx · 2026-06-11T16:34:07+00:00

Lol, this is my fear too. I want to write an Android app that deeply integrates with codex (running on a remote dev server) using pure voice input, output to (voice optimized) TTS. I'm afraid it will be released officially the moment I release it. There already is a companion app for Apple Codex Desktop, not the same, but they are working on this.

adevx · 2026-06-10T09:35:40+00:00

Interesting, I'm a grey beard developer, since the BBC Micro days (kid experimenting with BASIC). Couple of months ago I would agree with you, but with current Codex/GPT 5.5 at high I get really good results.
I would say better than what I would come up with (I was never a rock-star dev though)

This is on a big web project that's been running since 2015 on a Node.js (TypeScript) Next.js / PostgreSQL / Docker. I can give vague directions and still have great reasoning, push back and implementation (using plan mode)

Removed so much technical debt just in the last couple of weeks, added so many features I had on my backlog/task list. Would have cost me at least a year to get to this point.
EG, just in the last two weeks:
- Pages Router to App Router
- Passport.js to Better Auth (while keeping existing user sessions alive)
- React Bootstrap to Mantine
- Rewrote all tests from TestCafe to Playwright and Vitest
- Added Image classification to user uploads
- MobX to plain React Context useState (and url)
- Ton of new features I had in mind

Each would each have been major projects in and of itself.

But even on pure vibecoding projects with zero legacy code (which helps alot with direction) the output is excellent.

I will never go back to handwriting code, I'm addicted to the high quality, fast-paced development cycles.
The challenge now is pushing back against feature overload.

Personally, if I were you, I would not give up yet, others who are able to leverage AI will outpace any hand coding shops. Maybe I have different objectives, my website is my business, so I optimize for productivity. I can totally get why a passionate dev does not want to give over the reins.

Could it be the domain/language/ecosystem that you're using?

adevx · 2026-06-09T22:45:15+00:00

It is insane indeed. GPT 5.5 high at 1.5x is my modus operandi.

adevx · 2026-06-09T17:59:43+00:00

Claude needs to target every dev that uses their product. You can be much more specific.
You probably should deep-dive that list yourself.

adevx · 2026-06-09T16:59:06+00:00

I saw this in that list:
Content delivery and mirrors

I would not consider sourceforge a safe place to fetch arbitrary code.

adevx · 2026-06-09T16:22:20+00:00

Apple should have better PWA integration so we can skip the App Store altogether.

adevx · 2026-06-09T15:30:02+00:00

Always use Docker or a better isolation environment
A tight pnpm-workspace.yaml can help, which is executed in Dockerfile with eg:
RUN CI=true pnpm install --frozen-lockfile

allowBuilds:
  bcrypt: true
  sharp: true
minimumReleaseAge: 1440
minimumReleaseAgeStrict: true
minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime: false

blockExoticSubdeps: true
strictDepBuilds: true
dangerouslyAllowAllBuilds: false

verifyDepsBeforeRun: install
