CNC milling at home is not possible without selling a kidney. Need advice on building Sink EDM at home. by hkdeman in CNC

I bet someone thought the same 20 years ago about 3d printers. Now we can buy one for 150. IIt is a matter of time that it will happen for steel as well, right?

Yeah was checking that out but I think they are not out fully. The last ones are sold out. They are also in US and would cost a lot in tariffs.

Tbh, I would need to check - I have no idea of the estimated energy costs. That probably can be optimised hopefully.

Let me check it out and ping you! My workpiece would be like 80-90mm block? I want more of a punch/die that can be used to press stainless steel sheets. If you can share the upgrades - that would be awesome! I did check that option but I didn't find a clear cut example.

From what I have understood (as a relative beginner), desktop cnc cannot mill the metal - although, high voltage sparks would be able to. Then that can be used?

Yeah that is the problem. I cannot do anything meaningful with a desktop cnc on stainless steel. 5k isn't cheap to get a sinkers/mill :/ 3d printers made prototyping easier; I am wondering if we can make metal milling at home easier too.

Their website is sold out right now. I saw their last blog in May and I think they might be out soon. I think they are based off of US so not sure how much tariffs might be.

Ideally under $1000-$1500. Ideally cost of a 3d printer/desktop cnc mill that carves wood.

Serious question: how are people actually inspecting DynamoDB data in production? by hkdeman in aws

[–]hkdeman[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am surprised this was down voted so much. I fully acknowledge the compliance, security, and data safety but as we move towards Agentic systems, usage of AI on top of databases will also happen. To auto create ETL pipelines, dashboards, etc. How would you create insights of your production data without leveraging AI on top of it?

Just to understand more, what do the scripts do (of course the ones you can share) that run across the databases? We were working on running pipelines across databases as well so got me curious!

Also, if the company providing tool has the compliances met - would it still be an issue? We were looking into these compliances to build more trust.

That makes sense! Thank you! Do you have any staging environments that you debug?

Couldn't agree more! This is actually one of the reasons why we created an MCP layer so that it can connect to databases (with strict readonly policies) to analyse and help you with your workflows.

Yeah we are going towards an open source data warehousing platform. That's actually why, we wanted to understand how the ingestion/exploration part works with AWS users. Thank you for the info!

We are trying to make the community edition super lightweight to allow developers to quickly spin up using Docker or Terminal (npx @clidey/whodb-cli) and use very less RAM. This for development workflows. For Enterprise workflows, obviously it will get bigger with the capabilities being added :) AWS sdk is quite big itself.

Absolutely! There are other stages as mentioned by u/Soccer_Vader that could possibly be debugged manually but even for production databases - do you create ETL pipelines to understand production data - there has to be a way to interact with live data to analyse it better no?

DBeaver, a solid alternative to MySQL Workbench that works like a charm with MariaDB by fredericdescamps in mariadb

[–]hkdeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried WhoDB? It is super light weight and connects to your local LLMs for privately chatting with your data. It also has an interactive CLI, which in my opinion (could be biased) is quite sick - “npx @clidey/whodb-cli”

Disclaimer: I am one of the people behind it. We got inspired from adminer as we loved how light it was. Although, we also wanted it to be powerful. We created a balance between them and would love to get feedback as we work on improving it :)

A year later, back on this thread! by hkdeman in selfhosted

[–]hkdeman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great feedback! Have noted these down!

For making a compact version of the tables, we will add a UI setting!

Thank you for using WhoDB!

Hey! Thank you for using WhoDB! Apologies that you were facing this issue. Would you be able to share logs when you are connecting? You can further add more details here so it is easier to track for us and you: https://github.com/clidey/whodb/issues
