Hermes has these advantages over Lobster: model errors get output to the console. The gateway has logs you can check, and crucially, I know where to look. The docs are thorough — no Chinese translation, sure, but they're complete; you can find clear documentation for any issue or command. Each agent has its own separate profile config and gateway, so combinations are more flexible, and the backend can be local or remote. It runs on Docker, so it's use-and-go, with automatic directory mounting. It comes with factory settings that are beginner-friendly — you can get it running smoothly without much configuration. Its built-in security mechanisms are just enough to run basic functionality; unlike Lobster, where you can't use it unless you crank permissions to the max, and maxing them out is unsafe. The difference in how much users have to understand just to get started is night and day. Memory operations are fast, and actions show up in the chat. You can clearly see exactly what she has remembered.

**TRAE used ssh to connect to the server and restart it without my consent — and it didn't even need my approval?!**

Daiti AI Voice Input Method: local privacy and security, low-latency input experience

Developed an Obsidian diary sync calendar plugin: Diary ICSI recently built an Obsidian plugin — Diary ICS — mainly to solve the problem of syncing Obsidian diary content with system calendars. ...

Void is an open-source AI code editor that can replace Cursor. During testing, it showed some gaps in understanding and missing features when generating HTML pages, but with config tweaks and a different model (such as Qwen2.5-Coder-32B) it can produce quite good results.

Recently, the updated Trae added support for MCP, opening up a whole new way to use it — for programmers, this is another form of Manus. Then right after, I got my hands on something new that makes digital life better: a **Fellou** that puts the browser to work for me, automatically running deep research and boosting efficiency. Both are shining examples of homegrown tech.

RescueTime gradually stopped meeting my needs: cluttered UI, delayed data, frequent false alarms. After trying Qbserve, I was happy with its standalone, intuitive interface and decided to buy it as a replacement.

- Fixed a bug where user edits were lost if the screen locked while editing a specific note - Fixed a bug where the unlock screen sometimes asked for the password multiple times - Fixed a bug where the creation time of new notes made on the web page displayed incorrectly in WiFi access mode - Fixed a bug where the IP address was sometimes obtained as (null) in WiFi mode

My first personal app, Private Notes, is now live on the App Store. From the first version submission to approval, including one rejection along the way, it took 10 days in total. Private Notes is a password-protected memo app I built for my own needs at work and in daily life. Back when I was a kid, my teacher taught me what Chairman Mao once said: “A good memory is no match for a worn-out pen.” That line has stayed with me ever since, and over the years I’ve put it into practice — if it’s worth remembering, I write it down. Now we’re in the information age, and I’m a heavy user of electronic devices. Going out without my phone cuts my HP and my mood in half. My important information — website accounts, security questions — all lives in my phone’s notes app, carried with me everywhere. Even my bank card details, my phone number’s PUK code, the serial numbers and MAC addresses of all my devices — all of it depends on my phone to remember. But phones are easy for other people to grab and play with. With everything stored on the phone, private data is easy for others to see, so a lot of the time I don’t dare write it down at all…

Flash SwitcherLets Firefox switch between different versions of the Flashplayer plugin, for compatibility debugging. This extension allows you to easily switch from one flash player plugin version to another, or also to remove or save the currently installed plugin (maybe for testing the express install). Once installed you will find the “flash switcher” icon in the Firefox statusbar at bottom right (and also in the Tools Firefox menu). Click on it and a list of available options will appear.
