daybox
ephemeral devboxes in your own Hetzner account
What it does
One CLI summons a beefy hourly-billed dev machine in your own cloud account, over your private net, with your workspace already on it — and reaps it when you walk away.
One CLI summons an hourly-billed machine in your cloud account, drops you in over your private net, and reaps it when you walk away — while your repos, your auth, and your tmux session survive on a persistent volume. The next box comes up already knowing who you are. $ daybox up summoning via control (fresh boot takes ~60-90s)… creating ccx33 in hil (~ €0.23 /h gross) ... net: enrolling box on the daybox net ready. ~ €0.23 /h until 'daybox down' (idle reaper: 30min; hard cap: 12h) dev@daybox :/work$ … and you're in. later, from any device: $ daybox ssh … a real machine, your repos, right where you left it … $ daybox down unmounting /work + detaching volume deleting server … (billing stops…from daybox.dev

I've decided to bite the bullet and release Bitbox.co and get some feedback. I've been coding for years and one of the things I constantly see companies do is write and rewrite a document storage system, so I decided to write one for them. Bitbox.co uses cloud storage (currently Azure) to store documents but can be coded to use any cloud service. Documents can be public or private and URLs to that document can be used directly in HTML. There are currently a list of WebAPIs for developers to use as a tool, or build an entire system around. This is an MVP and it's simple. Upload a file, get a…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
