Video light

Turn your screen into a video light — free, no app

What it does

Ring lights are great, but not everyone wants to buy, carry, or set up extra hardware just to record a video or hop on a call with decent lighting. Video Light turns your screen into a full-color light source — white, red, blue, or yellow — with an aperture-style brightness dial you can drag to adjust intensity. Go fullscreen and your whole display becomes a soft, even light for your face. No sign-up, no download, no ads. Just open it in your browser and go

Free browser-based video light. Turn your screen into a white, red, blue, or yellow light with adjustable brightness — perfect for lighting your face while recording videos, no app or camera gear needed.

Video Light is a free browser tool that turns your screen into a white, red, blue, or yellow light source, so you can light your face while recording videos or joining calls — no ring light or extra hardware needed. Pick a color from the four options, then drag the aperture-style dial to adjust brightness. You can also switch to fullscreen so your browser's address bar disappears and the light fills your entire screen while recording. Yes. It's completely free to use directly in your browser — no sign-up, no downloads, and no hidden charges. Yes, it works on any phone or tablet browser. Keep in mind your device's own screen brightness setting still caps how bright the light actually is, so…from arsalan-tech-hub.github.io

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

    A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…
