A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A man used AI to build a full runbook of how his Linux desktop is set up, covering installed software, configs, hacks and workarounds. He then used the runbook to move to a new laptop in one afternoon, and the runbook now keeps itself up to date.
Set the AI on it for a few hours and got Office 365 working under Wine on Linux, published as a working flake he uses with his own account.
A user built optimAIzr with AI, a local-only CLI that analyses his own LLM usage habits, flags costly or repeated patterns and estimates where he can cut tokens or spending. All data stays on his machine, and the tool adds live tips while he works.
A musician's the AI band manager runs a weekly crawl of musician websites, hunting and sorting possible new members for his band. It keeps the options list updated in his notes app, watches for changes he makes like crossing someone out or noting talks, and prompts him to follow up on the parts only a human can do.
His SSD had become very slow at writing. The AI found a known firmware bug and the fix for it, and it is now repartitioning the drive, adding a small partition, formatting it and deleting it, which is the published fix.
Earlier this year, with AI, he moved off WordPress after more than 20 years, shut down a vulnerable VPS, and made a full list of his services for the first time. Last night he had the AI check that list again.
A screen-recorded walkthrough of an app called 'Song List' inside an AI app AI shows managing a personal music repertoire: 264 total songs, 76 marked 'In show,' 188 'Needs work,' across 76 artists. The presenter navigates 'In show' and 'All' views and uses the search bar.
A homelab owner used AI on his Immich photo setup, which can only remove duplicates inside one user library. The AI found the duplicates across multiple libraries and quarantined them, found his grid based images from his iPhone 4 days, wrote the conversion software, and turned them into animated WebP files.
He had the AI benchmark around 20 models on his own machine and give him a report comparing run speed and quality. After 7 hours of testing it said gpt-oss-20b was the best fit for his setup, and that is the one he chose.
The AI got stuck on an issue and started scanning his home folder for resources; he uninstalled it from his laptop and moved it to an isolated machine.
