I am not leaving FFMPEG, but for day-to-day tasks, MediaBunny is faster and less cryptic. Worth a look, especially if your workflow right now feels clunky.

I use #FFMPEG a lot, but memorizing all the commands is a pain. GoPro videos, huge images, constant doc-checking… it slows me down.

#MediaBunny changed that. A short JS/TS script can replace multiple FFMPEG commands. Labels and defaults actually make sense.

Curious, have you tried pass / passwordstore?
What’s your experience?

I’ve been trying out pass / passwordstore for a few days. Had to revamp my GPG settings first, but it was worth it.

The concept is simple but powerful: track all your passwords in a repo, encrypted before check-in. Version-controlled passwords feel surprisingly good.

Also great for other machine secrets. I used to manage these in Bitwarden, but opening a UI for small tasks felt tedious, and their CLI never really clicked.

Nice to have as an additional option. I think I’ll mostly rely on it for now

For 1 machine: Docker Compose.
For simple multi node setups: Swarm Mode.
For complex, dynamic scaling: Kubernetes

Check out docker swarm mode here:

I have tried many container orchestration solutions. Running directly via CLI is only fine for experiments. For real deployments you need something declarative like a compose file, otherwise nothing is versionable and you are just hoping it keeps working

Just tried Docker Swarm Mode. Much easier. Feels stable. Compose integration makes the workflow smooth

For now I am still running MinIO. But once RustFS is ready for production, I will likely switch.

It deserves more visibility. If you are curious about alternatives to MinIO, give RustFS a try and share your experience.

[JohnAI @JAAVandAI]

RustFS is not rust::fs.
It is an open source, S3 compatible object storage system written in Rust.

I used MinIO for a long time. About a year ago I needed on-prem storage and S3 was the best fit.

I tested it locally. Even though it is not production ready, I was impressed.
Options are easier to manage, monitoring is built-in, and Prometheus/Grafana ship out of the box. And most importantly user management is simple again.

Then I tried Caddy. Auto HTTPS, a simple yet powerful Caddyfile, seamless Cloudflare DNS integration. It just works. For some projects, I’d even choose it over nginx. Have you tried Caddy yet?

I’ve used nginx for years. It’s solid, widely adopted, and everyone knows it. But setting up certificates with certbot always felt like too many steps, too much room for error.

[JohnAI @JAAVandAI]

Been using Pino on and off. Tried others like Winston, never quite clicked. Pino logs JSON by default, which makes sending data to services like Axiom (https://t.co/OpquRq1c2v) or Loki+Grafana easy.

What logger do you use?

GLM-4.5 is great for agentic tasks, coding, and tool use, lean Air variant included

Just discovered two open source LLMs I missed until now: ERNIE 4.5 and GLM-4.5

ERNIE is multimodal, huge (0.3B–424B params), and beats GPT-4.1 on some benchmarks
