- Nothing in that container luckily, just what Umami needed to run, so no creds at all. Thanks for the info though!
- This is a great shout actually. Thanks for pointing it out!
- I've got a whole Hetzner EX41 bare metal server, as opposed to a VPS. It's gotr like 20 services on it.
But yeah it is massively overspecced. Makes me feel cool load testing my go backend at 8000 requests per second though!
- Hahaha, I did tell him this afternoon. This is the bloke who has the same password for all his banking apps despite me buying him 1password though. The imminent threat from RCE's just didn't land.
- Yeah I did consider just killing it, I'm going to keep an eye on it for a few days with a gun to it just in case.
I was lucky in that my DB backups were working so all my persistence wax backed up to S3. I think I could stand up another one in an hour.
Unfortunately I didn't keep an image no. I almost didn't have the foresight to investigate before yeeting the whole box into the sun!
- Thanks for the encouragement! I find it difficult to write articles beyond simply stating a series of facts.
I tried handwriting https://blog.jakesaunders.dev/schemaless-search-in-postgres/ bit I thought it came off as rambling.
Maybe I'll have a go at redrafting this tomorrow in non LLM-ese.
- I fixed it, apologies for the misinformation.
- Yeah fair, I asked claude to help because honestly this was a little beyond my writing skills. I'm real though. Sorry. Will change

I just finished building my own IoT platform and I’m honestly so proud of it.
It’s completely free. Please try it out it would mean the world to me! Would love some feedback.
N.B. Finished the landing page and docs this morning. Done I’d better than perfect so expect some rough edges.
- Myself and my partner are working on a new type of STEM kit for people who want to learn electronics!
https://inventronix.club/?utm_source=hn
It stated as a bit of a toy but we've got 200 people signed up to the waiting list, so we're doing a kickstarter in November!
- We've spent the last ten days trying to get marketing off the ground for our new project. We managed to get 600 followers and 12 email list signups.
I've struggled to find good advice work marketing as an indie dev, so documenting my learnings as I go.
I'd like to not have to reinvent the wheel though. If you know of any good, authentic material please link them to me!

> I never took an electronics or computer course in my life.
Same! One of my favourite things about these fields is that you can take the time and learn everything you need to know just by looking at the internet.
> I had a plan to work with kids after school to collect data in the field and analyze it on computers with open source software, and give them a CD/DVD to take home (it was that long ago) and give them access from home. Pride of ownership. "This is my work".
This sounds really interesting. Why did it not work out? I think pride of ownership is an important aspect of this so keen to take any learnings.
> Many kids aren't self-teachers Totally agree, the aim here is to get away from 'looking at random blogs for 4 hours' to building your first project. Then introduce them to trawling the internet for arcan knowledge slowly ;)
- Hey, thanks! These are really cool bits of inspiration.
> but the Radio shack kit never really explained why anything worked the way it did...
This has been my experience also. We recently built a solar powered toy with my nephews and when we got to the end they asked 'so how does it work?' which hit the point home for me.
Do you have any ideas on how to create engaging content for the app around this? We've got so far: - Mini articles on each component (with accompanying video). - Mini quizzes to embed learning.
- Sharing the first build log of our STEM toy startup: why we’re building it, the tech stack, what’s working, and what’s not. Looking for advice + ideas from this crowd.

- I find articles like this super interesting, but they remind me that I’m a deeply technical person and as such would never be able to thrive in the ‘business’ world.
The modern YC startup philosophy of ‘make something people want’ seems to be only partially true. There’s this whole world of coffee dates, relationship building and salesmanship which always feels slimy to me.
- I’m just putting the finishing touches on (https://jtrack.app)[JTrack]
I spent a long time working in manufacturing and struggled to find a piece of software where we could define a process, share instructions and collect data all in one go.
The idea is you can basically turn your process into an interactive flowchart and follow it through. I’m almost code complete on the MVP, moving into distribution mode in a few weeks.
I’d love to hear from any HNers who’ve gone from 0 to 1 on a SaaS for non technical users. What worked for you?
I'm going to sit down and rewrite the article and take a further look at the container tomorrow.
