  AI Crave (@wecraveai) reported 2 minutes ago

  Open source NotebookLM alternative with no data limits and AI agents. Same idea as Google's NotebookLM. Same chat-with-your-docs. Same podcast generator. Same cited answers. Except this one has no source limit, no notebook limit, no 200MB file cap, and no Google login. It's called SurfSense. Google NotebookLM vs SurfSense: - Sources per notebook: 50 to 600 → Unlimited - File size cap: 200MB and 500K words → No limit - LLM choice: Gemini only → 100+ models via LiteLLM - Local LLMs: Not allowed → Full Ollama and vLLM support - Self-host: No → Yes, one Docker command - Price: $0, $19.99/mo Pro, or $249.99/mo Ultra → $0 forever Here's the wildest part: It connects to 27+ sources Google can't touch. Notion. Slack. Linear. Jira. GitHub. Discord. Dropbox. OneDrive. Gmail. Confluence. Obsidian. ClickUp. Microsoft Teams. Airtable. Your entire work life, indexed once, searchable from one chat box. 14.4K GitHub stars. 1.4K forks. 6,232 commits. Apache-2.0 license. One honest note: the README says it's not yet production-ready and still being actively developed. But it already does more than NotebookLM does, and the gap is widening every release. This is what NotebookLM should have been from the start. Repo in the first comment.

  Well this is ironic: Ironic: been recommending a resume service built by an ex-Dropbox eng for years (a side project, but a good one.) Dev pivoted to building an AI Engineer - fine! But now resume site is down. Customers billed. Support nonexistent. AI made it... a lot worse!

  Google, Dropbox, and Apple are in trouble.. Someone open-source a tool that gives you unlimited cloud storage for free by using Telegram as the backend. Just log in with your Telegram ID and start uploading. → UNLIMITED storage → NO file size limits → NO subscription → NO credit card → Login in 3 seconds Google charges $120/year for 2TB. Dropbox charges $144. Apple charges $120. Telegram has been giving away infinity this whole time and you didn't know. Nobody can shut this down. 100% Open Source.

  that's a sync-direction race: your web edits haven't reached the local Dropbox copy yet, so Claude overwrites a stale file. nothing's lost though, Overleaf's History menu keeps every version to restore from. fix: let Dropbox finish pulling before Claude edits.

  "it's just a wrapper" 😑 might be one of the laziest criticism in tech! users don't care whether you built the infrastructure. they care whether the product solves their problem. dropbox didn't invent storage. it made storage effortless. turns out making existing technology usable is a lot more valuable than many founders want to admit.

  Okay, I think I've settled for an idea. I'll probably create an Dropbox account and upload all NSFW stuff there. Everyone who's interested in getting a link, once it's there, drop an comment down here. Won't be free tho. Around 10ish € a month

  track back to just over a year to now. i'd built an automated ecommerce flow that took a whole store end to end. seo would research trends, products, and map those into .js scripts which would launch prompts that read those research files. that would feed an image gen prompt which created designs, set to specific standard. i'd generate them, and then ANOTHER prompt, would check the images, score them with a criteria, and either move them to an accepted folder, or move them to an archive folder. the accepted folders, would automatically fire a script which would open photoshop, map the image to smart layers, in a 'product shot' template i'd made, and then export all of the final product shots to another folder, and then exported the flat designs which would be used for the products. another script took the product images, did visual lookups, generated all product descriptions, renamed the images and generated the seo text. it ran optimizations locally via a jpegoptim and oxipng script. it then uploaded them to dropbox, and via API, would generate a dropbox link map. i had one barebones csv template, which i'd run a ps1 script through to map json files into the csv rows, and insert the dropbox link map. all my images, links, followed the exact same slugs, so it turned 2 hours of manual work into a 5 second bulk rename and insert. it then converted that csv into json, which then itself converted that json into ld-json for product rich listings. ai would write the product description based on a dataseo keywords, and googletrends json file that would run on every product type. collecting keywords for that specific product. it also formed it around brand profiles, copy guides and other things. this was sonnet 3 days, GPT 4.0 days, and it STILL wrote great copy when it had the right guidance. in the .js file, i'd replace all em dashes with a hyphen if they ever appeared. i built a custom product uploader, built my own php plugin which synced to local .js files and connected via rest. it was (and still is) one of the best wc product uploaders that exist, as it completely resets filterlookups only for that product, and is lightning fast because i upload it directly into the sql from json. no importers or WC rest needed. the images would be uploaded via ftp, and then on detection, would sync those to the media library. it took what would be 3 hours of manual work, and congested it into a 2 minute image, to fully live product. after that, i'd export sales data, the ai was constantly learning, sales data feeding back to files, which would then teach the ai what products work, what doesn't. what copy worked, what copy didn't. all of it was local on my pc. i wasn't selling an saas. it was just something that worked for my very particular setup. i built that mostly with GPT 4.0 and a little bit of 3.5. copy and pasting the chats from chatGPT. all the plugins, the php, everything. then some of it got improved inside vscode back on the old original copilot plans. this was before n8n, before agents were even a thing. all of that was built for me, local, syncing folder to folder, json file to json file. python scripts watching files, and .ps1 files that would follow up with other .ps1 files, which launched .js files which contained prompts for AI, and hitting the openAI API's whenever I needed the AI layer. eventually i built a terminal tool, which would allow me to run the scripts from the terminal, and i'd manually type in the slugs for which products i wanted processed. all files would sit in specific folders, and scripts would do the rest. i was so excited about that, giving my terminal app a shortcut icon and putting it onto my taskbar. that was a year ago. fast forward to now. the game has changed so much. ANYTHING and i mean anything is possible now. i've had this ******* idea for so long, to build a fully automated, self learning ecom business, that launches products end to end based on it's own research, writing, and growth, but the complexity of it previously , and being busy with life, it never got finalized. and i've finally been building the replacement for it, but it'll be able to do many other things. i'll be able to run that exact same system, except this time through a full app, with a canvas, and agent systems instead of .ps1 scripts. not to say i won't run scripts; they're an integral part of any automated workflow, but now it has superpowers. not only that, but i moved away from woocommerce entirely. instead i just built my own website builder, which is fully automated end to end. my brand profiles, my artwork system? i'm still using those, just for more things. now i can launch 50 brands just like it, running the same system, all in about 5 minutes. except this time, a year later, we have GPT 2.0, and seedance. which offer MUCH better usage for ecommerce than it was back 1 year ago. i also built an ad builder. it takes my brands images, or generates images. i've got background removed, and full skills and agents which practically generate the ads for me. it mixes all that into seedance videos, and posts in logos etc. now i take those image/videos, and build instagram, tiktok, facebook vids, generate descriptions, and upload them automatically. that's why it's so great building for yourself. the amount of reusability you get with it, the fact it's free forever, can never be beaten. i'm not selling anything yet. but if you're interested in seeing how i think about automation, then stay a while and listen. the tool i'm building will absolutely help you too. but i'll be honest. i'm actually quite scared to release it, solely down to how powerful it is. not many people do it like i do, and i'm finally on here to tell the world.

  Dropbox solved a simple problem: How do you access your files from anywhere? Cloud storage became popular because people wanted their files available on every device. Convenience drives technology.

  @hashnode Thank you! It's back up now. That was so weird. I didn't even receive an explanation as to why it was taken down, but my work is back up now, which makes me happy, but still very cautious without an explanation. I think I'll have to keep using Dropbox in the meantime

  @jjacky I don't see the problem. Everyone who has a Facebook probably doesn't care much about privacy anyway. And if not Facebook, most have DropBox, OneDrive, or ICloud. They all have access to the photos you upload.

  8/ The settings on your own devices that are silently eating bandwidth. Even with a great router, fast DNS, and honest ISP speeds, your devices may be consuming bandwidth you didn't authorize. Common culprits: On your phone: 1. iCloud/Google Photos backup set to sync constantly (not just on Wi-Fi) 2. App updates downloading in the background 3. "Wi-Fi Assist" on iPhone (silently switches to cellular and back, disrupting connections) On your laptop: 1. Cloud sync services (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive) uploading constantly 2. Windows/macOS pushing system updates during peak hours 3. Browser tabs running in background consuming bandwidth with auto-refresh On your smart TV: 4. Firmware updates downloading during prime streaming time 5. Multiple streaming apps running in background 6. ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) sending screenshots to servers every 15-60 seconds On IoT devices: 1. Smart cameras uploading video 24/7 2. Smart speakers maintaining constant server connections 3. Smart home hubs polling every device every few seconds She audited every device on her network. Twelve devices were consuming bandwidth she didn't know about. Three of them were using more data than her actual streaming.

  2026 and we’re out here building god-tier AI that can debate physics and write symphonies, but Grok still can’t watch a Dropbox, OneDrive, or Discord video link.“Sorry, I can’t watch videos from Dropbox, OneDrive, or most direct file links.”We’re doing all this magic with AI and the video player is stuck in 2015.

  Popular Services/Messengers That Are Typically NOT (Fully) End-to-End EncryptedThese are the ones affected by scanning under the current EU Chat Control setup which has passed today in the EU: Email services (most standard ones): - Gmail (Google) - Outlook/Hotmail (Microsoft) - Yahoo Mail - iCloud Mail (Apple, standard) - Many others without E2EE enabled - Facebook/Instagram Messenger (standard mode) — Often not fully E2EE unless "Secret Conversations" are turned on - Skype (standard chats) — Microsoft can access content. - Snapchat — Chats and snaps are not E2EE by default (some features have it, but not comprehensively) - Telegram (standard/cloud chats) — Encrypted between device and server, but Telegram holds the keys and can access content. Only "Secret Chats" are protected. - Discord — Messages are not E2EE; the company can moderate/scan - Older/traditional SMS/MMS — Completely unencrypted. - Xbox Live messaging and some gaming platforms. - Cloud storage/file sharing tied to chats (e.g., Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive in some contexts) — Often scanned Let that sink in ! allegedly to fight against child abuse

  Here's the stack I keep finding when I talk to tax firms: → Intake forms in JotForm or Google Forms → Signatures in DocuSign or PandaDoc → Reminders in Mailchimp, email, text messages → Document tracking in a Google Sheet, excel, crm → Client files scattered across email, Google Drive, dropbox, local hard drive Five tools, five logins, five places for something to fall through. None of them talk to each other, so the accountant becomes the integration. manually copying status from one to the next. It's not that any single tool is bad. It's that the seams between them are where the time goes. The fix isn't a sixth tool. It's removing four of them. How many tools are in your tax-season stack right now?

  Problem: I didn't have where to save useful links, because my main pc isn't always on. Solution: Told Hermes on my minipc, which is always on, to save the links which I send to a file in dropbox. Then, I told Hermes from my main pc to make a cronjob to check that file every day at 9 am and save the links in their respective category in the dashboard.
