Solo Developer Shares Backup Strategy for a 2 GB Server Running 39 Stock Products

0
·16 views

After a nightly snapshot that retained only seven days failed to recover an eleven-day-old upload CSV, the author rebuilt their backup approach. Their catalogue of 39 products totals 856 MB, but the underlying pipeline code and research notes would be lost without separate protection. The author splits data into three tiers: small, irreplaceable metadata synced daily; regenerable product archives synced weekly off-server; and large raw assets rebuilt rather than duplicated. Because the server has a single vCPU, backup jobs are run sequentially to avoid memory exhaustion and corrupted archives. The author also emphasizes monthly restore tests over simply confirming that backups exist.

Claude Code Can Now Run on Local or Cloud Models via Ollama on Windows

A developer has published a guide showing how to run the Claude Code terminal coding agent with models served by Ollama instead of Anthropic's accounts. The setup requires Node.js for installing Claude Code, the Ollama app on Windows, and a local model chosen from Ollama's list, such as the small qwen3.5:0.8b used in the example. Local models keep prompts and code on the user's machine but depend heavily on hardware and model size. For more capable models, Ollama's cloud options can be used after signing in, though these send prompts to Ollama's servers and have usage caps.

Live Supabase service_role keys found committed in public MCP config files on GitHub

A security researcher scanned public GitHub repositories for MCP configuration files that contain database credentials. After decoding and verifying candidate matches, 12 files were found to hold real service_role keys, which bypass row-level security and grant full database access. Four of the associated Supabase projects were still live at the time of the scan, one of them pushed the same day. The author argues that developers treat .mcp.json files like editor settings rather than secret stores, and that the ecosystem lacks the secret-scanning safeguards that .env files have. The researcher recommends rotating exposed keys and moving them into runtime environment variables, and has released free local auditing tools for these configs.

QuietQueue groups small chores into time-boxed plans using an on-device open-weight model

QuietQueue is a new open-source, browser-based app that turns a list of scattered to-do items into a short session of related tasks within a chosen time budget and energy level. An optional on-device AI, built on the open-weight MiniLM sentence-embedding model via Transformers.js, groups tasks by meaning, while a deterministic planner enforces the time and energy limits. The app does not send messages, book anything, or carry out the tasks themselves, and task text stays on the user's device. The project was built for a Hacktoberfest challenge and its code is MIT-licensed, with dependencies and model weights retaining their own licenses. The developer notes that the implementation and tests were produced by an autonomous AI assistant, and that the app has limitations, including unencrypted local storage.

Developer Builds "Sloth", a Zero-LLM Memory System to Stop Agents Forgetting Context

A developer on DEV Community describes frustration with an AI agent that repeatedly lost track of prior information. In response, they built a memory component called Sloth that does not rely on a large language model. The system is designed so the agent does not need to re-explain previously established context. The article text on the platform did not render correctly, so further technical details about how Sloth works could not be confirmed from the source.
