Hi everyone, I'm a solo developer and a frequent Redmine user. I always found it cumbersome to track time on tasks - constantly switching to the browser, finding the issue, and opening the time log form disrupted my flow. So, I built RM Timer, a minimalist desktop application for Windows/macOS/Linux. Its main goal is to make time logging a one-click action. What it does: • Connects directly to your Redmine instance (API key).

• Lists your assigned issues in a simple, fast interface.

• Start/stop timer with a single click per issue.

• Logs time directly to the Redmine issue when you stop the timer.

• Minimizes to system tray.

I had a problem, my wife wanted to be able to download all the images of our kids from Storypark so that we can add them to our Immich instance. To download them you had to in the app or website click open each image then go through the menu to download. Because we have 2 kids that could be upwards of 60 photos.

Being someone that works in the automation field, I couldn't have such a clunky process for photos sent to us daily.

Initially I built a quick an dirty script that opens the current page but then I thought why not expand it to not only get the images but all of the posts that have not been downloaded yet. Then I had the idea of updating the EXIF data so that Immich can put the images on the correct date.

I run a lot of docker containers so next step was to enable me to run this on my own NAS and have it save the files directly to where Immich is looking and here we are. I realised other parents could use this so I've cleaned up my code and put it up for others to use.

Hopefully those other parents with RSI will appreciate the script. You can run it locally or in docker.

Next phase will be to have it find the images with my kids and archive the ones without their faces for review.

Any trying to make them useful. So far I got something like https://prebuilt.fun/, which is for the narrow task of finding gaming computers (but in principle can find almost anything) and https://seearch.co/, which is more a general purpose answer engine, ~ perplexity.ai style.

Constructive criticism welcome!

Ok, so, I have ideas in my head, and they're too big for me to realize. But here's the general idea.

We place RFID tags and readers along a G-Scale train. These readers would send data to a computer. This computer controls not only the train, but also a vending machine. This computer ALSO connects to your cell phone. We build an app if we have to. But basically, you open your cell phone, and say "I want 3 bags of chips, and 2 cans of soda."

Then, a train starts chugging along. It stops at designated places. The vending machine drops in your 3 bags of chips, and 2 sodas into the gondola cars in the back. Then upon registering that the weight has settled, it starts chugging along, and eventually gets to you.

Once it has registered that you've taken your cargo, it chugs back along to where it came from and waits for it's next set of orders.

I'm thinking we can use a DCC+ controlled G scale train. Some RFID tags, an RFID reader, and like 6 gondola cars, where we install weight sensitive plates.

Thoughts?
