Ask HN: What did you replace bitnami with?
I'm working on migrating my gitea (helm chart) while stumbling onto the issue that they still have no alternative to bitnami helm charts.
I have found a pretty good alternative by using the postgres operator instead and it seems that the valkey community simply forked the bitnami chart. However, it seems that valkey are one of very few projects that commited to maintaining such charts.
Are we really stuck maintaining our own image/helm catalogs again?

Show HN: Codex Swarm – Local ChatGPT swarm for coding with Git-tracked agents
I built a small framework that turns the OpenAI Codex plugin into a swarm of specialized “workers” that all live inside a single repo. Instead of just chatting with a model in your IDE, you get an orchestrator, planner, coder and reviewer that share a JSON task board, touch only the files in your project and are forced to finish every step with a clean git commit.
The whole thing is defined in prompts and JSON (AGENTS.md + .AGENTS/*.json), with git and tasks.json as the shared memory layer. You describe a goal, the orchestrator decomposes it into atomic tasks, the planner writes them into the backlog, the coder makes small diffs and commits them, and the reviewer/doc agent keeps the repo and docs consistent. There’s no separate runtime or web UI — just your IDE, the Codex plugin and a strict one-task-one-commit workflow inside your local repo.
Repo: https://github.com/basilisk-labs/codex-swarm
Would love feedback on whether this “agents as versioned workers” model fits how you’d actually want to use LLMs in your dev workflow, and what’s missing for you to adopt or fork it.

Show HN: Ray-BANNED, Glasses to detect smart-glasses that have cameras
Hi! Recently smart-glasses with cameras like the Meta Ray-bans seem to be getting more popular. As does some people's desire to remove/cover up the recording indicator LED. I wanted to see if there's a way to detect when people are recording with these types of glasses, so a little bit ago I started working this project. I've hit a little bit of a wall though so I'm very much open to ideas!
I've written a bunch more on the link (+photos are there), but essentially this uses 2 fingerprinting approaches: - retro-reflectivity of the camera sensor by looking at IR reflections. mixed results here. - wireless traffic (primarily BLE, also looking into BTC and wifi)
For the latter, I'm currently just using an ESP32, and I can consistently detect when the Meta Raybans are 1) pairing, 2) first powered on, 3) (less consistently) when they're taken out of the charging case. When they do detect something, it plays a little jingle next to your ear.
Ideally I want to be able to detect them when they're in use, and not just at boot. I've come across the nRF52840, which seems like it can follow directed BLE traffic beyond the initial broadcast, but from my understanding it would still need to catch the first CONNECT_REQ event regardless. On the bluetooth classic side of things, all the hardware looks really expensive! Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!
