My #cat fell (front legs) in my #kombucha brewing jar and now I am wondering whether to throw it all out to start fresh or test the resilience of scoby.

Looking for #android users to help test Harp (offline PHR app using #orgmode files)
Harp lets you maintain health journals, attach reports/scans/prescriptions, and keep full control of your data. No cloud, no trackers, no ads. Just regular Org files you can open in #emacs, use with Org-roam, version, sync via whatever works for you, etc.
Project page: https://docs.lepisma.xyz/harp/ and a write up for more details https://lepisma.xyz/2026/02/24/harp/
It's freely available on F-Droid. But I am preparing a Play Store release and need 12 testers (14-day install requirement). If you're willing to help test, send me your play store linked email.
Any other feedback is very welcome.
I believe web chatbots are good only for accessibility and should be looked at like that. Here is more in a new blog post https://lepisma.xyz/2026/02/18/web-chatbots-are-assistive-technologies
People losing grip of code bases and architecture because of #ai taking care of many low levels details is not really new. A lot of us faced that struggle while transitioning from technical to managerial roles.
In my case, I recall trying to keep in touch with the code base that's being changed every few hours by my team, trying to assert control and fail at it, trying to control changes directionally by putting in good practices etc. But in the end you learn to embrace your new role since that's where you have the most impact.
I guess now this choice of moving from technical to managerial track is forced, which is causing a whole new set of people to get disenchanted.
Seeing #ai fatigue everywhere, I am surprised no one seems to bring back a helpful tool of the previous #cloud era https://github.com/panicsteve/cloud-to-butt
So I (asked an AI) made the extension here https://git.sr.ht/~lepisma/ai2butt
On the sides I have been making a small health records app that stores data in #emacs #orgmode files and attachments. No cloud, subscription, or sharing of data with any third party provider, unless you explicitly do that by sharing your files.
It was primarily for personal uses and is not yet feature complete and the UX is not optimal, but is still usable in ways.
Here is the documentation https://docs.lepisma.xyz/harp/
F Droid builds are available here https://f-droid.org/packages/xyz.lepisma.harp in case you want to try it out and give feedback.
Here's my NOT #spotify #wrapped for 2025 https://lepisma.xyz/journal/2025/12/07/my-humble-wrapped/
I have a small talk on making org-babel reactive in this year's #emacsconf (it's the first talk on 6th). It's honestly not much but hey! if you are hanging around, I would love to discuss and learn your org-babel workflows and tricks.
I am open for part-time work in Conversational #AI and #ML in general. I have worked as Head of AI in Series B startup where I built the entire ML function from the ground up, grew and mentored a world-class team that published in top tier venues while running and maintaining speech-first voicebots at production scale.
