Sadly no I’m not, but I was very inspired by him when I was in that scene! PSP hacking was my first experience with customizing any kind of device beyond what average users can do and it’s what made me fall in love with computers as a kid. I don’t think I’d be the software engineer I am today or even in this field if it wasn’t for him. My name is Alex so I thought I could pay homage to him by choosing a similar username, since he had such a massive impact on my life ☺️

To answer your question, I built it for a few reasons:

• I wanted to learn Rust, so I used this project to do that
• I really love TUI’s and I pretty much live in my command line at work, and since I already automate everything I can to make my work life easier, I wanted to be able to do the same with my homelab
• I think it looks cool
• For fun. If no one else ever gets use out of it, that’s okay! I just really enjoyed building it and I’m excited to build out more of it.

But also: Why not? ☺️

So really, you would only use this if you like TUIs or want a command line tool for interacting with your Servarrs. If you have no use for it, that’s totally fine too!

The one actual use I’ve found people say they use it for is people who don’t want to expose the web interface to interact with their Servarrs and only interact via SSH. Then they like to use this instead.

… Well that’s… Concerning…😅

What browser are you using? I want to try to recreate it!

Thank you so much! I really hope it lives up to the hype it’s getting 😅

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate you!

As for container support: if you mean if there’s a docker version, yes there is. If that’s not what you meant, then my bad!

That’s amazing. Hello fellow Alex! 😂

You’re the first person to catch the reference! Sadly, no I’m not. But I was a prolific PSP modder as a kid so I knew his name and was very familiar with him. So, in my adult life, since he had such a big impact on me, my username is made after him! My real name is Alex so it just kind of worked.

Of course! There’s a lot of work remaining to be done to add support for other features, Servarrs, etc. So contributions are very welcome! ☺️

I’ve been working on my rendition of the Super Smash Bros Ultimate theme on piano in my spare time from work. This recording isn’t perfect but this was recorded literally right before a string snapped and scared the hell out of me! I’ve been uploading to TikTok since I’m self taught and no one ever really gets to hear me play and I’m self conscious about it. So I’m trying to put myself out there more to get over my self consciousness!

I’ve also been working on creating a mock Transmission server so I can create a good demo for my side project Similar to the idea behind k9s, I’ve been building a rust-based TUI to manage all your standard . I’m calling it Managarr. I’m working on getting this demo done and then I’ll be implementing CI/CD. Once I can get this thing into alpha I’ll open it up for contributions since I’m changing code all the time at the moment and it would just be merge conflict hell. Here’s some screenshots!
