This free, self-hosted workout app has the potential to replace MyFitnessPal

I’ve never counted my calories because of my high metabolism, but since going back to the gym last year, I’ve needed to increase my food intake to gain weight. However, my progress has been slow because I’m not being disciplined with my diet, which is why I’m hoping that a...
I’ve never counted my calories because of my high metabolism, but since going back to the gym last year, I’ve needed to increase my food intake to gain weight. However, my progress has been slow because I’m not being disciplined with my diet, which is why I’m hoping that a calorie and fitness tracker can set me on the right path. MyFitnessPal is a popular and obvious choice. Unfortunately, I never went back to the app after— according to HaveIBeenPwned—I lost my account information in a 2018 data breach.

Proxmox Datacenter Manager is an underrated tool for your PVE servers

Even with the free version of ESXi reinstated, Proxmox has a ton of benefits for home labbers who don’t want to waste money to unlock paywalled services. While ESXi’s 8-core per VM limit and lack of cluster provisions are often the biggest issues with the free version, the lack of...
Even with the free version of ESXi reinstated, Proxmox has a ton of benefits for home labbers who don’t want to waste money to unlock paywalled services. While ESXi’s 8-core per VM limit and lack of cluster provisions are often the biggest issues with the free version, the lack of vCenter support can be rather annoying, especially if you’re looking for a neat way to control multiple ESXi nodes.

Elon Musk’s Grokipedia contains copied Wikipedia pages

xAI’s Grokipedia, its Wikipedia-like online encyclopedia, is now live. The similarities go deeper than expected.

xAI’s Grokipedia, its Wikipedia-like online encyclopedia, is now live. The similarities go deeper than expected.Grokipedia’s design is pretty basic right now; like Wikipedia, the homepage is mostly just a big search bar, and entries resemble very basic Wikipedia entries, with headings, subheadings, and citations. I haven’t seen any photos on the site yet. Wikipedia lets users edit pages, but it doesn’t appear that users can currently do that on Grokipedia; a big edit button at the top only appeared on a few pages for me, and when I clicked the button, it only showed edits that had already been completed without specifying who is actually suggested or made the changes, and I wasn’t able to suggest changes of my own. Entries also claim that Grok has fact-checked them — a controversial idea, given how large language models tend to make up false “facts” — and how long ago the “fact check” happened.However, despite Elon Musk promising that Grokipedia would be a “massive improvement” over Wikipedia, some articles appear to be cribbing information from Wikipedia. At the bottom of the page for the MacBook Air, for example, you can see this message: “The content is adapted from Wikipedia, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License.” In some cases, the cribbing goes farther than a rewrite: I’ve also seen that message on pages for the PlayStation 5 and the Lincoln Mark VIII, and both of those pages are almost identical — word-for-word, line-for-line — to their Wikipedia counterparts.“Even Grokipedia needs Wikipedia to exist,” Lauren Dickinson, a spokesperson for the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that operates Wikipedia tells The Verge. You can read Dickinson’s full statement in full at the end of this article.It’s not the first time xAI’s AI has been caught pointing to Wikipedia; last month, in response to an X user pointing out that Grok cites Wikipedia pages, Musk said that “we should have this fixed by end of year.”Not all Grokipedia articles are based directly on Wikipedia ones, and some will be controversial. While both sites have articles on climate change, for example, Wikipedia’s page points out that “There is a nearly unanimous scientific consensus that the climate is warming and that this is caused by human activities. No scientific body of national or international standing disagrees with this view.” In Grokipedia’s entry, meanwhile, the word “unanimous” only appears in one paragraph: “Critics contend that claims of near-unanimous scientific consensus on anthropogenic causes dominating recent climate change overstate agreement due to selective categorization in literature reviews.” It suggests that the media and advocacy organizations like Greenpeace are “contributing to heightened public alarm,” and are part of “coordinated efforts to frame the issue as an existential imperative, influencing public discourse and policy without always grounding in proportionate empirical evidence.”According to a ticker at the bottom of the homepage, Grokipedia has over 885,000 articles; Wikipedia currently maintains around 7 million English pages. However, this is an early version of Grokipedia — it has a v0.1 version number on the homepage.Here is Dickinson’s full statement:We’re still in the process of understanding how Grokipedia works.Since 2001, Wikipedia has been the backbone of knowledge on the internet. Hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, it remains the only top website in the world run by a nonprofit. Unlike newer projects, Wikipedia’s strengths are clear: it has transparent policies, rigorous volunteer oversight, and a strong culture of continuous improvement. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, written to inform billions of readers without promoting a particular point of view. Wikipedia’s knowledge is – and always will be – human. Through open collaboration and consensus, people from all backgrounds build a neutral, living record of human understanding – one that reflects our diversity and collective curiosity. This human-created knowledge is what AI companies rely on to generate content; even Grokipedia needs Wikipedia to exist. Wikipedia’s nonprofit independence — with no ads and no data-selling — also sets it apart from for-profit alternatives. All of these strengths have kept Wikipedia a top trusted resource for more than two decades.Many experiments to create alternative versions of Wikipedia have happened before; it doesn’t interfere with our work or mission. As we approach Wikipedia’s 25th anniversary, Wikipedia will continue focusing on providing free, trustworthy knowledge built by its dedicated volunteer community.

First look: DJI’s Romo robot vacuum

The Romo P robot vacuum from DJI is now available in Europe for €1,899. Of all the companies that could have launched a robot vacuum in 2025, I didn't have DJI in the running - but here we are. The drone and camera manufacturer released the DJI Romo robovac in...
The Romo P robot vacuum from DJI is now available in Europe for €1,899. Of all the companies that could have launched a robot vacuum in 2025, I didn't have DJI in the running - but here we are. The drone and camera manufacturer released the DJI Romo robovac in Europe today, following its China debut this summer. The Romo is a combo robot vacuum and mop with a twist - it's transparent. But, sadly, it can't fly. Instead, DJI has channeled its navigation expertise into a bot that stays firmly on the ground.I got a sneak peek at the see-through sucker at the IFA trade show in September. While I didn't get to see it in action in the tiny room behind DJI's huge booth, I did get to check out the hardware - and there' …Read the full story at The Verge.

In the gaming world, development hell is one phase that strikes fear in the hearts of publishers, players, and, of course, developers themselves. It's when a game enters a limbo of overwhelming uncertainty, and it gets there via bad decision-making from the top, re-writes, ballooning costs and bloated timelines, teams being lost and new ones being brought in, along with a host of other problems that a lot of games have historically dealt with.

Pluribus’ Vince Gilligan on making shows that ‘attract really smart viewers’

Rhea Seehorn in Pluribus. Now he's best known for the crime-fueled duology of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but when Vince Gilligan was first starting out in television, it was in the realm of sci-fi. Over seven years he penned a number of classic episodes of The X-Files, ranging from a monster-themed spoof of Cops to a bizarre high-speed car chase that was his first collaboration with Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston. And now he's back in the genre with the upcoming Apple TV series Pluribus, which starts streaming in November.But Gilligan tells me that, while he had been itching to return to sci-fi, actually getting there was a bit of an accident.

I tried running the best NAS distro on my Raspberry Pi, and it went better than I thought

Despite using between multiple distros during my home lab journey, TrueNAS Community Edition (or Scale, as it was called back in the day) is hands-down my favorite of the bunch, as it has the holy trifecta of solid data protection features, powerful ZFS roots, and top-tier performance. Unfortunately, it’s restricted...
Despite using between multiple distros during my home lab journey, TrueNAS Community Edition (or Scale, as it was called back in the day) is hands-down my favorite of the bunch, as it has the holy trifecta of solid data protection features, powerful ZFS roots, and top-tier performance. Unfortunately, it’s restricted to x86 systems, leaving OpenMediaVault the only popular NAS distro for Arm devices like the Raspberry Pi. That’s a shame, because certain high-end Raspberry Pi devices have enough memory to meet the minimum requirements for running ZFS pools.

4 reasons why high-end GPUs have become overkill in 2025

When I talk about high-end GPUs, I refer to Nvidia cards with more than 10,000 CUDA cores or AMD GPUs with more than 4,000 stream processors.
