“Show HN: I vibecoded 177 tools for my own use (CalcBin) Hey HN! I've been building random tools whenever I needed them over the past few months, and now I have 177 of them. Started because I was tired of sketchy converter sites with 10 ads, so I just... made my own. Some highlights for the dev crowd: Developer tools: - UUID Generator (v1/v4/v7, bulk generation): https://calcbin.com/tools/uuid-generator - JWT Generator Decoder: https://calcbin.com&#x2F”

“Charger solution for 2 EVs with limited 90A service We are in the process of purchasing a home (USA). We need an EV charger installed. The EV Charger (hardwired to 60A) is the easy part. The problem is the location of the mains power from the utility. The house has the mains (200A service) dropping on the west side of the house. There, we have the utility meter along with a small panel box. In this panel there are 4 circuits: 60A Air Handler, 50A AC, 40A Oven, and 90A to a sub panel in the garag”
