### [Background Enhancement Tool Turns Any Photo Into a Studio-Quality Product Image](https://yomu.fyi/post/background-enhancement-tool-turns-any-photo-into-a-studio-quality-prod.md)

eBay’s background enhancement tool addresses the effort and expense of producing polished product photographs for listings. Sellers can remove an existing photo’s background with eBay’s background removal tool, choose from AI-generated scenes, and apply a new backdrop during listing in the iOS and Android mobile apps. The feature is available to iOS users in the U.S., U.K., and Germany, with Android rollout planned over the coming months, and remains in early rollout for feedback and iteration. It uses open source deep learning inpainting models, including Stable Diffusion, alongside eBay’s anonymous data and infrastructure; future visual generation models will be fine-tuned using seller feedback. Responsible AI collaboration, accuracy guidance, and transparency reminders are intended to reduce misrepresentation of products and their condition.


### [Deploy Your Own (Not) Midjourney Bot on Fly GPUs](https://yomu.fyi/post/deploy-your-own-not-midjourney-bot-on-fly-gpus.md)

This tutorial builds a Discord image-generation bot that uses Fooocus, an open-source interface for Stable Diffusion, to provide a Midjourney-like /imagine command. It separates the system into a normal Fly Machine running a Python Pycord bot and a GPU Machine running Fooocus-API, with Flycast connecting them over Fly.io’s private network. The bot defers Discord responses, polls for the generated image each second, and uploads the resulting file, while the post notes that this blocking flow will not perform well for hundreds of simultaneous users. Fly GPU rootfs supports the nearly 12GB image, and an L40S setup costs about $3.20/hr when running, with scale-to-zero intended to avoid charges for unused compute. GPU activity is verified with nvidia-smi, and the source code can be extended with additional commands and image-to-image features.

This article describes how Xe Iaso uses Fly.io to host a blog, CDN, and experimental personal projects while deploying services near users. The blog backend runs in Toronto, while XeDN runs in 35 datacenters, fetches missing files from Backblaze B2, and uses caching and traffic shifting to tolerate individual node failures. Arsène runs every 12 hours, asking the ChatGPT API for posts, using Stable Diffusion for illustrations through an Automatic1111 API on a private network, then sending images to XeDN for global delivery. The setup emphasizes reusable, interoperable building blocks rather than isolated projects, with Fly.io handling deployment, networking, and scaling concerns. Xe reports that three 256 MB Machines ran XeDN for a year, while Arsène still runs on one, and says applications can scale to zero when idle.
