Introducing a Richer ”docker model run” Experience
The command line is where developers live and breathe. A powerful and intuitive CLI can make the difference between a frustrating task and a joyful one. That’s why we’re excited to announce a major upgrade to the interactive chat experience in Docker Model Runner, our tool for running AI workloads locally. We’ve rolled out a… ⌘ Read more
Streaming live video as a macOS screensaver using AVFoundation and yt-dlp
I built this to play live HLS streams as a screensaver on macOS. It supports both direct .m3u8 URLs and YouTube
links (via yt-dlp extraction with caching).
The interesting bits:
- Cross-screen synchronization: All displays show the same frame of the video by syncing to a shared timestamp,
making it feel like one continuous stream across monitors
- Handles the unreliable macOS screensaver lifecycle (stopAnimation doesn’t always get called when … ⌘ Read more
Docker Model Runner Meets Open WebUI: A Simpler Way to Run Local AI Models
Hi, I’m Sergei Shitikov - a Docker Captain and Lead Software Engineer living in Berlin. I’m focused on DevOps, developer experience, open source, and local AI tools.

Colored Highlighter - A terminal tool to highlight specific words in your command output with colors
I needed to take a look at some live logs and quickly analyze some old ones, but I couldn’t find anything effective to highlight terms, except for esoteric sed and awk commands.
So I built ch - Colored Highlighter - a simple terminal tool to highlight specific words in your command output with colors. Perfect for tailing logs, debugging, and making command output more readable.
Try it out, all feedback is welcome!
What’s your go-to strategy for giving engineers access to production?
I’ve been in this field for almost 15 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen two companies handle this the same way
Some other places just hand out just-in-time database access with short-lived credentials, others rely on rigid role-based permission, and others go all in on anonymized data dumps or shadow environments to avoid prod access altogether

Generation of harmful slow electrons in water is a race between intermolecular energy decay and proton transfer
When high-energy radiation interacts with water in living organisms, it generates particles and slow-moving electrons that can subsequently damage critical molecules like DNA. Now, Professor Petr Slavíček and his bachelor’s student Jakub Dubský from UCT Prague (University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague) have described in detail one of the key mechanisms for the creation … ⌘ Read more
Revisiting Sailfish OS in 2025
As someone who cut their teeth on Maemo (the N800/N900 still live in my basement) and carried the first Jolla dev device, I like to pull out my SailfishOS phones every few months to see how things are progressing. Here’s where I’m at in September 2025. ↫ Nick Schmidt I was one of the very first people to review the original Jolla Phone way back in 2014, and I also happen to own the quite rare Jolla Tablet, so I was definitely a serious backer and believer in the platfor … ⌘ Read more

DNA repair mechanisms help explain why naked mole-rats live a long life
Naked mole-rats are one of nature’s most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ten times longer than relatives of a similar size. But what is the secret to their extreme longevity? How are they able to delay the decay and decline that befalls other rodents? The answer, at least in part, is due to a switch in a common protein that boosts DNA repair, according to new research published i … ⌘ Read more

@thecanine@twtxt.net I am not arguing you didn’t do the right thing™, and even if the impact is minimal, or nothing, you did what you thought was right (and I agree). I don’t agree with certain rules the EU wants to impose, not in this particular case. There are rotten potatoes everywhere, and I don’t get fooled by the EU often sacrosanct behaviour.
But who am I to say anything, right? Look at the grotesque clown utterly shit show we live with on this side!
We’ve discovered another reason why naked mole rats live for so long
The longevity of naked mole rats may partly be due to them having a variant of a key protein that boosts DNA repair – a discovery that could help extend our own lives ⌘ Read more
10 Unique Ancient Peoples Whose Cultural Footprints Still Shape the World
History has a funny way of remembering the loudest voices—the emperors, conquerors, and generals whose names echo through textbooks and tourist guides.

Their contributions hide in plain sight, etched into our laws, our languages, our festivals, and even the […]

Hiring in high-growth firms: Exploring the timing of organizational changes
High-growth firms (HGFs) refer to businesses that achieve rapid growth in terms of employees or revenue. Based on the established definition, HGFs are businesses with at least 10 employees and annual growth rates of 20% or more, observed over a period of three years. This three-year span is considered the high-growth (HG) period of the company. Even though this growth is often short-lived and difficult to sustain, it plays … ⌘ Read more

Computational tool helps forecast volcano slope collapses and tsunamis
For people living near volcanoes, danger goes well beyond lava flows and clouds of ash. Some explosive eruptions can lead to dramatic collapses of the sides of a volcano, like those at Mount St. Helens, Washington, and Anak Krakatau, Indonesia. The latter triggered tsunamis blamed for most deaths from its historic eruptions in 1883. ⌘ Read more

I like that property (an off-ramp to location-based addressing), so I think I could live with that approach. ✅
(I’m not sure why we’re using text fragments, though. Wouldn’t that link to the first occurence of 2025-10-01T10:28:00Z? That’s not necessarily correct. And, to be proper URLs that Firefox and Chromium understand, it would also need to be written as 2025%2D10%2D01T10:28:00Z. The dash carries meaning, sadly. I think all this just creates needless complication. How about we just go with https://example.com/tw.txt#2025-10-01T10:28:00Z?)

Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum.
I’m trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I’m not trying to “define autism”.
I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If e … ⌘ Read more
Cycling is fun in itself, but doing it to perform a task is extremely satisfying. It feels so good to load up the cargo rack with groceries, or to opt for a bicycle instead of a car to go visit a friend. Biking with a purpose makes my desire to live green feel much more tangible.
