@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Thank you! Not sure what I end up putting in there, but I’m sure I will find some tools to go in. :-)
Yes, this was a flat piece of sheet metal. It went together like a cardboard box, just much slower and with timbers clamped down to get a straight folding line. I don’t have a sheet metal brake, so I just carefully hammered the piece bit by bit. Like in this video by the Sheet Metal Dude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYgEfWEMXk0
ESP32 Bus Pirate Turns Low-Cost Boards into Multi-Protocol Debugging Tools
An open-source project called ESP32 Bus Pirate has been released, inspired by the classic Bus Pirate and adapted for modern ESP32-S3 hardware. Developed by Geo-tp, the firmware transforms low-cost ESP32 boards into versatile debugging devices that can probe, sniff, and interact with a wide range of digital and radio protocols. The firmware supports protocols such […] ⌘ Read more
yt-dlp will soon require a full JS runtime to overcome YouTube’s JS challenges
If you download YouTube videos, there’s a real chance you’re using yt-dlp, the long-running and widely-used command-line program for downloading YouTube videos. Even if you’re not using it directly, many other tools for downloading YouTube videos are built on top of yt-dlp, and even some media players which offer YouTube playback use it in the background. Now, yt-dlp has alway … ⌘ Read more
Run, Test, and Evaluate Models and MCP Locally with Docker + Promptfoo
Promptfoo is an open-source CLI and library for evaluating LLM apps. Docker Model Runner makes it easy to manage, run, and deploy AI models using Docker. The Docker MCP Toolkit is a local gateway that lets you set up, manage, and run containerized MCP servers and connect them to AI agents. Together, these tools let… ⌘ Read more
Legacy Update 1.12 released
If you’re still running old versions of Windows from Windows 2000 and up, either for restrocomputing purposes or because you need to keep an old piece of software running, you’ve most likely heard of Legacy Update. This tool allows you to keep Windows Update running on Windows versions no longer supported by the service, and has basically become a must-have for anyone still playing around with older Windows versions. The project released a fairly major update today. Legacy Up … ⌘ Read more
MCP Horror Stories: The Drive-By Localhost Breach

Here is just a small list of things™ that I’m aware will break, some quite badly, others in minor ways:
- Link rot & migrations: domain changes, path reshuffles, CDN/mirror use, or moving from txt → jsonfeed will orphan replies unless every reader implements perfect 301/410 history, which they won’t.
- Duplication & forks: mirrors/relays produce multiple valid locations for the same post; readers see several “parents” and split the thread.
- Verification & spam-resistance: content addressing lets you dedupe and verify you’re pointing at exactly the post you meant (hash matches bytes). Location anchors can be replayed or spoofed more easily unless you add signing and canonicalization.
- Offline/cached reading: without the original URL being reachable, readers can’t resolve anchors; with hashes they can match against local caches/archives.
- Ecosystem churn: all existing clients, archives, and tools that assume content-derived IDs need migrations, mapping layers, and fallback logic. Expect long-lived threads to fracture across implementations.

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net That’s what I thought as well, sounds way too expensive to me. But I have no idea what the prices are over here. Probably also astronomical. Campers sit around most of the time, one really would need to use them a lot to justify spending so much money on them.

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club This was an interesting read for sure! 👍 I don’t think it had anything I hadn’t already considered in terms of the ethical/moral points of view. I’m not sure where I stand myself either to be honest. I’ve forced myself to get familiar with the ecosystem and tooling, because in my line of work as a tech lead (staff engineer in sre) you don’t want to be that one guy that ya know 😉 Ethically/Morally though, I’m definitely with the sentiment of this post 😅 Much like the whole Crypto hype yaers back (if y’all remember?!) this is also one of the most energy hungry pieces of “tech” (if you can call it that?) in a while. Then there’s these other issues “stealing people’s work”, “reliance is causing humans to become cognitively weak and neural connections to shrink”, to name a few…
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I have to say, this sounds much worse than our stuff at work. (We don’t use any Microsoft services, at least not for core tools.)
It annoys me when I clone a git repository A in order to build and self-host some software, only to realize later that I also needed to clone repos B, C and D. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing–logical separation of code between, say, a client and a server is very handy–but some projects do not communicate very well when you need multiple tools to get it running independently.
