The threat landscape for AI-assisted development environments has quietly expanded beyond the attack surfaces that traditional security tooling is designed to cover. While conventional supply chain attacks target compiled binaries or runtime dependencies, a new class of attack targets something far more subtle: the behavioral configuration layer of AI coding

A full-stack self-hosted app with email reminders, AI based gift suggestions, and zero framework overhead on the frontend. Why Build a Birthday Calendar? I kept forgetting birthdays. Not the big ones, those are hard to miss, but the colleague whose birthday is next Tuesday, or the friend who always remembers

How I taught my AI assistant to generate 3D-printable models from simple text descriptions The Problem I've been 3D printing for years, but there's always been a gap in my workflow: organic shapes are hard. Sure, I can design a technical items, holders, brackets or enclosure

How an open-source plugin gives Claude Code the ability to remember your entire development history TL;DR claude-mem is an open-source memory system for Claude Code that automatically captures your coding sessions, compresses them with AI, and injects relevant context into future sessions. Think of it as giving Claude a

How to add the right amount of swap space to your Linux based VM for maximum reliability without sacrificing performance. TL;DR - Quick Reference Table VM RAM Recommended Swap Use Case Command 4GB 2GB (50%) Development, light AI workloads sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile 8GB 2-4GB (25-50%) Production apps,

Anthropic's Claude Code has been transforming how developers work, but many users discovered something unexpected: it's incredibly useful for non-coding tasks too. People started using it for vacation research, building slide decks, organizing files, and managing emails. Anthropic took notice and built Cowork — a desktop AI

What happens when you ask your AI assistant to build a full-stack web application from scratch, deploy it to production, and then start using it together? This post documents exactly that — a real-time collaborative development session that resulted in a working Kanban board in under an hour. The Request It

There's a growing divide in the tech world right now. As Shruti Mishra pointed out after spending 40 hours researching Clawdbot: "It's who knows about tools like Clawdbot and who doesn't. I'm watching people work 60 hour weeks doing what I

Every cat owner who works from home knows the struggle: you're deep in concentration, crafting the perfect email or debugging complex code, when suddenly your feline friend decides that your keyboard is the most desirable spot in the entire house. The result? Random characters flooding your document, accidentally

CVE-2025-55182, nicknamed React2Shell, is a critical security vulnerability (CVSS 10.0) affecting React Server Components (RSC) and related frameworks like Next.js. It stems from an unsafe deserialization flaw in the RSC Flight protocol, which handles server payloads. When a server receives a specially crafted request, the payload is deserialized

Unlocking Precise AI-Assisted Engineering Workflows AI coding assistants like Copilot, Claude Code, or Gemini CLI excel at pattern generation. But left to free-form prompting they often produce code that looks right yet misinterprets intent, architecture, or edge cases. Spec-Driven Development (SDD) reframes this by making specifications the first-class artifact in

A deep dive into reverse-engineering a pet feeder API and building a Homebridge plugin to integrate it with Apple's HomeKit ecosystem. Introduction If you're a smart home enthusiast with pets, you've probably noticed a gap: many smart pet devices don't support Apple

The modern internet is shifting back toward open, decentralized protocols where publishers retain control over distribution and audience relationships. Ghost’s Social Web feature brings this vision to life by integrating the ActivityPub protocol into its core publishing platform. In this post, we’ll unpack what this means, how it

Ghost’s new Docker-based installation approach significantly modernizes how a production Ghost instance can be deployed. It introduces first-class web analytics via Tinybird, native ActivityPub support for the social web, and a clean, composable service architecture that works very well with container orchestration. This site you are looking at is

Never miss an important Teams message again—even when you're heads-down in work or away from your desk. The Problem Remote work has made staying on top of communication essential, but constantly watching Microsoft Teams can be distracting. What if you could get a visual indicator that works

Generative AI has reached a point where you can go from a simple idea to a fully printable 3D object with surprisingly little manual modeling. This post walks through my end-to-end workflow for creating custom, 3D-printable objects starting from a text prompt, using a mix of generative AI, 3D reconstruction,

Mailrise solves exactly this problem: it acts as an SMTP-to-modern-notifications bridge powered by Apprise, allowing anything that can send an email to notify you via Slack (and many other services). In this post, I’ll walk through: * Running Mailrise with Docker * Configuring Slack as a notification target * Sending messages from

Modern development workflows increasingly live inside the terminal. With the right tooling, your shell becomes a fast, expressive, and deeply ergonomic environment—far beyond what the default macOS setup provides. In this guide, we’ll build a state-of-the-art developer shell on macOS using the following tools: * fish – User-friendly, smart, interactive

Exposing a Linux server to the public Internet always introduces risk. Attackers constantly scan for open ports, weak SSH credentials, and unpatched services. With a few targeted configuration steps, you can significantly strengthen your security posture without increasing operational complexity. This guide walks you through a practical baseline for securing

Self-hosting your Bitcoin payment stack gives you full control, privacy, and sovereignty and BTCPay Server makes this surprisingly easy. Thanks to the BTCPay Configurator, you can generate a fully automated installation script, deploy it onto a fresh Linux VM in Azure, assign a fixed IP, create a DNS record, and

Operating your own Bitcoin and Lightning stack is one of the most empowering steps you can take in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Running your own Bitcoin node with Electrs and a Lightning node on Umbrel gives you full sovereignty over your funds and your privacy. You verify your own Bitcoin transactions,

BitAxe and NerdQAxe miners continuously produce a broad set of operational metrics. These include hash rate, temperature readings, voltage values, and other details that are extremely useful for monitoring device health and long-term behavior. The devices also have native support for writing these metrics into an InfluxDB v2-compatible endpoint, which
