An awe-inspiring hacktivist who hacked two controversial government spyware makers may be the most prolific hacker to have never gotten caught. What do we know about Phineas Fisher?

The lawsuit will likely renew debates about whether term employment agreements are enforceable under California. law

Deploying Python Bots to Koyeb and Heroku with StayPresent Render and Railway tend to dominate the conversation around free Python bot hosting, but Koyeb and Heroku are both still widely used, and both come with their own quirks around ports, process types, and health checks. This guide walks through a koyeb heroku python bot deployment using StayPresent, covering what's different about each platform and what stays exactly the same. Table of Contents What Koyeb and Heroku...

Anthropic says Fable 5 can play Pokémon from vision alone. I verified that claim independently: 1,785 decisions and $65.40 to the first gym badge — then I read its thinking chains in the logs, and the result stopped looking so simple. In short — Anthropic's Fable 5 launch page claims the model beat Pokémon FireRed "with a minimal, vision-only harness." No protocol, no step count, no cost, no code was published. So I built my own harness — matching or undercutting every constraint in the...

Here is a task that comes up constantly. You are doing inference in Rust — candle, burn, ort — and you want to feed a video to a model. Step one is always the same: get the frames. And in Rust today, getting frames means one of two things. Either you shell out to Command::new("ffmpeg") , write PNGs to disk or parse -f rawvideo off a pipe, and read them back; or you reach for the low-level bindings and hand-write the send_packet / receive_frame decode loop — forty lines before the first ...

Track 3: AI & Agent Observability — "Agents of SigNoz" Hackathon (WeMakeDevs × SigNoz, July 2026) The Problem Every team at a hackathon like this is going to show you an agent that's slow, or an agent that errors. We're showing you something worse—and far more common. A multi-agent system where nothing ever fails. No exception. No page. No red dashboard. And yet the system is still stuck. Tasks bounce endlessly between an Executor and a Critic. Work is quietly...

Migraste una base de datos MySQL de Amazon RDS a Amazon Aurora. La read replica de Aurora se puso al día, la promoviste, cambiaste el endpoint de la app, y ahora los writes aterrizan en Aurora. Diez minutos después, o quizá tres horas después, algo anda mal y quieres regresar a la vieja instancia de RDS. Aquí está la trampa. La vieja instancia de RDS está congelada en el momento en que hiciste el corte. Cada pedido, registro y edición que pegó en Aurora desde entonces no existe en RDS. "R...

Building a Live Status Dashboard for Your Python Bot A JSON health check is enough for a hosting platform, but it's not much use to you when you want a quick, human-readable view of whether your bot is actually doing its job. This guide covers building a real python bot status dashboard — with proper HTML, CSS, and a bit of JS — using nothing more than StayPresent's web.html() and the HTTP server it already runs. Table of Contents Why a Dashboard Beats a JSON Blob H...

Short version first, for anyone who just wants the outcome: I run Claude Code on a flat monthly subscription, not pay-as-you-go. For months that plan never gave me a reason to look closely at it, so I stopped looking. Then an overnight automation burned through a week's worth of it in two days, the account locked with four days still to go, and I bought my way out at list price. That cost enough to make me build a small usage meter that now tells me, in plain language, whether I can spend more o...

The most dangerous number in an AI coding dashboard is the one labeled cost without a definition. A local tool can reconstruct token activity from Claude Code and Codex session records. It can apply a dated model-price table. That produces an estimate with a clear use: comparing periods and understanding the shape of local activity. It does not produce an invoice. Start at the file-format boundary Claude Code and Codex do not write identical usage records. Claude can expo...

A week of Claude Code and Codex work leaves enough local evidence to answer concrete questions. When were sessions active? Which provider produced the activity? Which models appeared? How did the token mix change by day? It does not prove that the code was correct, the week was productive, or an API-value estimate was money spent. That boundary is what makes a weekly report useful. Use local calendar days A readable report should cover today plus the previous six local...

I wrote a single-file INI parser/editor for .NET that preserves formatting using regex instead of dictionaries with JSON support. I've been experimenting with a different approach to editing INI files in C#. Most libraries parse the file into dictionaries or objects and then regenerate the entire file when saving. That works well for configuration data, but it usually destroys comments, blank lines, indentation, entry order, or duplicate keys. Instead, I treat the INI file as plain text...

Tired of paying $10/month or sitting through 30 seconds of ads every 3 songs? Me too. So I built HeySongers — a completely free, open-source music streaming app for Android and Windows. Here's what makes it different: No ads. Not a single one. No banners, no video ads, no sponsored playlists. No tracking. Your listening data stays on your device. Period. Offline downloads. Download any song and play it back without internet. Open source. The entire codebase is public. Audit it, fork ...

Building Automated Developer Pipelines Here is how I automated my LeetCode progress, LinkedIn posting, and ATS resume updates using GitHub Actions and Python! Key Learnings Event-driven automation saves hours. Building in public creates continuous proof of work.

I like writing Markdown, but do not like writing it inside a plain textarea. I wanted something I could use anywhere by dropping in a single web component: ``` ``` That became Writemark. It renders Markdown while you write, but Markdown remains the value you read, store, and submit. It also has source, split, and preview modes, along with slash commands, tables, task lists, code blocks, native form support, and an API for adding your own controls. There are no runtime dependencies and no requir...
