The user successfully used Claude's headless mode in a continuous loop to decompile Snowboard Kids 2 functions, achieving more progress in 3 weeks than in 3 months. They developed a workflow and tooling approach to manage Claude's autonomy, including a scorer and defensive coding to mitigate failures and optimize token efficiency.
The user's career started at Etak in 1985, where they helped design and build a production line for digital maps, which were then used in navigation systems. The user notes that collecting map data has become increasingly complex over the years, especially with the rise of autonomous vehicles requiring highly detailed maps.
Dycus built a low-resolution black-and-white camera using an old optical mouse sensor after 65 hours of work. The camera has multiple shooting modes, a 3D-printed body, and can capture recognizable images despite its low resolution.
The user set up Immich, a self-hostable photo manager, on a Ryzen 7 Mini PC with Proxmox virtualization. They configured it to run via Tailscale VPN and used immich-go to improve upload reliability and handle Google Takeout archives.
NanoKVM is a hardware KVM switch developed by Sipeed, but it has serious security issues including default passwords and a hardcoded encryption key, and it also contains a built-in microphone that can record audio. The device's security flaws are likely due to rushed development, but there are ways to install custom software and remove the microphone, and similar devices with hidden ...
The author read a book on San Francisco's history and became curious about Huckleberry House, a home for runaways founded in the late 1960s. She visited the San Francisco Public library and discovered the house's archives, including letters from teens to its founder, which inspired her to pursue her own non-profit, Nautilus.
Cloudflare experienced a 25-minute outage on December 5, 2025, affecting 28% of HTTP traffic due to a bug in its rules module. The issue was caused by a change to its body parsing logic to mitigate a React Server Components vulnerability.
The author searched for a José Saramago quote on Google but couldn't find it, leading to paranoia about censorship. The quote was found when the author tried the full phrase "God is the silence of the universe."
The author is working on a project to port PalmOS to the Pixter Color, a toy device from the early 2000s, and has made significant progress, including creating a Pixter Color emulator and designing a board with a 1MB NOR flash for the OS. The author has also overcome several challenges, including the lack of a cache, MMU, and MPU in the Pixter Color's SoC, and has implemented a scheme to ...
