1972 Unix V2 "Beta" Resurrected
(tuhs.org)
Hi everyone, First-time poster here. Near the end of last year, I did some forensic analysis on the DMR tapes (https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Applications/Dennis_Tapes) and had some fun playing around with them. Warren forwarded a few of my emails to this list at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, but it was never my intention for him to be my messenger, so I'm posting here myself now.

Yaak 2.0 – Git, WebSockets, OAuth, and More

I thought I was done building API clients after moving on from Insomnia in 2019, but the market sadly shifted toward mandatory accounts and proprietary sync services. So, I built Yaak to be the tool I’d be proud to put my name behind. That day is finally here.

AI Models Like GPT-4o Change Without Warning. Here's What You Can Do About It
(libretto.ai)
As we move into a world where more and more of our software depends on large language models like GPT and Claude, we are increasingly hearing about the problem of “model drift”. Companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are constantly updating their deployed models in a ton of different ways. Most of the time, these updates don’t make much of a difference, but once in a while, they can absolutely torpedo one of your prompts.

I ditched my Pi-hole but still block ads with NextDNS

I love the idea behind the Pi-hole: block ads at the DNS layer so ads never even reach your devices. No ads, no trackers, and no worries about your extensions breaking! Works network-wide! Unfortunately, it caused me more grief than joy.

Svelte 5 is not JavaScript
(npub.pro)
For the last couple of weeks, I've been dealing with the fallout of upgrading a web application to Svelte 5. Complaints about framework churn and migration annoyances aside, I've run into some interesting issues with the migration. So far, I haven't seen many other people register the same issues, so I thought it might be constructive for me to articulate them myself.
