bopen sits between a clicked link and the browser: it explains and removes tracking, then opens the link in the browser you pick.

Coding agents are stripping ads and tracking from Android TVs over ADB. What CleanYourTV and dumbtv do, and why my Samsung is out of reach.

How much process I put around AI agents, from OpenSpec to cross-family code review, and why it depends on team size, business needs and code complexity.

OpenPrinter, an open hardware inkjet with refillable, DRM-free cartridges and roll paper, is the first inkjet I'd recommend after 25 years of laser printers.

How the Web Gallery of Art gives language models a plain Markdown version of every record: llms.txt, Accept negotiation, strict limits and edge caching.

What the rebuilt Web Gallery of Art runs on (Go, PocketBase, SQLite, templ and htmx), and how a read-heavy catalogue ended up with such a small stack.

The rebuilt Web Gallery of Art is now public as a pre-alpha at beta.wga.hu. Here's what has been rebuilt, what was kept, and how you can help.

A guide to a containerised media automation setup using the Arr stack, Podman Quadlets and systemd on Fedora Server.

An empty <dialog>, a fragment from the server and an HX-Trigger header: modal windows with htmx and no modal library.

Notes from refactoring a 43-table database: describing it in DBML, then diagramming, documenting and turning it into SQL from one file.

Why I'm designing my own Kossel-style delta after a year with the FLSUN QQ-S Pro, and what goes into it: V-Slot, a Duet 2 Wifi and Klipper.

Nova's table row actions don't know which row they're on. Hand them the row's model with a fluent setter and shape each form to it.

Flashing Klipper onto a Duet 2 Wifi with bossac, and building a working printer.cfg for the FLSUN QQ-S Pro from three different configs.

Swapping the FLSUN QQ-S Pro's factory board for a Duet 2 Wifi: the odd factory wiring, the inverted probe on RepRapFirmware 3, and a working config.

A ready-made .devcontainer for Laravel: Nginx, PHP 7.4, MySQL, Redis and Mailhog in Docker, with VS Code working inside the container.

Since Nova 1.2 the root Vue instance has a Vuex store. Register your tool's module on it with registerModule, no patching required.

Nova 1.2 quietly ships a ProgressButton component. Here's where to find it and how to use it in your own tools.

Patch Nova.js so tools can register Vuex modules before lift-off, and get a real this.$store in every tool component.

Nova owns the root Vue instance, so a tool can't hand it a store. Create one in Nova.booting, keep it on the Nova object and read it from your components.

Store the slug, not the URL: accessors and $appends give an Eloquent model attributes that are computed from its data, in PHP and in JSON.
