The petition calls for the recognition of open-source work as volunteering in Germany, arguing that contributions to open-source projects should be counted towards civic engagement and social commitments, similar to traditional volunteering activities.

The article describes the development of a plugin for the Ghidra software reverse engineering framework that adds support for the Minecraft Protocol (MCP), allowing for the analysis and understanding of Minecraft server software and communication protocols.

The article discusses the evolving nature of jobs, where tasks are being automated or outsourced, leading to a shrinking of individual job roles rather than complete job loss. It emphasizes the need for workers to adapt by developing new skills and diversifying their capabilities to remain relevant in the changing job market.

The article examines how former President Trump and his family have profited extensively from his time in office, through real estate deals, merchandise sales, and other business ventures, potentially amounting to over $4 billion in revenue.

I built a collection of webhook skills because AI coding agents are surprisingly bad at webhook integrations. The generated code looks reasonable until you run it, then signature verification fails, raw body handling is wrong, or the middleware order breaks everything.

PostHog's research on LLM code generation (https://posthog.com/blog/correct-llm-code-generation) found that agents produce more reliable code when referencing known-working examples rather than reconstructing from training data. That's the approach here.

`webhook-skills` is a collection of provider-specific webhook implementations and best practices guides built on the Agent Skills spec (agentskills.io):

  - Runnable examples (currently Express, Next.js, FastAPI, with more frameworks coming)
  - Signature verification with provider-specific gotchas documented
  - Best-practice patterns: idempotency, error handling, retry logic
  - 11 providers at launch (Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, OpenAI, Clerk, Paddle, others), expanding based on my needs or requests.

PRs welcome for new providers and frameworks. I also built an AI-powered generator that automatically creates new provider skills. Point it at webhook docs, and it researches the signature scheme, generates verification code for each framework, writes tests, and opens a PR.

Claude, Anthropic's AI language model, is designed as a 'space to think' - an open-ended conversational assistant that can engage in tasks like research, analysis, and creative exploration, while maintaining transparency about its capabilities and limitations.

A 10-year-old boy swam for hours to save his mother and siblings after they were swept out to sea, displaying remarkable endurance and bravery to bring his family back to shore.

NASA's Artemis program aims to return astronauts to the Moon, including the first woman and person of color, as part of a broader effort to explore and develop the lunar surface for long-term human presence.

The article discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the mental health of young people, highlighting increased rates of depression, anxiety, and loneliness among this demographic. It explores the factors contributing to these mental health challenges and the importance of providing support and resources to address the needs of young people during this difficult time.

The European Union has rejected accusations of censorship from allies of former U.S. President Donald Trump, stating that the bloc's efforts to regulate online content are not aimed at silencing political views but rather at addressing the spread of misinformation and illegal content.

Zerobrew is an open-source project that aims to create a non-alcoholic beer with the taste and mouthfeel of traditional beer, using innovative brewing techniques and novel ingredients to achieve a similar flavor profile without the alcohol content.

The article discusses a peculiar German tax law, the 'Funftelregelung,' which allows certain expenses to be deducted from income tax if they exceed one-fifth of the annual income. This little-known provision has significant implications for German taxpayers and their financial planning.

The article explores the author's personal experience with overwhelming student loan debt and the emotional toll it takes, highlighting the broader societal issue of the rising cost of education and the financial burden it places on individuals.

The article discusses a study that found a fungus living in the human body can make melanoma, a type of skin cancer, more aggressive. Researchers have identified a specific fungus that appears to contribute to the progression and spread of melanoma tumors.

Fireclaw is an open-source, cross-platform game engine written in Rust that focuses on performance, safety, and ease of use. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and features for building 2D and 3D games, including a powerful rendering system, physics simulation, and asset management.

I’d been watching River (Pingora-based) and hoping it would mature, because I think Rust + Pingora (from Cloudflare) is a really solid foundation for a future-proof reverse proxy. Progress stayed quiet, so I started building the “practical reverse proxy layer” on top of Pingora myself: config/routing + operational defaults + a way to plug in extra request/response logic without patching the core.

River: https://github.com/memorysafety/river

Quick try:

curl -fsSL https://getsentinel.raskell.io | sh

If you’ve operated proxies: what’s one default you’d change to make them less surprising (timeouts, retries, header handling, etc.)?

The article discusses the launch of the Rural Guaranteed Minimum Income (RGMI) initiative, which aims to provide a basic income guarantee to residents of rural communities in order to alleviate poverty and promote economic development in these areas.

The article discusses the Cubo, an open-source robotic platform designed for research and education. It provides a modular and customizable hardware and software solution for building diverse robotic applications.

The article discusses the Gateway project, an open-source software that serves as a middleware layer between cloud services and client applications, providing a unified API and facilitating communication and data exchange.

Airtable introduces Superagent, a powerful no-code automation tool that allows users to build custom workflows and integrate data across multiple applications without writing code.
