  "textContent": "i loved the idea of reoccurring weeknotes from other blogs like mijndertstuij.nl.\n\ndisclaimer: _do not expect this to be overly regular. if there's nothing to note (or no time) i won't post :)_\n\natproto & the fediverse ⁂\n\ni've spent some significant time reading the detailed specs and concepts around the at:// protocol and honestly things are starting to make so much sense. i also stumbled upon tangled.org which is a git-type project that builds the social features on top of at proto – still in alpha stage but very promising. set up one repo over there that is being synced back to github.\n\nif you're also a nerd, go play with pdsls.dev, this has helped me so much in understanding the structure and concepts around personal data servers (PDS) and the atproto protocol.\n\nai, homelab, hermes 🧠\n\nany time spent on social media bombards me with posts and updates of people building out their hermes setup and since i skipped the whole openclaw hype, i caved and set it up on my homelab mini pc.\ni made the mistake and first tried to connect it to my own matrix/ tuwunel instance, which in true matrix fashion was quite complicated (don't do that)... telegram on the other hand is super easy and way speedier.\n\nhermes definitely is a nerd and tech tool for now. this is not something you could let a normal person use, the UX just isn't there for it. but it's a great playground to experiment where the future will lead us. and for that it works amazingly well. all of the world's models available in a telegram chat, linked to personal context, an own obsidian vault, session history, skills, mcps, and the whole shebang: an ai nerd's dream ;)\n\nso far i used it to debug some annoying home assistant automations, wrote several documents as a test, and added a few agent cronjobs to regularly check up on things.\n\nlinks and cool stuff\n\n- artificial analysis has very cool (and detailed!) model comparison charts\n- npmx.dev is such a better version of the sluggish npmjs.com website\n- mdn now has an mcp server\n- top read: Modern Engineering Values\n  - fav quote: _The best engineers exhibit strong ownership and domain expertise in the area they work in. Agents amplify ownership. Someone who deeply understands a product can now execute faster, while someone without context can generate much more noise. As a result, coordination becomes more expensive._ _I believe the most effective teams will be small, often two to three people, with clear ownership boundaries and isolated repositories_\n  - primary learning: context needs to be in repos, not locked in notion or confluence for better agent access\n- Ryo Lu (design at cursor) gave a really interesting presentation at their conference about the future of coding and development – i recommend watching it!\n  - \"_AI is collapsing the distance between ideas and reality._\"\n  - \"_If AI makes execution cheaper but judgment weaker, we do not get a renaissance. We get slop with working buttons._\"\n- slightly concerning, but interesting article about end-to-end encryption on whatsapp\n- very non tech: over here it's been up to 38+ºC; a little plate on the balcony with fresh water has been an absolute hit with the local birds 🐥\n- i updated my /social page with some recent additions\n\nquote of the week\n\nheard this in a tiktok (sigh) this week:\n\n> \"_If you write a problem down clearly and specifically, you have solved half of it._\" (Kidlin's law)",
