I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.

I added a chat tool to https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw , so any active session can chat to each other, regardless of what model they run. It's led to interesting outcomes: …

You're not getting it. The env vars are only exposed in the local agent runtime. The agent's identity against Azure Key Vault determines what it has access to. (and I also expand some env va…
comment
I just gave my agents a keychain tool that expands prefixed environment variables automatically into their shell. Can work locally or against a cloud key vault. Done.

That was an early attempt to stop LLM scraping and wholesale content stealing that I completely forgot about, even though it seemed to be quite effective until I turned on Cloudflare’s AI scraping pre…

Actually, no. DTIM was always 3, if you'd bothered to read the original post - https://taoofmac.com/space/reviews/2025/09/14/1630 I do know what Apple de…

Ubiquity would have added another zero (at least) to the price here and bring cloud features I very determinedly did not want to have in the first place (check the original post at https://…
