Took a few days off to continue working on Kviklet a PR like review/approval tool for SQL queries/statements.
Recently added role sync for Saml, oidc and ldap. These auth protocols are complicated though.

#522A disassembly diff tool:
input output -> report
Example summary:
================================================================================
TOTAL
================================================================================
-20 insns, -40 bytes (c.insn→insn +40b) [spill -22, cmov +3, call -2, br -1] mem +13, alu -6, mv -4, bitmanip -1
Added/Removed: +0 / -220 bytes
Functions: 4 better (-20 insns), 0 worse (+0 insns), 1 removed, 1062 unchangedRe: Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)
#523A suite of productivity tools for Claude Code, Codex CLI and similar CLI agents. These solve pain points for me, and I build and share them in the repo[1]. I’ll highlight a couple: - an “aichat” command group that enables continuing work from a session that is at full context usage, by creating a new session and injecting session lineage pointers so the agent/sub-agent can recover arbitrary full details from ancestor…
This is interesting. I wrote a “memory indexer” with the idea to provide a tool (cli) for my agent to “remember” past conversations we had in other session. A little bit in the spirit of your second tool I think
I’ll take a look at the others you have.

#524I was hitting Claude Code's rate limit pretty often while paying for their max subscription. Started thinking – I've got a decent GPU sitting at home doing nothing most of the day.
So I've been building a distributed AI inference platform where you can run models on your own hardware and access it from anywhere privately. Keep your data on infrastructure you control, but also leverage a credit system to tap into more powerful compute when you need it.
We're planning a closed beta in February for folks on the email list – testing the core flow of running your own node, accessing it remotely, and participating in the credit economy. Looking for developers and teams who want to kick the tires on this before we open it up more widely.
If you're interested in the beta: https://sporeintel.com/

#525Over the weekend I finished a kind of hardware project: I added a three-way switch to my ADA MP-1 guitar preamp [1987], mounted on the side panel, which selects one of three different center frequencies for the OD1 drive filter (enabled in "tube dist" mode). Really enjoying the treble boosted setting: "frown curve" centered on 3.2 kHz. It produces a tight, punchy, clearly articulated tone that is heard well in a mix.

#526Spent about 2 years improving printing and scanning stack of Linux: CUPS, SANE, AirSane, as well as some legacy drivers, and also x86 proprietary driver emulation on ARM with Box86. Even that "modern" printing stack in Linux is 20+ years old, there's still such an unbelievable amount of basic bugs and low-hanging-fruit optimizations, that it's kinda sad. Not to mention that it still maintains ALL its legacy compatibi…
Great initiative. I wonder, how likely is it for a complete beginner to break their own printer or scanner by making a mistake in driver implementation? Or is it possible to work on hardware support without having a physical device? I assume it is impossible to test each and every one printer and scanner, so there is probably some clever tricks there, right?
You're not actually telling a modern printer: "step this motor so many times to move some assembly so far this way", or "turn on so much current in such and such circuit" or whatever. The driver doesn't have enough responsibility for such things to be able to break anything.
A printer driver is something like a protocol converter. Roughly speaking, it binds some printing API's in the some kind of printer framework or service on the host to the right language (which may have vendor-specific nuances even if it is some kind of standard0.

#527I've spent the past ~year compiling a US nationwide land parcel dataset. I posted it to kaggle a few days ago: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/landrecordsus/us-parcel-laye... . I'm around 99% coverage of the US. Learned a lot about land records and GIS along the way.
This is really cool. What do you think the remaining ~1% is?
Some counties haven't digitized their maps, some require I go see them in person. There's one in particular that wants me to mail them a check for $10,000. Haven't done that yet...

#528This is something I built over the holidays to support people having a hard time with the short days and early sunsets: https://sunshineoptimist.com . For the past several years I would look up the day lengths and sunset times for my location and identify milestones like “first 5pm sunset”, “1 hour of daylight gained since the winter solstice”, etc. But that manual process also meant I was limited to sharing updates…
Nice! Love the domain. Did you use Claude to design the landing page?

#530I have been building SiteIQ : comprehensive website analysis and security testing platform featuring security testing, SEO analysis, and LLM security testing.
https://github.com/sastrophy/siteiq
I am a student and fascinated by physics and cybersecurity. So to understand more about the field of cybersecurity and web-development, I started this project few months back. Any feedback from all of you will be really helpful in taking this project forward.
