Working on getting my life back together. I've been more or less sick for the most of Q1/25. Always some cold, coughing, sometimes worse. Went to work nevertheless most of the time (stupid, I know), because... I don't know. Guess I think work is more important because it gives me the feeling of being good at something and worth it. Didn't take much care about eathing healthy, getting my gym routine done or even enoug…

Building Based Security (https://www.basedsec.io), a startup in the zero trust/identity space creating immovable, attestable, hardware backed identities that can be used for strong and continuous authentication but not moved from the device. We can guarantee the user and the device are known, the user is assigned the device they are using, and characteristics of the identity matches the defined policy. The initial product offering is tied to GitHub/GitLab, offering secure authentication for git over ssh operations with plans to expand to general ssh access and additional systems with pluggable access control.

streaming markdown renderer in the terminal. As far as I know, the only one in existence that works like this, which is why i felt compelled to write it: https://github.com/kristopolous/Streamdown

I'm building a lock-free deque in Rust. I'm not sure what you might need it for, or that it will even pan out to be functional, but, it's a start.

I dove into using LLMs together with MCP servers for the first time this weekend. Absolutely incredible. In addition to the code assistant, I configured a Grafana's MCP server with Cline, so that I can chat with an LLM while having real-time metrics and logs. For context, I self host grafana in addition to a bunch of services on a raspberry pi. Simple prompts such as "why has CPU been increasing this week?" resulted…

This sounds really cool. Do you have any guides or notes on how to set this up? I've been looking for something to dive into for LLM and MCP.

opkssh (https://github.com/openpubkey/opkssh) it lets you configure OpenSSH so you can ssh using your OpenID Connect identity without adding a trusted party other than the IDP. I'm trying to figure out how to TOFU a MFA HW token (yubikey) on first login so we don't even have to trust the IDP. The trick part is to design so if you lose your HW Token you aren't locked out without reintroducing trust. Maybe use a backup code or backup yubikey or the DKIM trick to allow timelocked resets of the HW Token via an email.

Reimagining personalized food, prepared on demand and directly from fresh ingredients, as an always available urban utility. A vertically integrated ready to eat food retail and logistics network with order of magnitude improvements to value proposition, unit economics, scalability and risk profile. Consolidating nearly a decade of R&D for US go to market, our systems are way ahead of the competition by footprint (2m²/20ft²), cost per location (~$25K), degree of automation (complete) and drone integration (integrated multi-drone airport with autonomous handover, recharge, precision recapture). Think last mile delivery aggregator with zero people in prep/packaging/pickup/(post FAA BVLOS normalization ~2Q 2026 in some areas)delivery, meaningful personalization, fresher food, and 24×7 operations. Rough complexity ~10K parts BOM. Internal manufacturing. We aim to grow at ~2× historic QSR rates right out of the gate, then accelerate. Simultaneously, spinning off a few industrial ventures filling gaps in what's available on the market we've had to build for ourselves. Prior unicorn. Currently raising for US GTM, email in profile.

That's really cool. Are you using OpenSSHes yubikey support or building your own?
