the best decision of the month was refusing to put a lock file in a spending guard.
8 parallel $40 payments against a $100 cap, exactly 2 get through, 15 runs out of 15. each call writes a reservation line and counts only what is already ahead of it.
no lock to hold, so no lock to leak when a process dies holding it.

Since developers aren’t coding anymore, their new job is to rotate secrets every single fucking day

India has ~2 lakh ethical hackers and the #2 researcher base on HackerOne.
A shocking number of bugs are open to even novice hackers.
That makes pentesting one of the most positive-sum spends a government can make.
Fund continuous pentests. Run a national bug bounty.
Pay Indian researchers to break government systems before attackers do.

been inside litellm's codebase all week on a prometheus bug, so this was a strange one to wake up to.
1.107.0's pypi wheels had a credential stealer in them. the github source was clean, so this hit the publish path, not the code. 1.107.0 is pulled now, 1.106.2 is current.

I've been building a dictation tool for my Mac.
It's called Spoke.
Hold a key. Talk. Let go.
About half a second later, clean text lands wherever your cursor is.

Finally, CEXs are dying.
Finally, retail is coming back.
Finally, airdrop szn is coming.
Finally, people are building again.
Finally, no one cares about Binance spot listings.
Finally, founders understand they don’t need to give 10% to Binance for a listing.

In India, we have a saying: “Rishte lafzon ke mohtaaj nahi hote.” Relationships don’t depend on words.
Because in India, sometimes “I love you” sounds like:
“Have you forgotten us now that you’re out exploring the world?” or “I hope you’re keeping up with your physiotherapy after the surgery!”
We don’t always say exactly what we feel. A best friend pulls you into a hug without explaining why. A partner disguises care as a casual reminder.
The words may struggle to come out.
But expressing them shouldn’t feel like work.
That’s what I love about this film, and about Wispr Flow. It makes communication feel seamless, especially when finding the right words isn’t.

someone on the internet rebuilt the sound of a chai tapri. someone else rebuilt a UP roadways bus at night. someone rebuilt a barber shop and spelled it Deluxe Saloon, because that is how it is spelled on every shutter in this country.
I kept finding these. tiny sites, one person each. no monetisation, no roadmap, no launch thread. just somebody recreating a sound they missed.
what got me is what nobody built. not one site about a monument, or a festival, or anything you would put in a tourism ad. they

what got me is what nobody built. not one site about a monument, or a festival, or anything you would put in a tourism ad. they made chai tapris. truck cabins with the radio on. sarkari buses. a paan shop. a construction site at lunch. the gali outside your house in the evening.
turns out the things you actually miss are never the things anyone photographs.
so I put 29 of them into one television.
यादनगर. one remote, 29 channels. turn the dial and you're in a Bihar Parivahan Nigam bus. turn it again and it's 90s cartoons. there's a proper channel guide, because what else would you call it but आज काकार्यक्रम.

if one of these is yours: thank you. you rebuilt something I didn't know I still had.
