ruptwelve··on Indoor Wi-Fi Roaming with OpenWRT
When I move from Europe to the US I realized that roaming is not as prevalent here as it is back home. The (mostly) wooden houses enable me to just use one really powerful AP for most of my needs.
ruptwelve··on Apple discontinues the Mac Pro
I mean for the cost of the Mac Pro wheels you can get a Macbook Neo these days!
ruptwelve··on Show HN: I put an AI agent on a $7/month VPS with IRC as its transport layer
While I am a huge fan of IRC, wouldn't be simpler to simulate IRC, since you are embedding it? Or is the chatroom the actual point? Kudos on the project!
ruptwelve··on Shell Tricks That Make Life Easier (and Save Your Sanity)
Maybe not a shell trick per-se but I have been a very big fan of zoxide. It can jump around your common directories. If you have a ~/workspace/projects and you are anywhere and type `cd projects` it will take you to that directory. I never realized how much I got hooked onto it, until I used a system without it.
ruptwelve··on Shell Tricks That Make Life Easier (and Save Your Sanity)
The <esc>v has been such a lifesaver at times when having to execute/modify super complex commands!
ruptwelve··on Personal Encyclopedias
This is very interesting. As a person who meticulously daily diaries into Obsidian, my hope is to have a relatively accurate look-back at things I've done in the past. And having a Wiki to show that, feel very interesting now!
ruptwelve··on 90% of Claude-linked output going to GitHub repos w <2 stars
All my repos have at least 1 star! :)
ruptwelve··on Can my SPARC server host a website?
Author here: Thank you for posting this link! And I see the sentiment: "Of course it can, it was built for that"! And I fully agree! My clickbaity title was meant to be in the spirit of 2026. Exposing an older server (although not an old OS) to the internet and all it's nasties was not something I would lightly do. But this old Netra does a good job! I guess the Cloudflare tunnel is a bit of cheating here, but I did not feel comfortable exposing something running at home. So CF came in clutch.

As for the hardware, yeah 1GB of RAM on a 2001 server, kits it out nicely! But even with that, I tried to limit what is running there so the server would actually work smoothly. (I even compiled a few Rust binaries, and yeah that took ages).

My old hardware collection has plenty of other candidates for hosting a website. So expect more!

ruptwelve··on Kiro: DeepSeek, MiniMax, and Qwen now available as open weight model options
I am looking for that Kimi 2.5
ruptwelve··on Can my SPARC server host a website?
My thought was having Solaris there, and well, that is just too ancient for the modern internet (and all its nasty bits)
ruptwelve··on Writing MCP Servers in Rust (stdio, rmcp)
I've decided to dive into the world of writing MCP Servers in Rust!
ruptwelve··on Implementing Rust newtype for errors in axum
`Anyhow` is a great thing to get you started. But ultimately you wanna use some bespoke errors, and just roll your own!
ruptwelve··on Implementing Rust newtype for errors in axum
I'll chalk that up to my Astro theme. It's supposed to be just `Something` and the backticks should have not been visible! Sorry!
ruptwelve··on New version of Amazon Q now works in the CLI
This one is really good as now it can also do stuff on your filesystem (not just a mere chatbot)
ruptwelve··on Kubectl from a Tandy 102 portable computer
I am the author of this text, so happy to answer stuff about it! And yes, I did even weirder things with older computers!
ruptwelve··on Getting and restoring a Sun Ultra 1 Workstation
Nooo! I am not in Germany now! But maybe I can grab it when I come back :D
ruptwelve··on Getting and restoring a Sun Ultra 1 Workstation
I am! I used it extensively while fixing some of the issues here. It is nicely documented!
ruptwelve··on Getting and restoring a Sun Ultra 1 Workstation
Oh I am so tempted right now! If nothing just for that monitor!
ruptwelve··on Getting and restoring a Sun Ultra 1 Workstation
Oh! I will have the chance to do this sometime soon! If I give it a go, I will update!
ruptwelve··on Getting and restoring a Sun Ultra 1 Workstation
I will definitely give this a go! Looks interesting!
ruptwelve··on Getting and restoring a Sun Ultra 1 Workstation
I am very sad for my cracked monitor!
ruptwelve··on Getting and restoring a Sun Ultra 1 Workstation
I had a lot of fun restoring this hunk of junk and trying to make it work. But there is still a long ways to go. Surprisingly there really NOT a lot of information out there on the Ultra 1. But do stay tuned for part 2.
